If your T is good at what she does then it wouldn't take her long to do a baseline assessment. They use so many other things to determine diagnoses other than the talk therapy. My PsyD can actually do a base assessment within 10 mins of meeting someone. I would trust the professional opinion. But if u know how u feel why is it so important to put a name to it?

Nagging doubts and general discontent. I know I'm not at rock bottom, nowhere near, but equally I'm nowhere near OK either. I need something to get me moving again but I don't know what.

My mom has an outpatient surgery scheduled tomorrow morning and she's pretty nervous about it. She's been irritable the past few days. I'm sure it will be fine, I'm just trying to be supportive of her.

Tonight am anxious, was a very difficult day. Depressed and with panic attacks later in the evening. All the prescription are mix and match in my body, there is the pain medicine, the depression medication, the anxiety one, the prevention for cancer recurrence one, all of them + I forgot the radiation treatment are a combo that are not very friendly for my body and mind.

Tomorrow would be a better day, tomorrow might not be a better day, I better stop with the "what if tomorrow ..... " and focus in the present. I would like to rest reading a good book and sleep knowing that in the morning I will have nightmares before I finally wake up, but I am ready, I know what is coming ...

Think I'm coming down with something. Have chills and a fever which comes and goes...no other symptoms.

Mom's surgery went well, and she is sleeping now. They found some kind of growth and they don't know what it is; the doctor did a biopsy and she needs to make an appointment to discuss the results. As for me, I'm tired because her procedure was scheduled very early this morning.

A bad day, dunno why, just an unstoppable tide of misery.

Feel like crap self loathing on high.

Today was my last radiation treatment till next Tuesday. I got 3 days off with out have to drive over there, my oncologist said am going to feel tired still but at least would rest and try to keep my mind busy. I need to cope with this sadness, and high anxiety that now has a trigger. I am going to be done with radiation next Friday. What am I going to do after that ended? I need a job but I can't work before and I can't work now, no even in the next six months.
The pain in my surgery side hurts, am counting in my CBT skills as much as I can ....

It is 7:00 pm CT here and the pain already started so does the anxiety due to the pain killer side effect. I have to find the silver lining.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

I am feeling Ok about myself. Depression is low. Unfortunately, it will rear its ugly head again.

I'm back here after some months. My depression is hitting me hard again and I can't seem to drag myself back up again. I've lost the energy and motivation.

I guess I'm feeling more depressed since I now feel more at home in this section of the site. I have no energy, no motivation, no desire to do anything. Sigh.

It was busier today at work than I thought it would be. Normally on Fridays before a holiday weekend, it tends to be very slow. I spoke with my manager today (he called me unexpectically) to go over a review. I didn't know what he was really talking about. Sounds like some changes are going to be made.

I worked out today. It was very hot and I didn't feel like doing it emotionally. But I did, and I felt like I got hurt a little bit doing it. After that I went to the pool area and it was pretty crowded with a big family. That didn't settle well with me.

Alright I suppose, I said I was going to do the dinner dishes for my mom and then proceeded to lay down and fall asleep till now which is 2 in the morning and they've already been done...so suppose I feel kinda bad about that, didn't mean to fall asleep and not do them.

[dandylin]

Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety.

I feel fat today

....pointless.

Having an impossible time staying out of bed today -- and I'm not even tired

[tigerlily84]

Feeling down. I didn't get the job that I interviewed for. I didn't think that I would, but it's still disappointing. I return to work in a couple of weeks and I'm terrified that I will become complacent again; or worse, that I will tailspin into a deeper depressive episode. I'm convinced that this was a wake up call. I can't work there anymore. I can't waste anymore time. The thought of going back there made me feel horrible again. I'm trying not to feel hopeless but it's really difficult.

[Roxygirl816]

Actually not feeling too bad today. Am out of the house for a change. I just hope this keeps up and I don't go back to my normal depression.
