I have got a letter from my GP. My "iron storage" is on it's way to be filled up again, but I shall continue to eat iron-pills. This means that I will slowly get more and more to think with. Without hemoglobin it is difficult to function properly and think clearly.

I am far behind with the work in my home, and behind with other important topics I usually burn for.

I already have a flexible weekly schedule where I have made place for having a balance between rest and work, physical and psychological training, healthy eating and more. But I haven't been able to use it the last weeks because of the situation with low hemoglobin and because I was trying to help somebody else. I think that is not wise when one is not feeling well because it is so energy draining. I will be more clever with setting boundaries around myself when low in energy. I will not let myself be used ...

I use a program which I have made myself where I have included some stuff from the CBT model and some stuff from my own former experiences and more. I am hopeful in my own capacity to be able to use my program again. But I think that in the beginning I have to walk in a slower tact than usual.

I send flowers to all who struggles on this thread:

This day I have worked in short time periods. I have been quick in my movements and have done the following: De-cluttered the living room, washed cloths, done the dishes and been at the grocery-store. In addition I bought Take away.

After dinner I have had a relaxed time with a book and enjoyed every minute of it. I have only used TV for the news (and watched Netflix in the pauses between each "work time period").

I think the letter from my GP about that my "iron storage" is about to be filled up again has given me some motivation.

I had a difficult day today. I was very tired. I took a nap and slept through my med appointment. I meant to get up in time. But I was exhausted. I slept 7 hours last night but it wasn't good sleep.

Today is horrible. I cannot do anything. I wish I could just fall asleep for a long time.

I feel you, Today is also bad day, I did try to read something interesting but still doesn’t stick in my head. I’m 47 now and I feel lost. But I have some level of hope friend and I think if we keep that believing candle lit we will somehow get better though takes time. We won the lottery backwards with all the crap we are living but somehow we will survive it. Not my place to say , I do wish you all and you the best for 2023. Lots of love and hugs to all wherever you are.

I'm lazy today. Tomorrow I have two appointments for follow-up on my sore eye. I'm glad to be out of my recent depressive episode. Now I need to get stuff done.

I got to my 2 appointments. My eye is better than it was. I've seen 3 doctors about my eye. Dr. #1 and Dr. #2 each prescribed eyedrops. Today, Dr. #3 told me that both of those eyedrops probably made my eye worse. She told me to get plain lubricant drops with no preservative and use that liberally. I did some research. Ophthamalogists now say that antibiotic and steroid eyedrops shouldn't be ordered near as often as they are, and they often do more harm than good.

I went to the post office. I made a good supper. I'm happy my car is running good, having just spent $1,600 on repairs. I'm out of that depressive tailspin. One way I know is because I'm softly singing to myself a lot. I'll probably sleep good tonight. So I'm satisfied. I must get this place picked up better.

This day is halfway over as of now. I went shopping early this morning. When I got home I realized I forgot a couple of important items so I had to go out again to get them. I was not happy about it. Lately I've been feeling OK for the most part but at times I get hit with some depression and worrying in my mind.

My friend had outpatient surgery yesterday. I haven't heard from him all day yesterday and today so far. I called last night and his wife answered saying he went to bed early and in pain. I hope he's alright. I'm worried. For some reason, I didn't think it was a good idea for him to have that surgery. It's a Cochlear Implant for his ear. I personally don't know about that procedure. I told him that I was skeptical about it but he was gun-ho about having it done. Well, what do I know? I'm not knowledgeable about this and it's his life.

I've been having pretty bad depression and anxiety. It's really hard.

I've been having comfortable depression. It sure beats the kind I recently had, while I was in a specific depressive episode. Those "tailspins," as I call them, are horrid and come with real mental pain. This, right now, comes with apathy - I'm content to do nothing. Lazy.

I'm about to eat lunch. Then I'll clean the kitchen. Anything I accomplish makes me feel so much better.

My friend left me a message tonight saying that he's going to bed early and not able to talk because he doesn't feel well. I wished we could have talked more this afternoon. I hope he'll feel better tomorrow. He's old and not in the greatest shape, so I think the recovery is going to take a while. I'll feel bad if he passes away. My mind works that way. I'm feeling very depressed tonight. He's the only friend I have.
