Sorry I've Been MIA

Hey Everyone,


I'm still on the manic side of this ride but can feel some depression breaking through. I think that has to do with my oldest dd. The day I got out of the hospital she had an appointment with pdoc who told her I was responsible for dd's (who is 17) separation anxiety issues. That's been bothering me ever since and it's starting to get the better of me. I'm fighting it with all I have and I'm still on the high side, but like I said, I've got some breakthrough depression going on.


Other than that, I've been working and I went and got rid of my Jeep which was my "toy" that I had wanted since I could remember and got a Toyota 4-Runner. I didn't really want to get rid of my Jeep, but practicality won out. The Jeep only seated 4 and couldn't tow my camper. The 4-Runner seats 5 and can tow my camper. So, I traded the Jeep in. I figure when the kids are grown and have their own vehicles I can always get another Jeep. I like the 4-Runner and have ever since they hit the market so it's not like I got something I didn't like or want.


So that's where I'm at right now. It's cold here in VA. I need a vacation to someplace warm. I hate this cold weather with a passion. We were having such a mild winter and then BAM right out of nowhere we got hit with Old Man Winter with brute force. So I'm ready for Spring and we're not even out of January yet.


Check in and let us know how you all are doing.


Hugs,
Traci

Hi Traci:

I know what you mean about manic with "holes" of depression peaking thru, I kind of feel that wa myself right now. I have a pdoc appt. next Monday to revisit the medication issue.

Your pdoc was out of line. It is outside of her professional capabilities to make assessments/give advice such as what was said concerning DD. I've seen this happen frequently and dont know why. Maybe pdocs just can't help themselves?

I was enjoing a mild winter here where I live as well, and suddenly a few weeks ago we got hit with a blast of cold and its been consistently cold ever since. I run outside and the weather is killing me. I either have to bundle up so that I feel like that little kid in The Christmas Story who can't put his arms down (and who can run like that?) or I run inside on my treadmill which I don't like so much.

I'm completely unmotivated about my work, which is the primary issue on my mind these days. I have had very few new clients recently. The upside is that I've been spending fewer hours in my office and more at home knitting, working out, etc. The downside is, like all of us BPs, "downtime" isn't always the best thing for me. I've been trying to share about it with some people who can either identify, or just know how I am.

I haven't seen my T in a long while, perhaps its time for a check-in? Have a great day, Traci! Love, Mo.
