Just checking in on both of you. You both are in my thoughts as I go through my day. I spent today in research and calling doctors, three of them,. not one called back yet. Bummer.
Some times when I am depressed, I also get angry. I get angry at being depressed to begin with, so I try to direct that anger toward something physical I can do. Even if it is only the dishes, or clean the toilet. I mutter to myself, sometimes cuss by myself, other times pray, throw a pillow, tear up my bed, some kind of reslease, then I feel better. I also picture a shelf in my head, a nice wide wooden shelf. On to that shelf I deposit my problems, I write them down list them, and then put them on the shelf. I don't allow myself to look at the shelf all the time. I do take time for it though, to examine a certain about of time. Then I try to move on to some other subject besides the _____ that is on the shelf. It is a trick my psychologist friend taught me to do. I don't know if it can work for you. We are all so very differerent on our emotional make up. I have oceans of emotions, and sometimes I don't know either what to do with them. I care about both of you. Have a peaceful night, sleep well with nothing but good dreams. ginnie
