My appt has been postponed

Great. I've finally come to terms with the idea of needing meds to keep me going and now that the dreaded appt day is here my appt has been postponed. Seems they had to spray the health center cos there's some virus going around and all of today's appts have been postponed until God knows when. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can be seen tomorrow because i won't be in the parish for a week as of Saturday. Just my luck.

Where are you going for a week?

It's too bad that your appt. was cancelled. You sound better though believe it or not. The pdoc will not put you on very high doses of mood stabilizing drugs if you have been living drug free until now. They always start at tiny doses in the beginning and that may be all you need.

Gosh how frustrating! Sounds like they may be open again soon.

Well maybe journaling would help? Hugs to you-hang in there.

Oh, I'm sorry! But better to go AFTER they spray for the virus, than BEFORE ; ) You can make it. Like May said, do you think journaling will help you make it through? Even posting here, you know we're here for you! ((hugs))

I'm going home :-) Need to spend some time with my family before they forget who I am. I am feeling better, BB and I expect the dosage to be pretty low. Hoping that really will be all I need. I heard that one person on campus had caught the virus so they're trying to make sure no one else does. It just sucks that it's affecting my appt. I think I really will do some journaling.

Bloody Ebola hyperbole! :@

I feel aggravated that you missed a much-needed appointment because of this c**p. Hope you can journal some more, I have been doing it non-stop since I bought an OAGB Journal 5 weeks ago at a convention in Birmingham. If I don't get it complete before I go to bed, I make sure it's done the following day before I go onto the day in hand.

I wanted to start a new journal after the meds cos I've done some amount of journaling before. I wanna see the contrast, you know? Need to buy one of those cool books and get a purple pen. I'm trying not to get too bummed about the postponement but... blah. I want to get this over with already. Get started, get adjusted, get accustomed to it.

That's a great attitude! And you do sound like you're feeling at minimum a little better! I love journaling. I've only done it online once - I have several journals at home. And better they spray for viruses BEFORE you visit! The last thing you need is to get sick! Good luck at your upcoming appointment!

    Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though.  I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

    Quick, before the evil MONday gets here!  Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That.  Sadly.  But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top.  I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
