Hello all...
I hope your Thanksgiving went well. Mine was, well...a depressed crying blur. Sure enough, my buzzing, chipper personality crawled back into the cocoon of depression on Wednesday. I took a nap after lunch because I was feeling soooo sleepy. Within a few hours, my brain was totally numb again.
I barely made it to my parents' house for turkey day. Just wanted to SLEEP and cry.
I told my little brother who suffers from seizures that I was also on anti-convulsants. (he just turned 21) He thought that was funny... Then he proceeded to tell me that sometimes seizure drugs are "FUN" because sometimes he has these waking dreams where people have to "wake him up". He said that sometimes he hears a grunting noise when he's awake..or sometimes the voice of a radio DJ playing over and over in his head. (I didn't even ASK him!) He just started telling me this as though it was "cool". But he said he would never tell my mom and dad, though.
Does this strike anyone else as strange? I don't want to play armchair psychiatrist, but maybe this is an early sign of scitzophrenia? I told him that he could tell me anytime if it starts to happen and he's scared.
My mom and dad are totally in denial about our mental problems in the family...like, hey--it's fine...no problems here...just go to church and everything will be fine.
I'm so glad that spanksgiving is over.
Back at work today and in a decent mood.
At this point, this thread is acting as my mood log and journal. Hope no-one minds.
Later,
fluffy
