Hi,
Tomorrow the gym and the sauna will be open. so I will go even though exercise does not seem to immediately help with depression -- maybe it "kicks in" later or is accumulative like meds. Sometimes the gym makes me feel much worse in the short term -- like the beach did today.

I'm worried about medical issues.

For one -- I recently made an appointment to see a sleep specialist for a consult about possible sleep apnea. (My pdoc referred me because I had been gaining weight.)

Whenever I see a new doc, I run over in my mind details about my history and questions I have. This "mind running" can trigger depression and anxiety.

I want the neuro to be able to answer some questions for me. I want him to be very good at his job.
That is a reasonable want.

Maybe I should check him off my list and stop worrying.
Maybe I can convince myself that my apointment with him will go well, he can help me, and that he is a near genius.

And maybe I can do the same thing with other things I am worrying about.
Maybe I can check them off as already taken care of.

Done. Move on. It will work out.

Mari
