Sheep enclosed in a pasture. A quaint wooden bridge connecting the rooms to the smoke curling out of the chimney Beekeeper Inn. Being embraced by this pastoral panorama, I realized racing thoughts were likely jump started by the Prozac. I reassured myself that this was a mind-body system adaptation to a biochemical changing of the guard. However, there were some ongoing side effects.
Many people when depressed have difficulty getting up in the morning.
Sometimes this is due to staying up late at night or an inability to sleep through the night. I would get up at six or seven am and be at my desk writing two minutes later. I never understood why people needed coffee as a catalyst. Of course, anxiety- propelled fuel would burn off pretty fast and I might feel sleepy or exhausted before the morning was out. With the Prozac, however, my sleep cycle was turned upside down.
