Please briefly describe your diagnosis/status GAD
How is your week going? Pretty good. Much better than last. I have a day off tomorrow to help BF starting moving and to celebrate SD6 turn 7. It's her birthday tomorrow. I have a meeting with my boss this afternoon - they always stress me out, but I'll be okay. It's basically just a status meeting on projects.
Any struggles or accomplishments that you would like to share? I'm struggling with anger towards BF's ex wife. She's put him in danger last week, the kids are all confused because they haven't seen their mom since due to the protective order, and all of this is costing/will cost a mint in lawyer/court costs. All because she's got a mental illness, isn't being treated, and cannot adjust to change. She needs treatment so badly, but refuses. I'm angry and sad for her at the same time. Her irrational and impulsive behavior is the result of refusing to be treated. BF is thinking it's not over either because when she is under a lot of stress, she "snaps" like she did last week. In the meantime, he's watching his back, making sure all the doors are locked, and is being hypervigilant about his surroundings. The whole situation is frustrating and sad.
Any changes in medications or recent appointments? No changes. I have appts next week with both the psychiatrist (checkup about meds) and the psychologist for therapy. Meds are working. No real side effects that I can tell other than being drowsy and falling asleep around 9 pm each night, which I guess it's what I'm SUPPOSED to do. Get some sleep.
GTKY: Did you go to college? If so, what did you major in? If not, what did you decide to do instead? Yes. Majored in Biology. Then went to grad school and got a degree in Microbiology and Immunology.
