Therapy Session in New Diary

I had a doctor’s appointment today. My case manager from Healthways came and picked me up around 9. We went to the hospital. I had my ears flushed. They also set me up for a hearing test at on the 2nd,. Then we went to Healthways. I saw my therapist. We had a nice session.

I talked about the cook out we went to yesterday. I said I spent all afternoon in the community room. I also said that was the longest I’ve been out of my apartment in ages. She asked if I talked with anyone. I said hello to a couple of people. I said I did feel a little bit nervous but I had a good time. Fiancé played music and I enjoyed the music and the food. I t was telling my therapist about how my fiancé did all the work for the cook out. She seemed kind of impressed with that

She asked about the level of my depression and anxiety. I said both were very high I told her about screwing up my old computer. I explained how thqt happened. I said I got another computer from Rent A Center and that is going to cost me $109.00 a month. I said I felt very bad about screwing up my computer. I didn’t have any payments. I was going to get out and have fun. she said well things happen. Yes, things happen,.

I said what depressed me the most was losing access to my books. I told her about how I am going to buy a NOOK next month. I said total cost of that will be around $123.00 We talked about finances. I said I have enough for food and the bills . She asked what I intend to give up. I said bus passes. I said I’m not g ‘oing to go out to eat or order pizza She said that would be helpful.

Therapist told me that this is only going to be for one month,. I can get through it. I will have a very tight month but the bills will be paid and I will have enough money for food and meds. She said once I have the NOOK up and running I should be able to access my books. She asked what I can do in the meantime. I said I have the Internet and tv. I can watch a lot of tv till I get my check.

Then she asked if I still see my doctor. I said yes. I said the meds are working I started taking the Luvox in the evening. I don’t feel so tired and sleepy in the morning.

That was about it with my therapy session. I had a good session. I must be doing pretty good with the depression and anxiety department. I only have to see her once a month from mow on,

Well, I got out It was good to get out. I’m glad I got my ears flushed. I can hear a little bit better. I am hoping that I might be able to get a hearing aid in the near future and that would be great.
