The depression is back. I missed my med provider appointment yesterday due to the medical tests and won’t be able to speak to her until next week if then. I believe all this depression and anxiety is stemming from the realization that my life is not working for me. I’m under a tremendous amount of stress (I’m losing my hair to it) and I’m not thriving. I will rally but it’s too bad I had to go off the Wellbutrin so quickly.

This Sunday we are celebrating Mother’s Day and my, my daughter’s and my mom’s birthdays. It will be lovely seeing M. The pool is about to open and I’m going to Florida soon with M for a week. I’m going to a Drum Circle Monday. Lots of good things to look forward to. I shouldn’t be so down. I am.

I hope everybody has a peaceful day. Hugs to all.

Once I had an absolutely top-notch therapist who told me "'should' is between 'sh it' and 'syphilis' in the dictionary." So, no "shoulds."

GOOD for you, Jennifer, for taking charge and doing everything that needs to be done to maintain your physical and mental health! Please give yourself major credit for that.

Yes - too much stress. Your hair falling out signifies too much stress on your mind and body. The pool will surely be extremely beneficial, as will the drum circle.
