It's been crazy lately both in my head and in real life. One thing I am discovering more and more (and more and more painfully) is that I do not suffer the unexpected or uncertain well.
Which is bad when purchasing a home, since the entire process is riddled with uncertainty. Also when switching jobs because, at least in my ongoing experience, getting used to a new work environment brings one up against a good measure of both. And I am going through the two aformentioned at the same time.
How is this all affecting my mental health? Well, either the medicine's effect is dropping off, or the irritation, short temper, anxiety and pervasive gloom are all normal emotional responses to periods of great change. It's hard not to jump to the fear that the medicine has stopped working. Harder still to ride out the big changes and see if the meds "start working" after they are done. Getting used to having emotions is hard after not having them for a long time.
This video has been helping. I can't say why, I can't say how, but it does.
