What does happen when a psychiatrist (or any other health professional) gets really stressed? Or depressed? What about psychiatrists/health professionals who have mental illnesses? Surely this must happen? So what do they do?um yeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157784238997258919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-43942299963908505662008-01-05T02:43:00.000-05:002008-01-05T02:43:00.000-05:00Yup, clink, half marathon (I've run a full one, ac...Yup, clink, half marathon (I've run a full one, actually... that's a whole other story for another day). i have a post in the works on the subject of bonking - I was out being social for once, so it'll have to wait until later in the weekend :) <BR/><BR/>PS. the mileage doesn't matter, it's the journey of how you completed the mileage.

(Was that 2006? I forget now...) Most of the time, he is a very sweet little kitty... (Remember kitty in a blanket? My mom's ever so gentle way of waking me up in the morning!) Over Christmas, I was at home, and I had to share the bedroom with Tony because we had other family at home too - and he slept curled up next to me most nights. Only one night did he have more of an interest in biting my feet and pouncing on me instead of sleeping! haha<BR/><BR/>I miss his cute furry face!! I got a web cam for Christmas, and I'm hoping that my mom will talk to me on it tomorrow while holding Tony. I want to know what he'll do if he sees me on the webcam - if cats can even "see" computer images!! I think he can since he's followed the mouse around the screen before! I'm most likely going to get him on Sunday, but there is still quite a lot to do in the apartment and I'm beyond exhausted right now from very hard work days and a couple of very early morning appointments.<BR/><BR/>What I would prefer right about now is to have him curl up next to me under our nice warm blanket that Jason's mom made me for Christmas! Can you tell I miss him? haha<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>Carrie :)NeoNurseChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120931307124798416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-40007140592980713382008-01-04T20:13:00.000-05:002008-01-04T20:13:00.000-05:00Rach: You're welcome to think here anytime you lik...Rach: You're welcome to think here anytime you like. Half-marathons? Egad, my limit is ten miles. And I feel miserable afterward whether or not I eat.<BR/><BR/>Neo: Thanks for your offer of a loaner cat.

Sometimes I get panic attacks (and I mean real panic attacks - not just a little anxious) if I have a lot to do and I know my energy-odometer is reading 0. It is very upsetting and very real to me to feel that way. I certainly wish a little sugar water revived me when I feel like that! The thing is, even rest doesn't really help because the more I rest, the more tired and exhausted I feel, and then the more panicky I get. I really had a bad spell of that before Christmas when I got home from Florida.<BR/><BR/>Over New Year's, Jason came over and has been helping me clean up my apartment, which was desperately in need of a major clean up. There is still so much to do, but having him help me is the only way I could do this. Not only does it take a huge part of the load off me, but it also boosts me up emotionally and prevents the "bonk" by knowing that I have someone here to help me and I don't have to do it alone. The reason my apartment hasn't been deep cleaned in over a year (or even cleaned much at all, for that matter) is because I can't muster up the energy to do very much. But now I've gotten the motivation and most of my free time this week has been spent working on this project of finally getting organized. (And going to various appointments, as always!)<BR/><BR/>So anyway - I wish for you all the things you said in your previous post in order to prevent correctional psychiatrist bonk! I would certainly share Tony with you if you need a purring kitty to get you out of it! However, since Tony wouldn't take very well to the big apartment overhaul, he is currently at grandma and grandpop's until hopefully Sunday when we will be finished with the mass bulk of the work!<BR/><BR/>Take care and Happy New Year!<BR/>Carrie :)NeoNurseChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120931307124798416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-49700391986991023702008-01-04T13:06:00.000-05:002008-01-04T13:06:00.000-05:00I'm more than familiar with the concept of bonking...I'm more than familiar with the concept of bonking when it comes to running - particularly because I used to run 1/2 marathons without eating anything... and then wondered why I felt so darn miserable afterwards.<BR/><BR/>But hmmmm... bonking at work.

On this side of the pond bonking is usually used as a colloquialism for sex. The first sentence of your article provoked some very bizarre imagery. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to lower the tone of your excellent post.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747497695567982118noreply@blogger.com
