Relapse
Hello all,
Have been having down days lately. The unemployed bit is getting to me. Yesterday I went to a "state of the town" luncheon for 2 local towns, one of which we live in. My wife suggested I go for it as a chance to do some networking. When I got there I "froze up" and couldn't "press the flesh" and talk with some people. After the luncheon everyone headed for the door. At that point I felt like a failure.
At that point I went to the Y and sat in the whirl pool for a while. Then I went to a local church and sat and prayed for a while, then went for a drive before going home and into the welcoming arms of my loving wife.
So today I'm looking at a change of routine. Taking in a movie with my son, and most importantly to call my psychologist for a long talk, and then call my NP who monitors my meds to see about changing my meds.
