How are you feeling?

I got an email from Lunesta telling me how to take it properly. I guess you take it, go straight to bed. I've been taking it and waiting a bit. So I took it at 7:30pm (I was tired!) and by 11:30pm I was wide awake. Maybe it's the caffeine mainlined into my body that keeps the sleeping pills from working right. All I know is my mouth tastes like an ashtray. The email said, and I quote:

"Some people who take LUNESTA experience an unpleasant taste. Here are some things that people have tried to eliminate the taste. These suggestions have not been studied, but they may work for you:

Drink a full glass of water with LUNESTA
Swallow pill immediately
Take pill whole. Do not chew or crush the pill
After waking up, drink something acidic like orange juice
Brush teeth and tongue
Use gum or mouthwash"

Only some people?? Everywhere I've read people say they have the same side effect. Lovely bit of PR work, there. I guess I'll have to get some orange juice. Does Mountain Dew count as 'something acidic?' :) It's got citric acid in it.

I've reached the 'Christmas burnout' point. I spend all November and most of December in a cheery mood, but come the week of Christmas and I just want the ****er to be over with.

My dad, sister, and I are going to make rice crispy treats tomorrow. I've never made them before. Wish me luck! :)

I'm feeling super nervous. I'm at the airport right now flying to Newfoundland to visit family for the holidays, I haven't seen my parents in over a year. The last time I saw them I ran off to live in the wilderness for quite a while without telling them, not sure how this will go. Wish me luck!

Be prepared for lots of questions and maybe even some scalding! But I hope it goes well for you, mate. :)

Im annoyed with my fluctuating confidence.Yesterday I had such a burst of confidence but it was just like a sugar high,ive long since crashed and my confidence is questionable. It could have something to do with the girl I really like getting a boyfriend but im not sure:confused:

I have this ulcer on the inside of my mouth that is destroying my life. It's ridiculously painful. ::(:

I don't think this is helping! That sucks when that happens, mate.

Yes, It's hot here so I've been knocking of some beer. I have 'Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' to watch, I havent seen it yet and I want to watch it before the US version comes out, though beer + subtitles may not be a good combo

Ooh, it's a good movie. Have you read the books, though? I think it's easier to understand if you have.

My sister made me feel a little bit stupid today. She hurt my feelings because I challenged her about her generalized anxiety. I wont go into it, it doesnt really matter I guess. Just tired now... drained... a little sad.

Hope everyone here is good.

^You're not stupid, sometimes people hurt others who are trying to help as they take it as a personal weakness. Hope you feel better :)

Thank you Srijita I appreciate that :)
Yes I think you are right... my sister is very proud. She is a little hard to deal with sometimes.

I feel empty when night comes around. I used to cry myself to sleep but now I just don't care anymore and can't really feel anything. I'm also tired, lately I haven't been able to fall asleep til 6 am. 2 more hours then I might be able sleep.

Like you said, she's maybe too proud to admit she has cracks in her armour. If she opened her argument up with a defensive statement, that means she doesn't have much in terms of rational discussion. That's not your issue, but I can understand it would make you feel kind of bad, though.

I am good, thank you, but more importantly I hope you get better.

Awesome!

I feel alright. Went out to a club. Tried to push through my anxieties and flirt with girls but boy, that's very difficult. I still had fun, though.

It's 12:51am in Australia so it's officially Christmas Day here. I want to wish everyone on SPW a fantastic Christmas and I hope you all enjoy your day. :)
