Hi folks.......nice to "see" y'all again, I've been sleeping for most of the last 36 hours thanks to a little dose of Norwalk that I picked up at work. It's the stomach virus that gets large numbers of people sick in very little time (think cruise ships) and just slaps you flat. Been waking up just long enough to run to the bathroom. I feel better tonight but still having some symptoms. Hey, at least I'll lose a few pounds.....

Can't sleep. Manic all day again. Too much caffeine. DW tells me not to but I do. Stressful at work again. Coworker drama sucks. Midnight...I'm cold. No socks.

It sucks, but you gotta cut out that caffeine, Gary! I might as well throw my bipolar meds out the window if I use caffeine, just can't handle it at all.
Coworker drama is a major pain, I agree--I've been able to change shifts and finally escape that. My heart goes out to you. (Also to your cold feet ... ah, yes, women & their purses, which can carry spare everything!!.) |

I am geared up for tomorrow. It's my last full day in Floriduh
 Meeting a friend for lunch and I bet talking for HOURS !  Then a later dinner with all the kids, followed by tearful sobbing goodbyes.. * sigh* It's Okay. It has been a amazing trip. I have done way to much physically and will certainly crash once back home in the cold. Is it worth it ? Hell Yes !

I'm alright. I've been feeling weepy, but I'm not depressed, so I have no idea why.
I have an interview on Monday, so I'm starting to get nervous about it. I'm sure I'll do fine though. |

Weepies could be little nibbles of stress ... society around us is agitated this time of year, and upcoming interview is some pressure regardless
 Try deep breathing & go with the flow ... All seems in line for the best outcome!

12 1/2 hours since my last check in here. Roadie thanks for the kind words of support. I do have to give it up. I love coffee with a passion. Just bought a bag of expresso yesterday. Let me have a little pitty party and say: yet another f'ing thing to give up. Along with salt, sugar, cigarettes, alcohol, fat, fast foods, and the addition of exercise. Life is so unfair

Hi everyone,
I'm back from holiday traveling. Yesterday I was very busy---had two appts (pdoc and T). I cried during my pdoc session and the session lasted over an hour. Yes over an hour w/ my pdoc. I basically had another therapy session. After my appt I spent the day w/ my daughter. We had fun at one of our local malls. So far today I've been laying around---been up since 8:45AM. I'm still in my pj's LOL. My daughter is wanting to go to the park. We'll have lunch then head to the nearest park.

I am doing well even though I am off Geodon, my regular sleep schedule, and exercise. I do log some brisk walking but this is it.
Tomorrow is my last full day here. |

Pretty ok here. Can't really decide. Got a little baking done, which has been put off. Still having mixed feelings on the usual fronts though, which kind of gets old, and makes it kind of hard to really feel good. A headache has been creeping in. Hoping it's not a migraine (though experience of early phases is saying elsewise), because I didn't bring my meds for that. And sure as hell don't want to get on a plane (middle seat no less) with one(!) (Yeah, that's a few days off yet, but w/o meds, we're talking 3 days of hell. And that's cutting it a little too close.)

I'm backkkkkk LOL. I finally found enough energy to take my daughter to one of our local parks and made trips to a few stores. I'm on the search for a light box---so far no luck at Home Depo and Lowes. My pdoc had me increase my lithium and today was day one of the increase. I cried today but I was able to calm mysel down before I really got started. Overall my day was ok.

Still feeling like death warmed over. I was able to eat a little yesterday and today, but the tiny amount of food I can handle makes a fashion model's meal look like a banquet. I've probably dropped at least five pounds since Thursday. I was going to try going to work tomorrow, but since I'm still having symptoms I'm going to have to stay out another day. So much for building up earned leave so I can actually take a real vacation this summer. Phooey.

A tad blah. Since the new meds I have only 2 emotions: feel nothing or depressed. Mulling over the fact my husband announced he want another baby. *sigh*

Big hugs and I know ... Caffeine addiction for some ranks up there with smoking cigarettes!!
Non-caffeine coffee and has some caffeine in it, so if you use that, beware you may have to eventually face that down too. I'm thinking of you, and I'm so sorry... paranoia & irritability go hand-in-hand with caffeine withdrawal

Today is day two of my med increase and I had so much energy. I went to church (cried while praying with someone) and took my daughter to a park again. Then unpacked, took down Xmas decor, washed hair, blow dried and flat ironed. Lastly I cleaned my place, ironed my daughter's school clothes and updated my bipolar facebook page. Now I'm just relaxing.
