Day 8
Didn’t get quite as much sleep last night – there was yelling and thumping at about 11PM that woke me up. I was able to get back to sleep and finally woke up at around 6:20AM. Makes for about seven and a half hours of sleep. Not too bad.
My eyes feel like someone poured salty sand into them this morning. Plus, I have a giant pimple on my forehead. Ouch.
Had some nightmares last night – all about work. Need to talk to someone about that I think.
A is my nurse again this morning. That’s good.
Sounds like a lot of people are back from passes. Much louder and more bustle around here this morning.
Another freak-out by that same guy. I must admit that those incidents bother me quite a bit.
Having some bad thoughts. Spoke with A, she was very helpful as always.
Group this morning was about what we wanted to challenge ourselves with this week. I said I’d like to recognize panic attacks sooner so I can stop them.
Feeling pretty down today. Looking forward to J and Mom visiting.
Pollock for lunch. Choked half of it down. Man, I hate fish. I can always ask them to put me on a no-fish diet but I’ll try it for a bit longer.
Group this afternoon was about the KonMari method of organizing. Worth a look!
The guy doing all the yelling lately was transferred out during group. I hope he gets the help he needs.
Supper was veal, mashed potato, peas, and mango pieces for dessert.
Meeting with Dr W went well. He says I need to get the work stuff figured out. I agree.
Feeling quite down.
Evening nurse is P. Seems pretty laid-back.
Had a difficult but very good visit with J and Mom. Spent most of it crying but it was so good to talk and the hugs were very therapeutic. I’m so lucky to have such a supportive family!
Stay safe!
