TRIGGER WARNING: SUI

Despite being really depressed and constantly tiptoeing into sui territory, I am really loyal about things I have promised to do. So my boyfriend makes me promise every day to talk to him tomorrow. So far I guess it's working.

Just got a shower and put my pajamas on. Always feels good! Letting my hair air dry, too. Put a bit of leave-in conditioner in it. The kids need to get started on their homework!

A little sad today. Doesn't feel like it's going into a depression episode thankfully, just feels like the normal ups and downs of life.

So its just clicked, I am still in depression. Despite my positive attitude and lack of saddness and crying, the other symptoms are just too prevalent to ignore. I really thought I could beat it if I stayed positive and active. Not sure where to go from here. I wasnt keen on changing my meds but I have been trying really really hard and its not getting me any better. I am still able to function but it is such a struggle, and I know it can be better than this.

I'm doing better...upping my meds was definitely the right move! I'm still down overall, and more anxious, but it's not nearly as bad.

I'm doing okay today. I've realized I need a life. Don't have one at all right now. I keep isolating myself, its so easy to get comfortable being alone. I'm not sure where to start, volunteering? Maybe something to get me out of the house a few times a week and around people. I miss having a daily schedule, I think that's extremely important in relation to mood cycles.

Volunteering is great. It saved my life, I am sure of it, I've been doing it on and off for 15 years now. I got lucky and found a field that is perfect for my interests. I also find that having a good daily routine helps me. It sounds like you are quite proactive in your treatment. I am really proud of you for that.

I'm ok, very nervous and jumpy. I am meeting my ex best friend for lunch. I haven't seen her in 17 years! Hopefully the connection is still there. I am proud of myself for setting this up, hard to do when you can't get off the couch.

i did a really stupid thing this afternoon

watched emmerdale (which i watch every day anyway), but no one told me how triggery today's episode was..... god!

in the space of an hour, almost every bad intense thought was triggered by emmerdale (i did try to turn it off, but felt bad for not watching it) so i watched it to the end

now i feel blah!. like, really blah

Haven't been on here in a long long time, but thought I'd jump in. Feeling manic. Not the worst I've ever been. Dr just prescribed Lithium 2 days ago (300mg) and doubled it today because I called to leave the NP a message explaining why I don't think I'm having a mixed episode. I said she didn't need to call me back because I just wanted her to know, but she called back anyway. She said I sound "keyed up."

too exhausted for words. Good thing I am not depressed, but I am having a hard time not spending myself into the poor house again. I am doing my best to keep it to things I actually NEED, not just crap I see I want.

Feeling a little better. I got over being mad - what's the point really. I'm doing my laundry at long last. And I weighed myself on the doctor's scale downstairs and found out that I lost 7 pounds.

Anxious and sick at my stomach! Yesterday I got a call from an out of state number (I don't answer numbers I don't know). I was going to check the voicemail but forgot all about it. Well I just checked it and it's from the job fair I went to- they were wanting to set up a second interview. I called back but got a voicemail. I left a message, but what if it's too late?? What if by not checking my messages yesterday, I missed this job?? It would be a good job for me right now- low stress and only minutes from the house- possibly only part time, but still.. Ahhhhhh my stomach!

Had lunch with a friend today, took the dogs for a walk, and - - most importantly - - found that I could work on my legal brief and actually focus and think straight for a couple of hours.

Today would have been my fourth day in a row of feeling like my depression had lifted. When I realized I could only focus on my work for 2 hours (pouring over medical documents for the brief), my head started spinning, I felt overwhelmed and anxious and then questioned whether my depression has really lifted.

How do I know when I'm "normal" (not hypo or depressed)? It's so confusing to me . . . Any thoughts on this one?

depression not lifting. No matter how many people I force myself to.socialize with, I feel so alone.

Though, one of my friends practically tackled me.with a hug earlier today after she saw a tumblr post by me about self harm and why people shouldn't be jerks about it. That was nice.

hope everyone has a great day
Oh shattered sanity, I know such emails can be unsettling, gotten a few myself, usually ok, I think. i had a few bad thoughts the other day myself, and felt badly treated for a long time by a few of my favorite people. Then started rethinking that. Till I got to that point, I was in pain. So sorry you have been, hope you just hang in there, I know you're appreciated here on PC, I've sure enjoyed a number of your posts. Feel free to PM or stop by or not, you're in my thoughts. hope your day gets better, too! warm wishes, Anneo

so sorry, can relate, hope you get med appropriate, and it might be easier at home then! It's tough, this BP stuff and meds and living with non-BP spouse! But it can be ok, too. Warm wishes your way!
