Overall I notice a different since having my meds increased. I'm glad Phil the groundhog didn't see his shadow. I hope we having an early spring. I've been dealing w/ anxiety but have been praying abt it. I have meds to help as well.
My day was good. I went to church w/ my daughter. Each Sunday I'm learning more and more. After church I watch a few good speakers on Christian tv.

Feeling pretty decent. I've gotten a lot accomplished on the house in the last two days. Been working with the horse some, though tomorrow's chore is detangle her tail. I also plan to bathe the dogs. I got my grocery shopping done yesterday and I'm almost caught up with my homework, My short term disability just came in so now that stress is gone. YAY!! 2 1/2 wks therapy before doc re x-rays and sees if I can move forward. I'm making good progress. I'm far from having my grip back, but today I was finally able to get on my horse and ride, only in the pasture, but it was a nice feeling. It's been one day shy of 6 wks since my fall and this was the first day I was strong enough to take a gentle ride. Da**, 3 am and all I can think about is the things I need to do, can do, plan to do.....da**, just realized I may be a bit manic now. Oh well, enjoy the wave while it lasts and try to refrain from trouble.

Guess I am not doing all that well. I seem to be a victim of the stress of my failed marriage and only child who keeps pushing back at my every request/sentence. I am pi$$ed, moody, feels like rapid cycling up/down an anger. Ugh I cannot take much more of this! |

Feeling better (been sick). Missed a couple days of meds and had half doses the other days. Since it's been going ok, might just keep 'em there.
 Been staying up way late, but not manic-y at all. Trying to be brave, make phone calls and emails. Which I find ridiculously hard to do.  Haven't made it to PC much, but am thinking of you all, as ever.

I'm afraid I reached the peak a few weeks ago and now am headed back down the slope. I usually gauge myself with how I get when sleep deprived.
If I feel the urge to just not sleep and stay up and do all kinds of stuff or go out and get crazy drunk, I figure I'm on the upslide. If I feel the urge to make myself sleep and get broken up or emotional easily, I figure I'm on the downslide. Like today. I had gotten up at 8am Saturday morning, done stuff all day, slept an hour before work, then only took a couple naps in the early morning hours. I went straight from work to church and was feeling very tired. The sermon evoked all kinds of emotions. I began to feel terribly lost and distraught. My mind pondered things like how I'm such a horrible person for the things I've done and I dont deserve God's love and shouldnt have even gone to receive Communion since its been so long since I've gone to Confession. My emotional reaction to everything was so strong it brought me to tears when I prayed after Communion. The priest must have noticed because he stopped me on the way out the door. Asked me where I was a firefighter at (I went in my reflective stripes) After explaining I work at a mine, his parting words were "Well, just hang in there." He must have seen it in my eyes I guess. Not looking forward to the next month or so. I'm predicting a massive crash sometime after my hearing. I just bet knowing what punishment I'll be getting will be enough to sink me.

Doing good aside from some irritability. I am trying really hard not to act like a B to the work peeps today. I have just found that if I put my headphones on I am less likely to be irritated further so I have been using this strategy today.
I have not been taking my meds very consistently the last few days- our home is getting some renovations so I slept in a hotel this weekend- missed my seroquel fri & sat and only half of that and the Lamictal yesterday. Think that could explain my irritability? Hang in there, everyone. It seems like there is a little bit of "down" going around so try to stay strong. Try to get some sunlight if possible. (That one out for me as we are getting 6" of snow but if you can then do!) Hugs all around. tree

I am feeling a bit irritable. I am not taking constructive criticism well. I just want to be held and loved, not judged. I need a good woman to walk beside me....not in front of me, not behind me, but beside me. That feels next to impossible to find. Ugh.

Feeling sore and tired, but in a good way. I don't want to ever lose this buzz, I'm getting so much needed stuff accomplished and it seems like all at once.

My mood and energy level so weird today. Went from depressed sick cant move, to energy burst, bright ideas, plans, solutions and even a shower and laundry! What the heck. Now I want to keep going but must force myself to sleep. I hate to waste long awaited energy level on sleeping! But I think it's best for my health, hopefully a klonopin will do the trick, I don't take everyday.

 So pretty sure I'm heading in a hypo, and I love it, I'll be honest I feel like I could really put this to good use. I'm not craving alcohol and sex I sometimes do while hypo, but I am smoking a lot which is bad. (Gotta quit those when my mom comes to town next week!) I woke up way before my alarm this morning and was immediately productive, got a little moody and spaced out here and there, but overall I got a lot done. So now it's time for my sleepy helper and hopefully do it again tomorrow. My son has court again tomorrow. Last one 2 weeks ago was really stressful, but I feel ok about this one. I can do this.  Maybe I'm just ok and normal, I really don't know! |
