Can't sleep

Today I wasn't feeling well at all.  My stomach was bothering me all day and I had been up all night.  I've gotten bad about not taking all my medications every day.  One of my medications, Keppra, has some really bad side effects if I don't take my Lexapro.  The Keppra causes depression, but it also causes me to be very hostile and short-tempered.  I know I've got to start taking it again because I've been feeling somewhat down, but also very short-tempered.  I've been out of work and because of that I keep very strange hours.  There are times that I will stay up all night and lack of sleep isn't good for me either.  Hopefully I willstart to get tired and fall asleep and tomorrow will be a better day!!  I need to start exercising again because when I started a few months ago, I started to feel better and I was able to go to sleep at a better time.  It gets me aggravated all of the effects that my medical condition and my medicine have on me.  I have a very hard time losing weight and I've gained quite a bit because of when I was on Disability.  I wasn't able to drive, so all I did was sit at home except on the weekends when I would visit with my family.  Because of that my metabolism slowed way down, so I know that that also is making hard to lose weight.  I may also have a thyroid issue.  That's something that I need to get to the doctor about, and hopefully I will soon.  Hopefully I will start to get tired and fall asleep and tomorrow will be a better day!

I hope today was a better day for you.  I understand the need to exercise...it definitely helps me.  I find that the time I spend exercising helps improve my mood and gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Hope today is filled with sunshine and tonight is filled with restful sleep!

Sunday was a little better for me.  I got to bed at a better time and had to get up early to babysit my nephew.  I'm still tired and will definitely try to get to sleep earlier tonight.  I also started to take my medication again, so that is helping my mood!!  Tommorow I am truly going to try and work out.  I would tonight, but my husband and I are going to my parents for dinner right after he gets home from work.  Today was filled with sunshine since I got to see my little nephew.  He's 18 months old and a true cutey!!
