It seems that when mid-December rolls around, something goes bad or I get depressed or both. She asks if I have been treated for depression several times for short periods. I reply yes. She asks if I have had several jobs. My answer is yes. She asks about manic episodes. I'm not sure. However, when reflecting on things after I left her office, it seems to me that I'm only depressed in the winter months. My doctor recommended that I take a "break" from working.... go on medical EI and referred me to a psychiatrist. (EI=employment insurance for those who are not familiar with Canada's terms) She also increased my dose of Prozac. So now, I am waiting for the psychiatrist to return my call. I have sat down with husband and discussed the medical EI. Although he wasn't jumping for joy at the idea, he does understand that my health is most important at this time. His biggest concern is the finances. One thing that came out of this discussion is that he has never liked me being paid on a commission basis as it stresses him out not knowing what to expect on my pay. So I will take some time for me... I am going to work on my health, see the psychiatrist, and do some work in the home that I find to be therapeutic. We have to move in the spring so I will go through the basement... sort through and start packing our stuff. That is a mindless activity that will allow my brain time to process things. I will do some Christmas baking and find time to enjoy the holiday season instead of just enduring it. :elf: Wow! What a concept! And, I may end up hanging around here a little bit more. You guys are wonderful. I can't thank you enough for all your support and prayers. It is certainly appreciated... probably more than you will ever know. So thank you all once again and I hope you are all having a wonderful humpday with no meltdowns. :snowman: </p><p></p><p>Kathy</p></blockquote><p></p>
