Well I made it to waiting 4 weeks more to find out whether the increased dose of Remeron works.

I'm still depressed but, I'm having what I would call positive dreams. I wake up feeling good because of what I dreamt. I don't remember the dreams though. The positive feeling goes away pretty quickly as the depression comes back but I'll take a little positivity however short it is.

So maybe it's starting to work after all these weeks. I dunno.

I'm still pretty depressed though. Negative thoughts about the past and future, and I have body pains. My present isn't all that great but I try hard to enjoy little things even if it lasts only a few moments.

My wife and I helped an elderly acquaintance create an email address, showed her how to use it, signed up for online billing for one of her utilities, and helped her pay the bill. It's all easy stuff for us but this person is in their 70s and has difficulty with it. Kudos to her for wanting to learn.

It did mean that we had to break the social distancing rules because we had to show her how to use her phone etc. Hopefully things will turn out ok.

The plus side to this is that my family is home and we get to see each other more often. My eldest son might come home this weekend to ride out the virus with us instead of being alone. We'll all have to isolate for 2 weeks if he does come but we are prepared for that, we have enough food to keep us going.

We are supporting our friends that are self isolating by buying them groceries. We drop it off at their door and call them to pick it up after we leave.

Interesting times!
