Bad Days

-
Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go your way? Today is one of those days. Nothing major, but I've had so many little things go wrong today. Ugh.

Now I'm at home and not leaving. I'm wearing my Dr. Who shirt, watching Dr. Who on netflix, and drinking Kava tea to help me relax. I'm washing a load of clothes to get all packed up for the weekend.

So, I went to the Doctor the other day. He had the lab draw blood to test my cholesterol and thyroid. He gave me a prescription for tramadol, and told me that I can take aspirin or tylenol with it, which I hadn't known before. He gave me a new prescription for Maxalt, which is a triptan. I've had trouble with triptans before, but maxalt is a different one, so we'll see how it goes. Oh, and I'm still taking the verapamil.

So tomorrow I head up to Denver. I get to see my folks, my sister and her family, and my cousins that live there. We're taking my nieces to the zoo. And having a family reunion.

I say "so" too much in these posts. I need to stop that.

I think my head hurts. What an odd statement, but I better go take something. Then I'm making myself some comfort food for dinner.

working on it

so since i last posted, i've had some level of migraine pain every day. migraines make me depressed, and i'm pretty sure depression gives me migraines. So i've set myself somewhat of a schedule, a routine for working out. Tuesday, thursday and Saturday are crossfit. Wednesdays are training runs, whether i do an easy run, intervals, whatever. Fridays are cardio of whatever variety I can do. Sundays are long runs, which right now is about 3 miles. Mondays are rest, which can include yoga and dog walking. it felt good to get to workout today, but i had to take it slow and scale back. i'll try to get out and run tomorrow morning. so that's my goal this week, to workout every day till Monday. and to take my meds every day because i often forget, especially when i'm migrainy or depressed, which is what these meds are supposed to fucking help. it's what misty would call the merry-go-round of knives. if i can get into a routine and schedule, i think it will

because I can

I've decided to reboot this blog as a therapeutic space for myself. Not sharing on social media or anything, just sharing randomly on teh inter webs. because, depression. mild anxiety, but mostly depression. and maybe someone else will stumble onto this and not feel quite so alone. I'm still not super comfortable talking about my depression on social media. I'm going to talk about it here. I'm going to let it all out and maybe even find some answers. background: diagnosed with dysthymia after reaching my lowest point. currently on bupropion and sertraline. I belong to a Crossfit box and try to attend 3 days a week. OH yeah, i also have chronic migraines. my pain levels stay low but i get all the symptoms under the sun for days on end. strength training has become my go-to exercise because even on migraine days I do manage some light weights. I used to run, and i loved running. in my low depression I didn't run and it's much harder for me now. I got into

In Need of Advice

-
Most of my local girlfriends follow me here, so I can ask for advice. I'm a messy person. I always have been. J knew this when we started dating. He knew it when we moved in, when we got engaged, when we got married. He still isn't used to it, and eventually we argue a little about the state of the house. I've never been very organized. I'm a stacker. I like to make stacks and piles, and then leave them there. Fortunately, I'm not a afraid of germs or dirt. Or maybe that's unfortunately, since it would probably help me keep a cleaner house. I see my friends' houses and don't know how they do it. Especially the ones with kids. How do you keep your counter so clean? How do you keep things put away? Another part of the problem is that I don't like cleaning. I mean, sometimes I actually say, "Oh, let's do some dishes. That sounds like the thing to do now." Sometimes. Other times I look at my dirty dishes and want to just throw them
