Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Thurs.7/12 - Today is not a good day...i don't feel well...but it is my own fault...for the last week I've woken up with a stress headache...i did today and it's still there...my day is disrupted by my husband being home...and tomorrow my son comes home from youth camp...I checked my BP and it's elevated...so I called to make an appt to see the dr but I got frustrated because they put me on hold...I was on hold for twenty minutes before I just hung up...maybe I'll try again later...of course, I need to start taking my meds...i stopped taking them about two weeks ago and now I'm back to not feeling well...anyway...I am just wasting away...I have millions of things to do...but I don't have any motivation or energy...the only thing I am looking forward to is my recovery meetings...UGH...I am just rambling again, like I always do...I think I'll go take a nap now and see if my headache will go away...talk to you later, DS.
Sometimes, just that little extra rest can help re-set your outlook. It works for me.
And times like this are when I like to emply my "one knotty problem at a time" approach to Too Much To Do. Tackle what you can, the most important (and/ or the toughest) thing, first. The rest usually falls into place, or is the kind of stuff that can wait until tomorrow.
Hugs, sweetie. OOX
Sending along wishes for a burst of energy and a clear mind----
Have you thought about sending an email to them? That way when they get the time they can call you back. It is less annoying to wait for a return call than to sit on hold.
Gentle hugs
I've done this only once, but one time I was totally unable to get through to make an appointment, so I drove to the doctor's office. Funny how I was helped right away when I was there in person.
I take medication for my fatigue and anemia and for the past few days, it's not working at all! I guess I can blame it on the heat which is at 108 right now and it's not even 5 yet. That's the hottest part of our day for some reason. I live in California but I'm sure that was easy to figure out. I didn't feel well when I got up either Depressed, even had anxiety with no explanation. When your BP gets elevated, lay down and relax, and do some breathing exercises. Not too deep because it will make you dizzy, but not too light or it won't help. And always check your BP at least twice. And Please start taking your meds again, that may be a big part of why you are going through all of this. Hang in there hon.
