I spent the weekend depressed but was at least able to read on my book. Today I'm still depressed and a little angry with the world aka feeling sorry for myself. I just don't really care anymore. They delived my tombstone last week so I'm ready whenever. It is beautiful though. Didn't want my daughter to have to deal with it after I'm gone.

Been feeling depressed for a few weeks, laying in bed all the time, and today woke up and took my anger towards my fiance blew up. I screamed at him and his friend over god knows what. Feeling horrible.

Funny how life works. I have been losing my anxiety now too. I hope it's me not worrying instead of me not caring. There are things I am just not worrying about any longer.
I still have trouble keeping my spending in check, and I am still excited over new things....but it's not as bad as it once was.
Racing thoughts have dwindled too. They do start first thing when I wake up but no longer are they constant or preventing me from getting to sleep.
I am still a bit stressed out and get agitated when things move too quickly. That seems to be my focus now, controlling that.
It's amazing how much has changed since the depression is gone!
OMG it's like a new life!!

Lost a day. Two?? Meds. some. Exhausted daze. It's been rough. Can't tell work. Didn't go. Or call. Don't know what to say. Can't say what it is. Can't say I'm afraid to leave the house. Or why. Or anything remotely related to why.
Make it go away. Wake me up when it's ok again.

Have broken out in hives and am waiting to hear back from my pdoc about what he thinks I should do (I'm on lamictal.) I really don't want to stop the lamictal and start all over again with another mood stabilizer, but we'll see what he has to say.

Other than that, doing ok today. Not wonderful, but ok.

Did ya miss me? LOL!

I'm doing well. Seeing a new pdoc on Friday (new insurance) and I'm nervous about that. Not so much seeing the new pdoc but the cost. We have a high deductible plan now and my copays are insanely high. I'm worried that I won't be able to afford my meds anymore and for once in my life I'm stable and happy!

I've recently realised I've even in a desperate mission to try and get others to save me, and it backfired greatly.

Get off your lazy backside and save yourself Megan.

Finding it hard to get moving today, although I havent yet tried very hard... Ativan hangover and just a general meh feeling after the last two days of doc appointments. Half tempted to have a coffee but I do not want to bring on anxiety again after I have been spending 4 days fighting it. Need to go and spend some time out in the sunlight, then might start the day with some meditation, I always feel better after holosync.
Thanks for this!

Definitely better today. Even have some energy(!) (That's been very lacking lately.) I've got to go to the laundromat though. That could ruin the whole thing. Ugh, laundry. Rather important chore, so whaddya gonna do?

Looking forward to my husband's post-holiday office party tomorrow night. Even though I've been going up to my bedroom around 5 p.m. each night (to lie there until I take my sleep meds at 9 p.m. - - symptom of my depressive phase), I will make the effort to show up and support him as his wife.

Mood has lifted slightly. I don't feel quite so hopeless.

Feels like another good day today. Walked 1.5 miles and getting ready to do some yoga. Gotta shed some of these pounds my meds made me gain.

Saw pdoc today. Start Prozac soon, have to watch out for having a manic episode. Hopefully it helps with depression though.

Went to work today after the worst day I've had in a long time. Actually was productive and friendly. Talked through what happened with my trusted friend for that sort of thing. Successfully pushed the bad thoughts away because I was consciously recognizing them. Ready to meet a new p doc on Monday and I know what I need from her now so I am feeling positive that it will help. Very grateful for my friends and boyfriend who helped me. And grateful for this place

Hypomania on the horizon at all times. Can't tell how I am coming across with people, worried about alienating people. Happy doing good work I like, insecure in my relations, to intense for everyone, trying to stay on top of mood tracking. Diet has been helping me, but it seems that it only helps so much. Not too bad overall...
