I went off the bus a 20 minutes walk before the doctor's office. Had a nice walk in the sun and heard birds singing. Wonderful! I read about anxiety and procrastination in the waiting room. That chapter did not give me as much as that about depression, but it goes along the same line of course. A persons brain get used to some kind of doing or not doing (several nerve pathways work together). I can understand that when the time comes and the nest is empty, there is nobody to talk to inside the home, and of course there are opportunities for growing habits that is not good for one. I can especially understand that the Lockdown made "things" worse, even if some of my family members came and stood outside from time to time. The long Lockdown time was an awful time! Glad it belongs to the past. To have to stay alone for a lot of time is not healthy, neither emotional nor physical ...

On my way home again I dropped into the grocery store. Bought a few things and a bottle of wine. (My meds tolerate alcohol in small portions). For now I am going enjoy my dinner and wine and then rest for a bit afterward. Later in the evening I am going to do housework in the living room.

Hope all the users of this thread are well!

May you all feel that what you are able to do is OK (either little or much)!
