Depression and Weight IssuesHave you been diagnosed with depression, are possibly on depression medication, and find it affects your weight loss efforts? Post here for support!
I have to go get an EKG and chest X rays tomorrow. I'm waiting on a call from a pulmonologist, for an appointment. I also go back to my Dr in a week. Lots going on here.
I'm putting off having my tests. I detest having to undress. I hate those gowns.
I've started a journal as was suggested to me a long time ago. I don't have the money for a real journal so I'm using a tablet that was Jennifer's in college. It has her handwriting in it and I love it. Makes me feel closer to her.
Elvira and I went for a long drive today. I really love this area. I'm finding places I used hang out in and places I lived in, many years ago.
I hope everyone's bugs have shifted - seems like everyone has been ill lately!
Lisa - I really hope everything is ok with your EKG. Is it just a routine check-up, or is this because of your headache? I'm glad you're settling in well now.
Holly - how did your auction go? Hope you raised lots of cash! And I hope you've survived through the cold snap, it sounded horrendous!
Jessica - sorry you've been sick sending hugs to you for your mum's anniversary. The first is always a really tough day. I hope you can do something special.
We had OH's grans funeral on Monday, it was a good service, although not as many people were able to attend as we expected. It was quite cold though, and I think a some people that knew her will have stayed at home to avoid any risk of falling on ice.
OH keeps going through phases of feeling quite low. It has been a tough few years for us both, I think he has had the worse end of it. I need to think of something to pick him up and give him a bit more to look forward to.
Lisa: I hope your migraines have subsided. Why were you having the EKG, etc.? I am worried that you postponed them. Just want you to stay on top of your health. Please keep us updated. Is your journal for personal feelings or a food diary? I haven't written in a journal for awhile, but it always helps me so much. I hope it helps you, too. So you used to live in Washington? You said you found places you used to hang out in and live in when you went for your drive with Elvira. It sounds like maybe you like the area now? I sure hope so! I so want you to be happy, Lisa!
Holly: We have had some bitter cold temps in Ohio lately, but nothing like -24!!! Holy cow! I think I'd turn into an icicle!!! I'm so glad you have your new-to-you car with those awesome new tires on it to carry you through your rough winter. What is happening with the new owners at your job? I hope all will work out well for you!
Coop: Thank you for the birthday wishes! Sorry to hear that you've been so sick. I hope you are back to 100% by now. That's great that you've lost all of your Christmas weight! I don't think I've managed to do that yet. That must have been tough for your OH at his gran's funeral. Glad it was a nice service, though. Sorry you have both had a rough few years. You deserve a break!
Jessica: I'm sorry to hear that you were so sick for the New Year. I hope you are feeling much better by now. I wish you much success on Weight Watchers! You can do it!!! Many kudos to you for quitting smoking in 2017! That is so awesome!!! Sorry to hear that your therapist of 20 years moved away. That must be very difficult, especially when they are having to adjust your medications. But that is wonderful that you will still be able to have sessions with her via Skype/Webcam. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as the one year anniversary of your mom's death approaches.

No, my headaches are an every day thing. I see a chiropractor in my near future. I'm almost 100% it's my neck. It feels like it needs to crack and my neck muscles burn. I've got so much other crap going on though.
My Dr feels I need some tests. I am still having trouble breathing. It's kind of hard to talk about. I won't put them off for very long. I have to see a specialist too.
My diary isn't a food one, it's personal.
I lived here from 1999 to 2005. My father became very ill so I moved back home to Ohio. I've always loved it here, always, hence my move back to Kennewick in Oct.
I'm really sorry I missed your birthday, Kathleen. I hope brought you many smiles.

My tests are for my breathing, Coop.
I'll tackle my headaches soon, just not now. My plate is full.
I love it here. I have great memories, they make me very happy.

I'm so sorry. I really am. If you could think of something to get your SO involved in would be very good for him.
