I occasionally take the phq-9 questionnaire to see if there's any progress in my depression. Looks like I've gone backwards - I'm back at severe depression.
I know these things are not always accurate but it at least provides some info. Plus my pdoc agrees that I'm depressed.
I did some painting today. As in painting a room. It took so long to get the room ready removing everything and taping. Now my wife doesn't like the colour so back to home depot tomorrow.
I mentioned a couple of times that I'm seeing things occasionally. My pdoc says it's part of my depression and will clear up as the depression gets better. I was out driving on a major highway when I saw a rabbit hopping across 5 lanes of traffic! Of course it wasn't really there but I was really taken aback by it. My pdoc and I are waiting for an appointment with a research hospital so there's no point in calling her about it.
