Functioning Better

I don't think I'm less sleep this week than last, but I am functioning better. It's more that I have the ability to push myself to keep going. I'd like to think that someday I won't have to push myself, but I must admit that not calling the sleep doctor isn't helping. I don't have much hope, though. I'm afraid I'll just "need" to try more medications that will only provide awful side effects. I understand the need to rule out various options. I can't afford to function any less.

Wednesday was actually a pretty good day. Yesterday wasn't bad, either, although both days I felt incredibly anxious and irritable mid-morning. It was the type of anxiety that's so thick, it's obviously there, but there doesn't seem to be any cause other than everything. That reads like nonsense, but it's as close as I can come. Suffice it to say, it's horrible.

The dreams were for several days, but as of last night they're back. A bit of stress before sleep was likely the cause.
