Sunsets and PCPs

Hooray for sunsets. I am watching the sun set over the hills over Palo Alto right now. Its really special.

A new doctor joined the team today. I got a PCP. Took me a while to find one that was both accepting patients and who I liked. We will call her Dr. W. Today she did my intake. We skipped the physical because we got caught up talking about the illness. She was sympathetic, which was nice, at least a nice sign from a professional. She asked about the PTC and admitted she was out of her depth. Anyway, she should be a good resource. She recommended a psychiatrist in addition to my psychologist. Someone who specializes in mental illness. She said that the stresses of mental illness can be particular. I think I disagree, at least at this stage in my wellness. Yes, I experience some weird symptoms, but honestly, everyone feels off some times, and even pain, like happiness, is made up of basic building blacks. Hurt, exhaustion, loneliness, isolation, depression, fear... I think everyone can relate. Ill go. I dont think drugs are the answer at this point, but who am I not to listen?

Also, I do note that stress shortens the wellness window between brain fogs. But not as much as it once did. Not only that but I am just calming down and working through them now. I got compliments on some of the work I did today in the office. And some of it I did in a brain fog. Helps to just let go of the fear and do what needs to be done.
