Up Early

Today I woke up at 10 am and felt pretty rested. I did go to sleep early last night, at 11 pm. I'm going to try and go to sleep early again tonight. I have my psychiatrist appointment tomorrow and I have to be ready by 1:30. It's not that early, but I want to be up early anyway. Geo is dealing with issues with his mom... she needs to show that he lives with her, but he doesn't have the right paperwork. She's paying $100 more a month on her mortgage because of it. I don't get why, but whatever. She came over yesterday and started crying when she found out we didn't have the proper paperwork. We all felt like crap. I think that's the major reason I felt so depressed last night. I'm feeling better mood wise today... I had to deal with more crap from my boss. I came into work early so I could get some paperwork taken care of, and so when she came in I had already been there for an hour. She asked me to take care of the lobby, and when I looked out, I had talked with everyone, so I just took my seat facing the patients. She assumed that I hadn't talked to them since she didn't see me doing it before, and I had to step in and tell her I had already done it. I hate how she thinks she has to do everything for me. I know what I'm doing. 
I signed up for a new HMO for Medicare today... Florida Health Care Plus. It's the only HMO that my primary doctor is going to take. I will miss my therapist, but I think my psychiatrist is on that plan as well. If not, I can just go back to my old psych at the clinic and get a therapist there. I like my therapist a lot, but lately it's been more like friends chatting than actual therapy. I'm hoping to get a therapist that does CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to deal with anxiety and depression. We will see how it goes. 
My stomach was upset this morning and I spent some time in the bathroom. I lost all the pounds I gained from that Japanese buffet yesterday and more. I only did 5,000 steps today, but it's better than nothing. I'm feeling pretty good now... my stomach is better and I'm going to go to sleep soon. I hope I sleep well tonight... I slept decently last night for the first time in a while. That's why I was up so early and couldn't nap. Oh well.. at least I'm rested!

it is so good to sleep good and feel rested when you wake up. your boss sounds annoying and I would be upset too. why doesn\'t she notice that you have done the job already? maybe speak to her if your able? I so relate to what you said about your therapist becoming more like friends then therapy. that happened to me, and I finally had to tell her I needed a different therapist, I felt awful, but had to do what was right for me. sorry your stomach was upset, maybe it was the Chinese? oh, dr.anderson does cbt and I don\'t really like it, I guess because you have to face up to your thoughts and behaviours. hope you have a great day, hugsss

I am glad you got your rest! It sounds like your job is very stressful. You are capable of doing your job or you wouldn\'t be there. You also proved you had already taken care of everything. If I was your boss, I would feel bad for even acting that way. Many hugs to you!

Thanks girls. It\'s just so hard for me to deal with her. I\'m thinking of changing my hours since I can get up earlier now. I think maybe working 1-2 pm or something. I need to start going to bed earlier anyway.
