I.have so much anxiety cause social security is looking over my case to make sure I'm still disabled. This is very common...after a few years they always reevaluate but this is my first time and I'm freaked out! I'm stable and managing my symptoms because I dont have to hold down a ft job. I work very pt and enjoy getting out of the house. My pdoc said I have nothing to worry about but I still Am! It comes with the territory of having bp2, bpd, depression, anxiety and ptsd. Has anyone else had to go through a revaluation of their disability through social security? Please hero if you can. This has caused me to go into a hypo state as I'm very aggitated and full of fear and worry. I'm constantly ruminating and I want off this roller coaster. Anyone? Thank you.

Really sleepy. All I want to do is stay in bed. Not interested in much of anything. Don't feel hopeless, though, so that's a plus.

Slight manic/hypomanic shopping spree. But I still remember that I need to pay the bills first. Bookmarked 35 pieces of clothing and a headset, need to wait until bf checks how much money I have left after the bills first. Hate waiting! Oh, the pain!!!

When I was 16 I swore I would never do anything I would regret later.

Oops.

Still happy about the clothes though.

So torn. Feel like I should leave the house even just for a coffee, but I don't want to.

I know how you feel. I have to go out to buy milk and a bus pass, but the very thought fills me with terrible anxiety.

I am full of anxiety because I have to have a mental status exam to see if I get approved for disability. My anxiety is at a 10 and it's making me hypomanic. I have to go on Tuesday and I know that worrying will not change the outcome but I cannot help it.

Today I am feeling... Lonely. I've recently just cut ties with a guy I was seeing as I was gaining nothing from the "friendship". I was beginning to feel used and unworthy. Not good. It sucked big time! I just feel like I have so much to give and I yearn for that bond with someone, like a physical need for it. One day!

I'm pretty chipper. Started to turn into a turbo freak and spin out of control, but for some reason I caught myself and sat down. That is my new mantra: sit down. I just sit down. It works pretty good. So here I am.

I did get my errands done today. Then while I was waiting for the bus to go home I bought a new purse. Oops. It goes well with the 20 purses I already have.

I think there are much worse vices than buying purses. Maybe if you look through all of them you can find enough money to get another one tomorrow too!!!

Had a good day today, woke up a bit late and with a headache, but the weather was warm and I got some fresh air. Was feeling a bit low for a while but I actually got up and did some exercise! I feel so proud of myself.

Well done!! Im super proud. I hope that doesnt sound condescending but I think that was a great effort on your part and at times people take me the wrong way, I do not intend it that way at all. I am a very genuine person.

Today has been full of anxiety and depression. Anxiety started from the waking hallucination, then continued when I was moved very quickly to another room and did not receive a key to lock up my belongs for a few hours so I was paranoid something would be stolen. Plus a bad experience on this particular ward in the past (just been moved off the acute ward). And the guy across the hall is very loud and abusive towards nurses. I think it wont be long til he's sent elsewhere, they cant handle him very well here, nor can they force anything on him.

My body aches all over. I feel exhausted. I tried to be mindful in craft group and succeeded quite well but now coming back to my room its hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel awful. I miss my horse and my life and just want to be well enough to function at home. Signed up for meditation tonight so I hope that helps. Right now Im trying distractions on the net to keep me going but I dont think it will be long before I reach for the nurse bell.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekends

I just got home from an Alice in Wonderland themed electroswing dance party. I was dressed as the Queen of Hearts. I was with a group of friends that I haven't seen in months. I've been avoiding social gatherings over the winter because of low mood and anxiety. Tonight I decided to go out, and I had a pretty good time. It wasn't amazing, but it was fun. I think I was the only sober person in the entire club, most people seemed high on E. I felt kind of left out because of that, but nothing I can do about that. I stayed for quite awhile, but left before my friends because I'd had enough. Now I'm home, and wide awake, and it's almost 3. I kind of think I should have stayed, but anxiety sent me home. Oh well, at least I went, so that's something.

I've been battling with this all day. Up and down so fast I can't keep track of it. It's like I'm mixed. Went for a run and did 300 squats to try and shake the anxiety off, exercise always helps if temporarily.

Since I've been on Lamictal and Zyprexa my depression doesn't come in as a total knockdown cry fest. It's more like I don't want to move, I don't want to get out of bed, and I'm only breathing because I have to, okay? And when I actually do something, I get really anxious. Joy.

I have GOT to find a way to get my head right! I've got SO MUCH that HAS TO GET DONE but my "want to" is broken! Some way , somehow I've got to tap into the hidden strength that lies dormant deep within!
