My therapist prescribed an ENT

He thinks I'm mainly feeling this way because I'm sick and clearly feeling weak physically. It never really occurs to me to see a doctor about a virus, but he convinced me to make an appointment.

Sigh.

They'll make fun of me.

One thing I hate about my therapist is his strong work ethic. He clearly thinks that not only *can* I fulfill my work obligations, but I *should*. He doesn't really seem to understand that I'm not the person I was before I either got old or got diabetes. He doesn't really seem to understand how often I am unwell. And yes, I know that it's partly my responsibility for not eating well and exercising. But no one seems to understand that eating well and exercising requires time and energy that I just don't have while struggling to get through the next deadline, the next day, the next hour.

It's just a catch 22 situation, it seems. I can't do the things I need to do to be able to be well enough to work while I have to finish my work. I can't quit my work because I'll lose my therapist, yet without work I might not need my therapist. And so I go round and round and round and round and round...

Sigh. Actually I do know that other problems would remain if I quit work. I do like to spend. And my husband would keep a pretty strong hand on my time as well as my money if he felt like he was in effect employing me to be a housewife.
