Bring on the Rain - Part 5

[SueS]

Good Afternoon-

I went to the doctor today and she uppped my meds. Probably very needed. She feels like since I've had a couple of bouts with depression in the last 5-6 years that I need a longer therapy time. No more 5-6 months. She wants to look at 3-5 years. When we talked about some of my own issues and issues in my marriage pre-A, she asked why I hadn't sought out a doctor's advice then. I told her that I did....twice. Same doctor, but when I wasn't feeling better about things after a few months, I'd gone back to him again. She was upset that he had not suggested any type of therapy or medication then. She said that she knows it wouldn't have been a cure for my M or for my issues overall, but she thinks it would have helped me a lot. She thinks that I'd have had a better handle on life and might have been able to see things more clearly. Hindsight is 20/20, right? She recommended a book for me to read and insisted that I start back with my therapist, seeing her at least once every 2 weeks.

I got the haircut last night! It's even shorter than last time, but it feels good. Got a compliment right away this morning too! That made me feel good.

I pack tonight and take off from work tomorrow to head to my parent's house. Can't wait to see D4. I talked to her this morning. She was being a silly one and as always, she made me smile.

Not much else going on. Work is busy and I'm still trying to organize at home.
