Poetry camp today was awesome. I read a particularly emotional poem that resulted in me clutching my stomach because it was beginning to hurt from emotional upset. It didn't hurt too much but it was more of a sad stomach sensation than I had felt in months. It was 30% there. Now dealing with muscle cramps all over my body.

Good for you E!
You know that reading poetry outloud is one of the best things to create Neuroplasticity...!

Really? I'm going to be doing it almost everyday for 3 weeks. It's really interesting.  |

Are you going to be writing poetry too?

Petu, yes, I am! Already have been. This is what it is for right now...the sunny side of anhedonia.I have Vitamin Water...woohoo! It's not helping with the cramps and spasms really, and I'm beginning to think it could be WD related. Ouch, this is painful. It went away after about 4 days once. |

Cancelled the EEG for today because I couldn't stay awake long enough. I needed my sleep. Everytime I'd wake up, I'd end up falling back asleep in 3 seconds. Anywho, more poetry camp today. I wonder what other emotions may or may not come up. I may be surprised.

Feeling slowed down, almost skipped breaths now.....and slight dizziness upon standing. Not very good, I think I'm overly dehydrated.

Uggh, I am in pain, my muscles keep cramping and I feel kinda weak.  I rememer this happening in a bad wave, plus I felt slightly dizzy upon standing today and nauseous. It went away after eating. |

I also feel worse when I get dehydrated, so I try and keep water by me all the time. Eating small, regular healthy meals is supposed to be good, to keep the blood sugar levels up, especially first thing in the morning. But I find this difficult, I never feel like eating in the morning, just the thought makes me nauseous, but when I do manage to eat something, I always start to feel better.
Are you going to post some of your poetry?

I will post the poetry once I feel that it is good enough for the internet. Got some more poems to write, LOL! I have been drinking a lot of water lately as well. I woke up this morning at like 1 forgetting who I was, having thoughts about PTSD for some reason [must have been dreaming], and feeling like if I hadn't woken up, I would have died, according to my brain. Scary things!

Realizing that I've been anhedonic since MARCH [March 28th, to be exact] is harsh. Almost 5 months. And of those 5 months, two [well, almost 3] have been off of meds. Do I go with Licorice Root or do I just wait and see? I do not know what to do at this point. All I know is I'm sick of it.

I really do not have much to post. That's a good thing, I suppose. I'm still anhedonic, but there's really nothing to post. I'm still listening to music, trying to relax as much as possible. Just a mini update. In other news, I'm missing poetry camp already. At least I go back to it on Tuesday, . |

Here is a happy update: I walked up to my mom's job with no DR for the first time in a while. My mind WANTS to DR but it doesn't. It is very strange but it is a good moment for me. Still having anhedonia but this was a big great moment for me today.

Happy for you.

If I could get this anhedonia to go, it would be AMAZING. But, slow progress, I guess. |
