tone my body, again (read all 7 entries…)

I keep losing interest in this goal. With the way my memory has been behaving, it’s hard to think about anything other than the fact that I can’t think. So, why do I want to waste the few working brain cells I have on keeping track of exercises and repetions?

It’s ironic that exercise is supposed to increase your brain function.

Sharpen my memory (read all 3 entries…)

Untitled 15 months ago

My concentration levels seem to be waning. My drug levels are a little low, but I think that’s because I missed a dose a day or two before the test. I’ve also been stressed-out about making sure that I meet all of the necessary requirements to secure the job I’m trying to get, which means that I haven’t been getting very much rest.

I don’t have an appointment to go back to the neurology clinic until November. I’ve learned that talking to my general practioner about this only yields blood tests and MRIs because she doesn’t know what else to do. Once she gets the results, she tells me that my blood levels are good and my MRI isn’t showing anything new. I understand that she doesn’t want to mess with my meds, but I sometimes wish she would. It’s so hard to get into the neuro clinic and I feel like i have the brain of a three-thousand year-old woman. A change of meds would be a nice start.

For now, I’ll have to stick to list-making to keep myself on task. This isn’t how I like to do things, but it may be the only way to cope for now.

overcome my depression. (read all 6 entries…)

Progress! 16 months ago

My therapist resigned her position at the clinic, but said she won’t be referring me to anyone else. Evidently, I have completed enough homework to keep myself from spiralling into pits of despair whenever I get depressed. Yay for progress!
