Things have been exceptionally dark for the last several months, and
quite dark over the last few days. Today, during the session with my
psychiatrist, I finally broke down. It's been too much.
My psychiatrist wrote a note excusing me from work for the next week.
That is a blessing. She also told me to bring to her the disability
paperwork next week, and she will sign it. She will only sign
disability for one month at a time, but one month of reprieve from the
awful conditions at work... will feel like a lifetime.
And so it is, today I celebrate. I bought a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and
am enjoying it with Marcus, one of my three. I will likely be put on a
heavier dose of medication, and I think I'm ready for that. All in
all, it's been a good day, and it looks like it might be a brighter
tomorrow.
