Hi omnis! Sending you much love. Good to see your pixels.
Dana, glad you've recognized what's going on. Are you currently seeing a therapist and/or on meds?
Yay for the Beautiful Thing love. "Right! If you don't peel no taters you don't get no tea!"
Yeah, I'm on meds. I don't want to try and adjust them right now, because I feel like I can tell that the depression has an external cause, if that makes any sense. And if the cause is removed, I think I'd be okay.
Anyway, I'll get through the MRI and see what the result of that is.
Good luck with the MRI, Dana. And resolving the external source of depression.
And sometimes you just need some downtime to cope via bad TV.
(I've never seen Animal Cops, and so all I can picture is a live-action Zootopia.)
Sadly not live-action Zootopia. The show's probably not for everyone, since it shows animals in various kinds of distress, but they're almost always rescued and healed, and sometimes people are put in jail, so it's kind of cathartic.
I once watched Pit Bulls and Parolees all night because it made me feel better about where I was...
I do love animal rescue and valiant vet shows, and I make no apologies for that. I've not invested in any new scripted shows--not network shows, at least, for a while. The ones I have, if they survive their first season, I find myself losing interest, and I've been blaming the writing for that. But maybe it's just my lack of investment.
I've got the entire third season of Orphan Black on the dvr, and I just can't work up enough enthusiasm to watch it.
Animal rescue & valiant vets (I heart Dr. Jeff and his crew) and house rehab porn are about my level of engagement right now.
I really need to go grocery shopping, but I just don't feel like it. I can't even blame it on pain anymore -- the past couple days, I really was in too much pain to go out, but today, I'm at a level where it hurts, but I can still do stuff. I just don't want to.
Grocery shopping is just way too many separate steps. I can't get my brain that organized today. I can barely get my brain organized enough to load the dishwasher, because I keep getting distracted between my living room and my kitchen.
I'm sorry, Hil. Being in that much pain is exhausting, even after you're feeling better. Can you order groceries to be delivered?
