A New Day

[Saffron_Spice]

It's a better day today, folks, so far. I'm taking one hr at a time. I am not feeling suicidal, and your responses and support helped tremendously. My new task given by a nurse and a therapist is to keep a mood and sleep log. Perhaps that will tie up my mind some and it will give my doctor something to consider when I see her on June 3rd, & it seems to be time for a medication change so that can be broached then. That's 2 wks away... I can tough it out that length of time.

Thanks again, peace! ✌🙏

I’m glad you’re feeling better today. I’m new to depression and anxiety and I’ve just started some medication a couple of weeks ago. Hoping to see some results soon, but just taking it, like you, day to day. I’m glad I found this group where I can relate to others dealing with similar issues. Hope you have a great day.

Thank you, & being able to relate really helps tremendously. I hope your medicine makes a difference. Hope & perseverance help too! You have a great day too, and I appreciate you taking a moment to share & connect. 🙂

Taking things one hour at a time is smart. Micro manage your mood😎

Glad you're getting that support. I sadly am not. My psychiatrist seems to think I complain too much and I'm too difficult to deal with.

I hope you can fire that sucker & find a caring professional who knows how to listen.

[Hidden in reply to Saffron_Spice]

Sadly, I thought he was caring. Now, he's turned on me.

[Saffron_Spice in reply to Hidden]

Oh that makes me mad for you. Prayers. 🙏

[Hidden in reply to Saffron_Spice]

I don't know where to find a better doctor. Seems like they are all cold fish.

[Saffron_Spice in reply to Hidden]

That sucks. I have to rely on state funded facilities, but I guess I get lucky. Sometimes though we have to advocate hard for ourselves. When I first got in the business of seeking mental health help for myself, I had some lousy doctors who didn't really listen to me or ask the right questions. Now I understand, thru trial and error, how to identify symptoms, express myself, and get results. Please keep forging ahead. There is help for you, I'm sure of it. 🙏

I'm not doing much better. I have Medicare and Medicaid.

[Saffron_Spice in reply to Hidden]

That is good. That is hope.

[Hidden in reply to Saffron_Spice]

True. Can't give up hope!!! 🙂
