> Speaking of thinking too much, I've been reading "Feeling Good" by David Burns, after someone recommended it on one of these boards. I can't remember now who it was, but I'm finding it very helpful! I had no idea that most of my usual modes of thinking were actually the distorted thinking of depression. I think I knew it before, but it crept up on me, especially the self-esteem issues since I've been jobless and penniless.

nope..can't get that book from the library..or Uni library drats..sitting at the computer there now. Maybe I'll look at Amazon, but usually shipping costs are the killer.
Went and got depressed after an endo visit yesterday...no comment about Oz endos! Just felt like giving up..better today. Yesterday also I got really cold(it was nice weather, like amaybe 25C, sunny etc) and started shaking, circulation in hands etc too low..went blue and freezing. Maybe I've let my blood pressure drop too low?. I think I'll need a bloodpressure monitor..just to see if when I get like this, if it has dropped(and the depression is linked in too..probably low oxygen to the brain I suspect).
I can make my blood pressure go from say 90/60 to 128/88 just by adding or lowering salt...wonder if I should be able to change it that much.
Feeling better now anyway..tried some tyrosine this morning..and bought some liquid iron last night..so hope they help. Tyrosine usually raises my blood pressureby 15 pts or so for 500mg.
I know..I'm strange. and I can never work out how much is caused by psychological things..like the bad endo appointment brings on the physical symptoms as well as the depression?..or it is it all just the physical symptoms lowering the brain oxygen availability and that causing the depression...
Cu later..gotta go now(sitting in on a lecture on female reproduction/hormones etc)
Wouldn't it be good if you get both job offers...do you think they would do that?
