Work is going ok. I get home though and want to go straight to bed though. I stay up b/c I'm not tired. Just sit around and patiently wait for bed. I start Fanapt tonight, so we'll see how that goes.

My mood is still holding up pretty good. So I'm happy with that.

[blue_eyes23]

im doing well today, seem to be happy, its good, not overly happy, just strait line i guess.... i don't know what to think anymore really, its hard to figure out if its because of my new meds that i am feeling like this or if i truly am feeling like this

went to therapy yesterday and she told me i have homework, trying to get my negative thoughts under control. and i haven't seem to have them yet, so im waiting. or maybe i have and i just dont see it AHHHH IDK lol im nuts! but aren't we all?

Mood is ok but anxiety is elevated due to meeting the new T today.

[tigersassy]

Paranoid up up.... I can't shut up. What the heck? This is not acceptable. Everyone knows there is something wrong with me. I thought I was hidding it well. Wrong wrong..... But at least they are accepting the fact that I'm awesome. I really am the best at a bunch of things at work and they are starting to see that. Ramble ramble....

Mildly Hypomanic, which is good for my upcoming doctors appointments.

[leilana]

Sleepy very very sleepy

Pretty good today!

I finally got the mirena yesterday Having some cramping but not nearly as bad as I expected, I havent even needed to take any painkillers since it first got put in. So I am hoping from now on my PMDD will be fixed and I will enjoy stability ALL month. What a dream!

to all that are suffering today. I really feel for you guys, I appreciate how great I feel and wish I could share the good with you all.

Doing okay. Just realized that I don't really have any friends in my town. I hate it here.

Feeling a little low today. Am starting to get nervous about my husband being out of town for 5 days next week. It will be tough to be alone when depressed like this. I didn't mind it so much when he was gone the same amount of time over the summer when I was hypomanic. Still a little lonely, but didn't fear it as much. I'm sure I will survive somehow . . . Have already made plans with a friend to see a movie the weekend he's gone.

I had my knee surgery 2 days ago. Lots and lots of pain. They took away the morphine and gave me codeine now. Codeine is useless for me. I may as well take M & M's as codeine. Ow!!

I am so tired. Worked the food pantry at work this morning. Ended up standing outside for 3 hrs and pushing carts to people's cars. My back really hurts now. The fanapt is making me really tired. On day 2 and I haven't been seeing things, so that is good. The reviews for the med is bad though. Apparently it makes you fat and tired all the time. I'm going to have to work out a food plan so that doesn't happen. Can't afford to gain more weight.

I took my first Cymbalta pill today, am switching from Lexapro, if all goes well. It will take a month and then I see pdoc again. Anyone with Cymbalta experience out there?

I am in lots of pain from the cold weather due to Raynaud's disease (Scleroderma) and Arthritis. Also just took 4 mg of Gabapentin for the pain but am currently waiting for my Rheumatologist to call me back to see if I can get the right pain med for it. I do not think Gabapentin is the right one, was once prescribed to me by a pdoc but not for the kind of pain I am having right now at all.

I have to retain my sense of humor about this, as my next door neighbor called me "Stoned Lady" this AM re the pain pills, and it actually feels as if my lower left leg is having a baby, just like bad labor pains or severe menstrual cramps! I am not kidding! It scares my cats when I groan and yell. One of them is like a little nurse, she stays right next to me, talks to me and lies next to me until the med takes affect, sweet little nurse Cory. What is good about it is that I can still think and write emails.

Doing ok today. I'm kind of bored and feel isolated. I plan to get out in the sunshine and hopefully that will boost my mood a little bit.

Met with new T yesterday. She's referring me to a CBT for Anxiety group for my social anxiety issues. I'm nervous about it. I hate meeting new people. I hope the group helps. No need to individual therapy right now she says. She wants to see how the group is going, then re-evaluate.

[Blue_Bird]

Saw my pdpc today. Keeping meds where they're at for now . Pdoc and T want me to start a going to a group , its 3 days a week. I'm going to try it and go once next week to see how it goes , I'm really nervous . What else is new? Oh yeah I have a Case Manager now , that's supposed to be beneficial to me. I also have a job fair to go to on Saturday. Now THAT scares me.

To those that are starting groups - good luck! I have found groups to be beneficial. Just remember if you get ONE thing out of them, they have been worth doing. Its really not as scary as you think, everyone else is in the same boat and will all be very understanding of your pain and struggles.

Just woke up, feeling ok moodwise but a bit sick in the tummy and sore. I didnt find codine did anything for me either, and usually Im a light weight when it comes to pain meds! So Im giving up on the pain meds and just using the heat pack instead today.

Havent been recording my mood the last few days when it is most essential a bit mad at myself for that, I keep forgetting but I dont feel that is a good enough excuse.

Hey! I just started group therapy this week for my social anxiety, on Tues. Only 2 other girls and I am twice their age but our experiences were very similar. I have high hopes. Good luck with yours!

Good luck with your group too!

Still in a low mood. I really need a job! I'm sending out resumes, responding to craigslist ads and other online ads and am registered with a staffing agency. Something has to come through sooner or later - - I hope sooner! I'm bored and hate feeling unproductive/lonely.

[AnxietyGirl916]

Doing ok today. Babysitting 3 kids plus my own, so I'm trying not to lose my mind. A trip to the park when the weather warms up in a bit (high temp 72! I love CA) is in the future.

not doing so well. lowest i've been for a very long time.

plus, to top it all off, at the start of 2014 their was a death in the family (not fun!)

but yeah. right now finding it really hard to get by in every way possible- oh yeah, and while i'm posting o this thread, i was so on the edge about stuff and thinking about the end that i actually deleted all my music from my computer (or most of it!) and tonight i've decided that i want to ask around to try and get what i can, back.

Mwahahahahah!
That is all.

[swheaton]

Mood is better. Now waiting for my head cold to leave.
