It’s not even 10:30 AM, and I am feeling depressed and anxious. I couldn’t go on my morning walk/run, and I have a UTI. I am on antibiotics for it, but they are not working yet. I have a fever and am tired and had a panic attack, probably at not being able to exercise, even though the doctor chewed me out about my weight yesterday. I apparently have a BMI of 17, which he said is significantly underweight, and that I need to cut back on the exercise (as if I don’t know that already). Stupid ED was happy at the drop in weight. I am not sure if I will mention it to my pdoc or not tomorrow. I called and got my pdoc appointment tomorrow changed to a phone appointment. He does phone appts. for up to 3 visits before you have to go back in person; it is your choice though.

I am depressed today, especially over our finances, anxious too. I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning, and I slept 11 hours. I wished last night I could just go to sleep and not wake up. Not suidical really, just wishing for a natural occurrence I want to go back to bed and probably will after lunch.

You are going through a lot lately. Be kind to yourself.

I'm sorry. That sounds like a lot of stress. btw, it has been my experience that UTI's and stress play off each other to the point at which panic will sometimes occur.
Take it easy, take it easy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

It might take a few days to notice a difference. Like the others say, be kind to yourself, get some rest and recover soon!

Thanks. I have had low-grade fevers off and on all day. One minute, I’m pulling on my husband’s sweater that I have confiscated as my own, covering my legs, and the next minute trying to get out of everything making me hot and cool down. I had to take some Tylenol to get me through the morning because I forgot an ingredient grocery shopping that would take my husband eons to find at Super-Walmart.

My daughter starts school on Wednesday, August 15, kind of early even for here. My husband starts work again on Monday (he teaches high school physics), but he won’t get students until the following Monday. I am not sure exactly why my daughter’s district is starting the school year so soon.

I was a bit productive and managed to send off emails to my daughter’s two main teachers - math and science and language arts/social studies. We got the welcome postcard from her homeroom teacher, but her 2 teachers are easy to figure out from the school staff page. She is in the Spanish/English dual language program, and only 2 of the teachers listed have 5th grade dual language written under her name.

The pediatrician does think my daughter has some sort of sensory processing disorder but says she is too high functioning to get her on 504, which would be a battle because my husband has never thought she needed to be 504, that she is just “quirky”. I do think she needs occupational therapy with her noise issues, but as we cannot afford it, it really is not an issue at the moment. I might email the counselor to have a talk with her about my daughter and hear her suggestions.
