But I am so sorry to hear you're depressed, Rainbow. Thank the Universe your pdoc is on top of things.  |
And at least med tired you have a chance at sleep. Sometimes it's sleeping 12 hours and bam, that's 12 hours you didn't have to deal with being awake!

The case manager from the personal injury law firm phoned me. This is the first call from them since I signed up with them more than a month ago. I sure hope the other driver is well insured. They were given a ticket “failed to yield right of way” by the policeman. This helps my case. My depression goes up and down, but with some effort, I remain functional. My dog is snoring again, she belched a couple days ago, and it has been awhile since she farted. Now aren’t these good examples of a dog with talent? 
Lately I have been feeling an oncoming manic episode. I now have to be very careful now. I can spend on impulse, which can better be considered a compulsion. Past episodes cost me allot of money, that which I will never recover from. So one thing I am doing is to constantly check my bank balances. Another is a purchase requirements list that details the conditions that have to be met before a purchase is made. I am a little scared about finding myself increasing my debt that I cannot realistically pay down. I never want to go bankrupt. As it is, I will have to work the rest of my life to pay off what I already owe now. So this helps too in keeping me from spending more money. |
I'm glad you're at work doing better! Your dog sounds classy
I hope you don't go full manic, maybe a med change/increase may help?

Today we pick out paint colors for our house interior. I also need to study Czech in preparation for my class this week. I also finally see my new psychiatrist here, after not seeing one for four months. I hope it works out with her. |
Ah, I too have done the "running down a steep hill and wiping out" thing while manic. In public. So embarrassing. I didn't get quite as hurt as you though, just some scrapes and bruises.

Oh well. It is what it is. This will end.

Did you manage to get some more sleep? I sure hope so!
