Some what good I saw a new thearpist yesterday... I was for a while being able to cook for myself and than in June the other thearpist left that clinic, and I thought I would continue to do better and I all I did was go back to my comfort zone or NO zone!
I am amazed to learn about depression...I can intellectually I understand it and it puzzles me, why one just can't correct it, and get back to functioning it is so weird...
I never know when one of these episode is going to come on me...
They say it is chemistry I used to wonder about that....but I think I realized now these can occur during, or right after a stressful situation or even greater time in between, it all depends when this chemical reaction is presend or catches up!
I write about this so if someone who feel embrassed or might be going through some thing like this and never gave a thought to what was going on would recognized this
Not much is spoken and many suffer in ignorance of what it happening or even aware.
I would have never known about I learn about it a few years ago and am just beganning to understand it!
Depression is often misunderstood. Good that you are aware, and are somewhat understanding it, and its influence. Stress can cause many things.....aches and pains and loss of appetite (or increase)...and chemical imbalances. Physical activity can help reduce depression symptoms...though that would be difficult for one who can't be physically active....but doing things are helpful...keeping your brain stimulated; also, forcing yourself to socialize, clean, or something productive...no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, are beneficial, as well.
Resty, I finally had an appointment with a counselor today at our huge medical mental health community center. I knew I was depressed, but I have every reason to be so. My problem is that my panic attacks have come back during this stress. Gawd, little did I know that I would get a cross between Dr Laura and a divorce lawyer. I like her style. After a brief discussion of my childhood, she actually asked "and what hit the fan in your nineteen year marriage to cause your separation"? So, I told her of the problem of his wanting to talk to and contact hot babes on the internet and call them on his cell phone, even if I objected. My word, she told me that if he needed that to bolster his ego, it wasn't my problem. She said that I was appropriately depressed and not clinically, but that I needed to see a physician for medication tranquilizers that I had taken over twenty years ago.
But the most amazing part of my hour was the advice she gave me to just ride this out and not file for divorce as he would probably be crawling home to security as soon as one of the hot babes hurt him. I told her that that would probably not happen. She then said that if there was a divorce, that I should take all steps to not get beaten down in financial settlements. She told me to keep my head high and have some fun.
I left with my head reeling, but feeling much better about myself.
You hanging in there Resty?
