Journal Entry for August 23, 2008 Mood
Saturday, August 23, 2008 | A Breaking News story

I started to seriously work out 3 days ago. I am calling each day a number, I am now on day number 3 and I have run!! Yayyhhh! 

 

I am on prozac and have been working on not sleeping so often, it is working, I work 3rd shift and love it and do home health care during the day and love that too.

 

Though my depression has been a struggle. I do believe prozac is working wonders for me. They put me on suppressors for the last year due to a spontanious spending problem I have had in the past, which is NO longer a problem... I will NEVER go on anything like that again! ever!

 

I took myself off the suppressor and antidepressent due to falling asleep while driving, then begged them to let me go on prozac because I KNEW one of the side effects was sleeplessness and that is one I wanted..(I had been on prozac years ago and remembered that it did keep me awake. 

 

 funny I work two jobs and get more sleep than a person with only one job. sigh...but since I started working out the prozac is working for me much better, That means that during the time I started it 3 weeks ago, I was still struggling with depression issues and not working out, but both together are lifting me up!!

 

I have found I need to work out everyday because if I miss a day I don't go back. kind of like an extremist.  I also have given up caffeen...been off of it for 3 weeks. I drink crystal light green tea with rasberry. No caleries NO caffeen.  and I am feeling much better.

 

It takes a while to get unaddicted, course I took myself off my medicine the same time I took myself off of caffeen...talk about hell week..haha! 

 

But at least my dr. listened to me and let me go on something I thought would work...and yep..it is!!

 

anyway, all for now, I will keep you updated...also going to add beliefs and inspirational things here too.
