I don't talk about my nieces & nephew much, but I keep up/w 'em on farcebook.

This is my nephew, my sister Terry's, uh, kid. He's 30 now, maybe 31. He was almost 6' tall when he was 12. We used to wrestle when he was that age - I was 15 or 16. He could pin me, but I could dance circles around him & smack him in the head a lot before he could catch me. He stopped wrestling w/girls after he & his sister were playing one time & he broke both her wrists - he went to body slam her & she put her arms out w/her palms up and he broke both her wrists when he landed on her. Not on purpose, but just because he was so freaking huge & she was not. His father was half black, half Hawaiian. Tina & Dain both got beautiful skin & their eyes from their dad - he was a lot darker than they are, though.

Dain used to be a good looking kid. Now he's kind of got that lost man-boy look.




I don't think the Lexapro is having much effect on me, but I took 20mg last night just to see if I noticed a difference. I've been so fucking sleepy all day, all I can think about is my bed and how much I didn't want to get out of it this morning. Groggy, groggy day. Spent it thinking about Egyptian cotton sheets with a high thread-count. Soft pillows, cool pillow case against my cheek. Cool sheets at the foot of the bed, warm dog against the back of my calves. Mmmm.

My friend Beth takes Lexapro and I can notice when she doesn't take it. It seems to make her hyper though. A good two week daily dose will tell you how it will really act on you. Everything else is just the initial reaction. Don't judge that too much. Though zombie like state...I had that with one med. Not good. Tell your doc.

It's been weird. The 10mg daily dose is no longer enforcing nap-time on me... but I feel emotionally disconnected from everything. I normally have kind of flat emotional responses, which I'm used to (and which is why I talked to the doc about an antidepressant in the first place - I started having uncontrollable emotional responses) but now I don't even get any glee from intentionally pissing people off. :P

Hmm, I don't remember if you had depression or bi-polar. If it's bi-polar then you probably need a mood stabilizer. It helps with the side effects of the antidepressant.

No, it's pretty straight forward depression. I started having freak-outs at work, though. All the paperwork on Lexapro says it's for general anxiety disorder & depression.

I'm definitely not anxious anymore, lol.
