Medicated depression, day #31
Woke up past 7 this morning, son and wife bailed out early and I had some breakfast, took meds and got dressed. On the bus the usual crowd of school kids screaming on top of their lungs .. but I did not hear any of that as I had my headphone plugs in, podcasts.
Discussions with doctor yesterday got me thinking about certain topics, such as if I felt any side-effects and/or anything else .. mentioned sweating but added that "if I sweated more, I need to shower more" .. as one of the effects of depression could be decrease in personal hygiene, this would instead increase personal hygiene.
I also got suggested that I could apply to be analyzed for ADHD or ADD later when out of the depression, as I had mentioned during my therapy sessions that I suspected that I had some "letters or spectrum" as I had noticed that I wasn't functioning like other kids when I was little .. and that I saw lots of signs I recognized in my self while watching son grow up, as he is diagnosed with ADHD and is learning to live with it. Doctor said it could indicate ADHD or ADD or some other combination of letters, or nothing. Everything is a spectrum and most of it is measured on a scale where it becomes a disability and/or a handicap .. I've learned to live and compensate for my problems and inner chaos, in a functional way.
Later: Got a beginning headache, rumble in the back of my head and a steady buzz in my forehead, tension headache. Along with mushy brain.
