The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel.

Pain finally stopped

I took a whole 5mg Norco and 3 aspirin about 2 hours ago and my back feels much better. I also took an eletriptan for my migraine and my head feels better. My eyes are very sore from focusing so much. The double vision has been bad since last night.

Next week I've got to go to Binsons at noon to get my compression socks. When we're done, we're gonna see if there are any restaurants nearby to have a date before going home. I have therapy at 3pm on Monday. We've been focusing on my current depression and anhedonia.

Everyone who knows me for my passion knows I'm really not ok right now. I feel somewhat better after going out to lunch with my peer specialist on Wednesday. But yesterday when my QPP cancelled our dinner date I was very sad. Today went well so I feel ok mostly.

Tomorrow... I'm worried. The last time I went I was in so much pain from walking for only 12 minutes. I'm gonna take a 5mg Norco an hour before we leave. I didn't hurt my back this week like I did last time. I should be ok.
