Yesterday was a day spent resting. I had a mild fever and barely drank throughout the day, and everything hurt.
The feeling I had before where I felt that I would black out reduced enough for me to be able to stand for a few minutes. I’m seeing my doctor on Monday anyway and will see what he says about my symptoms, even if they pass by then.
I don’t think I’ll physically go in to work on Monday. Things there are so busy that I just end up sitting at my desk for the day anyway, but the plus side is that I don’t have the hour-long commute.
Mood-wise it has been 8 days since my last bad day, which is about average. I’m still enjoying music more than I was before and my thoughts are more future-directed than they were before. My thoughts aren’t happy ones but they’re less negative than they were about a month ago. I think that’s happening because I found something that makes me feel good while I’m doing it and I have been doing it more often. It’s not something I can do long-term but it works for now (no money is involved, but it uses a lot of time).
