Reset

Wednesday, August 9, 2023

Today is a day of resetting… at least, in theory.

Finally had my doctor’s appointment. Have I mentioned how much I like her? I really liked my last doctor as well, but when I changed jobs (and thus, insurances), I wound up having to change doctors as well. I talk to her once every three months to check in with how my meds and mental state is, to see if there’s needs to be an adjustment. The thing about meds for mental health (or in general), they constantly need to be monitored and adjusted.

When she asked me how things were, I almost burst into tears. I told her about my craptastic summer, how I my ADHD is getting bad and not being able to focus, and how my depression is rearing it’s ugly head again. Not wanting to adjust everything at once, she started with the Adderall and bumped it up. She also is referring me for a psych eval. Oh, joy.

Oh, and I almost forgot the pièce de résistance… I’m now old enough for a mammogram. Happy-happy-joy-joy. Not looking forward to that. However, the moment I said something about not wanting to, my daughter was having none of it. I wasn’t really thinking and forgot about her step-mom’s breast cancer and the hell of the last 4 years. So, I am going to suck it up and get the girls smooshed… for her.

Tomorrow is a new day, with (hopefully) better meds.
