sg13 was mostly good. i spent some time wandering around not really knowing what to do and feeling kind of uncomfortable, and i spent some time being busy and feeling useful, and i spent a small amount of time actually interacting with other people. wish i could shift the balance more towards that last, but it's a slow process, eh. wish that A had been able to have a better time. tried to snowboard again, oh the pain. so much pain. don't think it's really worth it for me to pursue, since it would take more investment in time and energy than i'm probably able to give it. i'll just stick with being a sucky skier for now. less pain that way. sunday night was, um, off the hook, or something. yeah. the pictures pretty much tell the story, heh.
been pretty much taking it easy for the past week, except i went out on thursday night, kinda overdid the monkey and didn't get enough sleep and have been fighting off a bug since then. tried to go to pool on friday night but i was just wiped out and grumpy, blah. helped move addison on saturday after sleeping for like 14 hrs. (not anywhere near my record i set on monday night when i slept 20 hrs, yar!) really wanted to go to shelley's 80s party but i just didn't have the physical or emotional energy for it. needed to stay in and rest and didn't really feel like i could handle being around a whole lot of people. oh well. : ( everyone else seemed to have fun for me though. the prom pictures look fab! (but i haven't heard yet if my special friend flashed shelley for me as requested...)
lots of sleep over the weekend left me feeling better, and i went climbing last night and did not too bad, but i got home late and then stayed up a bit past my bedtime finishing up my sg13 photos and starting that upload, and today i was feeling under attack again. skipped the gym tonight and was gonna clean up my apartment, but of course i ended up just watching television all evening. go me.
my mice continue to mock me. they knock down the doors of the little traps, but they don't go inside. damn them! damn them to mousie hell! i guess i'll have to get out the snappy traps. bah.
in brain weather, things seem to be settling down alright. the anxiety has subsided, yay. feeling generally stable and positive. teethgrinding hasn't gone away entirely, but it's less. still having some trouble with mental focus, and i'm more impatient and sometimes have difficulty getting my thoughts to coalesce... i expect this will get better.
went back for another followup dr appt today and took the opportunity to talk birth control. i was contemplating the possibility of an iud, but although i was reticent to try hormonal contraceptives again anytime soon after my nightmare experience with the patch, i decided to give nuvaring a go. side effects are supposedly very minimal and good moodwise, and it's super duper convenient, so i figure i ought to see if it'll work. would be nice...
various things swimming around in my mind about work and frustration and pressure and dissatisfaction with my living situation. i feel like i should sit down and give them their due and try to form them into more coherent thoughts, but of course i am avoiding that. internet, tv, glass of port. soon, my precious, soon. really i swear.
bed now.

Man, i've got the tooth grinding thing going on too. This didn't happen last time I was on it...most of these side effects didn't actually. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with it being the generic form this time, or if my body chemistry is just different.

Date: 2004-02-04 07:53 pm (UTC)From:The only way a generic might be different is that, in many cases, a slow-release version of a drug is available in the branded form, whereas it's not in the generic. That's because, while the drug's patent has expired, the slow-release technology's hasn't. Then again, it depends entirely on what "it" is.
As far as dealing with the grinding: some people find that taking a magnesium supplement every day helps. I never tried that. Then again, I've been grinding my teeth pretty much continuously since I was a wee tot, so the little bit of extra wasn't all that noticeable.
On the scatterbrained-ness: I had a lot of that, and mostly just learned to deal with it. IIRC, keeping my diet correctly balanced became more important, probably because it was due at least in part to the fact that I was eating less.
Lila: I have some comments on the ring, but I'll avoid posting them since they start getting into the realm of TMI. In short, though: I've heard nothing but great reviews, definitely worth a try.
