The Dam Opens
After a month from Hell, it looks as though the dam has finally broken open. I'm writing again.
So far, I've done 2.5k words on a new story with the working (sucky) title of Angel/Demon, plus about 1.5k words on The Fluffy's Tail, a fairy tale for a project my writing group is putting together in honor of a member's newborn daughter.
Under the circumstances, that's pretty impressive.
Word of advice: do *not* take Trileptal for depression if you are already taking an SSRI antidepressant or you have ever had a head injury or brain inflammation. My psychiatrist (who I will *never* go near again) neglected to tell me this when she trialed me on Trileptal. She waited until *after* I had stopped taking it because I was so dizzy and weak I was walking around with my hands out like a tightrope walker to keep from falling over. The improvement when I stopped was overnight - within 36 hours of my last dose I was back to within 80% of normal *and* the depression lifted.
It's nice to be enjoying life again.
