I've been there! I try to control everything and end up getting nothing done. If you feel that you need to talk to someone, every city has a help line. Sometimes just talking to someone you don't know can be a relief. They don't know you or you them. You can just unload! Take care of yourself.

Terrible terrible terrible day today. Im so frustrated and angry and hopeless. I dont know what to blame... Im coming off zeldox, my menstrual cycle is so unpredictable I dont know if its that, I have been so over the fact that this is my life lately, maybe I am just fed up with it all. My friends are all starting to take a step back after my rants to them yesterday. My boyfriend took my car because after months he still has no car. I cant run the errands or go to the group I was planning on going to today because he doesnt even try to save money for his own car. I want to go off at him but thats just going to make us both feel like crap. So incredibly over EVERYTHING!

Tired mixed-up ball of you-name-it. Barely slept last night. Normally, that doesn't result in tiredness, but then spent all day having the physical sensations of a moderate panic attack. The entire freaking day. Think it wore me out. Generally overwhelmed. Right down to the very basic stuff. Good thing I finally managed to force my sorry carcass to check the oil though. There wasn't any. Doing ok sometimes. Interspersed with massive pangs of various sorts (too complex).
Can't really say depressed or hypo.... just kind of an existential chaos the balance of which is not-at-all encouraging.
Right now, just so very tired.

(This took over an hour and a half to write, if that's any indication. Trying to motivate for a shower. So very much un-. Need to get to bed. Cannot seem to remove self from chair. Uncomfortable chair. WTH.)

I'm feeling great! Other than that being that I really have no life right now I'm having serious trouble filling up my now apparently 21 hour day with things to do since I can't sleep more than 3 hours.

Totally not fun to have your sister throw your diagnosis in your face. Using it as a way to insult you.

This has been a terrible day. Terrible. Terrible. I want to just crawl into bed and sleep and wake up and pretend it never happened. Lousy part is, I can't get to sleep.

I'm feeling pretty stable today. Just a bit down. Better than before the Prozac seems to be working.

[AnxietyGirl916]

Stable (finally). Been stable for about 2 weeks now. Yay! Today is my last day at work and it should be easy peasy. Clinical case review all morning followed by staff lunch and probably not much work after that. Plus, it's Friday, which always makes me happy.

This is SO unacceptable!! It makes me incredibly angry!!!! I am so sorry you have to deal with that!

It would not be ok to make fun of someone with down syndrome would it? We are no more capable of controlling our condition than people with other medical problems!!

Still a lump on the couch. Yesterday I walked 2 blocks to the drug store to pick up prescriptions - that was it. But my best friend is coming to town today so going out for coffee with her will get me out for awhile.

I'm finally feeling a little different, not tearful; obsessive intrusive thoughts arent as bad, still have the topic though; I've been able to be involved today in my son's wedding plans this afternoon. I still took a nap but it was only for an hour and a half and is partly a new med side effect, not the need to 'shut down' like before. Now if my ear starts improving maybe by Monday I will see a bigger difference. Thats when I see my T again.

much improved at this time, wishing everyone the best, some meds change, exercise step up, better stress reduction, heart to heart (good) w fam!

Woke up at 2 this morning and made bread. Thought it was a great idea.

[Blue_Bird]

Finally got some sleep after a few weeks of only sleeping a few hours a night. Not having anymore negative thoughts. Now the only thing I have to deal with is what I think is akathisia, I've been unable to sit still since starting Abilify but it's gotten worse over the past month, also my concentration which is already normally bad is a lot worse, I can only focus on something for maybe a minute.

Great day emotionally. Feeling pretty balanced. Not so great physically, though. Under the weather. Upped Lamictal like I was told this past week. Been sleeping decently enough again. Let's see how long that lasts this time.

[gruvingal]

I was manic for about a week and a half until four days ago, then the down side came rushing in. I am back to pacing the house and wanting to sleep all the time. My fibromyalgia is attacking and my whole body aches. At least when I'm manic I get a few things done. When I'm depressed nothing gets done.

SSSNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Ugh!

[Phoenix_1]

I slept 12 hours last night. This is getting ridiculous. I hope the lamictal starts to work soon.

HOPING I am lost in some kind of BP2 swing. Otherwise life has taken a cruel turn on me and I hate it once again.

Hi
I was feeling low in energy and motivation for a week. A few thoughts troubling me but today went to my regular exercise class (usually go twice a week) that I missed last week so feeling good that I have done that today.

I was still on my emotional hypo whatever the hell you call it....freakin out cause I hadn't heard from my new girlfriend in a long day...totally unlike her...so I went right off the damn deep end....had nightmare after nightmare running thru my head....geeze did I feel like a damn fool when she finally got in touch with me and told me about all the trouble with her cell phone...the only place she had my number and couldn't remember it. I am just now coming down from the whole nightmarish episode.
Exhausted too.

Feeling some improvement, I've done some ME things, saw my therapist this morning and we have concluded women our age may deal with menopause stuff like brain fog but men our age get stupid. Not really but it was good to kind of joke. Still trying to figure out what my new identity should be. Batman would be fun! Maybe next week my ear will be healed and the pool heater fixed and I will feel like going back to water class. I do kind of miss it.

Doing great, still stable. This was my first official day home from work (aka unemployed). I got a lot accomplished. Housework, exercise, laundry, and even made a couple pieces of jewelry. I already have stuff on my to-do list for tomorrow and I'm scheduling out my days to make sure I'm being productive and not watching tv all day.

I keep being ill!!!

On and off since Sept/October now, I've been getting sick. It seems like each time it's really the same thing - JUST my stomach. It'll feel like there's sharp pains and then it will feel like I am going to throw up... and it may or may not result in actually throwing up.

It'll go from 0 to 20 instantly, and then last for a few hours or a day or so.

I'm so sick of it I finally went to the ER on Sunday and they gave me some meds to try. But he didn't say what is actually wrong! Just "it's not a bladder infection"... which I didn't think it was. My pharmacist told me to call and make a doctor's appointment too, so I did and I'll actually be in on Wednesday.

I am having too many health issues this year
