As much as I’ve always hated being sick, I’ve found that since I started taking Lexapro I hate it even more.

Since I started taking it, I’ve been in a much better mood overall, of course. I don’t fall into my depressive, mopey states nearly as often and when I do it’s much easier to snap out of them.

That is, unless I’m sick.

It’s always been that when I’m sick I tend to get really grumpy and generally irritable, and in the past getting sick has even sparked some of my depressions. It’s just not fun; I’m uncomfortable, homebound, exhausted and just generally blah.

And, apparently, even Lexapro can’t help that much when I’m sick.

I missed two days of work last week and today is day two that I’ve missed this week. I check in every hour or so and my boss is very understanding, but it stresses me out not being there and having control or at least knowledge of what’s going on with my team.

I’m trying to stay positive and not let myself succumb, I’m telling myself that it’s just that I’m sick and stuck in the house getting stir crazy.

Does anyone else get like this when they’re sick? :\

On a lighter note: Thank goodness I have Derek. He made pasta for me for lunch and he keeps letting me sleep in even though it means missing lunch with him before he leaves for work. He even makes tea for me when he gets home from work, even though it’s after midnight and he’s tired. I have no idea what I’d do without him…

Anyway… Off to cook some rice, drink some tea and veg out in front of a Degrassi marathon (guilty pleasure woo).
