I told my therapist yesterday that I was upset when she said she took a two hour walk with her dog and I can hardly walk two blocks. she said she was glad I told her so she would know. she didn't even say she was sorry. The session went very slowly. I am not getting anything from it. I am eating way too much and feeling sick as a result of the overeating. yesterday I ate whatever was in the refrigerator. I think I have been manic with this eating and spending. She asked what I said to other people and I said I don't remember/
I really don't think she has empathy or knows what depression is

don't think the p.t. knew my limits. that was one of the reasons I stopped.

Bobby

Make sure the P.T. Knows your limits. If this new one doesn't
seem to know your limits keep telling her. Its very much
necessary that she knows them, and that you feel she does.

Just keep remembering you know your body better than anyone
else. And the P.T. should know this.

Donna

you always give me such good advice which seems so obvious once you tell me.
I don't know if I should mention to her how the other p.t. was great but he pushed me too hard and that I am always tired. I guess I will. the tiredness is important.
thank you so much
bobby

I am so depressed. I am scared about tomorrow's p.t. I am always tired and I dread tomorrow that I won't be able to do much. since last time I took it I have gone down hill.I lie in bed a lot and don't feel well. tomorrow morning i go to a social worker who will help me fill out my lease. I no longer have confidence
that I will handle it myself. Then I have to come back for the physical therapy at 12"30. Then maybe when Marci comes we will take a cab and go to the post office to send the lease certified mail. I might wait til she comes on tuesday.
My stomach has been bothering for two days now.My eyes are bothering me.
I am having trouble reading. They are itchy. My dreams have been awful.
I am a mess.
bobby

I am sorry you are upset right now. I know that reading scripture helps you....are you up for that?

i tried last night but my mind was racing

Bobby

First, for the itching eyes try splashing some fresh water on the eyes.

And when you go out, or send Marci out to get something for your eyes.
To put in them, see if that helps on Monday.

Donna

they stopped itching this afternoon. I am almost finished with a delightful book

had four solid good hours of sleep. yesterday was funny. was in the elevator with a highly efficient woman almost my age who does a lot of volunteer work and says she is busier now than when she was working. She asked me how I was and said I looked good. I said fine and told her I liked her hair. then I mentioned my sleep problems. all of a sudden she said four o clock every morning sometimes she reads or watches tv. I said it is awful isn't it.
I lost some more weight. I finished the book. It was splendid. I am hoping my manic period might be over for a while now. I am not depressed or anxious.
