I feel like I'm jinxing myself by saying this but I feel stable.
I think this is amazing considering that in the last 3 weeks I broke up with my boyfriend and had major surgery.
Time will tell.

Taking it easy today, I feel alright, just a bit tired. Didn't get my full 12 hours of sleep. Yes I have been sleeping 12 hours, just sleeping my life away

I don't feel hypo at all, but I just feel like staying up. Nothing really to do, just don't want to sleep for some reason. I will, don't worry, and I will be able to sleep in tomorrow, but for right now I'm going to stay awake and visit various places on the internet. Maybe I'll spend a few hours with the random article button on wikipedia.

Hope you got some sleep comicgeek.

I'm feeling OK. My stomach has been bothering me since yesterday afternoon and I've been anxious about leaving the house because if it. I'm going to have to suck it up and go though because I have SO much to do and I have to work tomorrow. Mentally I'm doing well. Nervous for some reason about my doctor appts this week (Pdoc and PCP). No particular reason.

Still OK mentally. I woke up at 4:30 but went back to sleep until 7. Lots of pain in my knee. The only time it doesn't hurt is when I'm sleeping. Weird, but when I wake up there's absolutely no pain until I move, then oh boy!

So... I spent yesterday playing video games and then watching a movie. I made mini-pizzas on pitas for supper, and drank tea. I cannot tell you how much I needed a day of true downtime!

Then I sorta cried myself to sleep as it all hit me when I went to bed. But woke up today and actually cooked breakfast, and then have vacuumed, swept and mopped the floor. And did dishes. It's only 11:30am so I think that's pretty good based on the last month.

I haven't done much today. Got up and brushed my teeth and took some meds. Now I'm laying back in bed with you guys right now. Its such a beautiful day, I should be out enjoying it. Not sure how I feel, numb is the word right now

I think Bipolar is winning, combined everything else. I'm using all my coping skills, all the meds are the best I can get, and it's just not enough.

Ended up sleeping in so I got enough sleep last night. Need to actually get out of bed to do things, but I'm still so tired. At least I ate. I didn't want to because the option at the cafeteria was fried chicken, but I grudgingly ate it anyway. Ick.

Our weather was so pleasant today, but not even that, beach time, and a great supportive visit with my best friends helped at the gut level. The meds are working well, I think. The bipolar and situational depression as simply overwhelming--giving the physical distress and pain, which are 24/7 now.
Acupuncture does nothing anymore! Can't take any pain pills, and no one will prescribe the topical prescription painkillers for me.

it is exhausting.... I don't know how much more of this I can take

I am so tired

I really wish it would stop

I'm so tired. I need a day off from my weekend! I cleaned my great-grandmother's house yesterday and my own today.

has made a decision. especially after seeing psych. now more meds, i don't think so. after the visit I will finally be free. Though we are not permitted to embellish. better that way. better than the house bbq. I like whales they will sing me to sleep. It will be some week so work out details
Thanks for this!

Is feeling under attack and freaking out with a number of overwhelming things beyond my control. But trying to seem calm on the outside. Have to have to have to. Then one thing last night really unhinged my mind and it's very hard not to just burst into tears. Fighting that over and over and over.

I just want to state that I am annoyed.

I have called in sick to work. Why? Because I am sick. I feel like a zombie.

It's like I had germs waiting around outside of me and as soon as the depression starts to lift they were like "DEFENCES ARE DOWN! AMBUSH!!!"

Stupid body.

Its the same for me! The depression lifts and I end up physically sick, stuck in the house when I feel mentally well enough to leave, very annoying.

Today has been ok, I am still stable with very little anxiety. It spiked a bit tonight but the tension tamer tea has helped a whole lot. There is a show on TV about ECT, I am so so so glad I never went down that route. I remember when I was told it was my only option. How wrong they were!!!
Thanks for this!

We all need a mental health day now and again Red Panda.

Today is one of those days I wish I could call in sick to work and just life in general. Let's hope it improves.

haha... it's not a mental health day. It's a bonafide sick day - it hurts to breathe. haha. Likely caught the same virus my friend's toddler has.
