Talked to tdoc
 

Hi,

Tdoc and I had a phone session this afternoon. I told her that sitting in the sun 15-40 minutes for two or three days a week since the second week of December has greatly lessoned my anxiety. We spoke about how I am dealing with everyone in my life differently now that I have less anxiety.

I told her about the years of horrible sleep paralysis back before I knew what it was. She said she knew about it but I could tell that she didn't know how frightening it could be until I told her today. She asked if I thought that was related to my fear of going to bed. I told her it was only one small part of the problem.

I asked her if she could give me ideas on how to meditate with my eyes open. She told me to
1 Relax
2 Slow my breathing
3 Find a spot on the wall across the room to focus on . . .
(In other words --- meditate the same way)
I can do that.

This sounds like a good session.
How do you feel about it?
I am glad that you have less anxiety and that you are able to sit out in the sun. Can I gently ask you if you have had your vit d levels checked?
((((HUGS))))

Dear Bizi,

In Oct 2010 I tested low:
Reference Range: 20-100
Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total 13L

I was retested June 2011 but did not get the results. I see the mdoc in two weeks in early February and will talk about the results with her when I see her. From what I read on line, I cannot take lots of oral D3 because it could interfere with my Verapamil. I think it is best to get my D3 from the sun.

Hi Mari. Yes. Try to get as much sleep is you can. For us who have anxiety,sleep is our friend. BF:hug::hug::hug:

I wonder if there is a relationship between the shorten days and insomnia?
Feels like I need to be awake, sleep just will not come. For the last two weeks now really messed up patterns. Sometimes passing out at 9 pm, only to get up 1 AM....
I think a week on a warm sandy beach soaking up rays would refill me. lol.
Hope the patterns lets up for you and feel refuled soon.
Hugs

I am sorry Di, that you have sleep issues too.
I wish you both would sleep better.

DENTIST TUESDAY: How much Klonopin?
 

Hi,

I have a dentist appointment from 2:00 to 3:00.

Klonopin questions:
1. When should I take Klonopin of for this? Twelve noon? Twelve thirty?

2. How much should I take? I do not remember how much I took last time.
0.5 does not seem like enough. 0.75 might be more than enough and might make me sleepy the rest of the day. (Usually I take one dose every 24 hours -- 2.5 mgs at nighttime.)
I have work to do when I get home from the appt -- it is a few hours of mindless work that requires lots of focus.
