I know my pdoc always insisted that I get enough of the right kind of sleep each night. In the long run it has helped with the severe mood swings.

What I can't seem to get rid of is the feeling of sadness that is my constant companion. Sometimes it rises to the surface and the thought of doing anything takes and enormous amount of effort.

I can sometimes suppress the sadness turn my concentration to something I'm working on at the moment. Or by keeping in touch with friends. (hint, hint)

The holidays are a rough time of year for all, happy, sad, or otherwise so I can understand how it is more difficult. I sincerely hope you are able to progress through the next process.

I'm glad your pdoc explains things. Mine does too. Of course it is not always what I want to hear but at least he is honest.

Best of luck
