So after some encouragement from my fiance (thanks IM technology) I made it out the door and walked a circuit of about a mile that included a stop at the library. I returned my book AND made it...

I am trying to keep the momentum from the weekend going. I got up at the recommended 9 hours of sleep, which took some doing. Supplement and medications - check.I need to go to the library to return...

We made it out for another walk this afternoon before I actually got in the shower and actually fixed myself up to go to dinner! I haven't bothered trying to look nice in so long, I forgot how much...

I had a rough time falling asleep last night because of a major headache. It was so bad, I kept waking up every hour from 2 a.m. until 6:45 a.m. when I lay there for an hour trying to fall back...

I wonder if it's the extra Nuvigil I took or if it's the fact that I got outside today, but I managed to bake a buttload of chocolate chocolate chip walnut cookies on top of everything else!I hope I...

Freshly (or not so freshly depending on how you look at it) home from the second jaunt of the day. The 1.5-mile walk to the shopping neighborhood was nice. I didn't feel to anxious and I wasn't...

I'm a little nervous about going to my doctor today. I feel like it's a report card and I don't know how I'm doing. I went through the DSM-IV symptoms of depression with my therapist yesterday and...

I was on the Discussion board and noticed that someone posted how tired and awful they're feeling. When members replied and suggested some things like activities, the person responded that they've...

Another day where the daylight has gone way too early. It's chilly and I think the last of the warm days are definitely gone for the year.I've been having trouble getting up lately. Not so much that...

I didn't get out of bed until late afternoon. It was raining and gloomy today. I didn't want to beat myself up about not getting out of bed, so I did some dishes and put my energies toward baking. I...

Since I made the decision to confront my client with the news that I'm not ready to go back to work yet, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I felt even a bit lighthearted...

So writing that last journal entry made it pretty clear to me that I am just not ready to return to work. So, I sucked it up and wrote the client to let them know I have been dealing with some...
