What did you do in the garden today?

[igorsMistress]

Took half a new anxiety pill this morning and now I can't tell if I'm sleepy because I was startled awake at 4am and then started my day, or if it's the pill. My limbs feel like noodles and concentration, pfffft.
Noise is making me edgy today, so I escaped to the greenhouse while dh did the dishes.
Rattling plastic wasn't helping, but I managed to finish the irrigation system in there and ripped out the stunted greenbean plants and replaced them with 3 tomato plants.
Is that a win?

That’s a win. Can you take the new pill at night if it makes you sleepy?

it's an anxiety flare up drug, I take it when an episode is building to try to stop it.
Made me anxious just to try it, and anxious sitting her trying to stay awake. I feel it's a no -win.

I understand. Finding the right thing can be so hard, especially when the side effects can be difficult as well. Maybe a nap will help.

Been there. Took me years and a dozen different meds to find the right one.

Pried myself off the couch and while DH scooped the stalls, I sprayed the boys with fly spray, hung their outdoor feeding station, and watered the hoophouse. Now I'm back in tired again. I don't nap, but thank you for the suggestion. They've always left me worse off than when I just fight through it.
Noticed one of the house numbers has fallen off. Repairing that later will be another excuse to wander outside for just a little. So hot, so humid, pollen laden.

Right?? I can't be SLOW, and work around livestock. It's not on the label, but glory a ticked off bull or alpaca can MOVE.

I have managed to stay off those for most of my life, but these last few years have made it clear I need to speak with my doc and get on one. Most of my family is on one form or another and it takes so very long to find on that both works and lets them function day to day, I just keep putting it off.

I don’t take anything for anxiety any more, with the allergies/asthma and high blood pressure it was just too much. Plus I was taking 4 different meds for chronic hives. Meditation has helped tremendously. It wasn’t instant, but Zen meditation helps in my case. Just stare at a blank wall twice a day. It was harder to start than a pill, but I’m happy I gave it a try.

We're all just a train wreck, aren't we? LOL
Good thing gardening is such a predictable, reliable, timeless, rewarding pastime to take our minds off things. :::trying to keep a straight face:::
