Maybe I'm trying to tell myself to run before I can walk and it just is not working. I can't stand being unproductive but neither can I push myself.
Mirage I am on a very low dosage of anti-depressants. Didn't want to get hooked on pills hence the low dosage. Oh, and yes my sleep pattern is all over the place, I cannot get off to sleep for hours and then I oversleep and feel guilty when I don't rise till lunch time.
I have experienced loss before, grandparents and parents but this has knocked me for six. I have even experienced physical pain with this loss which I did not know was possible until now.
I know my friends on here will be there for me when I am more myself. It's just that I get impatient with myself sometimes for not being able to pull myself together. So, it's now back to my unproductive jigsaw puzzle pieces to calm me down. |
You will not get hooked on anti-depressant...sleeping pills are much more likely to have that effect... but for now, your brain lacks neurotransmitters (serotonine mainly) and the anti-depressants slows down the degradation of the little you produce... it will take time before your brain gets to normal levels of production...so you cannot "kick yourself" into being productive, it is physiological not psychological... as for the previous losses in your life you were grieving, now you are depressed... not the same... take the time, talk to your doctor and over time your brain will get back to normal... and you will get out of the fog... (stress is a bi**h!)... |
Oh mirage, you can't realize how much your explanation has helped me. I was getting so annoyed with myself because I couldn't 'kickstart myself' into doing things I previously did normally. Seratonine levels being down, now I can understand that, it makes sense to me now. Thank you so much, I don't feel so guilty now. |

Glad I could help really... so give yourself a break (no shame or guilt, would you feel guilty having broken a leg?) and get the proper medication with the right dosage... that will lift some of the fog and help you feel more like yourself...time will do the rest...

Hi Toots, sorry I missed this whole conversation. It sounds like you're on the right path, so just hang in there. I can absolutely understand the jigsaw puzzle thing. I come from a long line of jigsaw fanatics, and the harder they are the more I like them. But my grandmother was the true jigsaw purist. She believed you could look at the cover, then dump out the pieces, and after that you closed the box and put it away. You were never allowed to look at the picture again until you finished the puzzle, that was cheating. |

This is my highest money-maker, all sites combined. I always meant to go back and add corners to this, but I've never gotten around to it. It sells great anyway! Sold in NYC:
