Plus I Got Depression

[Doktor Howl]

So, right about 3 pm, my lab mate came up, we were talking for a bit. I was telling him about how crappy I've been feeling, how tired, how unmotivated, and he says, "You know, have you been taking that medication regularly?"

And I say "....nnnno?" And I sigh and realized I've been forgetting to take it.

I knew you were going to be upset about that, but I thought it would be better to be up front rather than lie.

[Freeky]

Kai, do you have a cell phone that has an alarm function? That's how I used to remember taking my pills.

[Kai]

I should be taking it first thing in the morning, when I get up.

[Freeky]

You should still set an alarm, if you can. It'll help you remember.

When I was on a lot of pills I missed a bunch of them until I bought a crap load of cheapo alarms and set them up around where I would be when I was due for a pill.  Morning pill:  I placed it by the sink in the bathroom and set it for a minute or two after I expected to get out of the shower.  Mid-morning pills:  alarm in my locker set for the break between 1st and 2nd block.  Lunch pill:  I kept my pill in a baggy in my wallet.  It would fall out when I went to pay for lunch....  You get the idea.

[Doktor Howl]

I remember to take my pills because they fuck me up.

I seem to have lost the ability to cry. Which is weird, because before I used to be able to get weepy at the drop of the hat.

Now all I can do is wail.

My oldest daughter was born without the capacity to cry tears. She can, and does, CRY, but her eyes won't weep tears, which got her accused of faking in pre-school until I set them straight.

Once, when she was five, a tear escaped her eye. I took a picture of it.

I am hoping that as she gets older something changes for her, because weeping tears is such a fundamentally human thing I imagine it could be very difficult and unsatisfying to be unable to.

do her eyes get very dry?

Aww.

I need to start doing that. I keep forgetting my second dose of ADD stuff until it's too late to take it, and then I get all annoyingly bouncy and distracted and am useless for the rest of the day.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

do her eyes get very dry?

No, her tear production seems normal, but her drainage ducts are apparently so fantastically efficient that they sweep the tears away before any of them leak out. I'm totally used to it now but people who haven't seen her cry before are usually a bit taken aback. It was also funny when she was small, having a little baby who would be bawling, but with no tears dripping out.

I took my meds earlier last night then watched a Clint Eastwood film and a documentary on chemistry.

I slept until gone midday. I will feel drowsy as fuck all day now.

Dammit I need a lower dose I think.

Plus I'm not on any anti psychotics yet.

I've noticed, that along with the typical foggy head and headache, the last day my temperature sensors have been all wonky. My temperature is fine, I just feel cold unless I really bundle up.
