Hi Noa
I'm bluedog... I haven't babbled with you before so I'm glad to be talking to you!!
I just wanted to let you know that the more depressed I get the less I am able to distingiush between real life and dreams. I am a very vivid dreamer and often wake up from my dreams crying. I think it's a perfectly normal part of the depression.
By the way I called in sick today from work. I've only been back at work for three weeks and already I've had the flu last week (one GP seemed to think my symptoms were psychosomatic but I know better so I gave him the sack...he had the nerve to tell me I might be allergic to work!!) Because it was christmas time all my regular doctors were on holidays
Today I am just miserably depressed and I think it would be counterproductive to go into work in my current state. I think just taking the day off is better for my credibility and my health than going into work late and then being unable to actually do anything but stare at the computer screen.
YES I know that inability to wake up with the alarm VERY WELL indeed and often my alarm will intergrate itself into my dreams so that the alarm can sound for an hour or so and I might simply dream that I'm hearing bells or whatever!!!
Anyway I'm sick of making excuses when I come in late so now I just call in sick when I'm going to be late when I'm really depressed and put up with my feelings of extreme guilt instead!!!
You sound completely normal to me.
Warm regards
bluedog
