Three days ago, I saw both my Psychiatrist, and my therapist, and they both agreed that I am Depressed. I didn't fully realize it, until then, because I wasn't crying a lot, I wasn't at the point of wanting to jump off of a bridge, in other words, I wasn't in crisis mode. I just have a lack of interest in anything. So, my Psychiatrist increased one of my meds, and slowly my mood is lifting.
We experienced a blizzard, last night, here in Massachusetts. We got 28 inches. The thought of all that snow sent me into panic mode, with me shouting: "There's no way, you're getting me outside in that shit", to my husband. But I'm trying to consider it, after all, the snow is beautiful to see. I know that if my mind was in a happy state, I would be eager to witness the amazing effect of a New England Blizzard. But right now, I just don't care.
My therapist also pointed out to me, that I have a lot on my mind. I am concerned about a couple of children in my family, because their parents are separating and causing a lot of drama and the children have conveyed to my husband and I, their unhappiness. It's causing me to have nightmares. All I can do is be there for them, try to offer my support.
But, I wish that I was a Superhero. Then I could save everyone from their trauma, and then, I wouldn't have PTSD and Schizoaffective Disorder.
You may feel like your not a SuperHero but you ARE a SuperFriend! And one of the most caring people I know. MMM
ReplyDeleteOh, Michele, you know how to move me to tears. But not sad tears, they are because I feel so loved.
DeleteThat last bit really got to me, in a good way. I can totally relate to that feeling of "Where would I be if only these things hadn't happened to me, or if I could just magically overcome them?"
