You edited this--it's getting even worse?
Ah, Christina, the catch is that the pain that's too much to bear forever is the pain you're suffering now. Now may not be anything like this now in an hour, a day. The issue isn't is there reason to live like this but is the pain bad enough to die for?

I understand the question, Christina. I really do.
I know answers are unique, individual. No one can say they're wrong. * hugs forever *
may there be some relief, to give you rest ~

I've had a dreadful head cold for a few days now. Hardly slept last night because of the congestion. Now I'm watching bad sci-fi on Netflix and typing away on the computer. On the plus side the depression seems to be subsiding some. Determined to have a good day despite everything else.

Life truly sucks right now. I won't post it all here, but I started a thread on the psychotherapy forum about what is going on. Feel like it is all coming unglued.

I dont get online much more these days. Have soo much going on now. Started working again as my downtime is now passed. Ive been on the new med prestiq now for about a month and finally get to see the doctor on the 24th who is most likely going to take me off all my meds because im pregnant. Im not sure what to do or think of all of it as im afraid my thoughts and emotions are going to run wild. Ive slowly been weening myself of my neurontin which has been difficult but havnt stopped the prestiq in fear of withdrawl which im already expierencing from the neurontin. My thoughts are racey and fast..i go from being manic to depressed several times. My thoughts too seem to be more repetive and i just wish itd stop. What to do..what to do.

Going to try to get a decent amount of writing done today. I'm feeling alright which is a good thing. I finally set up a blogger blog to express all of my useless and schizo thoughts, which is a good thing.

That's something I'm trying to work on. Writing for the sake of expressing my thoughts. I don't do it as nearly as often as I should. It really does help, so chances are I'll be posting a bunch of trivial blurbs on the new blog.

I figure the more I have to keep myself out of my head, the better.

I bookmarked your blogs, everythingnothing. When I have a larger attention span, I'll check them out! Writing is definitely a very good tool to stop over-introspecting & over-thinking. My tool of choice, as well! Though I don't think I could be quite so organized.

Progress report on today: Started hearing things again last night after about 2 months being psychosis-free. I'm not even manic & the depression is incredibly mild, soooooooooo... That's a little strange. Finally managed to get some house stuff done. At least that's improving.

For everyone here going through things more difficult than I am!

Today I didn't leave the house till 4:45pm. I like having 1 day a week where I can do nothing. My mind is on my son and his future life. He was confirmed, by another evaluation, as on the autistic spectrum w/ paranoid schizophrenia. I heard, for the 1st time, about his 11 voices in his mind.
My mom's been telling me, but I was in a bit of denial or wishing it weren't so.

Well... I had the strangest dream last night, about my parents fighting. I wake up, and they really are fighting. We own like, 13 dogs, right? We breed them for a buisiness. They are my lifeline in everything. I overhear them arguing about continuing the buisiness. To prove a point, my mother is likely to do anything. [She suffers from dementia, btw]. Long story short, we have a gun in our house. I'm making plans with a close guy-friend about getting some of the dogs and hiding them in an abandoned shed we know how to break into. This has happened numerous times before. I'm scared and shaken and preparing for the worst...

Yesterday was my birthday, and it was a good one. Didn't do anything especially exciting.....just had family around and they cooked a delicious dinner for me. I also got a couple of gifts and was reminded, once and again, that I really am loved (which is the most important thing of all). I tend to forget that in the middle of a busy life, birthdays are really just an occasion to count my blessings.

Mood has remained stable x 3 weeks now and counting. Maybe this really is the beginning of a good long stretch of normality......is that even possible in the winter?? Stay tuned!

Tired, have a headache, and I'm bored. Dishes that I don't want to do need to be done, and laundry that I don't want to do needs to be done. Don't you hate when you're bored and don't actually want to do anything?

I would really like a smoke. I have the patch on, but I'm used to going out to the porch every hour to smoke, so now I'm just sitting here.

Have a lot of work to get done today. So that should distract me.

we're always going to have those days ... I try to find some counter like a creative hobby that gets me involved in something outside of me

or I beat the stuffings out of my pillow ... or cry till it's sopping wet.

Glad you had a good birthday and feeling stable. It's such a blessing to be loved.

It was a good day despite this head cold. We watched movies and talked all day. I'm figuring out how to download movies on my laptop. I love old black and white sci fi movies.

My day has been good. I went to church. I just started attending Sunday school and I'm really enjoying it. I enjoy learning abt God. After church I attended a prayer class. I did have one bad thing happen today. I had a dizzy spell twice. I'll be calling my pdoc abt it Tuesday

I've had a lazy day. I got up early and watch the inaugural 2013 all morning. I made a few phone calls and haven't started getting things ready for 2moro. Overall my mood has been mellow but I have had some anxiety
