Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Stay safe, everyone.
We're at the airport. Our flight was delayed by 45 minutes. Hopefully it won't be delayed again.

Thrive to spite them
So, I'm kinda in a crisis. This weekend was not good and I ticked off more symptoms of depression but kept telling myself I just need to get to Tuesday and my appointment with my new therapist.
Today I woke up and I just I hit a wall I guess. I called Will. I called Mom. I finally called the doctor's office and I have an emergency appointment with someone at 11. I called hte temp agency and said I had a "medical situation" and couldn't return to work and might not be able to tomorrow.
I managed to do that without crying. I called Mom and cried some more and right now I'm trying not to beat myself , feel guilty, or think worst case scenarios or feel like a failure.
It pisses me off. I was doing well, my whole family talked about how well I'm doing and how stable I was and how happy. And it was not mania or hypo mania. It was stability. I want it back.

I'm sorry you're going through this, askye, but also, it sounds like you are doing every single thing exactly right to help yourself in the immediate, and that's really huge. I hope your 11a appointment is good and you get what you need. Wish I had something actually useful to say. Keeping you in my thoughts.

You're doing so great, askye. The fact that you're here, processing, using your resources, gauging your abilities and responding accordingly is absolutely great.
Yes, it's a setback, but it is not a failure. Keep at the hard work, and hopefully your two professional appointments will get you back pointed the right direction.

100% agreement.
I really think it is awesome you called the temp agency and told them you need to take care of some medical issues.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
askye, what they said; you're doing everything right to take care of yourself. You have a great support system and you're using them. That's amazing and it shows how much progress you really have made.

Absolutely, askye. I know it sucks and it's disheartening, but you are handling this well.
