The first day

So it went well. I had anxiety when it was time to take the medicine. After that I stomach cramps and nausea. I just didn’t have any desire to eat so I didn’t. Instead I drank coffee all day. I was home with the kids all day and why not?!

Overall, I felt great. On Wednesday nights I clean a kitchen and bath showroom. This is usually a time I listen to audiobooks but last night I wanted music. I blew through the showroom 45 minutes faster than normal. I felt focused.

Last night was rough though. I smoke cannabis at night and I did like normal. When it was time for bed it was late and we just went to sleep. I got this giant burst of energy. I was really hopeful and excited. So I ended up getting up and smoking more and I wrote a chapter to a novel I’ve been working on the last few weeks. When it was time to go back to bed I didn’t have too hard of a time sleeping.

So it’s 8:30am now and I took my second pill a half hour ago. Cheers.

Today I start Zoloft.

I’m 37. I’ve never been on any medication. I do have my medical marijuana card. But that’s it. Oh and a CPAP. But yeah. That’s it. Today I got help. I’ve been struggling with depression ever since I was younger but it’s never been what I considered bad or unmanageable. But since COVID its getting there. Maybe it’s always been a problem. Who knows. But this blog is going to be my experience with medication.
