OARS Activity

image of Bob's Third Visit

Bob: Maybe lousy is too strong a term, I don’t know anymore. I mean I do feel better when I get out of my apartment these days, even though it’s usually just to go for my daily walk around the building or to a doctor’s appointment but this doesn’t last forever, sometimes only for an hour – it partly depends upon how long it takes before my wife starts nagging me again about my health and all the things I should do, must do, but don’t do. Still, even when she isn’t bothering me, I can’t even seem to concentrate on my favourite TV shows anymore. I seem to have the attention span of a flea so I try to make myself a snack but that usually doesn’t do much because I‘m not very hungry these days. Really I could care less about food. Maybe it’s the meds? And my sleep is also getting screwed up. Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep and I can’t stay asleep very long on other nights. So much for getting better.

Practitioner Response #1: Have you ever been diagnosed with depression before?











    •  

Practitioner Response #2: Since we last met, you and your wife having been having arguing more, you’re having trouble sleeping, concentrating on your favourite TV shows and your appetite is poor.











    •  

Practitioner Response #3: So you are seriously considering building upon your walking regime by starting off with some stretching and you may also experiment with adding some breathing exercise into your day, you’re just not sure where.











    •  

Practitioner Response #4: On the one hand things haven’t been easy since we last met and you’re not feeling as good as you want to but there are still some bright points in your day, at least on those days when you exercise and get out of your apartment.











    •  

Practitioner Response #5: So even with all that’s going on, you’ve still been able to maintain your goal of increasing your daily physical activity level. Once you make your mind up to do something, even if it’s not easy, you can accomplish it.
