Hi Scooter, I hope a medication adjustment helps out. As meager as it may seem, having at least one baseline day after many less desirable ones is a start. Maybe with a med adjustments you'll soon see at least more than one per week, then most days better, then all. It has worked like that for me, in the past.

Wild Coyote, I'm sorry your sleep has been stressful. I guess it's understandable. I really like fern's suggestion, too. My past therapist used to have me do such a thing even before stressful events. Such a method even helped get me out of a period of agoraphobia, so I know it can work.

I was a little annoyed that my husband put out some things for the Vietnam Vet donation pick up that I had told him I wanted to save. I had specifically walked him through the garage showing him what I wanted to donate. I guess I can't completely blame him, though. If I had really wanted the particular things, I should have removed them from the garage. He put the stuff out late last night, mostly in boxes. I attempted to retrieve the things this morning, but he had duct taped all of the boxes. That made it too difficult. Oh well. The items were vintage Christmas cookie cutters and a vintage cookie press. I likely wouldn't have used them much anyway. I have newer ones, except the cookie press. Otherwise, I don't have trouble giving or throwing things away.

I see my therapist today. I see her every week. I thought she'd be away on vacation, but she apparently only took four days off, which didn't conflict with my appointments. I'm glad. I'm counting down the days until I see my psychiatrist again. It's already been five weeks. I see him next Wednesday. Normally I see him every three weeks, or every two weeks if I'm doing poorly. It's not so much the length of time between seeing him. When he's home, he's always available. Just having him home is a comfort, even if my appointments are many days away.
