Hey, hey @Miguel'smom!Good to see you and thanks for stopping by with so much excellent experience to share.
I'm curious- did any pdoc ever caution you about having full spectrum bulbs on most of the time? They've always been so DON'T DO IT to me, and I don't agree with them. I've been lazy about it, but it's seems to me that because I'm used to the very bright, high sun and don't tend to get depressed when that sun is present, doesn't it make sense to have my room lit like that sun?
I am comfortable with your "accept and plan" strategy. That feels practical to me. It's not amorphous, it doesn't require a huge amount of study, work, practice, which can be draining during a crisis. For those of us with major MI, we need a tight, solid, basic go-to plan that works now.
One of the most helpful steps I've ever taken was to keep a mood chart. I was so resistant, thinking it would be a total waste of time. No. The mood chart surprised me by showing me how I was feeling when I didn't realize how I was feeling. That helped determine meds and doses needed. A game changer.
