i started on a new mood stabilizer (trileptal) the other day and i am slooowly starting to feel less like a depressed zombie and more like shannon again but i’m still not quite there yet. i’m just trapped in this space between wanting to do things and not actually being physically able to do them and it’s really frustrating.

i am doing better, though, and the dose was just raised so here’s hoping i’ll keep seeing improvement!

i am so ridiculously depressed and my interstitial cystitis is flaring up like crazy someone please give me a hug

and i’m still hella depressed, but i figured it might be a good exercise to write a list like that. sleeping isn’t happening so i guess i’ll go play harvest moon. i really, really hope that today is significantly better than the past week has been, because i can’t take it anymore.

i just want a hug.
