Today has just been a bad day for me. I woke up late, missing both my first class and my therapy appointment. This is the second time I've missed an appt due to oversleeping; my new therapist probably thinks that I just don't care. I had nothing to contribute during the one class I did make it to. I checked my e-mail tonight, and got a notification from the housing office that someone made a "noise complaint" against me, and that I have to attend a meeting about it tomorrow at 11. I wasn't even in my apartment during the time the complaint was made.

I also binged both yesterday and today, which is bad because I am trying to lose the 26 lbs I gained on zyprexa. I bought two packages of sweets yesterday afternoon...they're both gone.

I hate having no control.

Thanks for listening and for your virtual hugs.

I am sorry that you had such a bad day. I am sure that your new therapist understands that it is just the beginning of therapy and you will eventually get into a routine. I have gone on binge eatings, too. Try to take a deep breath and maybe find some other things to do to keep your mind busy. I know all about meds and gaining weight. Start going to a gym. It is good for releasing serotonin and will help with your symptoms, plus you will lose the weight and feel like you have some control. I hope tomorrow is a better day

All we can do is the best that we can. some days it seems that is not good enough. some days it seems like I can do no right, and the harder I try the worse everything gets. right now, those days are behind me, as with you, soon the bad days will be behind you too. Just hang in there until things improve. Your worth it.

Sorry today sucked for you.
Tomorrow is a new day just do what you can and remember beating yourself up isn't going to help. Be kind to yourself first and foremost

Sending you good thoughts and love
