Rest of the week since I saw psychologist slid slowly downhill, last 48 hours descended into nearly twice my usual amount of sleep. I held back everything in my head that would get in the way of blurting exactly what sprung in my mind to say, and the exhaustion since then has felt like my brain is full of everything sticky. Like when you make popcorn balls and what's left on your hands is so sticky it takes a whole minute to wash it all off. That's my brain all day today. Waking up this morning was as rough as having a real hangover.
Made myself get up after a nap on the couch and pull a 30 minute walk, went ok. Got dishes done, homemade spaghetti sauce made, pretty sure that's about it the rest of the day. Going to try to stay awake. 9 hour nights and 2-3 hours naps is way off my bio rhythm and it's starting to feel very druggy.
I've got weekly visits scheduled out this month, hope I don't do this every week.

Had one of my sudden 'confusion' headaches where I'm very cranky and trying to understand the what and why of a minor communication blip between me and Scott, and it dawned on me that might have been caused by what I call a slide-by, a me bumping out at the wrong time and generally just in the way. This is something Scott and I have been through many times, and it doesn't stop or ease up until another me firmly yanks it back and takes over. So I started looking up headaches and dissociative disorder, ran right into transition headaches exactly describing what I'd just felt.
And bing, the worst of the headache is gone already.
