I believe that the Wellbutrin is starting to work a bit. I've had two decent nights sleep in a row now. The stuff does seem to spawn some odd dreams but I am otherwise finally getting some real sleep. Just getting some proper rest makes a world of difference with depression.
It becomes a vicious cycle. The depression saps you of energy and makes you feel very tired but it also interferes with your ability to get restful sleep. All you feel like doing is sleeping but you're unable to do so properly. It feeds upon itself and makes the condition worse. One of the jobs of the AD drugs is to break that cycle and allow you to rest.
I am feeling much better this morning after a good sleep. Not great yet, but better and I'll take that for now. After I've had my morning coffee I'm going to take the bent out for a ride. Exercise is also a good way to increase energy and push back the depression symptoms. I bought groceries yesterday but as usual I forgot a couple of things so that gives me an objective for my ride and helps with the motivation.
I also want to see if I can find the clock mechanism and some cork board for my current knitting project. I'm hoping I can finish the knitted clock for Mom before I lave back out. I got a decent amount of the knitting done on it yesterday, maybe a little over a quarter of the way through it. I also need to raid Mom's stash of button to select ones to use on the face of the clock to mark the hours.
I'm eventually going to make a knitted clock for myself and am thinking of using beer bottle caps to mark the hours instead of buttons.
For now though I am just going to enjoy my morning coffee.
