Get Up, Get Up, Get Up!

January 5, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss 3 Comments

This is starting to be a broken record.

Why can’t I just get up? Last night I went to bed just before 10 PM. I set my alarm for 7 AM. This gave me an extra hour of sleep beyond the “8” I require. Of course, even 8 hours of sleep is probably an hour more than I physically need these days.

But here I am getting my day started at 8:57 AM.

I’m going to give my General Practitioner a call tomorrow morning. And maybe put a call into my Psychiatrist, as this started around the time my Prozac was increased.

I can also look at the side effects of Prozac.

Both of my Doctor’ s have a list of everything I am taking, both prescription and more natural herbs. So perhaps there is an interaction we have not thought of.

Regardless, I do not want to continue this way.

READ: I wish I could sleep

I miss the time I would have for myself. I do not like feeling rushed about getting ready for work, either. So, I will keep you posted and keep working on this.

Tomorrow’s another day and I once again have the chance to get up as planned, not when I must.
