Started on another medication in addition to the other ones I'm on, it's supposed to really help. Can't wait to get some stability

Woke up today thinking about something my T said earlier in the week and I'm rather upset by it. The worst thing? It was something he'd meant as a compliment!!!!

And I'm thoroughly exhausted. I'm sad and depressed and don't want to be out and doing anything, but I've had things to do pretty much everyday and it doesn't seem to be letting up until NEXT ... towards the end. It's non-stop and I just don't want to be going out and doing anything but I feel way too obligated to things to pass on any of it. And my flat is a mess (by my standards) and I want it to be clean but when I AM home I am a vegetable because every ounce of energy gets used up on getting through everything else and I just say "eff it"

Man, my back hurts today. I guess from all the heavy lifting I did yesterday when I was shopping. Maybe carrying 4 gallons of milk at a time isn't smart. I feel fine besides that.

Trying to focus on little successes like auditioning for the choir when I told myself there was no way I could get the courage to go. Was accepted despite my conviction that I gave the worst audition ever. Appreciating that for the rehearsal time at least my mind was focused and I felt dare I say it a little free.

A successful audition is a major accomplishment for anybody! Toot that horn--two toots, in fact ... one for making the effort to go, another to cheer a victory.

Few things are "putting yourself out there" like going through an audition. Please don't underrate your accomplishment.

I have been doing a little better for the last few days the today at 3:30 my mood took a nose dive. I now feel like crawling in a hole and checking out. I'm still at work and it is hard for me to keep from crying. I took a Klonopin and am waiting for it to kick in, even though I don't see it helping much. Just needed to write it down. Only a half hour of work left. Then I can go home and crawl in bed. Unfortunatly I have to drive home, I don't really feel good about a 40 minute drive but there is no alternative. I see my pdoc on Tuesday not that I think he can help me. He's tried just about everything and none of it seems to work. Sorry for my ranting guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself and i hate that.

I'm starting to feel somewhat optimistic and excited about life finally, doing quite a bit better than I was

This semester is getting hard, eating-wise. I usually skip breakfast, or eat late breakfast and don’t have lunch. Now I’m getting back into seriously skipping meals - like two or three at a time.

So my solution has been to force myself to eat something once my hunger gets past a certain threshold. That way I force myself to skip fewer meals, even if I can’t force myself to stick to a damn schedule and eat like a normal person.

There is a problem with this solution, however:

THE ONLY THING OPEN ON CAMPUS AFTER 8PM IS BURGER KING.

So this is how the cycle goes

feel fat —> don’t eat —> get super hungry —> eat BK —> feel fatter —> skip more meals —> threshold hunger —> more BK, etc.

So yeah. That whopper I just had (wtf did I choose that for???) is making me feel horrible about myself right about now.

Back to the drawing board…

I've had moments of feeling depressed since my surgery, but I am trying to keep my mind on other things and am feeling better now.

I'm glad it's the weekend so I can spend time with my husband. We're going to a wedding today, and that's a big accomplishment for me considering my depression lingers . . .

My husband is setting arrangements for my son as he see inpatient for both of us in the near future. He doesn't trust me alone if he goes inpatient.

Ok. But not great. I still can't stand up without getting dizzy. My nurse is not impressed with me. I think that the meds are making me dizzy. I mean all my psych meds plus morphine? I asked her about the meds and then she got really upset. Phooey.

Went grocery shopping with a friend - she talked a million times more than I did.

Got home, read an upsetting comment on a different forum, and been crying since pretty much.

now off to a house warming that I don't feel up to going to but feel obligated and like I shouldn't quit on life. but that's what I've been doing for a week and dhtat's all next week too

Doing great right now. I have my new grand daughter for the night.. she is so beautiful I cant stop staring at her.

Yesterday was rough tho. My caseworker and family mentor came over and stayed an hour and half going over my past and doing annual assessment. It left me shook up afterwards.

Yesterday for me was essentially a gong show.

Went to the housewarming and managed my way through that fairly well.

Got home nad a friend of mine was doing a broadcast as he djs, and it's not his normal time so I was surprised and turned it on. He gave me a shoutout and said he hoped I wasn't feeling blue. Instant bawling as I hadn't gotten to talk to him for days and I guess with him I'm THAT transparent. And then more upsettings posts on that one forum...

So I sorta had a little bit of a meltdown last night. And now have a headache due to the few drinks I'd had and the fact that I spent hours crying!

I paint. I just use watercolor instead of my usual oil paints because that takes too much work to set up. But yes, when my thoughts get like this, I paint and let myself have at it... paint the pictures that I see and feel. Also, make sure to let your doc/therapist know if you have one!
