So, yeah, I’ve been a bit tired lately. But I mean really tired. I’ve found myself having to leave yard sale preps to take a nap for a couple hours. And as soon as I got off work on Thursdays I go home and go to bed for the night. Three hour naps during the day. Then I get up and have no energy!
You might say, as I have “Boy all this change is affecting you!” and yes it is to be expected to some degree, but take me out completely? Hmm something’s wrong here.
I do take prescribed medication for my depression, anxieties, insomnia and such. It’s such a common part of my day, just like brushing my teeth and checking my email, so I don’t pay too much attention to it.
My day: Grab the bottles, one of these, one of those, this one, that one and Diet Coke to wash it down. Proceed with day. At night I take one here and one there and I’m off to sleep. Repeat.
Yesterday I decided to slow down a bit as I ‘popped my pills’ and look at each bottle as I took out the little happy tablets.
OH MY GOSH! I’ve been sabotaging myself!
One of the pills I take at night is to help me sleep at night. It tends to give me a little ‘hang over’ affect the next day so I ALWAYS take a quarter of the recommended dose. A QUARTER. I found out today that in addition to taking a quarter of said medicine at night, I’ve been taking a FULL dose when I get up for the day – for the last two weeks! NO WONDER I’M TIRED!!
I feel so dumb and relieved all at the same time. I thought there was something really wrong with me since I was getting plenty, no a gazillion hours of sleep and I was still wiped out! Why did it take me so long to figure it out??
Wow. That is crazy!!! I'm glad you figured that out!
ReplyDeleteI think all the necessary prescriptions we have to take just get overwhelming sometimes. Glad you solved that problem though. Take care and have a wonderful day!
