Sandy - I sympathize with you. I can feel when the boom is being lowered, also. It is very frightening. Although, like Sky, I am never without the depression, I can feel when it gets worse or is about to get worse. It is a yucky feeling! I hope you can distract yourself enough to shake it off or make an appointment with your T for an earlier date. If I went for more than one week without an appointment I don't know what I would do...I end up calling him sometimes twice a day when I feel myself slipping. Take care - and around here someone always reads and replies to the posts, I have found. Good luck!
