I don’t know whether or not that this is just a mind over matter thing but I am doing better today. It seems like the additional afternoon dose of Effexor has some carry over effect into the next day. My mood is better but I still don’t have the concentration. The mornings are definitely easier. But that much said, I am still rather depressed and struggling to teach myself web development. I don’t really know how or where to begin because there is just so much. I don’t even know if I should be learning to code from scratch or learning to develop in WordPress.
It might actually be a good thing that I am somewhat bored today. It might mean that I hunger to do something. If web development does not work out, I know I’ve wanted to write a book on open source. Maybe I can start with an outline of that and go from there? I don’t really know.
I think I am also partly doing better today because I have a good social worker that is advocating for me to make things easier. She was assigned as my case worker from Christiana Care Behavioral Health, my mental health provider. Since the nearest bus stop is far away, she is going to get me approved for paratransit so I don’t have to use Uber which gets rather expensive. This was a huge relief. She is also going to look into why Medicare Part B has not been reinstated for me just yet when I’ve paid the premiums.
I am doing well enough that I managed to contact my representative to enlist her and her staff for assistance with Medicare. I don’t hold out much hope that she can assist but the more irons in the fire that I have, the better. I guess now I just have to be patient and see what transpires.
