I am having a hard time today. I wanted to write a nice post about how I don’t think the brain injuries affect me anymore, after nearly two years since the last one. I can do tasks that are complex without giving up or getting mad. I can read at night. I am having less headaches until I write papers at night. I can be up at night at all, and though I’m still sleeping 11-16 hours a day when I don’t set alarms (or sometimes if I do) i don’t usually need naps anymore. Or I can at least stay up and try to go to bed earlier instead.
But with the Invisalign, I can’t havs sugar all day. My nutritionist also wanted me to cut back in sugar. I miss my brain that didn’t like sugar. Also, not only am I spacing out at weird times, but I can’t tell if it’s my brain having problems or the PTSD or both. And I don’t know how well a doctor would be able to tell.
And when I have to hurry. I still just can’t. I don’t know how to explain it. But I definitely got hurt and so did my dog. I feel ashamed and bad.
And I keep having nightmares again. The prazosin helps. I am afraid of starting the Abilify.
Plus I wasn’t with my mom when she picked it up (she picks up my meds for me) and the pharmacist told her I might get suicidal thoughts and bad depression. So she told me uncomfortable things and I feel uncomfortable. I don’t know how to talk about it.
I was fed something I’m allergic to for dinner. Maybe that’s made me depressed. And being interrupted and not feeling important enough for my family. I don’t even know why I feel that way, because I don’t think it’s true.
