In my opinion based on personal experience if your therapist recommends a short course of a benzo to get you over the hump I would agree as long as you know it is not long term. But that is still your decision. You do not want to add more triggers and symptoms. Better to nip it here, lesser of the two evils in my opinion.
I know, but there is a part of me that just did not want to get out of bed or even leave my room.
I started my prescription meds today, to see if they will be of help. I will be seeing my therapist Tuesday and the Shrink in about 3 weeks.
I just need to try and make it through each day. Today I have to speak at our company meeting, so I need to make it through that. I'm trying to get myself to eat my granola bar so I can take my vitamins, harder then I think. I ate crackers this morning at home to take the meds, I just did not want to take my vitamins with it too.
I'm hoping to get enough focus to write my paper that is due Sunday.
I'm wondering if I need anti-anxiety meds with my depression meds. I guess I can ask in a couple of weeks.
Its good to hear from you today. I hope your test comes back with a normal A1c level. If not, well than maybe the two of us can figure it out together..
I have so much to learn about diabetes and the diet. It seems to be very individual to each person I am reading and you have to test and tailor it to your needs..It seems complicated. It would be easier for me if it was black and white and a one size fit all way of life but it isn't..They say it causes heart disease and lots of other things so I am beginning to think I must of had a problem for a few years now before they diagnosed me..The A1c test came out in 2010 I think read some where. So some if the damage has already occured in my case..I am doing the best I can with it but it is frustrating and I do feel overwhelmed with it all and it makes me a bit sad..No one said getting older was going to be easy..I sure wish it was..
Sending a hug your way. So sorry you are grieving today..
I lost my Dad many years ago and think of him most every day..Even though they have passed I belief they are with us in spirit always. My Dad believed people who have passed send us little messages after they are gone. My son found a floating rock in a jacket pocket he bought new after my dad passed and this rock is only found one place in the world at the Salton Sea..We went there a few times with my dad looking for rocks and fossels.. He came to me in a once while I was falling asleep and spoke to me, because of this I know his spirit is with me..My late husband came to me in a dream state when I was half asleep and touched my hand and kissed me so he I know he is with me too..
I think of them most days and miss them too. They are a part of who I am..for this I am grateful.
Oh dear. What would your Dad think of that? A way to take the negative out of this is to make something he would have really liked. If you are too tired to do that think of what you would do if you weren't. You can't bring him back but there is absolutely no reason to let go of him. What was he like? My Dad certainly had his faults but he was the gentlest man I knew. He wasn't a big tough jock but he was in other ways. He was the hardest worker I knew and we never noticed because that is just how he was. We never lacked for anything that we really needed. I miss him and want to tell him so. He had two favourite meals, Stew and Dumplings and Yorkshire Pudding, I think I will make that to remember him. I don't remember him liking sweets all that much. I remember he used to make beer too. He used to garden a bit but mostly he liked flowers. Chrysanthemums and gladiolas. I'm getting more like him as I age and I feel that is a good thing. I will soon be the same age he was when he died. He has been gone half my life and I still miss him. He would be disappointed if he thought he never taught me to be a hard working good person. So I try as a way to remember and to show him he never wasted his time.
Your Dad will never be gone as long as you find ways to remember him. Talk to him, ask his opinion, he will talk to you through your memory, let him guide you through your memory. Believe me, this does not in any way make you weird. It makes you human.
I was too tired yesterday to write much. I should not have had lunch there, I know better. I should have just taken a few safe things I know I can eat. So I got home very sore and had a migraine like headache all night. I still have a bit. But the trip was good and although it had snowed a bit and still was in the mountains the road was good. The city was good.
Today is a different storey. It started snowing at five this morning and is still. There is some wind too. The snow that was on the trees is blowing off. Jasper went out but if he stays out there he is a tough cat. First snow of the year is always miserable. In a month this will be nothing.
Good news is that Telus has marked out the land they are expropriating for the new internet tower. Bad news is that it is winter so unless the building is prefab and doesn't need a foundation it may be next year. I'm going to go see if they are working there. People are unhappy that it is going to take up some of the community hall parking lot. This is progress.
Red I am glad you are getting answers. I'm waiting for results from my A1C. If I am diabetic it may just mean diet. If that is even what is the matter. I don't like being this tired.
Going to light the fire to take the chill off, the wind can blow and the snow fall and I don't care.
By the way I found a diabetes online support group with a chat room and was given some good info on carb counting tonight so I am feeling a bit better now. Knowing that I will have a way talk to others who have diabetes and can find out how and what they are doing to control their blood sugar and slow down the progression of their diabetes is a relief. Up until now I have been alone in this with little help really..This should be good..This should help alleviate some of the stress of the unknown and maybe help me get this condition I have under control better..
