My therapist suggested I direct my attention back to some of the anti-depression basics. Getting enough sleep. Eating decently. I haven't been very good about either of those things. I feel tired almost every day, and that leads me to drinking things with caffeine. I hadn't used caffeine for a decade or so, but I started again and have been using more and more of it. And yesterday I wanted a break so I walked over to Jewel, 'just for a walk' and ended up eating a bunch of clearance chocolate. That may have contributed to the headache I had yesterday.

So I'm going to do my best on all that for a week and see how I'm feeling. I'm still tired this morning even though I got to sleep earlier, but I *did* manage to get up and moving more quickly and easily than usual.

They also suggested talking to a psychiatrist again. That means I'd have to find a new PCP (my previous one moved away) and then find a new psychiatrist because I don't actually have one. (I'm glad I have some refills on my brain meds still.) I should deal with that soon, but I might be moving soon and that gives me an easy excuse to not deal with it...
