Depression Coming On

Guess I should write this at the beginning of my depression. I know I will be lurking here but won't respond as much I bought a used couch...the guy didn't charge for the bed bugs hidden inside. So when they migrated to my other couch and finally my bed I had my apartment professionally treated just for bed bugs. So $400 and 2 months later and they are back! I am in the process of moving and leaving behind my bed and couches. I have bites and they itch...I have scabs all over my body. I hate this. I also hate cold grey wet weather and I use public transportation and sometimes waiting in the cold sure is torture. I am looking for work while my VA benefits to get denied. I am broke from the unsuccessful bug treatment. I also forgot to order my lithium so I have been out 2 days. Have a 5 day wait. I always take my meds so this should be interesting. I do not hate myself, although I do hate the circumstance I find myself in. I have been low energy for a few days now...slept right through my t appointment...sigh

I'm sorry that circumstances have meant that this has come all at once. I'm thinking of you. Keep in touch. Sorry can't offer more than this right now, words are not coming easy today.

sorry things are hard for you. the bed bugs thing is a real PITA. we have them above our office in a rental - you basically have to put your mattress & boxspring in vinyl covers, with the ends duct-taped; throw out your pillow(s); wash all your bedding in hot water; steam clean your carpets; get rid of your cloth furniture; and vacuum daily. not fun. i sincerely sympathize.
re: the lithium, could you get an emergency supply from the ER or samples from your pdoc?

What a weekend. 2 days in bed due depression. Still feel exhausted. But like or not I need to get my life back in order with the move coming up and all. I have spent so much time in this bed I am kind of looking forward to it. I have a male friend who is staying until Christmas...I am starting to rethink that idea. Since seeing him last summer he quit his recovery from pot. Smokes it morning noon and night. Even some mutual friends confronted him and he got all defensive on us. We might have to do the couch hopping with him so no one has the added stress of him the whole time. Apparently he is having a bad time in his marriage wants a separation but does not want to pay child support. This is not like him. He has totally changed since he came back from Iraq. Boy things are a mess. Could use some support right about now.

Sending you vibes of support. Sorry to hear the depression is coming on. And a move to deal with too...bummer. I'll take mania and psychosis any day over the soul-sucking inertia of depression. I agree with 1963.Susan - find an emergency supply of lithium. Can your t suggest where to get some? Know anyone you can bum from?

Good luck dealing with the friend. Keep focusing on what you need to do for you. I'll do my best to send some Texas heat your way, too.

oops... I see you don't need any Texas weather as you've got your own. Still, I'll try to send some slightly warmer winds up from the south.
