better than in a while, laughing and enjoying with family members and friend. I actually threw my head back and LLH, don't know as much of that as I used to lately, unfortunately. Maybe more coming, we will c. Also, accomplishing an important goal. All in all, a purposeful, happy day. Although it's one day at a time, well, it's one day at a time!
Thanks for this!

Still feeling crappy about life in general. Still hate my job, still depressed, and I'm worried about falling asleep behind the wheel because of my meds. I even started taking them at night but it hasn't helped. About 50% of my job is driving, so this is alarming. Even though I fantasize about sui, I'd still never do it and I certainly don't want my demise to be in a car!

Thanks, Anika! Heheh, psych said to get more sleep too.

What a couple of days. Was on strong verge of crying all day at work Weds. Didn't quite know why. Had psych appt. It was pretty obvious I needed to go back sooner than later. As I didn't have work, I made it for the very next day (today). In the interim? BF launched on me. Even though I knew the diatribe was unfair and loaded with wild exaggeration, it still hurt like hell.

Appointment today was hands down the most intense I've ever had. Man, did I ever let go. I am usually very guarded. It was like dominoes. One wall after another crashing. (Crying right now just thinking on it.) I was a mess. It was like I put every fear and insecurity right out on the table. Holy ****. (Maybe not every, but lots. And major.)

So, came out dazed, and had to wait awhile to drive. Came home to a warm hug. Did that ever feel good! Then I walked in the door. A bunch of BF's favorite things are off the wall and a shelf of stuff too. I just laid down numb. Now...the meaning is not entirely clear. And I'm really not up to asking. (There are essentially 3 possibilities.)

The rest of the day was... not that unusual. Rather unexpectedly so, but a relief for sure, because my mental is exhausted.

Doing alright, not sleeping well at all though. I get to see about that volunteer job today so that's good Also, I started mood charting, printed them out from http://www.psychtoolkit.com/uploads/...v_06-24-11.pdf. I think it will be interesting to see mood patterns and different factors that affect them.

Lost a love interest tonight, he wasn't my type but I kind of was liking him. He ended it though because I never want to talk about sex. LOL. Good riddance! The mania is settling in anyway. Its 5 am and I'm still awake!

I'm doing alright today. Feel kinda like a loser though. It's my birthday today and I turned 29. I don't have much to show for my life. I thought I'd be so much farther along in life. Stupid bipolar. I was talking to my mom on sunday, and she was talking about how my cousins kids are disappointments, and I asked her if I was a disappointment, and she said "not all the way." Thanks mom, for thinking so highly of me.

I was doing so good, but had a setback yesterday. I thought I had worked through it but nope. I'm back on the couch.. trying to talk myself into eating something. I did take a bath and put a load of clothes on to wash so that's something I guess.

In a terrible mixed state.

Just was at a convention receiving an award for my job performance, but can't get thoughts of suicide out of my head. I shouldn't be alone this weekend, but the thought of spending time with anyone feels horrendous.

I still hate myself today. Can't figure out why. I think the lack of a life has something to do with it.

Rough day today. Had a ridiculously rough day yesterday (was so anxious it took 2.5mg of klonopin for me to fall asleep, and I usually only take 1 or 1.5 at the most), and it kind of rolled over into today. Doesn't help that I'm sick either. But at least the depression is lifting. The anxiety, not so much, but hopefully it will start to soon.

I do! But I don't hate myself that much today. Which is odd. I hate the way I look mostly. But today was a good day. Manic as usual, especially at night.

I do. I hate that I'm an introvert which makes getting out of the apartment 10 more difficult than it should be, even when I feel good. I hate that I have almost no friends. I hate my looks too. I hate that I'm overweight from the meds.

I'm feeling better today. So long as i can keep away the memories of past regrets, missed opportunities, and all the people i hurt during my last manic phase, I can make something out of the day. But my little doggy is sleeping on me right now so i cannot get up

I'm ok. Probably because it's Saturday. I do have to go to the office, but it's for a Halloween party, but it's not technically work, so I'm ok with it.

Woke up to the usual rushing thoughts and rapid run through of events but was able to get beyond it and have a good day.

Just doing laundry and blogging in my bipolar blog. I hopefully have a date tomorrow, but we shall see. It has fallen through the cracks more times than not.
