Am pleased that I made it through my husband's office holiday party last night, despite my ongoing depression. Today will walk at the mall with a friend and have lunch. Probably dinner with my husband later. Am beginning to think I should go off lamictal in hopes that these hives will go away.

Very anxious today. New pdoc, new insurance, and worried about the high cost of my meds. High deductible plans SUCK.

Saw new pdoc yesterday. I like her. She spent a whole hour with me :-). My last pdoc didn't. Anyway, she upped my lamictal, reduced my Abilify (weaning me off of it) and suggested I go to therapy due to my anxiety. I meet the new T next week. I found out I don't have a copay for office visits and my meds only cost $68. Yay!

I've been keeping a diary on my smartphone since March. I read back the last 2 weeks and I found I've been very irritable and didn't even know it. Now I'm more aware of it, maybe I can do something to fix it. Gotta learn to practice mindfulness more often.

1st day of Prozac. I know it takes a while to work. Taking it along with my other meds so no mania yet thankfully. I really hope this will be what pulls me out of the depression.

Coming out of low fortnight. Sometimes think i should up mood stabiliser as low dose maybe not therapeutic but don't want to. Will have blood levels checked prior to appointment and keep it the same until I see pdoc in February.

Not depressed per se, though I can't seem to do much or care about anything and keep crying (3 f'ing hours last night alone). It's situational. Still, it sucks. Rejection sensitivity is through the roof, and all kinds of it have snowballed together along with a major self-esteem issue into a big ol' pile of what's the point? I just give and give and for what? Feeling very hurt and alone. The typical numbness of my depressions is looking pretty good right now. Maybe it's wrong, but I'd trade.

I'm getting scared about my knee surgery on Tuesday. I don't tolerate pain killers well. Morphine makes me so dopey that I can't stand up. Demerol makes me extremely hyper, so I can't take it. Codeine doesn't work at all. I'm scared of the pain. I'm scared of the hospital. I wish it was over.

Antsy angry rageful racing thoughts all at once. Suspicious of everyone; want to talk to people but also don't. Hate every topic of conversation that comes up and everything that comes out of my own mouth.
I only recently got diagnosed with bipolar, and I've been feeling this coming on and hating it. I thought back in the beginning of last month that I was finally getting past my depression with a vengeance, or something. I dunno. Feeling bitter and snippy. |

Trying hard to hang in there, appointment with my T Wednesday. Looking forward to that, got a lot to talk about. Prozac is treating me good, no mania probably thanks to the other medications I'm on. I actually almost miss mania, it feels amazing and would be a nice break from this depression. Oh well, looks like I just got to hold out and wait for the Prozac to kick in or once its increased for normal stability.
I'm so ready to get rid of this depression, I sit in the dark staring at walls for hours a day or pace around constantly. I drive myself crazy and have no life at all. I need help .

Procrastinating... I have a lot to do today and so far all I have done is take a nap... Now Im thinking I will get started on things after lunch. I havent even got dressed yet and its after 1pm. I feel like I am recovering from the weekend, but it was so hot on the weekend we did nothing but sit around. I suspect that is why I am so tired today. This is what happens when I have too much to do on any one day, I dont do any of it! Annoying pattern I was hoping I got out of.

Its been 5 months now with Effexor and still going strong. Depression is gone, and I am experiencing normal mood swings for the first time in over 30 years.
I still have some hypo issues....I get excited easily and have to watch for that. I still like to spend money like I am rich...and I am far from it. Sometimes I get racing thoughts and can't quiet them...but its much better than before the effexor. Not having to filter everything thru depression is a wonderful way to live. God this is great! |

Touchy like an exposed nerve & everyone keeps poking at it! Trying hard to balance between where I am,& where I want to be so my "poles" won't tip to one side or the other.
