I thought it was a good title to start a discussion with other members. I am feeling really irriratable of late. I am worried my depression is on its way back. I have to look at ways at managing and expressing my feelings. Its so hard to get the words out and to express what is happening for me.

I'm starting to feel a bit better today, which is good. I did see my GP this afternoon and I went for a swim. I had to make a few appointments for next week- dietitian on Monday and exercise physiologist on Tuesday. And waiting to hear back from my GP tomorrow on blood tests or they should be back on Monday.
In a few weeks time I am most likely having major surgery and its going to take up to 8 weeks to recovery from it. In the nex few weeks, I will be trying to prepare for surgery. I need to have bloods done prior to surgery and I want to exercise as much as possible before the surgery.
I might have a bit of a rest and then workout what I am going to do tonight.
