Give yourself as close as you can to a time out here. Remember you’ll get your meds one way or the other. Your internist can tide you over if necessary. What are your go tos for self care when your mood starts to go down? You identified the trigger-the meds situation. Get a good night’s sleep. Visualize us here with you keeping watch over you in alternating shifts until you feel better.. Ask your partner to pitch in a little more until you feel better or get a babysitter who can drive to help take some chores off you. Tell her what you are going through and that you need help and hugs and a little pampering til you bounce back in a few days. Get out in the fresh air for a walk. Take a mental health day off from work if you have to —everyone gets sick sometimes and this is our version of sick. You can cough to make it convincing if you have to. You’ll be back in shape in a couple days. Keep posting. We’re here! Hugs!
