Another post...finally
Mar. 13th, 2003 09:56 pmYes, finally found it in myself to attempt another post here.
As plenty of people have noticed, I've been down recently. ;) Yep, no surprise there. Finally bit the bullet and consulted the doctor about it today. On the happy pills for a while which will hopefully restore the chemical balance in my brain and get me bet to normal.
This would be considered a good thing. I think most people have probably realised how off my game I've been recently. Those I've spoken to and those I've just come into contact with. Those people that have taken the time to talk to me I thank you all. It's taken me by surprise both how unable I've been to get through this alone and how many people seemed to give a flying damn. Thanks all of you. I know I've been almost impossible to be around and those that stuck with it I appreciate it more than I can say.
The touchy feely stuff out the way, I do feel a little better today. Still lacking much of an attention span, still immensely tired, but a lot more positive now I've actually confronted things and asked for help. My doc was surprisingly helpful in that regard, more so than I've ever known him to be.
Took a few days away to visit the sister, brother in law and nephew which I think helped some. Having a 9 month old baby to nursemaid for a couple of days at least took my focus off myself for a while. Something I've needed. Got myself screwed up about my own problems.
Things seem to be easing at work, which is good, and I've been making effort to get out and about a bit more. Not sure if this will have any long term effect - I was still low yesterday but the worry has been eased somewhat.
Again the girlfriend has been there throughout helping and supporting. Pushing when I felt detatched from the world, somehow managing to offer support even when I wasn't responsive. She and others with endless patience have helped me enormously.
This is problem where I came in.
For everyone that's been in any way worried about me... thanks, I'll be fine. Stop worrying now. It surprises me when you do and I appreciate it. I'm getting there.
I'll probably write more soon if my more focused mood continues.
