As stated above, I really don't know how this works. My goal with this is to track my moods and get feedback and suggestions on ways to improve myself. I would also like to help others, if I can. I'm pretty sure that I covered all of the basics in my new member message. If not, feel free to ask me about anything. I went to my second therapy session today; and didn't get great news. In my first session, I completed two test to assess my anxiety and depression levels. It seem anything over 30 is cause for alarm. My anxiety score was 50 and my depression score was 70. I have been taking amitriptyline for sleep for over a year; and my doctor just started me on fluoxetine for the depression. My therapist warned that the fluoxetine could send me into a manic state; so I have asked those closest to me to pay attention. I know from past experience that I may not recognize the early warning signs. It is sad that those closest to me are mainly coworkers. On a good note, I read that walking at 10 minute intervals 3 times a day is equal to a 30 minute stretch in terms of health benefits. I really need to get in shape; and I can handle 10 minutes at a time while I work my way up to longer stretches. That's about all for now. I am ending with my new quote: "No more excuses, for they are the nooses that help me to hang myself".
