Okay-so the day went by fine. I got my cinnamon bread made this morning-cant live without it as it is about my favorite comfort food! I left the house at about 1:30 to catch the bus going over to Parkside, and then jumped on the next one that was going on down to Central ave and 40th street. It worked out very well and I got to my first appointment early on. My psychiatrist stepped up my medication again since I know I am not on an even keel yet as I should be. So tomorrow I start my new dosage and well see what happens. After seeing her, I then saw my psychologist Melissa who I liked very very well. She was talking to me about my problems related to OCD and how to manage it better and break more rituals. She handed me a couple of worksheets as a homework assignment for our next visit so well have something to work and improve on. And then she said I needed to go home and play some happy music on the radio-and get into the power of positive thinking. Melissa also said she wanted me to plan an event each week to look forward to so I can stay more upbeat and away from depression issues. She was quite concerned about those feelings of mine. And she also told me to keep working toward disability-not to lose hope. The group at Suncoast feels there is no reason I should not get it-but it all needs to be clearly written in my files more than once. This is what SSA is after. So that was it. I was walking down to get a bus after all of this and along comes Teresa Nixon offering me a ride home-thanks Teresa-I really appreciated it! Pat called me while I was out and I know she wants me to come and visit tomorrow for a little bit-so Ill squeeze it in to my schedule. Her cleaning lady will bring me back home-so that helps as the bus takes a while getting back. Before seeing her though, I need to go out and grab a few items at the store in the morning. I am out of fruits and vegetables and need some other produce. Produce is really part of my comfort foods-especially apples for some reason. They satisfy all of my cravings!
