I feel the same way. Actually shed a few tears as well.

Woke up late, had therapy, and went out to dinner with H. I am in a decent mood but I'm still shaken from med change.

Very rough day yesterday too. Watched too much on tv and couldn't get the pain and grief away from me.
Today is starting a bit more clear and hopeful. Happy my children are healthy and safe too.

Trying to avoid the news, I just don't want to deal with it.

I've been on Saphris for a week it's getting easier to take, although even with Listerine strips it tastes like hell.

I've had a cold too and felt bad so it's hard to tell if it's from the cold or from the other stuff.

I am also avoiding the news today, a lot of tears shed yesterday.

I'm feeling better today, cleaned up the house and having a couple of people over for dinner.

Friday: I attended a ceramics class and really enjoyed myself. I also attended a Christmas party and had a good time. I didn't cry all day.

Today: I got up early and fixed the last of my Christmas shopping, wrapped presents and addressed Christmas cards. I relaxed at a local bookstore during the evening time. I almost cried today.

Stressed, nobody settling down at home and I'm anxious about being able to sleep tonight. Feel like I need quiet alone time and it isn't going to happen it seems. Early morning and stressful day at work/school tomorrow likely. Ugh.

Today was pretty good for me. I went to church and enjoy awesome service. I got emotional in church and started crying. I was able to pull myself together . Later in afternoon I attended a children's program at church. Then watch tv w/ my daughter.

It was hard not to get weepy at Mass this morning because Father was talking about the massacre in CT and the precious children who lost their lives. This story has weighed very heavily on me, indeed on a lot of people; and when Father called the kids to the front of the church for Children's Liturgy, I looked at those innocent faces and just could. not. imagine. how someone could hurt or kill them. What kind of demon does that??!!

Otherwise, I'm doing pretty well, got about 3/4 of my Christmas shopping done yesterday and Friday, and am feeling considerably better about the holiday overall. I just needed to get my groove back, is all.

Had a good day yesterday. I live in a small town and I haven't been getting out much. I went to the "city" with my boyfriend (well I met him he lives on the otherside) and we went Xmas shopping a little and had lunch.

It was tiring, being around all the people and sounds and sights after being around so fewer people and stimulus.

But, I was in a situation that last month would have triggered an anxiety attack and it didn't. I was annoyed but I wasn't on the verge of tears and ready to run.

I had to turn off the TV this morning because they were showing the victims faces in CT. God help those people.

I am just riding the euphoria train after yesterday. I spent my anniversary/christmas celebration with my boyfriend and we exchanged gifts. His gift says "I'm a better me because of you"

It made my heart melt.

Things are good. The first good feelings I had since the past few days have been filled with tears for the Newtown CT school children and teachers that died senselessly.

Triggered because once again my "father" has sided with someone else and let me know he would be totally fine seeing his grandkids in the street. Again. At Christmas again for the second time, so now searching for a new home. And at maximum rage level for his wife as well. As of yesterday, I am an orphan. One who passed away, the other who I will never speak to again.

no time to be ill. put it out of my mind and replace any thoughts of it with work. it manifests itself in the form of work, and work is something that I do very well, so I can handle it better that way.

Last day at work till after the first of the year. These long breaks scare me because I will withdraw to my cave where I am so comfortable. I don't do Xmas ... no family left, anyone at all close goes away to celebrate with family elsewhere. I don't mind because I am a happy, natural recluse.
But when the holiday's over I'll have to go back. I know it's good for my mental health that I do so--but already I'm thinking how grand if I could move away while everyone's gone and be a hermit till I die.
I know, I am so bipolar.
