08 May 2017 - Le Début d'la Fin
Afternoon. Eventually, I'll get back on track for posting daily. Eventually.
Day 74 with escitalopram.
Mood: 5.5.
Monday was the beginning of finals week for me, and I mercifully had only one exam to start with. Developmental biology. It was challenging, sure, but not as hard as I was expecting.
The mood boost I'd noted from lower levels of Lexapro in my system continued, though it was not as pronounced as it had been the first couple of days.
I realized Monday that I had some confidence that my mental health won't sharply and rapidly decline once I'm in Scotland, and with that new revelation, unfettered excitement for the trip began setting in. I'm going to Scotland, I'm actually going to Scotland. It's happening, and it's happening in a week. Just a week!
This blossoming excitement ate into some time that should have been devoted to studying for my exam, but I'm at a point where I don't fault myself for not doing what needs to be done if I'm caring for my mental health. There were lists to be made, things to be planned! I learned that the Scottish National Museum has free admission, and since it's a natural history kind of institution, I definitely want to go. The national library is down the street and around the corner from the museum as well, which I find super rad.
I'm honestly not sure what else of note happened Monday. My memory is kinda shot, after trying to remember so many things for so many courses.
Until the next post!
