enough already

I'm so over this. Enough is enough.

I hear ya on that one! But it never seems to end.

I'm sorry. Are you OK?

I feel that way today! It feels like I'm at the very bottom of a bottomless pit (I know, not possible), but just keep thinking that at SOME point things have to turn around because there is no possible way of getting worse.

I'm not sure what's going on for you, but I'm here....just like you have been for me and many others.

I second that Grizmom. Hang in there!

Hey Grizmom,
Sorry you're feeling so low. Hope you're getting enough sleep. You are strong, and a great source of inspiration to many here.
Keep your chin up and know you just have to ride it out - there's a light at the end of the tunnel. This will not last eternally.
I hope you can speak to your pdoc soon and ask for help. I really believe we do not have to experience these immense slumps, and that the correct med combo can make this a whole lot less painful for us.
I'm just a PM or e-mail away - hang in there girl!!

(((((((Grizmom))))))) Please know that things will get better. We are here to listen if you ever need to talk.

(((grizmom))) your the best! Hope things start looking up for you soon! Hang in there because this will pass!

No, not really, but thank you everyone for the replies. Not in crisis though.

Sending you a hug.

Hey Grizmom - please check in some time. It's really quite comforting to come onto PC and just chat about things; it was invaluable to me a few days ago. Thinking of you!

Thanks everyone! I had yesterday and today to relax and catch up on housework so I'm feeling better tonight. I had a very long, frustrating week full of mania, mixed episodes, a lack of sleep and a rough therapy session (trauma issues) which brought on flashbacks and more nightmares. I was extremely irritable which is why I mostly stayed away; I didn't want to go off on someone here for spelling a word wrong or something LOL. I'm still a bit irritable and tired but my mood seems to have stabalized for the most part. I start with my new pdoc in less than 2 weeks, but I don't think a med overhaul will be needed; I think a lot of this was from stress. I was trying to do too many things and I need to cut back a bit. New T, new support group, new friend, sessions with my peer support specialist, plus the added fun of having several dentist appointments to get my cavities filled (after you read this post - GO FLOSS!! ). So I went from staying home almost all the time to going out 3 or more times a week and it was overload.

Thanks again for the concern and support. You are all great people!

GLAD UR FEELING BETTER!!!!

Welcome back. It's totally acceptable and understandable to take a few days out and just step back a bit.
I ironically can find that coming to PC can trigger me. The love, care and support shown here is "virtual" and does not exist in my real life, so at times I need to avoid it too.
I hope the new pdoc will be on the same page as you - I'm still on the fence with regards to what I'm going to do about mine

If you need to chat, feel free to bounce things off me. I know what it's like to have too much on your plate - unfortunately we all just need to learn to prioritise, and if we have to let someone down, we know it's a calculated and logical decision.

glad your feeling more yourself Grizmom! I can imagine how your feeling lately. The t sessions are going to be hard and I wish you the best of luck going through them. (((GRIZMOM)))

Thanks...I have an appointment with him on Monday and I'm really nervous about going. I'm totally embarrassed that I had a flashback/anxiety attack during a session and had to dig out my anti-anxiety meds. Makes me feel VERY weak and like a complete idiot. I'm scared to go back.

I am thinking of you.

let us know how it goes today! thinking of you also! ((((grizmom))))

It went well! He's really nice and I had no reason to worry. We stuck to safe topics for today. Thanks for the concern and support!!
