The Friday before last, I had a health issue that came up and I ended up in the ER. Also, that same week, I had an upper endoscopy which I had no problem with and a colonoscopy, in which I woke up 3 different times and was traumatized by it. This week has been harder physically. My therp has let me call her daily with updates, but with both of us understanding that she isn't always able to call me back.
As to whether the problems found are long-term or not (don't know yet) my therp just says to keep my mind off of it and try to keep my mind occupied and take it one day at a time. That's what I've been trying to do but now I'm unable to concentrate on either books or TV. Cannot physically do much. I spent most of the day medicated and sleeping because I can't figure out anything I can do. I am depressed and NOTHING sounds interesting.
Any suggestions? My mental illnesses are long-term and frankly, most are tired of hearing about my problems. The only one who has been supportive is going through so much right now that she's completely overwhelmed.
