when I fatigue
I was doing well today. Coping with the different things I had to do, and the depression I felt, as I carried myself
along..keeping up with my responsibilities. I felt clear while at the office today and then suddenly I fatigued - I got tired mentally - in a big way - and that's when my mind went south. I got lost - and felt like quivering ball of nerves.
Anyways, I got things done there - and then made my way home. Walked to the bakery and got a coffee - then called
and left a message for my therapist when I got home. Just told her about the fatigue and my craziness. It's weird
how without reminders in my day - the love I know I have from the people in my life - I can lose perspective of it -
and I'll feel, also in this type of instance, just like I've done something wrong. It's fatigue I am sure of it - at least in part - and at moments like that I just need to reach out - to someone a friend or family and just talk myself 'down from it.'
Things are ok. Just might take a nap and then go to yoga. I hope you guys are having a good day.
Sending peace, good spirit, kharma and vibes-boogie :) hehe

"H.A.L.T" remains one of my most valuable psych tools. When I find myself psychopating, I do a personal inventory to see if I am Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. H.A.L.T.
I am still frequently amazed at just how often one or more of those four conditions is the actual root of my psychopations.
I didn't get my nap today. Keeping the "T" on my awareness radar. I do get grumpalatious when I get tired. No taking ^it^ out on babies.
I love naps. . .
thanks arfie. I go to yoga soon for a quick hour. It's a very low impact therapeutics class so hopefully that will bring me back.
anyways, calming down much more now. I appreciate the H.A.L.T!!! :)
