Over the next year, to improve your mental health, what 3 improvements would you like to make in your life?

We are already 11 days into 2021. And that nagging feeling of possible problems is still trailing behind me like Pig Pen's dust cloud in the Peanuts comic strip. Everywhere I go, I am anxious, and I cannot put my finger on it. Worse, I am lying about it to those that care about me. I AM FINE. Life is good. Things are going well.

Now’s the Time for a Doctor’s Appointment

December 14, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

My Doctor's appointment for medication management keeps me balanced and able to experience core emotions.

This time, it is for medication management. My Psychiatrist works at a teaching hospital. So, I see her each visit and often I see a new student, too. My Psychiatrist asks if I mind them being a part of my session. She always asks me in the waiting room or in the hall leading to her office. She never asks me in front of the student.

The change triangle has helped me lead a balanced life with depression

The change triangle is becoming my go-to tool helping me to understand what I am feeling. Feelings. And the core emotions I have so fastidiously defended against. I spent 43+ years putting my defenses up so that I would not come in contact with my core emotions. Even now when I do this, the result is me using inhibitory emotions to block my true (core) emotions. The human … [Read more...] about Learning The 3 Parts of My Change Triangle

I’m a Little Nervous This Morning

June 11, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

I am nervous about my appointment with a new Psychiatrist today

Why? I’m still not sure what to say to my new Psychiatrist. And the appointment is less than five hours away. Yes, I have made some notes and collected documents. I have my Aetna Insurance card and my drivers license. In the bathroom, I hung a large cloth bag to collect all my current prescription medication, plus the supplements I am taking.
