So. Things. They happen.
I'm gonna have to either up my dose or change meds because while it was helpful during low level depression and anxiety, I'm currently dealing with a worsening mental state and was up until 3 am after having the highest dosage I'm allowed to take in a day. My sleep's been getting steadily worse for the past two weeks and hit pre-med state about four to five days ago. Not fun.
Took me a while to figure out what's going on, but I know it's another shard of trauma being processed. Sucks, but I will grow from this.
But! Unlike previous bad episodes, I realized quickly that things were getting bad, called my psychiatrist right up for an appointment took precautions to minimize the damage episodes can do. I have therapy next week, I've got simple meals planned out for the next week that just need popping into the oven or slow cooker, wife is informed and very supportive, we've worked out a list of everyday stuff I still gotta do despite being in a bad state, I couldn't get a psychiatrist appointment earlier than the end of next month but it's made.
So. Yeah. Damage control's in place, I still feel pretty bad but I know it'll pass, which I don't take for granted and is incredibly helpful.
