Feeling blah. Went out on a first date tonight. Nice guy, but not dangerous enough for me. I can never seem to like anyone that would be good for me.

3 days of feeling extremely sad. Feel like there are triggers all around. Just sitting with it but went for a walk and attended self care and had a coffee with my brother. I'm sure tomorow will be better. Also used the beyond blue counselling chat line to help get me through last night.

A bit agitated and anxious. But on the mend, I hope. I want to regain control of my emotions.

Looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow ... Kinda. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with planning stuff for work right now. Got a lot on my plate at the moment... Not enough hours and energy.

Pretty calm right now but that's because I only got a few hours of sleep. So, I guess I should say groggy or bleh.

I think I am climbing out of the darkness, for a while at least. Yesterday and today have been great mood and anxiety wise.

Today I was pretty proud of myself. I cooked both breakfast and dinner. Then I washed laundry in between and finished up a letter to my bf. I then chatted with a friend abt our live lives and upcoming weekly plans.

Meds are making me feel zombie like. I don't like it. And some symptoms are not going away. Had to get a special allowance for work to miss our all store meeting its scheduled from 8pm-10pm and they expect me to still come it at 5:30am. Theres also a half an hour drive both ways too. Got the okay to miss the meeting though.

The same. Still depressed. I didn't go to physio today. It's -49 with the wind chill. I have an appointment with my pdoc on Wednesday. I hope it's warmer then. I hope he increases my lamictal. 150 mg isn't doing much for me.

awful, day 4 of the on/off cycle of lowest dose of effexor and I have vertigo, headaches, nausea and crying like an idiot for hours. So frustrated as I can lierally feel the weight pile on as I lie here but I know I have to accept that this needs to be sorted in order for me to move on in my goal to reach an acceptable level of well being. peace and love to you all xx

Saw my pdoc today, and making some med changes. Dropping strattera and increasing wellbutrin. Also maybe cut out the seroquel. So it's good, I'm going to be on less overall, but med changes are always hard because I don't know what to expect. I found out that it's going to be harder to get to my medical appointments without work finding out they are for mental health, so that's stressing me out. I felt like crying this morning at work, but I kept it together. Now it's just low grade depression that never seems to end. It feels like I change meds every time I see my pdoc, but it never seems to make a difference. She disagreed with that, and said that I am much better now, which is true overall, but I'm still depressed. It's getting harder to fake being OK around work, and I don't want to burden friends or family with worrying about me. I'm so sick of feeling this way.

I feel so afraid. I took a Xanax but it's not helping. I'm starting my job again after a months leave because I injured my wrist but it's too much too soon. Idk what to do anymore. Anxiety, adjusting to new medication/stressors and a tic disorder. What do you have left if you can't control your emotions or your body?

Feeling sorry for myself today. Strange things set me off- like this thing with the NFL player coming out and now he's a hero and even got a call from the White House. I have no problem with gays- some of my best friends are gay. I believe in equal rights for all. But why can't I "come out" about my illness? I bet if he said "I'm bipolar" instead of "I'm gay", he wouldn't be a hero. He certainly wouldn't hear from the president, and he may not have been drafted. Why is that? And I'm told it's not my fault, but others judge. So I'm feeling sorry for myself today, that I have to hide who I am and how I feel every day. I have to lie about why I can't go to work sometimes or meet a friend or take on volunteer responsibilities. I have to sit at PTA meetings and with friends and family and smile and joke when all I want to do is cry and ask them for help. If I was gay, I may be a hero. But as bipolar, I'm just a sick, possibly dangerous, freak. So I'm sad and pathetic today.

I agree completely. I'm tired of the stigma for MI. Why can't we "come out"?

I absolutely LOVE the way u phrased it. "Why can't we come out". I sit and listen to so many ppl tell their bleed heart woos. How they hurt, what battles they've been through or are going through. I mean no disrespect but all the while I'm trying to keep from losing my mind, I'm trying to keep from having an emotional melt down, to stay out the psych hospital and to keep my insurance. But unlike them there is VERY little sympathy for me bc I have a MI. I do not have a medical condition. I have a sister with asthma. If she's in the hospital my family will break their necks to call her at the hospital AND go visit her. When the weather is bad they call her and tell her what not to do. They've never once took the time to learn abt MI. Commercials on TV are geared 98% for medical conditions. Society would like MI to stay in the closet and not be talked abt. A lot of families do not help in the matter either such as mine.
