When I've tried to rush him he's protested.

Last night I didn't fall asleep until 3 am, waking up at 8 am. Hubby put on breakfast for a change. I definitely took my evening meds. I'm wondering if the season changes are a factor. There is already blooming forsythia here and snowdrops. This is not normal, but hey, nothing seems normal anymore.

My reduced pregabalin (Lyrica) has lowered my appetite, but my left foot pain has also returned to a degree. I guess the latter is the lesser evil. Really, it's no biggie.

I was thinking a lot about my old psychiatrist yesterday. It is/was a transference love case. I miss him more than I miss my own father. Sad but true. He and I have exchanged a few emails since I stopped "seeing him" last May (video sessions during covid). It's hard not to see them as sorts of love letters. It's my doing, as I initiate. I simply have to stop. I assume he likes them enough to not tell me to stop, or simply stop responding. In that sense, he's also quite to blame. Surely more so. It's been since before Christmas that we last wrote. There's never been proper closure in the relationship. I twice tried to say goodbye, but he refused it. Another abnormal thing. It prevents the grieving process from being adequately completed.
Your husband sounds a little like my sister. She has no fast pace! Sometimes I can get frustrated with her, but she is who she is!

Im sorry to hear that about your old pdoc, it sounds like he maybe doesnt want to let you go? I wonder if its not just one sided.... Just be careful @Soupe du jour it sounds like there is more to his side of things!!

Im sorry to hear of your foot pain coming back on the lower dose. My appetite was HUGE when I was on pregabalin. It was crazy! It was such a helpful medication though, it really fixed my anxiety... until i got used to it and had to up the dose!
