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. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

AdjustmentDisorder 5h

Got paid so I treated myself to a nice dinner

I was craving a jr bacon cheeseburger and fries from Wendy's so I treated myself to a delicious meal. I also got a cookie and pineapple mango lemonade. It really cheered me up. I'm not really very down but I'm a little melancholy. I had a decent day today. I guess I'm just kinda dealing with FOMO tonight cuz my girlfriend is camping with her other boyfriend this weekend. She won't have signal there so I'll just have to wait for her to get home. It's ok. But when she has her daughter we usually video chat and I get to talk to them both and make funny faces and show off my plushies. Oh well. Next weekend we'll video chat. I'm gonna focus on cleaning my bedroom tomorrow. And Sunday I'm gonna go for a walk.

I'm dealing with a flare up of my #AdjustmentDisorder but it's mild. I didn't go manic this time. I'm trying to distract myself from the test results. But it's not easy. I've got an appointment scheduled for Thursday to discuss the results. I just gotta get through the next week.

I gotta pay attention better

So I've been constipated again. I hadn't had a BM since last Saturday. I drank one dose of miralax last night and 2 more today. I finally had a small BM about a half hour ago and my tummy feels better. I feel like I blinked and a week went by. I gotta try to get better at drinking miralax every night. I keep forgetting.

My doctor asked how the constipation was going and I explained how miralax is expensive but my insurance covers PEG. So he wrote a script and this week I got 2 big bottles. So I have enough for at least a month. But that's if I just take one dose per day. My doctor wants me to take 2.

Yesterday was a dumpster fire day. But today is going good so far. It's going by very slow though. My girlfriend is going camping with her husband and boyfriend tonight. The boyfriend has been freaking out thinking I'm gonna pursue a sexual relationship with her. Yesterday I explained that I am a homosexual/panromantic gay man with sexual aversion disorder with sexual repulsion. I think I finally got through to him. Time will tell.
