I made my choice

I don’t do well when overwhelmed with choice.

It took me a few weeks but I have booked my first Pyschologist appointment for next Friday. I chose one that is close to work so I can have sessions straight after work.

This week has been a major week of crisis after crisis in the office and I’ve come out nearly at the end of the week as chill as a cucumber. So yeah the Antidepressants are working like magic and because I’ve had such an easy time going on medication I’ve started to feel a little angry with myself as I should have done this years ago.

Anyway til next time…

Week 4

So it’s been 1 month since I started the antidepressants and tomorrow I start the Metformin.

I’m still yet to decide on a psychologist, but that will be my main task for tomorrow and to book the first appointment.

I’m too big for my old bathroom scales. So I had to order heavy duty ones from a medical supply store.

One step at a time and who knows the result might be me living a normal enjoyable life rather than surviving.

Til next time.

Week 3 / General Health Update

Today is the end of week 3 and my brain is still ticking along better than it used to be.

I went back to the Dr’s last week to formalise a Mental Health Care Plan and to get the results from my blood tests.

  • Prostate is fine
  • Thyroid is fine
  • Iron is fine
  • Liver is not so fine
  • Cholesterol is pretty bad
  • Blood Sugar is pretty bad

So medication for blood sugar starts in 2 weeks, then blood tests 6 weeks after that and then medication for cholesterol.

Busy trying to research Psychologists and planning some improvements.

Til next time.
