I've had reactive depression in the past, I seem to be sensitive to changes in situations or events and PND. I have opted to use talking and self help therapies.
In the past 6 weeks:
I have been very busy with half term and Halloween - we always do a lot.
Studying OU module, with mini deadlines.
Neglected my diet, been indulgent with the chocs, cakes and wine.
Planned Christmas, got most of presents, done cards and a cake
Attended grandfathers funeral 200 miles away ( felt like a big trip)
I have had an upset tummy (ok might deserve it all the rubbish I've been eating)
My back is quite sore and I'm not sleeping v well, I wake up it's burning sore.
I don't feel on top of things, like uni work will be done by skin of teeth.
I cancelled a visit to a friend this weekend gone.
I dragged my feet putting tree up yesterday.
I feel all the joy and energy I had with planning for Christmas, doing my uni work (not particularly hard) has gone, I feel glum.
So I have a ds(7) and dd(10mnths) that has just started crawling. Dd sleeps through 7 to 7 not much during day and can be clingy.
I have declared no more booze (thanks to another thread) until Xmas.
I'm going back to weight watchers, hopefully my tummy will improve.
I have a walk planned for tomorrow - outdoors fresh air etc.
I have to be up and dressed for school run re children so no 'wallowing'
I'm going out shopping in a bit to get out today.
I have a strange sense of almost like a slight dread towards all the forthcoming plans. I feel sort of not all here. I looked up detached and it said you can feel this way following a bereavement. My grandfather was a big part of my life growing up but has not been for a number of years re distance and I'll health (he was in a home with dementia).
I have a nice life, good standard of living etc.
I'm not sure why I'm posting or what I want to ask. Is there anything I'm missing, perspective maybe, process?
