My day has been good so far. I hung out with the girls---quilting & knitting. We ate and laughed. My mood was good. Right now I thinking I'm cycling or just also had an anxiety attack. I have a refill for some anti-anxiety and I better fill it fast.

Trying to make sense of the week long episode I just had. Not ashamed, just think the whole thing is weird. Wavering on how much effort I want to put into "fixing" the relationships I broke, 3 big ones. Maybe I needed to get crazy to make a change, maybe I'm just a little crazy and that's that. Not sure yet.

Feeling more like myself lately. Got out of work early for the ton of snow we are getting in Chicago. Making a big pot of chicken dumping soup and baking beer bread. That's the plan.

little bit more of a settled better day went for a walk in the snow after shoveling snow of our drive. Loved the white landscape of everything.

had kind of a freak out talk with boyfriend, which made some anxiety come up but it was worked through nearly as quickly as it began.

BPD2 in check today for sure.
The ex called screaming about something that our daughter did at school that was "all your fault" and I gladly accepted responsibility for it and that was that. So STFU ex and go talk to your new man friend. Stop playing the damn drama-mama card PA-LEEEZE!

My husband and I usually go to Arizona every year to visit his 86 yr old mother. This year(first time in eleven years) he told me he hasn't decided if I get to go. He's been preoccupied almost daily with his new girlfriend and doesn't deny it. I'm anxious about everything right now.

My day started off rocky. I was home in the dark. I hate being in the dark. The weather was cloudy with overcast. No sunshine in sight. I pulled myself together and went to a local community center. I felt better being around people and socializing. There was a birthday party and I attended.

Mood: mixed

Today I had a shower for the first time in five days.

Didn't have time to wash my hair, though, so it's a greasy mess.

Last week, I finally made it through a whole day without crying. I wanted to see how many more days I could keep this up.

I only lasted through that day..

I took a Ativan for anxiety and started feeling better. I think I need my dosage increased though. I went to Bible study but had a hard time focusing. Mood: mixed

Bizarre dreams last night...very depressing dreams of violent deaths, like I was watching some violent movie or something.
I slept too much, so I have that sleep hangover thing going on too...just can't stand that.
Bleh...I like it much better when I wake up happy instead of depressed, sleepy, and confused.
I hope to be OK once I get on with the day.
Have a great weekend everybody!

"Movie" may have been your wrap up of the day--personal or world. There's so much violence out there. Are you a visual person? Deaths & violence may not be related to you personally but just a response to how your neighborhood, city, or world is.

A lot of us on the kind of meds prescribed for bipolar, depression, BPD & similar disorders "come to" in that sleep hangover--groggy, depressed, and confused.

As some of the meds wear off, others keep right on working ... so I feel that slow motion thing of mentally & physically trying to swim up to my day's surface where I'm real and so is the world ... just can't stand that.

I know it goes against nature, but the faster you get blood moving through that body and brain, the sooner you'll break through the blehs and feel a little happy start to creep in.

About five minutes of exercise, some fresh fruit (whole, not juice) whole wheat toast, and coffee. Shower.


Yes, I'm certified crazy. Bipolar alcoholic, a month in a psych unit capable of morning happies--if only I bother to get off my pity pot

Today, I'm feeling lonely. And frustrated. And a bit hungry

I need to find something constructive to do, but I just don't have the energy.

I'm not doing well. I'm worried a d overwhelmed. On the verge of Failure, failure so huge that I could lose my business, home, everything material. I'm not materialistic, but I need to support 3 kids and my mom, they need food and shelter. I chose men who couldn't contribute to raising their children. All of this is my fault, bad choice after bad choice.

I don't even know if I'm bipolar. Some days I feel I've GOT to see a doctor, because I'm really bad, but then there are times when I think that it's not necessary. I went to a psycholog for 3 times, but then I stopped because she just made me cry, and I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere, and it was too expensive. I know I should go back, and I'm looking for someone less expensive.
My days are always a mess. I never know what my day will be like. I'm afraid of just going to school, because if I have a "bad day" the day will be really horrible, and then I should just hide away on my own, I shouldn't meet anyone, because I'm not able to keep a conversation, not to laugh, and I mess up everything, and everyone end up with being mad on me or annoyed.
But I ****ing love these days when I feel great. You know, the feeling of peace inside and out, you're just happy, everything's perfect, there might not even be a reason for why I feel like it. You just go around smiling, talking to everyone, laughing for nothing, just feeling great. But then suddenly it changes and I feel horrible, like REALLY horrible, loose the meaning of life, hate everything, feel just passive, just wanna hide away, can't sleep.
Well in fact I think I'm bipolar, but I'd like to get it checked, maybe some medicaments, because it's quite frustrating, and I mess up everything with people around me, with school and work and all, and friends, and in the end I just end up hating myself.

I'm so sorry it's crashed down on you like this, BlueInanna. I hope you have someone calm and sensible you can review everything with and possibly find some new options. You've worked too hard for it to come to this.
