How are you feeling right now?

In scrolling through the daily prompts, I see the question, “How are you feeling right now?”. Interesting question that often changes depending on the day.

Right now, I’m feeling like I’m starting to get a cold but hoping it’s just sinus related. I’m also tired because my 2 of my 3 cats decided to play WWE on our bed this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. Aside from that, I’m feeling good physically and mentally at the moment.

My daughter went to the doctor yesterday just for a check up and was told that melatonin was not good for long term use. That was news to me as I take it every night because I do have problems falling asleep. So does my daughter. The doctor suggested take magnesium glycinate instead. Well, with a quick order from Amazon, I started taking two capsules last night and I’m feeling good. Not really tired too much despite not sleeping in. I’ve also been taking Lexapro to help with anxiety related things.

Besides taking medicine, I’m slowly knocking things off my to do list that I’ve put off way too long. The list is long but as I cross things off, it does help me be more positive about things.

I do look back and wish I addressed my anxiety sooner. I’ve been feeling down for a long time and it’s been a while since I’ve felt good. Here’s to medicine and more positive thoughts.
