It's been ages since I posted, and just like last time I'm dealing with some medical related issues that I'm not really going to get into detail about just yet - the important bit is that I'm still having my meds adjusted.
I've got another doctor's appointment next week and I'm hoping (HOPING!) that will finalize the changes for awhile.
On the mental health front, Crazy!Doc has pulled me off of ALL my meds due to possible contraindications. Oh yeah, there is no possible way this could end poorly. /sarcasm
So Captain came in to my last psych appointment and spoke to the doctor with me so that we both would have an idea of what warning signs to look for (because I am aware that I don't necessarily recognize the early signs of a depressive episode because those things are sneaky and stealthy and ... well, you know how depression works) because Crazy!Doc wants me to be careful. Captain even grabbed one of my doctor's cards on the way out so that he could make some phone calls if he needed too.
I've also cut back on my caffeine intake like whoa. As in I only drink diet pop when we're out for dinner, and am sticking to ginger ale and flavored water at the house and when we're gaming.
Unfortunately, while all these changes are being made in an effort to make me healthier in the long run, right now I am so worn down and tired and exhausted. I've managed to get the house as unpacked as I can without the Captain having some time to help out, and we have appointments several times a week that I've been making sure we keep on top of, but I've been letting other commitments fall to the wayside and I feel so guilty about that.
Top on the guilt list is the prize I owe![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bambu345 from the Exchange Bingo. Bambu has been super understanding about my lateness, but I signed up with the understanding that I would produce a fic in a timely manner and that is what I need to do. Easier said than done, of course. I've barely even managed to get a few sentences written (but I've got NOTES!). Still ... I've got a job and I need to do it.
Although I may need a nap first.
Dang it.
