I had the worst start to a day that I've had in a while. I slept in, then wasted two hours looking for a lost $50 gift card and my keys. I didn't have my roommate's phone number so I was stuck in my dorm until she came back. Then I ran all over campus in the pouring rain retracing my steps from yesterday trying to find my darn keys. Aparently I had left them attached to my PO box when I checked my mail yesterday.... Doubt I'll ever see that gift card again, though.

Ill take a mental health day...

didnt get enough sleep, car broke down, spent entire day getting shuttled around by my MIL (way too much social interaction for a day), and now at work til 10pm. Feeling the depression creep up in the form of hopelessness and fatigue, but feeling a frustrating twisted ball of energy stuck inside of me. probably the anxiety and lack of sleep and overstimulation. just wish i could go home and crawl in bed.

hopefully ambien and a good night's rest will right some wrongs...

Feeling ok but spent the entire day at my son's house waiting for a real estate guy, who no one bothered to tell me had rescheduled his visit for Thursday. My doormat self needs to grow a backbone.

THE PLOT THICKENS! So after I paid for a non-refundable phone (albeit not that expensive and my dad's paying me back anyway), for grins and giggles I try to turn my old phone on one last time AND IT DOES!!! So on the one hand I paid for something I don't really need hours after buying it, but on the other hand MY PHONE I LOVE IS ALIIIIIVEEE. Plus, I can give the new phone to my little sister or keep it as an emergency backup since my sim card and SD card fits in both of them. All I need to do now is get a new screen for my beloved phone because the screen cracked (not bad at all, but don't want it to get worse) and a backup battery since the old one is obviously dying.

I still feel ok. Just ok.

I am very tired of feeling like an invalid. I can't go anywhere or do anything, and it'll be 4 weeks before I can start using a cane. My surgery was 2 weeks tomorrow - my impatience is rearing its ugly head again. I want to be well now.

And because I lost my job last month, and because I'm on disability now and can't afford payments, my new (to me) car is being repossessed, and I find that I don't care. So much stuff has happened to me this year that it's just one more failure on my big list. The first time my car got repossessed in 2008, I was a basket case. Right now I just can't seem to care. This is serious. If things continue as they are right now, I'll never have another car.

Why don't I care? Overwhelm? Too much stuff going on? I have no clue.

Do you live in a city with public transit Phoenix? It can be inconvenient, but you can save soooo much money using public transit.

Sorry you're still under the house arrest and stuck in bed. Have you got a good stack of books at your disposal?

I'm doing pretty good today. I found out I will have insurance again which will help with my medication. Mood wise I'm doing great lately

There's actually good public transit here. I've been approved for Paratransit until the end of November while recovering from my surgery. The Paratransit bus is booked ahead of time and it picks me up at home and takes me to the door of where I'm going. Since I'm on provincial disability, the cost for the bus is $20 per month.

I'd be lost without my e-reader. I download library books. I also can download audio books to my laptop or phone.

Thank you for helping me look on the bright side.

Yeah, I've never gone to get my license... so a good transit system is something I pay attention to (fyi, the city transit where I live is CRAP. But a cab is $10 to the otherside of town (that's counting a tip) so it's ok.). And really, when you're stuck in bed you can indulge in things like reading a book right until you're finished, cause what else is there to do?!

I'm ok today. Feeling completely overwhelmed and exhausted. I've been really anxious and stressed lately, despite taking anxiety meds. Went to the pdoc today and she's keeping me at 50mg of Lamictal (weird) and added Zoloft. I figured she'd up my Lamictal to 100mg considering I'm not better. I guess because I'm not depressed, she figures it's working. I guess the next time I have a depressive episode, she'll increase the dose. Who knows.

I dont know how you guys cope without a car. My boyfriend is borrowing mine at the moment and I feel trapped. In saying that I live more than 15kms away from the nearest public transport and I get really bad motion sickness.

Today I am a bit on edge, yesterday was stressful at work. I think I am on edge mainly because I dont have a car and I have no weed and I will be stuck home alone for the next two days. I have things planned for myself when I do start to struggle but I hate having to feel the discomfort. I just hope I can keep myself undercontrol and dont let the anxiety take over. So far so good.

I'm ok today other than being in a bit of pain. I'm pondering asking my neurologist for cymbalta to try to help the pain. I'm pretty sure my pdoc would disapprove, since it's an AD, and I shouldn't take them. Haven't been on one since 2010, because I went totally manic taking large doses of effexor. So idk. I can't take narcotics, b/c i get addicted to them. So I'm running out of ideas. Maybe he can increase the gabapentin and give me an extra tramadol a day. I only take 2 tramadol right now, one in the am and one in the pm. The bottle says to take one every 4 hrs for pain, but he only gives me 60 a month. I'm just so tired all the time from all the meds, even though I'm on provigil, so increasing things might make me a zombie. sucks.

I hope you get it all straightened out ASAP and you get to feeling better.
