This stress is horrible. I'm so overwhelmed with all of the mundane tasks of my day. I wish I could sleep all day.

I'm so overwhelmed! This stress is really wearing on me.

Last night I took a bunch of gabapentin and a handful of cogentin because I can't handle my life right now. I woke up today so drugged out I could barely walk and I was slurring. I can't handle stupid daily functions.

I was writing in my journal the other night and came to the realization that the way I've been feeling lately can't be normal and that something is obviously wrong.

I don't know. How do you guys handle stress?

For those who don't know, my pdoc is weaning me off of lamictal right now for some stupid reason. I think it's just because she doesn't like lamictal and just loves depakote and I can't take both at the same time. This way stressed out/depressed feeling happened a few days after my dose of lamictal was cut down 50mg. Coincidence?

I spent a few days just pissed off too and throwing **** around and then crying, and then getting angry about whatever and throwing more **** around, and then crying again. One day at work I became so enraged I actually started throwing things at my job and swearing. Luckily I work alone, but I think my boss may have heard me. So now I'm sure she's telling everyone about my tantrum.

Maybe I don't care though. Everyone knows I have problems anyway.

I bet anything it's you coming off the Lamictal. Did you fight your doctor about weaning off of it.? I'm sorry you are so stressed. Hang in there.
