I’ll call my doctor’s office for the doctor on call and see if they want me to hold off on taking it.
I’ve determined that I will make it through Thanksgiving and visiting M and if I’m not feeling better then I’ll go IP. Having said that, I feel a bit better this morning although morning is my good time of day.
I don’t have much emotional support in my life at all. I have other forms of support for which I’m very grateful but emotional support is lacking. Just a general lack of thoughtfulness, caring and compassion. I’ve decided to accept it for what it is and to build my own tribe of people who care for me. The first emotional support I’m putting in is my therapist who was happy to hear from me.
I’m also going to do a better job with other methods for managing this like nutrition, exercise, supplements, meditation and some forms of energy healing. That’s all I can think of.
I appreciate PC and the folks on this forum. It really helps just to get it out. Thank you.
Warm regards.

I am so sorry you are having a tough time.

You are loved and appreciated here, Jennifer.
I think you know I support you and you are invited to contact me anytime. We've briefly touched upon the modalities you have listed here. I cannot always get back to anyone right away; however, I generally do respond within the same day/night.
I care about you very much! You have been a great friend to me for years now.
With Love and Appreciation
