So I've finally started seeing a psychologist again, and so far I like him. I've never seen a male for therapy before, so it is a new experience for me.
Anyway. He suggested that right now with being a stay at home mom (SAHM) that I am feeling overwhelmed b/c I do not have a set routine or schedule. I have a basic one, things we do everyday but nothing really solid, it is kinda just as we go. So I've started one, and boy have I over done it! I'm trying to be flexible and if something doesn't work to move things around. I like having a routine, when I was working everything was very structured, the only time that wasn't was after work at home, and even then I had a basic routine. I would get most flustered and anxious when things would go crazy like with big training exercises.
I like having a routine to go by, and am slowly building it up, but am worried that I will go overboard with it. My DH has promised to let me know the moment I get carried away, but it is still a worry.
Also I'm thinking of delaying going back to college till the Spring semester. It has been such a stressor trying to get everything together, and worse since the college staff seems to be taking an extended vacation, I never can get a human on the phone. Plus, if I wait till then I will have been on the meds longer and maybe they will have figured out a combo that will work for me. As it is, with the meds I was taking, my depression got much worse. I don't think I would stick to it as I am right now. I still have to talk to my hubby about it, but I think he will agree. Besides, even if I wait one semester, I'll still get my degree at the same time. This year was to get me ready and used to going to college again.
But I can't help but wonder if I'm just procrastinating and coming up with exuses to delay it. I know these are valid reasons, but I'm awful at putting things off.
