Very freaky drive to work tonite. I seen 4 lights circles very dim in the sky rotating and then coming together to be one then exploding into 4 again spinning around each other. I'm thinking WTF is that? Am I hallucinating or are they UFO's? Cuz they did not look like spot lights used at carnivals. They were too small and very dim, the looked about the size of dime in the sky but very dim almost ghostly. It was freaking me out because I was not sure if I was hallucinating or if this was real! I felt like pulling over and asking some one if they seen them too but what if they didn't? I'd look crazy. So I kept driving looking at them and I noticed when I turned they changed positions but still there, had to be real I'm thinking but still not sure. I drove for about 10 minutes kind of slow so not to lose the lights because I wanted to find their origin. Well I found it. Some stupid furniture store had these crazy lites that shoot in to the sky and swirl around in circles and come together and expand again. They looked really cheap so that explained why there were so dim! I was pissed and relieved. Pissed because they made me doubt myself and late for work, and relieved I was not hallucinating this time!

Indie, that is really interesting, I am glad you were not hallucinating! I wonder how many people get caught up in instances like this but never find the source? I love the idea of UFOs, I hope we are not alone!
Thanks for this!

I remember when I was about 10 living in Phoenix. When a theater had a movie premier they'd install 4-6 searchlights outside the theatre. They caused weird looking lights in the sky too. I'm talking 1962-63.

I took the lamictal and now I'm up at 6 am instead of noon. What am I going to do for 16 hours? It's very dark outside.

Very confident, happy, energetic. Still not sleeping, only problem is there are too many hours in the day, they go by way too slow when my mind is moving so fast. That's the only downside to how I feel, otherwise I'm doing great. I don't think I'm going to crash or anything. I really might just stop taking my medicine, I feel way too great, it's definitely going to last I can tell. Now would be the perfect time to have a job interview! feeling like I can do anything, no anxiety whatsoever.

Doing very well today. I'm at my daughters so I know that helps, but I really think the Prozac is working. How great it would be if the depression is really lifting.

Took my youngest to a movie this morning and now out with a friend. Maybe we'll go out to eat later. I like my friend.

I just found out that I'll be alone for Christmas just like I was for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving sucked. My kids are all busy going to Florida for the holidays. One daughter is going right before Christmas for 2 weeks and one is going right after Christmas. My younger daughter & husband own a house in Orlando. I hate my life. I think my kids hate me. I hate being alone.

Was knocked out until 1pm today. My goodness. The meds really, really make me drowsy. Not necessarily a bad thing. At least I wake up feeling mostly refreshed.

I'm around. I haven't been posting much lately as I'm wrapping up a few loose ends at work. Friday is my last day. Working on a schedule to help me stay up on my jewelry business and not get depressed by being alone for 10 hours a day.

I'm doing ok today. I think my increase in Lamictal is helping to keep me awake during the day. Which is a good thing. I take 5 meds that make me sleepy. A 12 hour day is extremely good!

Does anyone else find that lamictal gives them insomnia? I woke up at 3 this morning. That hasn't happened since I was hypo in August. I need sleep.

In the beginning, I found it was the exact opposite. It made me drowsy. Now, I'm not entirely sure. It's still helping me sleep, but I did have some trouble sleeping last night. And I woke repeatedly. I hope this doesn't become a trend. The drowsiness was making it a wonder drug for me since I had insomnia before taking it.

I am so freakin tired of this episode and this depakote, my son constantly says I look high, I cant stay awake, I have no energy to do anything, my husband is completely frustrated with me. I'm seriously thinking about inpatient because even though I dont want to die I want to shut myself off and go away for a while. I'm just tired. I keep having crying spells cause I'm lonesome, even when there's people here, I dont know what I'm going to be like left all alone this week. I just feel so bad and I'm tired of feeling bad. I'm hanging on, I see my ther tomorrow and I'll try to see my pdoc as well before Wed. Somethings gotta give.

It does me too. That's why the pdoc gave me the klonopin. Now I have no trouble sleeping.

I was quite emotional yesterday. I wouldn't call it depressed but not sure what to call it....the blues maybe?
Anyway I got over it after I heard from my sweetie. She just makes my heart happy and I don't care about anything else.

I'm still depressed. I got up at noon. I just had a heart to heart talk with my younger daughter and now I feel better. I'm flying there for Christmas. I hope the lamictal starts to work soon.

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning... it was after noon before I finally dragged out of bed. Yet since I got out of bed I've been productive. I applied for a teller job online. They sent me an online teller assessment. I passed it and now maybe, just maybe I'll get a call for an interview. I've also given Rukia a bath, put on a load of laundry and unloaded then loaded the dishwasher. I can't seem to sit still for too long.

I didn't think I would crash but I did. Just laying here wishing I wasn't alive. No motivation to do anything. I just don't care anymore.
