And… My Back is Out

Fun happens at the wrong time sometimes.  My back is now out… don’t ask about where it went out too.  And I have no idea what I did to it.  But that’s the way it usually happens.

So now I can just relax, and not do anything to make it worse.  Or I can put on a Lidocaine patch to knock out the pain.  What do I do?  I would rather not use the meds if I can avoid it.

So I am going to sit in my chair and relax it away.  What should I do about dinner??

Depression Hang Overs

Since I started one of my new meds, my depression has been a lot better.  I used to get depressed for weeks at a time… now just 4 months later, they generally last less than a day.

Last week, I was depressed for a couple of days, then I worked out of it Friday morning.  But I had a depression hang over… I was right on edge, and totally drained.  Saturday morning could have gone either way.  I was feeling totally out of it.

It took my well into Saturday afternoon to finally start to feel like myself again.  Normally that does not happen.  But I think the fact that my depression was longer than normal contributed to that.  Whatever it was, it made for a difficult morning for Lori.  But everything worked out okay.

The depressions I have are not gone… but they sure are easier to get out of, and manage.  It does surprise me sometimes… like last week.  I feel better about getting thru even the worst depression, though it can leave me with a Depression Hang Over.
