> Or at least a curve of some kind. I resemble more of an EKG readout. Mornings are by far my best times - I actually wake up feeling OK. Have been trying to take advantage of that and get as much done around the house as I can - and also to not anticipate any kind of downward slide in the afternoon or evening. Mostly I get filled with a kind of dread, not knowing what kind of PartlyCloudy I will devolve into as the day progresses.

And being back on Prozac, which I can only tolerate every other day because of how jittery it makes me, yet it keeps me from the brink of suicidal depression, is such a fine edge.

> I SO look forward to therapy next week. Can all but picture me falling to my knees in gratitude that we'll be able to resume our regular schedule. I am such a creature of habit, I really derive a lot of comfort from having a weekly (or, if I'm doing "well", every other week) appointments.This is an excellent topic - never really thought about it before. Mornings and nights are the worst for me - since they leave me more free time to 'stew' about my situation. I'm glad to hear you will be getting back to your therapy schedule. There can definitely be a lot of comfort in a consistent schedule.
