How do I feel?
April 6th, 2010
Thanks Anne-Peneloppe and Amy, I have been feeling low this weekend and I needed someone to tell me to keep going on the lower dose of Paroxetine.
I'm still feeling pretty rubbish today, I'm so tired and have a headache but I'm back home with my husband and that has cheered me up.
I'm no good at saying how I feel and I wish I could write poetry, but I think I get better at writing every day. I feel recently that life speeds by and leaves me behind trying desperately trying to keep up. I'm starting my secondment next week and feel I have so much to do before then. I'm meeting my study group on Friday and I have done no research. I don't seem to recognise myself. I used to be super organised and dependable, now I'm disorganised and rely on others to bail me out. At least I have understanding friends.
I know all this makes little sense but I'm trying to understand how I feel. I used to have social anxiety disorder (I'm not sure if it is a disorder or extreme shyness, but that's another blog) but since the medication this has got better so I wonder if the disorganization is partly due to this and partly due to the depression.
I'll try sticking to the lower dose for a couple of weeks and see what happens.

Well Delilah, I really think that plain old anxiety causes disorganization and confusion. I can remember in the depths of my worse anxiety, before I started taking the Paxil, I couldn't remember anything, and I honestly couldn't do anything either. Keep in mind that I am a really gifted multi-tasker by nature, so this was very disheartening to me as well.
You will be ok. Just keep on keeping on and your body will adjust.
