Isn't that always the way?

I didn't follow my schedule completely the way I wanted because I ended up falling asleep after staying up really late, but I did get a lot of things done today. I cleaned my house, left the house without freaking out and turning back like I almost did, talked to a neighbor, made a phone call, and worked out. My mood is very good right now, I'm happy I was able to do those things today

Despite my recent "want to stay in bed" mode, I've managed to function somewhat all day. Took a bath, cleaned up the kitchen/ran dishwasher, spent time on this board, had session with T, went to DBSA Board meeting, lunch with my husband, walked the dogs, talked to a potential client, now not sure what to do . . .

I feel well.

I love my new med regiment. I don't think one can really know how bad they are feeling until they feel better. That's me. I am appreciating today. I feel great.

And I think my boyfriend has been cheating on me. Grrrr

I would say mixed. Not really mixed mood or phase, but just kinda some things are great and others are blah.

naejannej · Oct 28, 2013, 06:46 PM

at work. at least i made it here. trying to cope with being here. crawling under my desk is really looking appealling.

I got a new job! I start Thursday. It's just data entry, but it's something, so I won't complain too much. My car isn't going to cost as much as I thought. It's going to be $370 to replace the knock sensor and he did an oil change. So I'm relieved.

Phoenix_1 · Oct 28, 2013, 11:55 PM

My boyfriend and I had it out and he's history. I am so angry right now !!

Slept much better today...not too much noise in my head right now...that is a relief.
Didn't have the need to go buy anything either. Getting tired of the need for shoppers high.

Depressive again today. Its hard to know what is hormone related and what is brain related this month... Saw both my pdocs today, they gave conflicting advice. One said to give myself a break, the other said I needed to keep going through the motions. Wondering if dropping my AP is a mistake. The male pdoc wanted to put my AD up but this episode is very minor and mild compared to others so I am not keen to do that yet, and who knows tomorrow I might be stable if my hormones allow it. Very confused but there is too much info to put in a thread so I just have to figure it out on my own.

Not the best morning so far. Overwhelming urge to go back to bed.

Blue_Bird · Oct 29, 2013, 07:55 AM

Was able to sleep finally last night. Thoughts aren't racing as much as they were thankfully. Mood is good

I get to carve pumpkins today which is exciting lol

Andysmom · Oct 29, 2013, 10:10 AM

Couldn't sleep last night so slept all morning on the couch. Almost missed my T appointment. Darn it!!!

FaithlessCat · Oct 29, 2013, 02:22 PM

Mixed day for me, but mostly crashing down until I forced myself to go visit a neighbour and have Tea, Feel much better after that

Oct 29, 2013, 02:23 PM

plenty of reasons to smile today.

1:. new downton abby dvd (yeah, i know, 2 dvds in the space of 3 or 4 days.. both related to downton abby)

had really tasty chicken for dinner (with spicy mesxican wedges) which was great

and my aunt's gone home.. she left this morning. managed to avoid her all week- which is awsome.

shame though i have a lot of anxiety about everything... if not for that it would be perfict

Oct 29, 2013, 03:32 PM

Feeling anxious over my temp assignment tonight. I am working a Hotel Bar...now that in and of itself should make me happy; I love to Bartend. It's just the stupid social anxiety thing. I have the darndest criteria for some of my issues. It's kind of like stage fright...as soon as I get there and get working it wil pass. I just gotta get there.

RenjiCat · Oct 29, 2013, 04:00 PM

I've been having a lot of anxiety today. My dad is currently in surgery and I'm at the hospital with my mom. Other than that I'm pretty good. The meds are helping!!!! Yay for meds!

Phoenix_1 · Oct 29, 2013, 04:14 PM

After a good night's sleep I feel much better. My boyfriend is history and that's probably a good thing. I really don't need all that drama in my life. I feel very calm today.

Yeah, he sounds like more trouble than he was worth. Heres to moving on

Had a terrible nightmares last night, a lot of pain in them. Glad to be awake! Feeling a bit on edge but its my first day back at work in a week, so thats to be expected. Otherwise feeling pretty good

Starting the day off as positively as possible, positive affirmations and happy thoughts. Bit over this hormone rollarcoaster but today already is much easier to manage. Just need to remember that the bad will pass.

Spent the weekend at a family wedding, it was very nerve wracking, I ended up taking a klonopin and zoning out in the middle of one gathering, embarassing. Just too many people, kids, noise. I'm not feeling very good, T thinks its the depakote, I feel like chucking the lot of meds and starting over but obviously that could just end up worse. Apparently depressions cause brain damage and my dr is trying to keep me from being depressed but honestly I feel depressed. I knew being manic wasnt good and I tried to get help but being low and feeling full of lead inside aint good either. Dang I hate this illness. I just dont know if I should call my dr this week or wait til I see her next Wed. Its not an emergency but it surefeels likecrap. I just hate walking in this fog.

Moose72 · Oct 29, 2013, 06:45 PM

My youngest won't do his homework.he went to take a shower instead. I got an email from a long-time friend and wrote him back. Took my eldest to see his therapist today and heard some kid screaming that they weren't going back to the hospital! All I could think was, "Yes screaming like that you are!" Then grocery shopping. Now my youngest won't do his homework. Oh yeah I said that. Its annoying me that's why. I haven't written in my blog in a few days. Nothing to write. Guess that's good.

naejannej · Oct 29, 2013, 07:42 PM

at work again. feeling a little more down everyday. feeling extra tired today. i just cannot tolerate ativan, either. im splitting the 0.5mg pills into quarters and it's still making me wanna nap hardcore. lotsa financial stress, probably what's contributing to depressive symptoms. boyfriend is being his usual non-understanding self.

hope everyone's hanging in there/doing well.
