Hey … What Happened To JUNE!

Hi Everyone, Randy May here …

This is the first post I have been able to get out of my head and into my blog since Ticklish Thursday, May 31st.! There are a number of reasons for this and I don’t need to go into great detail about them, but just know this … challenges arise and we can either cower and fall or we can regroup, focus our senses, and crawl, if necessary, over the Brick Wall that became such a big challenge.

I have had a chemical imbalance in my brain for years and have been taking a small dose of a medication each day since 1989 to help with that imbalance. Now, I’m one of those people that absolutely hates to be a slave to a medicine bottle, do you know what I mean? Just the thought of any form of dependency drives me up the wall!

So, here is my insanity! I go along just fine, feeling great and on top of the world, so much in fact that I start questioning myself each morning when I take my vitamins and my one little pill for depression. First, I just think about taking that pill every day, then I start thinking about how I have to spend my own money to refill the prescription each month. Back in 1989 when I started on this med, there was no generic choice and I would spend $90+ per month for the prescription. Today, with the generic, it costs me less than $10, but oh no, that is still way too much for something that I probably don’t need! You see where I’m going with this … I start screwing with myself thinking, maybe you can get along just fine if you cut your dosage down, so all of a sudden, I’m taking the med every other day instead of daily. Within about 2 months, I’ve decided that I don’t need to refill that bottle at all, and that is that! I feel great without the med and I’m saving like 10 bucks a month … whoopee! Now Prozac is a drug that only works when it has had some time to built up a level in your blood that becomes beneficial. It also takes about the same amount of time lowering the level until the benefits are gone. In my case, between 2-3 weeks. So, given the cut back for about 8 weeks, then complete abstinence for another 2-3 weeks, and oops, I’m in the shiter again!

Somewhere around the last of May, my last post about The Morning Motivator, I found myself without any drive, no ambition and all I wanted to do was to eat and sleep. Excuses ran rampant and I even began feeling sorry for myself, can you imagine!

So, June 15th I refilled my scrip and by golly, here I am writing again! And like any good crazy man, I tell my self, I’m not going to do that, AGAIN! Yeah, right …

The one thing that puzzles me is this. I have still attended each and every session of TMM since my last post, which was Thursday, May 31st., yet I just couldn’t sit down and put together a post for a day … oh well, today is “Fitting Friday” and isn’t it just “fitting” that I’m writing again! There will be more, later, see you soon …
