The thoughts have lessened and my mood has gotten a bit better. My son and his fiance just moved back in with a dog and cat and thats actually a good thing! Unfortunately I woke up to an ear infection but that is something I know will improve with the antibiotic. I think some of my problems with being so tired and lacking energy has been the viibryd, I've only been on it 12 days and its been an obvious energy change from before and after I take it, even my hub has commented on it, so I am waiting to find out if I can take it at night. Or just wait til tomorrow when I see my pdoc to talk about all this stuff.

My weekend was more down then I've been in while. I thought it would never leave, because I always feel that way when things are really black. But, here I am on Tuesday feeling great. The pendulum swings. It is a relief from feeling so horrible. I even got the baking done my mom needed for her special diet.

I accomplished nothing today. But I did get up at 7 am instead of noon. I guess that's a step forward. What a very long day. And it's only suppertime. At least Tuesday night has good TV shows to watch.

yesterday was very high anxiety and some moderate depression. days when i have T are always like that. today i feel more of a chaotic sort of energy, cant keep track of my thoughts and feelings very well. cant stop shaking my leg and tapping my fingers. not feeling bad, not feeling great either. maybe kinda mixed? looking forward to going to sleep tonight, hoping ill be able to, because im not liking this frazzled feeling.

Well, on the bright side, the depression is tame compared to what I'm used to. But still. UGH.

Please let the next 2 weeks go by fast so I can finally see my pdoc and get things adjusted, feeling like I've been in a mixed state the past few weeks. I want to be stable again

Me too. 5 hours of sleep last night. I hope the lamictal doesn't make me hypomanic.

I have no desire to shower and go anywhere today and I have so much to do. I'm just a lump on the couch and have been all week. Sigh...

Bit all over the place, Lithium is a real pain in the *** to take, horrible not being able to take any NSAID's or Ibuprofen for Muscular pain and spent the last 2 days looking up every single ingredient in 4 different post/intra workout supplements as I'm still lacking the ability to tap into my energy reserves when working out. The only real concern is the caffeine but Im hoping if its a daily dose and im having my bloods done 3 weekly should be ok right ??

I worked my butt off this morning applying to different jobs online and got a call just now about one I applied for! It certainly wouldn't be my dream job, but it would be a job. I have a preliminary phone interview with HR tomorrow.

Saw my pdoc, all kinds of change in the works as far as meds, hopefully this works fast. A little tearful today but I havent slept all afternoon like all of the last week. Had to go to urgent care today too, my infected ear popped so now I'm on oral antibiotics and drops to treat it. This next week may not be the best because of new med side effects but surely things have got to get better! I only have 2 weeks to get myself together for family Thanksgiving! Eeek!

I had a session with my T today. It went well and she said this is the best she's ever seen me! I really think we've got my meds right! I have a lot of energy. I've been cleaning and cleaning! She told me I have to be out of the CSU for at least 6 weeks before I can be considered for vocational rehabilitation. But in the mean time I have been applying to every retail store I can think of! So far I haven't heard back from any of them. I only have about 5 more weeks of unemployment left, but I'm still positive! I have faith!!

My cat didn't come back this morning, he always does I hope he's just sulking because we didn't let him in last night as he tends to tear up the house but it was a bit cold now I'm wracked with guilt. hundred and one neural pathways connecting. no rest no peace just thoughts upon thoughts.

I haven't left the house or showered in days I hope my seroquel kicks in soon, but I no longer feel as angry so that's a plus. I agreed to chair an AA mtg Friday so I'll have to get out of the house - guess that's a good thing.

Over everything today. I wouldnt say I am depressed (at the moment I have VERY clear physical symptoms when I am depressed and they are not present) but I am completely over this life. I have been trying desperately for years to make it worth living... I think I am burnt out from trying so hard for so long with very little reward.

Depressive episode has set in. I've been completely stable for over 6 months, so this is really frustrating. Pdoc saw me yesterday and changed up some meds, but it will take some time for them to kick in. My therapist would like me to go into the hospital as I crash hard and fast, but I'm not at that point yet. I'm watching it though. I have enough experience with this now that I'm pretty good at self monitoring and taking appropriate steps. Just really frustrated.

My cat came back Thanks . So relieved about that but the thoughts did not stop moving around and now shifting to paranoia, just been given a leaflet "Can the dead really live again" I live in nowhere land they came out to nowhere to give me this leaflet. And I have choir tonight, the links are undeniable , the shame... I am feeling ( not working hard enough) I am working on the choir logo. I haven't done enough. Maybe they are pissed off that there is a secular angle to the design . Maybe I shouldn't have done that? Maybe i should stick to mediocre watercolours rather than symbolism which relies heavily on the powerful geometry, I see there is a mountain inside my little scribble.
I wish I wasn't here on my own. I didn't want my Husband to leave this morning, I am having a hard time with my thoughts. I don't feel safe and I don't know the best way to navigate this.i am aware that I am in a really volatile situation

I just feel sad. Sad and listless. I don't feel like doing anything. When will this end?
