Too much |
My head's full of too many thoughts, fighting each other, circling
round, stopping me from resting, or fighting the depression, or anxiety,
or anger. One more hour to let my mood drop to the bottom.
I can't concentrate enough to find something to distract me. My
routine's gone. I have too many things to do to do anything. Not even
Artois curled up against me in bed helped; I couldn't bring myself to
stroke him.
It helps to know I have a method.
--
The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

Don't concentrate on anything you need to get done. It can be overwhelming
if there is a lot. Think of one thing at a time and do just one thing at a
time. Granted it doesn't get a lot done right away, but it gets something
done. That way you'll feel better that you accomplished something. Even if
it's just getting out of bed to brush your teeth, then it's jumping in the
shower. After that, maybe a pot of coffee.. You know baby steps

I'm back. I've spent the last two days stuck on which car to use? The
faster, larger car has better crash protection, or the smaller one -
less impact, but less protection. Yesterday, the small car's battery
failed - I took it as a sign.
Anyway, my mood's lifted, and the anxiety seems to have gone away. My
anger still feels as though it's held in check by a wet tissue, but I'm
basically over it, I think.

When that happens to me, I pay attention to my breath. Whenever I find
myself not paying attention, I go back to the method of paying attention to
breath, to breathing.

Some other time you'll be able again.

I don't know, sometimes I think I'd rather not know how.

I'm beginning to think I need a SAD light. I crash this time every
year, guaranteed, no matter what's going on or how med-compliant I am.
Cycle right back up with the sun.
Hold on. Stupid brain chemistry...

When I go inpatient next week, I usually work with a great doctor.
Maybe he'll be able to advocate with my insurance (Medicare, Medicaid
HMO). There's no way in hell I can afford one out-of-pocket. I've
looked.

Insurance coverage would be best, true. I didn't figure my insurance
would pay for it and was pretty much desperate, so I bought the best I
could through the cheapest dependable avenue available to me.
Best wishes. It's been a near lifesaver for me.

Here's an example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SADELITE_W0QQitemZ5630975524QQcategoryZ3193QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
And yes, the price will go up and the person is scamming by charging
so much shipping. Still, there can be bargins to be had. (This is the
exact lamp I have, btw. The benefits are you can set it over your
computer, tilt it the right way, and use it w/o having to interrupt
your computer schedule to do so. ;) AND, tilted away from your eyes,
it doubles as a decent desk lamp.)
Please know that I'm not endorsing this particular listing in any way.
I don't know this person from adam. Myself, I figured lucked out
because the person I bought my SAD lamp from was selling an almost new
one and was local, so I didn't have to pay shipping. The lamp itself,
the SADelite, I do recommend, FWIW. Especially if you can find it
cheap.
