Kay,

Re going to Target: I get tremendously agitated around holidays because things are out of routine in terms of traffic patterns and flow of people in the neighborhood and grocery stores, and so on. I ESPECIALLY worry ahead of time about all things medical. Was your Target busy because of Christmas activity or because it is usually busy? I am happy to hear that you got your Lamictal.

I understand about letting some things stay covered. I hope that the therapist is helpful to you this visit. Do you have an appointment that is scheduled for soon after that? For example, if not in Dec, at least the first week of the new year?
When I have been concerned about myself, it helped to know that I only had to get through the next ten days or whatever.

I am very happy to hear that you have a pdoc appt on the 28th. You are doing an
impressive job of monitoring your reactions and your medications.
I hope that you get want you want with regards to transportation to the
substance abuse evaluation. You are doing well handling the obstacle course.
