Doing ok. My older brother told me last night that he's known for a while that I'm bipolar and that the drs are playing catchup. I'm not sure how that makes me feel. Still trucking along hoping pdoc issue gets fixed soon.

Still feeling depressed, but particularly sad today. Saw my family yesterday for our (post-) holiday gathering. It was good to feel their love and warmth and now I just feel a void. I guess I will work on taking down the Christmas tree decorations, etc.

I am doing okay. However, I had to explain to my husband what the symptoms of my depression can be. I don't know if I got anywhere with him, but at least I tried.

I'm feeling better since the doctor raised the Latuda back to 40 mg. Quite a bit of difference in only a few days. Yeah.

Saw my new pdoc today. She upped my lamictal to 300mg and thought I should consider hospitalization. But not sure. In job transition so maybe it's a good time. I guess I should hsve asked how long it would be. What have others done?

Came home to mom as she was in a total depressed state. Had to tell her that I want in a place where I could talk to her as I had an emotional day myself. I feel bad, but it was a good step to say no.

I'm all ready to go to the hospital tomorrow morning for knee replacement surgery. Groceries are bought, apartment is clean, and laundry is done. I'm not looking forward to this surgery. I'll be glad when it's all over. I'll have 6 weeks of recuperation afterwards.

Anxiety is high today, but there is a definite reason for it, so its not come out of nowhere. Tomorrow may be a life changing day for me. I am hoping for the best outcome possible, reminding myself with "positive thinking" over and over.

Doing good right now but it's a busy day. My spouses bday. I just hope that I stay mellow and even tempered today and don't annoy her which is what has been happening. I'll be checking in later I'm sure.

Depression is not so severe today, and I wish I could bottle it! Could it be that the Prozac is finally kicking in? (Maybe I shouldn't have said that because I don't want to jinx it!)

Today is a good day. I am babysitting for my friend, so that's a nice distraction. The weather here in CA is nice so I plan on spending some time outside going for a walk to enjoy the unseasonably warm temps. That's sure to boost my mood too.

Having a much more restful day. My pdoc thinks that he should have gently introduced me to Gabapentin..so instead of 900mg to start, it's 300. Maybe I will be able to function tomorrow!
