I got a comment on Monday’s post stating that the reader thought I was being irresponsible in regard to going off my medication. She also stated that “The episode you had in the car while returning home from the trip was understandable but not everyone would have melted down quite so bad. It would have [...]

I’m taking myself off of antidepressants. I’ve started weaning myself off the Z0loft already. I was taking 150mg and dropped it down to 100mg. I’ve taken 100mg for two weeks and now I’m going to drop it to 50mg for the next two weeks and then quit. I’m not sure what to do about the [...]

So, how ’bout a post that’s not about my kids? GAH, could I be anymore boring? (Said in my best Chandler Bing voice, of course.) Let’s talk about Teh Crazy. I talked to my OB on Monday about how ANGRY I’ve been lately and agreed that something was wonky since I’m on the Z0loft. I’m [...]

So, it seems that once again I’m not coping well with the postpartum crap. I really thought it was going to be ok this time, but it’s not. My temper is always right there under the surface. Any tiny infraction on Maddie’s part and I’m all over her. I’m snappy and pissy and generally filled [...]

As I recently twittered, today was one of those days when I repeatedly wondered if there was an age cut-off for dropping your baby off at the fire department. Maddie was a terrible listener and I grouchy as hell. It was a combination of nuclear holocaust proportions. Over the last month or so, I’ve noticed [...]

Last week I met with the nurse at my OB/Gyn’s office to talk about The Crazy and future pregnancies. During our discussion, she asked about my PCOS and whether or not it had resolved with my massive weight-loss. I explained that I thought it had and she arranged for a blood draw to check my [...]

I was going to post pictures of the delightful “hamburgers” I made for Father’s Day using a Bakerella recipe. However, my camera is ALL THE WAY in my room and I’m ALL THE WAY in the living room. I think we can all agree that’s simply too much effort on my part. You will have [...]

I’m still alive. Just a little apathetic. I’m not sure how to explain it other than I don’t really give a damn about anything these days. I’m just sort of “meh.” It’s only been a week since my dr upped my z@loft dosage, so it’s too soon for it to be working. Another week or [...]

I went to the doctor today. She adjusted my z@oloft dosage and drew blood to test for other deficiencies. She’s also checking my thyroid and cholesterol just for kicks. But the big news is that the nurse was able to use the normal blood pressure cuff on me instead of the fatty cuff. I almost [...]

I got some new supplements a couple of weeks ago. A multivitamin and some iron, to be exact. After a week of taking them, I felt remarkably better. I’m pretty sure it was the iron that made the most difference, since I’m anemic, but, I digress. I had a few days of feeling great and [...]
