I have been sleeping so much the last few many days. I think there are several reasons for this. One is that my psychiatrist has me taking my anti-anxiety more than I had been, due to the recent episode of anxiety. Also my anti-anxiety medication is used as a sleep aid and when I wake up at night he wants me to take some then as well. The result is that I feel sleepy all the time. Today with my daughter gone, and with it being a bit chilly out, Minnie (the dog) and I cuddled under blankets and napped away most of the day.
Anna is going to be gone for the rest of the week. My mom is town for a short while and Anna decided to go with mom to her place in Augusta. That should be fun for Anna.
I accidentally slept through my counseling session yesterday. It seems I worried everyone in the office because I always show up. The counselor called and we did a mini session on the phone and rescheduled.
I may be struggling mental health wise and that is the other reason I am sleeping so much. My natural instinct is to sleep whenever I am feeling more than a little depressed. Between having to put my oldest dog to sleep and some issues with my son, and a personal health thing that has cropped up, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and down. Close your eyes if you have a delicate stomach….for whatever reason, when I have a bowel movement I am pooping what appears to be quite a bit of blood. I figure it is probably not a huge problem, but it still makes me worry and the thought of having to go to the doctor for it causes me even more worry. I have been putting off going to the doctor because I honestly hate the thought of what I know the doctor is going to have to do to figure out what is going on.
I have been rather quiet when it comes to blogging the last couple of days because of what all has been on my mind, and I am sort of dreading the rest of the week with no counseling and no Anna to keep me distracted. I think I need to dive into writing some blog posts to pass the time.
Aww Melissa ((hugs)) sounds like it’s going to be a rough week 🙁 Well, not that mine’s going much better! All that positive go-get-er attitude fell out my feet. *sploosh* I hope the blogging helps, and if you want, write a letter to your dog telling him how awesome he is, what you remember, and how much you miss him. Not something you have to post, but maybe it would help allow you to mourn him and not get carried away with the anxiety. I know I do that! (I’m not worried about work… but OMGIHASTODODISHES)

Sacred Ruminations,
I really appreciate your thoughts and good wishes. Things are going better now, at least my attitude about them is better, so that makes them better.
