HOME

Well I'm finally home (again).
4 hospital stays in 91 days. Wow. No wonder it feels so strange to be in my own house again. Adjusting will take time. Cooking for myself will take time.
My house is in the same condition in which I left it. A pigsty. So no one room has warmth and charm to lift my mood. Will have to slowly start cleaning up - one room at a time.
I did go and watch my son play soccer in the finals. I'd been so sick this year - thst it was the first game I had been to all year. His team lost. But they play again next week. So still stand a chance of playing the grand final.
My son is still living with my mum. Has been since the end of April. Hopefully he will see how much I've improved on my new anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. Then he may choose to come home soon.
Was up and doing the washing early this morning. But now reading a book in bed.
Am very bored. But have AA Meeting tomorrow night.
And I have my WorkCover IME (independent Medical Examination) - psych interview with a tough psychiatric on the 30th of this month. Think it could be on Wednesday. And then I have my much waited for Psychologist appointment. Can't see him when I'm in hospital (too far away).
So that's it for now. A new thread for a new beginning.

Re: HOME

Thanks @utopia. It was a digital photography class and I am amongst the dinosaurs ....head still spinning, but I will get there .....

I hope they can help you to find somebody. Even talking about the flat feelings and how normal or abnormal they are can help us get more of a reading on where we are at. Your doc might have been expecting this, but not thought to tell you, for instance.

Hmmm ..... can the Labrador go on slightly reduced rations for a few days as penance, and to help preserve your wallet ?!

Glad you got some sleep ❣️

Re: HOME

Hello @Shaz51 . I'm OK. Getting by. Depression has eased. Waiting for motivation.

But I did a bit of cleaning today. Dishes in the kitchen. Fridge door. Toilet (yuk). A load of washing. Brought in a load of washing. Took the rubbish bin out the front. That's it.

Read a bit of a book. Watched TV tonight.

How are you going? I hope Mr Shaz51 is in better health.

❤

Re: HOME

Thanks @Shaz51 . Hope you and Mr Shaz51 are well.

I've requested an appointment with a new psychologist and just have to wait for an appointment time. So will see how that goes.

Everything else is the same. Nothing new happening.

Re: HOME

Hi @utopia i haven’t spoken to you for a while. How are you? I read that you have been struggling with depression again. I’m sorry you’re going through a tough time. Motivation is so hard. I totally get that.

I’m nit motivated at all st the moment. Struggling.

How is your son going? Xxoo

Re: HOME

@BlueBay My son is doing well. He's at work at the moment. Finishes soon. He's struggling with maths, but other than that he's doing well at school. Still in love with his go. ❤.

No I'm not depressed. Just lost. But I'm coping.

Hope you start feeling better soon.
