On a somewhat related note.
Sometimes I feel fine, and I'm able to work and go about my normal activities. But sometimes I feel like my brain is like sludge or quicksand. It feels as if those brain impulses just aren't zipping through my brain as they should. I feel thick and lethargic and everything is a huge effort.
I don't see any environmental factors that would account for this. It's not that I sleep less, maybe a bit more but as a result, not a cause. My diet is not really different. And the level of stress in my life doesn't seem to relate to it. At least not in a way I can see.
It's frustrating because when I feel well, I can do all the things I struggle to do when I'm not feeling well. The things that are a huge effort for me at one time, are not at all difficult several weeks later. I feel so lazy and irresponsible at those times.
I wonder if this is some medication side effect, since I don't remember having it before medication. But I never really change my dose on anything, so I wonder how it can be?
It's probably all in my mind, but it is frustrating.
