Tomorrow morning I have a medication review appointment.

The night time meds still help me sleep but more and more often I have to take a whole tablet instead of half. Nightmares are starting up, again. Well, more like weird, disturbing dreams with lots of the elements of my bad nightmares. Just not as intense.

Daytime I am a wreck. Lately I've been taking a full dose of anti anxiety medicine, instead of a half dose when needed. It's always needed. There is just too much happening. As if the nightmare of having an evil overlord in the White House isn't awful enough, respiratory infections are spreading like crazy. I am back to wearing a mask when ever I go in to a store. There's also been a case of TB at a local school.

Top all of that off with the forecast of snow followed by icy precipitation for Wednesday and Thursday. It's been 11 years since I was exposed to carbon monoxide during a week long power outage but I've never been able to shake the intense, heart pounding anxiety that is triggered by the mere chance of any sort of icy weather.

So I guess this is probably a REALLY good time for an evaluation. I'll post a follow up.

I know how unbelievably stressful everything is right now. I am one of many may DUers who hold you dear, so please share as you need and want and of course, the best therapy for all of ys right now is Merlin's Wizard of Cute photo shoots.
Your photos are out doorway equivalent of the growth pencil etches showing how the babies are growing.
Hugs,
John
