Slipped, new resolve!
So, yesterday I cut after a massive panic attack. I had been good for so long, but the fatigue, anxiety and everything is just getting worse and I started feeling like I couldn't think for several days and finally gave in. Unfortunately, the cutting did clear my head. I also bought alcohol for the first time in my life this week. That doesn't clear my head. I think I'll just drink a little before bed until it's gone and then give up on it. It's not helping the way I hoped it would. But the cutting - I need to find something else that will clear my head so I won't use it again!
Problem - I'm too tired to do anything. Solution - I should be content doing nothing but sit on the couch if I can find something good to do on the couch. I'm going to try camping out in the living room tomorrow. Camping out in my bedroom I think has become too much isolation. And maybe I should start inviting friends over if I'm too tired to leave the house.
And I should probably call my docs and tell them the fatigue is getting worse. But which one do I call first? PCP, dermatologist (monitoring dermatomyositis) or psychiatrist? I already tried cutting back on the anxiety med that would be causing drowsiness.
I need to just stop expecting anything from myself, I think. Whenever I try to do anything I'm too tired.
