PSYCHOLOGIST
Just wanted to let you know that I did go to a psychologist several times about various issues. I also spoke to my doctor a few years ago about being weepy. She didn’t think there was any problem. I guess I should have mentioned it to her again. I am not sure what to do at this stage as we just went to her and everything went well.
I think this is something I will try to do myself at least until I return from Florida. Then if I still have the same problem I will definitely ask to see a psychiatrist.
I don’t know why I am not content.
I don’t know why I am only happy when I’m busy. When I have nothing to do at home I usually have a nap.
Not taking the grandchildren gives me more free time. It is good and bad. Good because I don’t want to take them anymore. I just don’t have the energy. Bad because I have more free time.
I don’t know why I just don’t sit and read.
Tomorrow I may get a jigsaw puzzle as I enjoy doing them. It’s just now that our house is up for sale I am not sure where to keep it. Maybe I’ll buy something to roll it up in. There is a special jigsaw puzzle store that I might go to tomorrow.
My son was here last night for supper. I’m so glad that I called to invite him for supper. Otherwise he would have been alone. He is so miserable in his job. I hope the month passes quickly for him.
I called the gynechologist yesterday. I can’t get an appointment until May. I hung up without making an appointment but guess I’ll call back and make one. At least until I can find another doctor who is not so busy.
So I am up in the middle of the night once again. My cold is much better. My body is still achy.
Think I’ll organize some papers and read some magazines.
Good night.
You might miss the grandchildren after a while and want to watch them again. Who knows. As it is there is nothing wrong with not wanting to watch them. Especially if they aren’t really spending time with you, but rather doing things alone on their own. They could do that at home. Maybe after a bit they will realise they were taking their time with you for granted.

You could probably get a prescription for an antidepressant if your doctor thinks it would help but honestly I do not believe in all that. I truly think you have to make yourself happy. You saw what I wrote about my dad, he was miserable all his life because he hated his job, when he wasn’t working he was a very happy guy. There is nothing wrong with keeping yourself busy, but it should be something that gives you pleasure and you are passionate about. It sounds to me that you have not found that thing yet that makes you truly happy. When you do, your life will change dramatically!

Honestly I don’t think there is anything wrong with feeling sad sometimes. People have good and bad days. Also, I’d argue most people get depressed or unhappy if they don’t have anything to do. What’s the point of doing nothing? Doing things gives life purpose. Not doing things is what shortens life I think…

I think a psychiatrist would be more help than a psychologist in this case. hugs P

That is ridiculous not to be able to get an appt until May! I would find another doctor too.

Your GYN sounds like mine! I swear if it wasn’t for the fact he’s considering surgery for me I would probably still be waiting on an appointment! Hope your spirits are lifted soon!

I think you need some rest. You then can decide how severe this mood of yours is. It could be that you just need to make a few changes. You rest and after awhile you might decide to see your grandchildren on occasion. First you have to get you to feeling better. Love,

I so often hear that happiness comes from helping others.. from making other people happy. Maybe you could volunteer to help people less fortunate than yourself. I hope you find something to help you.. Hugs,
