Medicated depression, day #313
Waiting for callback from health center, as I need to have an appointment with a doctor regarding my sick leave which ends tomorrow, to prolong it with a 50% work load instead of 25% .. or go back to full 100% which would not work.
Read up on my medical journal, there were stuff in there that I hadn't seen before, like seeking dietrist, as the doctor though I need to loose weight, I've already told them what happened and that I'm working on it.
August last year (2023) I got a few set backs, which hit me really bad and I was off-balance, got depressed and started comfort-eating, it spiraled out quickly which led to me gaining weight like crazy, between August and January I gained about 30 kilos, which I have lost most of now almost a year later, I'm still not small but I'm working toward getting most of my extra kilos off anyway. It has been hard to get these kilos off, as I'm low on energy so I have gone for the easy parts, smaller portions, eating mostly keto, skipping sugar and empty calories.
Later: Talked to a nurse about appointment and I got one on Monday, phone-appointment with doctor number five, the previous four has been rotated out as they were rental doctors or they got offers from other health centers.
Let my KC and closest manager know what is up and when, so they are in the loop.
Later: With a low-key head ache I went with son to swim school, stayed with him there until we got picked up by wife. Head ache is mounting, feels like tension head ache, as my neck is sore from tensing up as pain points are around my face and neck. I got like 3 hours of sleep during night and another 2 hours during the day, mostly snoozing so no real sleep, looking to go to bed early.
Also: Nurse called back and changed/re-booked my appointment on monday from a telephone appointment to a real AFK-appointment, in meat-space. As the doctor wanted to see me, maybe because of my curious questions about low levels of testosterone and if they tested it, I mentioned that I would get it tested anyway whether they provide the testing or not, as I have a private clinic down town who provides such services.
I don't feel like going to work tomorrow is going to work out, I'm still punchy and train of thought derails frequently .. so I'll just call in sick.
