yay! Well it looks like this is week 3 on Prozac (10mg)
All feels really good. Its like everyday I notice something new. Yesterday I noticed I haven't been going to the bathroom 30 times a day! *lol* I was constantly going to the bathroom!
And it was immediate. Like I couldn't hold off my bladder or something terrible will happen.
Yesterday I noticed I have only been needing to go maybe 2 or 3 times -- if that; while at work...
So thats cool.
I would not give my sister my stamp of approval and recommend this medication at when I first started it. As I had so many bad feelings and memories of things that happened to people in the early 90's that were on Prozac.
But I have not had any of those problems. Maybe something else contributed to their ill effects back then..
My experience has been nothing but positive and fabulous.
I would definitely recommend it now.

It is so crazy that I actually like this anti-depressant. I have refused it from so many doctors; so so many times.
This is my 2nd week on Prozac.
I'm finding it easier to 'do all the things'. Those easy things. Well, it should be easy anyway. But I just wouldn't keep up with them or I felt reluctant to do it. But not for any specific reason.
Something as simple as taking a vitamin. So yes. I am finding that more easier. And I would often not take my thyroid med on my days off. Why? Is it really that difficult to reach into my purse?? I can't know LOL
I'm less thirsty too. I thought it was just a "me" thing to always be drinking something. So weird.
I find myself not sleeping in til 11:00 on my days off too!
I feel like I'm not constantly exhausted, come to think of it. I have also found myself drinking or 'craving' less sugary drinks like my rootbeer and coffee. Actually someone bought me a blended coffee yesterday and I usually get xlrg. And she brought me a large. Which looked small. But it took me FOUR hours to drink it
I feel joy. Happiness. I'm not just playing mobile games constantly and going to work, and back home to my games. I think those mobile games for some are an 'escape from reality'. Ya know?...
So, here I am giving Prozac my stamp of approval.
Weirdest words to ever come out of my mouth! LOl
What else can I tell you about my experience so far. Hmmm well I am sure getting a lot of work done in the office. I complete one task, boom! On to the next one. Boom! Next please!!
I feel like I'm not eating needlessly. I'm eating less. Eating when I'm actually hungry. Weird...
I am actually doing things when I think of them. Not saying eh... I will do it later.
It sounds silly but, I went into my Pandora account and made some playlists. And I love them!! I am usually lazy and just tell nosy rita (Alexa) -- play music. Or play 70's music. lol
My playlist is freaking awesome!!! Macklemore, Lindsey Stirling, Lindsey Stirling with Amy Lee and other awesome artists, Billie Eillish, Tori Amos - A sorta Faerytale. luv that song. I also made a cool 80's playlist.
So, I luvvvvvv those 80's songs from all the John Hughes movies -- Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club... luv luv luv!! Tears For Fears, The Psychedelic Furs,... Well apparently I could just go on and on about music lol
When I tell people about Lindsey Stirling that she is such an exciting fabulous violin player. I get 'that look'. No I do not have 2 heads. No, I do not sit around listening to orchestra music. BUT Lindsey is different. And I still have a huge love for the violin that was sparked when I was just in 5th grade. I've always regretted not continuing or picking it back up as an adult. #violinhasmyheart
Get ready to be obsessed!

ok. a week on Prozac for the very 1st time. So, all seems to be going just fine. No weird false memories of things that have not happened to me. No nightmares. Not seeing things that aren't there. No paranoid....
I remember all the things that went wrong for people back in the 1990's. I actually had a friend that had her life ruined by this medication. And family relationships destroyed because of the nightmares, night terrors, false memories of sexual molestation by her brother and father. ALLLLLL the talk shows were filled with stories of people who took Prozac and had horrible reactions to it. Suicide, rape and molestation that didn't really actually happen.... On and on and on.
So, I have always refused to take this drug. It's been offered to me many many times.
Aside from all of that, I don't notice any adverse reactions for myself. I have only noticed improvements. And am very happy.
Theres even a few things that Zoloft may have been contributing to that have improved. I have developed a sudden jerk in my right hand that would just happen out of the blue while writing or on the computer and that has decreased a lot. I also don't feel so hazy and zombie like in my head. But especially in the area in my eyes and right behind my eyes. And It seems like I'm not constantly exhausted feeling either. I would wake up feeling exhausted. :) Now makes me wonder; like how many things of the way we feel actually have to do with medication!

Diet. The word pretty much nobody loves. Lets put it with another word -- buddy! sister! Wooohoo!!! Now it sounds like something totally fun and happy.
Yay! So, I have day 3 down. I can't exactly say that I made lots of healthy choices today. *lol* But I did take steps towards progress and shared them all with my diet buddy. My sister.
Since blended coffees probably have more calories than a big mac. I talked to one of my coffee shoppe girls today and discussed what I can do to reduce calories in my coffees. So she recommended a different milk. Which coconut milk to both of us is a much better choice. I stay away from almond. And we are both coconut lovers. So, yay! And my coffee tasted different. But really really good.
And she also showed me the sugar free flavor list. So I feel like this is totally do-able.
I am on day 3 of vitamins. I've been vitamin D deficient for several years. But ummm have not been taking the supplement I'm supposed to take. So, I started back on my 10,000 IU of D3. As well as added in a B12.
And I am most excited for my drink supplement to get here. I need a replacement if I am going to stop or decrease with my rootbeer. lol Did I forget to mention my vitamin drink is strawberry shortcake flavored. Ummm yeah!! And there is also cotton candy flavor, and rainbow sherbert. I don't know. It's like they had me in mind for this product.
I am hoping to have help with mental clarity. This brain fog is just out of control. Decreasing sugar should help that too. I also am looking to increase energy and not be so tired all the time. I wake up tired! How is that even possible...
I want to say bye-bye to Arby's. Yes, I know you will miss me. But ya gotta go to the curb!
I've also taken some cool steps towards self care also. I know! I'm on a roll *lol* I got mascara and matte liquid lipstick from Farmasi. Someone friended me on Facebook and its like it was fate or something. I've wanted to start taking better care of myself. It's like I totally lost myself when I got divorced and quit doing every single thing that was positive; that I had achieved...
Also ordered the most incredible lotion I've ever had. It's a wee spendy. But it totally works wondered. Only time I've ever had silky soft smooth hands. And I tossed in a facial scrub. They are both made from apricot kernel along with other natural ingredients.
And since sleep is part of a healthy routine. I guess I should be getting there! LOL

I'm sure glad its not referred to as 'mental help'. Then I would have to ask WHERE is the help??
Actually I think I have the right to still question that. When agencies in charge of helping are aware that a woman with children, pregnant has mental health, general health and learning disabilities and social issues in general; why is this person not being helped? Why is "we're keeping on eye on her call us if you see anything" done from a desk??
I am very very saddened that one of my tenants - only 21 years old!
Passed away unexpectedly. And family services has been aware of her need for help. But shrugs their shoulders saying sheepishly I dont know. We can't help someone who doesn't want help.
Ummm ok, could you not try a little harder?
At first I was sad and shocked. Now I am in anger mode. I actually live at the properties I manage. I live close to my tenants. I myself am a tenant because of my income and living on the property I have to follow the same rules and regulations, recertifications, qualifying, proof of income, bank info, etc...
So, now everytime I walk out my door I am reminded of a tragedy that should not happen.
A mother went to bed last night without a daughter, a boyfriend - love - significant other went to bed last night without the one he loves . A baby is left to wake up to a completely different world today. Mommy is not here.
And we hear about these sort of things on the news all the time. People who 'slip through the cracks'. Well why isn't something done if we are aware of it! Why does it seem like the people in charge, those in high places to help - well they just don't seem to at all.
If a young mother who needs extra help is constantly getting pneumonia, and RSV. Why is a health professional not taking an extra measure to check in on this person. If she almost had her 1st baby removed from the home due to not feeding the baby enough; isn't that a good enough reason for family services, public health nurse, or someone to be keeping tabs on the family? And with her being pregnant and having all these factors -- why are extra measures not taken?? And I have had conversations with family services, I have been told the case worker has said many times she hates coming to the low income complex. Really?? Well you don't hate cashing your check. You don't hate the nice SUV you drive. You don't hate the nice clothing you wear. Oh but you hate doing your job your educated to do. wow...
It's ok, to keep tabs on drug addicted. And its ok to check in on them and make sure the home is clean, they are clean, etc... But serious mental health? hmmm nope nobody got time for that. Which one is more important? I am well aware that it is hard to get off of drugs etc... but that is a CHOICE. Learning disabilities, mental health those are not a freaking choice!
I'm sorry but I just want to scream scream scream!!! I don't even live in a big city where ppl can easily slip through the cracks without anyone noticing. Population of my town 5000!
I am just so sorry that we all failed you Jasmine. It's not right. It's not fair. Not fair to your unborn baby, not fair to your little baby girl, or your mother or your family or your great love who loved you so perfectly.
xoxo
