My sleep doctor agreed to try, despite what his nurse said (which is twice now a doctor has been nicer than his nurse said he would be, which is good to try to remember).
My therapist thought I would find it therapeutic to get some of the anger I was directing at myself out at the insurance company. But when I said no, he offered to do it himself, which was also nice although I wouldn't ask him to.
He wants to see me again tomorrow although I've done nothing but sleep since I got home from today. That'll make it four times again this week, and I'll have to remember to remind him he doesn't like me much more than three hours a week.
I've read your thoughtful replies and have taken them in and appreciate them. I just need to wake up a bit. Or maybe I need to sleep a bit more.
I told my therapist yesterday that if I could just get a short break on bad things raining down on me, I could probably pull myself together. Or maybe if I weren't sick all this wouldn't bother me so much. But it's my standard to go spiraling down when the stuff coming in exceeds my abilities to cope. It's so hard when I feel bad to remember those things, or to remember not feeling bad.
I've made an appt with my pdoc for tomorrow. My therapist would like me to give AD's another try (when I asked). He said I could always quit if they didn't suit. Apparently he doesn't get horrible withdrawals from even the shortest AD use. Lucky man. I haven't decided yet.
