Hello, everybody.
I see that some of you are still checking the blog, and I’m grateful for that. I wanted to post a quick update regarding my mental and physical health here:
Things are starting to get better after a long time of really struggling with depression.
I’ve been working very hard with my psychologist to find a way out of the ditch, which has been productive, and my psychiatrist upped the dosage of one of my medications when I spoke with her recently.
I’ve still been hampered by heavy anxiety as well as depression, but I’m able to at least get a couple of days a week where I feel like a human being, and that’s progress.
Caring for Aunt Annie has served as good discipline, too, because nobody else is going to do it if I don’t, and so I have to drag my butt out of bed and spend my evenings with her. She’s been really supportive of me as I battle through my symptoms, too, and that’s been of great comfort, and she’s been very supportive of my desire to return to the blog, too.
As far as a timeline for getting back to work is concerned, I miss the job tremendously, and I am hoping to try and get back by the time the NHL Draft hits next Friday. I don’t know whether that’s realistic at this point, but that’s the plan as of this morning.
I know that it’s been a shitty year for me coverage-wise, but dealing with moderate-to-severe anxiety, depression and bipolar 2 = some years are better than others.
I thank you for your support and your time, and, as I continue to place a significant amount of work into my recovery, I hope to get back to work soon.
