I woke up in a mood. I'm used to waking up in a bad, irritable, just down right horrible mood. Yet today I woke up with a mission. I must get this house in shape! I've done laundry (still doing it), took out 5 big bags of trash and burned them, and cleaned out the fridge. I feel weird, but a good weird (if that makes sense). Now I have to fold towels. Then I have to go to town and get groceries to replace those that I threw out. I hope this feeling lasts a good while!

I saw my pdoc today. He put me on a low dose of lamictal. We'll see how it goes.

While shopping I stopped by Sally's and got a color stripper for my hair... I used it, but didn't see too much of a difference. Oh well.. now I'm dying my hair an "intense deep auburn". Wonder how it's going to turn out.....

A few months ago I decided to go red and started dyeing mine a color called "Medium Intense Auburn" Love the color, hope it turns out well for you

I have this obsession with a certain Brand Name Bedding items these past 3 days. I bought about 500 bucks worth and have no idea how I'm going to pay my other bills....That's manic right??

I am also depressed (I guess) since I'm very irritable and writing nasty letters to people who pissed me off this week-total strangers! I'm so embarrrassed. I prob will have to leave town as I've offended everyone in this one!

It turned out black! The only thing that's red is my scalp.

Having suicidal idealizations. Im not depressed, I am stable, but I still feel like we'd all be a hell of a lot better off if I had died at the first attempt. I told my boyfriend not to come round, he's all sad now but as caring and loving as he is, I did not want to feel smothered tonight.

Please dont anyone be worried, I do not intend to harm myself, I am safe, just sad.

Feeling really stressed out that I should be looking for a job but am uncertain as to whether, even if I got a job, that I would actually show up for it and be able to function. That's how bad my depression and feelings of insecurity are right now.

I know a job would be in my best interest right now - - just terrified about the prospect of it. I don't think my husband understands. I don't want my life to turn to sh--t, but I feel like that's where I'm at right now.

Cancelled everything yesterday. When my Mental Health Aide called to ask why, I didn't have a good reason for cancelling and broke down. Just no motivation. No... Less than no motivation. She came over. I feel better this morning. I'm staring a big pot of coffee in the face. That always feels hopeful.

I don't know what to call my mood. I called L'Oreal and all the lady said was to wash, wash, wash. Tried that..washed my hair four times! So a friend on fb told me laundry detergent.. so I did that.. my roots lightened a little. Then I went into some kind of determined, aggravated frenzy. I grabbed a bowl and poured dawn, lemon juice, tide, hand soap, toothpaste, and Pert. I then wrapped my hair in cling wrap. That helped a little, but alas still black but with red roots. I've had it!!! I'm going to give my hair/scalp 2 days to calm down (my scalp feels like it's sunburned as well as my forehead). Then I'm just going to put bleach, 10 vol peroxide, and shampoo on it! That will do it! Now I'm sitting watching tv and my muscles feel like they are pulsing.

I'm looking at studio apartments in my area since I would like a clean home. A lot of them come with utilities which is perfect. I'm hoping my boyfriend will like the idea and that maybe we can afford it. A clean home would do wonders in preventing mania and hopefully my OCD cleaning sprees would kick in.

I'm still depressed. I slept until noon today - 13 hours of sleep. I picked up my first prescription of Lamictal today - I'm hoping it will help. He's starting me on 25 mg for 2 weeks, then 50 mg for 4 weeks.

First time posting here. Figured I would. Doesn't hurt to check in here, too, from time to time I suppose. I was prepared for depression. I thought I could feel it coming. But something changed. I feel strangely. Good. I'm so hoping that's the Lamictal doing its job. The past week was... well, I can't even explain it. I was beginning to think it wasn't working. Maybe it is. I feel oddly optimistic right now. I certainly hope it's the Lamictal. That stuff isn't coming cheap. I had way too much energy the past few days. Was way too confrontational. And way too irritable. And now, I'm at this happy medium.

Have three assignments for school to get done. Maybe now that I've calmed, I can focus on them instead of a million other things.

Finals week! FINAL, FINALS, FINALS! Finally my brain has opened up like a blooming flower!! I have been a zombie for several weeks, so it is perfect timing. I think the Wellbutrin I started is doing it's magic! Saw my proc today, she is pleased with the results as am I, win-win! Now if I can get some sleep for my exam in the morning, wish me luck!!
