Thanks for the good advice.

I've been keeping the TV on all the time. When I go into the bedroom for the night, I leave it on. It's like I don't feel alone in the house with it on. When I'm in a decent frame of mind, I don't need it on.

I don't have any appointment to see anyone at the psych center till sometime in January. Not that I care. If I went there sooner, they would just ask, "What is it you think we can do for you?" So it doesn't really matter.
