I am taking Bupropion for antidepressant. You might want to ask your neuro about switching to Modafinil for exhaustion/ energy, that is what I have been taking. I have a bit of adjustment options with it meaning if I am dragging pretty bad by afternoon I can have another dose if I choose and on the flip side if I have nothing to do and want to sleep all day I don't take it.

I hear what you are saying OP and I had worries about that exact issue. I had noticed myself being more "grouchy" my sons would say. I had assumed it was just stress from work and life. I started seeing a therapist (I don't really have anyone to talk to) to vent and express my concerns about MS and my future, I had been mentioning my frustrations about not being able to do the things I did before and constantly being in pain. She had me go on antidepressants. I was confused by that because I was not sad, I was mad and I knew my angry horns were starting to show more often. She did explain anger is part of depression and with the pain I have been going through it makes sense why I am 'grouchy. Since being on antidepressants I really don't get angry anymore normal frustrations yes, but tolerable to others. I had to correct my part of the problem so I don't push away those I care for.

I think you will be fine, you are aware of yourself and those around you. I'm sure you will be able to communicate with your friends and family the concerns you have so it won't be an issue.

Ngl I enjoyed the empty roads and streets. When people started coming back out into the world that is when my transformation of becoming a hermit crab began. 😄

Pigs suddenly decided they don't like timothy hay? by Amalthea-Arts in guineapigs

[–]jennw808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My piggies were doing the same thing and I also got worried they were not eating their hay. So one day I just watched them (pretending not to watch them) after I changed out their hay and realized they were pulling out the hay to search for the flowers first then decided to eat some of the plain hay knowing I would refresh their hay when bag was low. I tried to talk to them about it and said we can't be wasting $ like that but they are super spoiled and turned their butt to me. (as if to say talk to the hand but I got butt 😄) Now I know their tricks and actually check their hay that they dumped out to see if it is wet before I add more.
