katrisimsWell, so, another week over. This week, there's been a real life development, I'll babble some under the cut.
So, yeah. I'm noticing it feels a bit difficult to write this down, but here goes. This winter, I've been seeing a doctor about my mood and energy levels (which haven't been too great for a long time, basically, since the burn-out), and it seems that the answer is mild depression.
When the topic first came up, the thought of getting a diagnosis felt a bit scary, but then it started feeling like an explanation. So now that it really seems to be the case, I feel relieved, even hopeful. I've been taken seriously, I've been told it's a real issue and I'm not imagining it; now it's known what it is, and even though it takes time, I'm already doing something that should help.
I've been on mild meds for a couple days now (therapy will be looked into, too), and while it's too early to say whether they help, it seems at least I'm not allergic to them, which is good. I might have some slight dizziness, but all in all, so far so good.
So that's what's been up. At the moment, I'm feeling hopeful that with the right treatment, I could get some energy and concentration back. And that, well that'd be pretty great. It's a long road, but one step at a time.
On the simming side of things, I did manage a bit of progress today. I continued with the building, and managed to complete set number... four? I think. I moved onto number five(?), and I think I've got the structure down pretty much. This one's not a big one, either, so maybe a session or two to finish it, depending on concentration and so.
So a little bit of progress again, which is nice. This coming week I'm on vacation and have no particular plans, I'm hoping to take it easy and maybe sim a bit if concentration allows. We'll see how that goes.
