Side Effects Suck by naomi

Side Effects Suck

I feel awful. Quetiapine side effects are well and truly kicking my bum (or at least that's what I'm assuming it is since I increased the dose last night, even though it's still a baby dose). Also since I had to stop taking my sleeping meds because of going on quetiapine, I'm not sleeping much at all which doesn't help anything, and the bags under my eyes are approaching family shop sized.

I just don't know what to do with myself. I feel too ill to do anything much at all but I'm also awake so I don't know what I'm meant to do with my time. I've been trying to write blogs and have written a bit but I'm not sure it's any good. I tried to crochet a bit but I can't get into it and just feel rubbish and useless and can't imagine anyone buying any of it so I don't really know what I'm doing or why.

I imagine everyone's getting pretty bored of this now because I certainly am. I just feel like I'm wasting time but I can hardly remember doing anything differently. My head's in a crappy place but thankfully I'm too spaced to be too bothered by any of it.

Your eyes tell your story. Maybe they can change the medicine so the side effects won't be so bad. :-(

After the blue pirod of Picasso he painted pink.
The colour of a new bird. Try to find what`s realy interest you and go for it.
Great shot that tells you story.

Don't want to give you any rotten advice but I hope you manage to get outside every day, even for a minute. Hang in there.

Sending you lots of hugs Naomi. How about reading a book - something light and easy going and magical maybe so your mind can drift off to someplace new.

You have so much talent Naomi - your writing and your photos are so creative and beautifully composed. Hoping that all goes well for you.

I'm sending over The Sandman, told him off for forgetting to visit you the last days.. ;-) Wish it was that easy. Hope you sleep a bit tonight.

You poor thing... I wish I would help you!! Powerful image.

Powerful image that does convey some of what your narrative explained. Hoping you have some ease to the pain soon.

totally agree with Taffy

Your photography is powerful, Naomi. Wishing you a good night's rest, hang in there.

Taffy and Susan both used the word powerful and I can't think of a more descriptive word. You really do do great work Naomi. Still praying for you.

@kali66 my eyes seem to be bearing the brint of my exhaustion, they're so sore :/
@thelene unfortunately they don't really review it because services are so stretched... and these are new ones. Hopefully the side effects will begin to wear off.
@halkia I try to most days, managed to get out today! Yesterday it wasn't possible - to go outside I have to go down two flights of stairs because I live in a flat and yesterday I could hardly stand.
@stephanies I've actually just started reading a fiction book for the first time in years. I struggle to read due to my depression, but I've found that putting it on my phone and reading it to send me to sleep is working really well!
@purdey Thank you do much for all your kind words, it means a lot Xxx
@overalvandaan I had to google the sandman! I got a little more sleep last night so I think your telling off must have worked!
@pyrrhula @juliedduncan @gmonty @la_photographic @hellie @kwind @taffy @hjbenson @slash @stray_shooter Thank you all so much - both for validating the communication of the image, and all of your kind words Xxx

I think you have a great talent for photography and writing. Many of your photos tell a story and your comments about what you are feeling are very well written, descriptive and emotive... I wish you peace and joy, Naomi.
