Mildly low today. Woke up anxious for my pdoc appointment, after that the anxiety left and the depression hit. I sat for near on 3 hours at my mums trying to socialise but I had trouble following conversation and just could not come up with anything interesting to say. I started crying on the drive home and got straight into bed when I got there. I know, the opposite of what I should have done. I didnt stay in bed for long, eventually I got up and went outside to play with the animals. It helped a little. Smoking helped more, but I dont want to do that again, the last one I had was my last one. Watching Buffy now and eating chocolate, telling myself that tomorrow will be a better day. There are some contributing factors to this minor disruption so Im not too worried yet.

Agreed. I'll take that over the depression I'm feeling at the moment.

Have a Pdoc appointment this afternoon. Hope to continue going up on the Lamictal. I think it is really making a difference. Maybe I'll finally get back to normal whatever that is.

Doing alright today, kind of having a hard time getting motivated to do anything though. Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive.

Well. I went to open the door for someone who was carrying a big box. This went successfully, but when I went to walk away the door caught my heel. I had a 20 minute walk home with a painful scrape! Nursing my wound but resting it on an ice pack. Silly good deeds.

Hmmm. Definitely elevated...not so much hypo...but definitely elevated.
It's been nearly 6 weeks since my last bout of depression.

I'm doing absolutely crap on almost all fronts. Today I realized that I'm at the point that I need to go see my pdoc...About the only positive thing I can say is that I made it through a 10 hour work day yesterday without completely losing it.

I'm laughing at myself for planning out how I am going to reorganize my T's DBT workbook. I've been at it for 3 hours. And my write-up in the OCD thread I personally find hilarious.

Clearly I should be in bed.

Still lowish. It was a beautiful day here so I made sure I soaked up as much sunshine as possible. I went to work all morning then had a coffee with some work friends. By lunchtime I was ready for bed and over today but I had more little goals I had to achieve so I dont let myself become a hermit like I want to. I went to town and ran all my errands then came home and did an hour of a mindfulness CD that actually made me feel anxious. The anxiety passed and I went back to work for a couple hours now I am home dreading the fact that I have to clean the kitchen and make dinner. It just seems so hard to do, my movements are all slowed up but I can still stand so I have no excuse. Boyfriend is being extremely helpful and supportive so that really makes me feel loved.

I slept from 2-5:30.

What on earth is wrong with me. I'm pretty sure my body is rebelling from sleeping so much while sick last week.

I'm hoping that's it. I am going to hope that it does NOT mean that I'm heading into a little up right as I head out of a depression. Baseline body, BASELINE BRAIN!

(Clever alliteration and use of repetition no?)

We'll see how today goes. I had the worst night of sleep ever. Hubby is sick so I gave him the bed and slept on the couch. Now I'm tired and sore. The things we do for love. Plus, I'm going up to 50mg of Zoloft today and I have 1001 things to do at work. I'll have to check in when I get home and let you know how it went. Right now, I'm just TIRED.

Well I told my boyfriend I'm Bipolar today, and he said he'd stick with me through it so that makes me happy to have someone supportive

Saw my Pdoc yesterday and we increased the Lamictal and reduced the Topamax. I am headed for a dose of 200 mg of the Lamictal. I am groggy and have a headache today. Hopefully this will pass.

to you all today.

Im having a weird day. I didnt sleep well last night and I feel kind of wired today. I didnt want to take my meds this morning, I wanted to skip them all and have a hermit day. But I did take them like a good patient.

My mood is still stable, but I do feel restless and almost anxious but not quite. A kind of agitation but Im not mad. There are a few things causing this reaction in me and I am going to get stuck into my therapy books to see if I can nut them out. Time is going really fast, I planned to have a cup of tea and hour ago but the hour just disappeared.

I am so thankful for my chat mate today, he has made life that little bit brighter.
