I'm happy with my life. I'm excited about my classes and maybe-flirting with a cute boy and in a fandom I love and actually getting along okay with my family. My second family of old friends are actually more available than usual, and I feel like I can ask to play with them. My roommates are cooperative and adorable in a baby-kittens way. I'm eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.

...why, exactly, I'm still having trouble getting out of bed and tired all the time and all the rest of it, I don't know and would like to find out. Presumably it means I need different meds, because this is depression even though there is no cause for depression. Or it might be the fibromyalgia really getting a grip; I have a lot more aches and pains than I used to. But I would like it to stop, whatever it is.



IN OTHER NEWS: I was trying to downsize my mother's applesauce recipe to be A) makeable in individual portions B) within a half-hour space C) by small children with supervision, for my Preschool Methods class. Originally, I bought six apples for experimenting. This morning, in the depths of despair, I returned to the grocery store and bought two dozen. I promptly discovered what I had been doing wrong and now have twenty-two apples.

...There will be a lot of apple-eating in my future. I'm also considering giving apples to my teachers and hoping they're amused, or something, because LOTS OF APPLES. ^_^

Maybe try vitamin D supplements? I was a zombie for months, until my doctor tested my blood and found the vitamin D levels low. You want the kind that's liquid inside a gel cap, and 1-2000 mgs/day.

Apples are yum.

I do hope the depression is figured out and fixed. But I wated to say what a good teacher you are/will be. That sort of thought and preperation shows real interest and caring and you'll be up for teacher of the year/month/school/district in no time!

And yay apples!

Back when I had that parasite *shudders* I was tired all the time, cold all the time, got sick easily, and started having joint aches. Thankfully, this doesn't sound like that. But I'm so unfamiliar with Celiac/Crohn's meds that I have no idea what it sounds like. :(

Wish I could be more helpful.

it's great to read that you feel so positively about all that stuff. :)

re the tiredness/depression: i'd recommend extra vit D and also zinc/magnesium. both of those are often deficient. and often not absorbed in the amounts stated on supplement bottles. iykwim.

lol apples for the teachers!

I am curious about this recipe. I'm thinking more about making my own things, from scratch and this sounds like something that should be easier than my fears tell me it is. :D

I'm glad that things are generally aces for you, but yes, it sounds like either the fibro or the depression is working on you still. :( I'm sorry.

It could be the fibro. Or it could just be something like slight anemia, combined with the autumn gloom. The seasons have a huge effect on how much sleep I need. But either way, I do hope it gets better soon! *squish*

(In other news, I was commentlurking and will now totally try out that applesauce recipe \o/.)
