Too much energy, can't stop moving, can't possibly exercise any more to get rid of it... I knew I shouldn't have gone to bed late last night this always happens on 3-4 hours sleep argh!

I've had two good days in a row. Friday was pretty good too. I managed to keep it together when I was made aware of an error I contributed too. I didn't make it the focus of my day by dwelling on what an idiot I was. Progress!

I did some research for my doc visit tomorrow and cleaned up around the house. I've been feeling alienated and being out amongst the normal has been difficult lately. Working has been torturous because I'm just not cognitively with it, and really just a shell of myself.

I'm trying to be gentle and be around people in small doses. Got some sun today and I know that helps. The anxiety and fear of not being able to make it is strong but not crippling today.

I've had a pretty good day - first time in while I've had that. Feel happy and almost normal. Found a great book to read and I'm devouring it. Have been able to hold off the anxiety of my upcoming SSDI exam.

Well yesterday was decent. Spent most of the day at my church's pinewood derby and both my kids placed. One first and one second. Then came home to make dinner and all of a sudden had the urge to go clean crazy on my kitchen pigsty. Not done yet but much better. I sat down to eat and lost my steam. Today took my kids to a bowling bday party for my friends kids. My daughter had a blast but my son gave me a migraine with his constant whining. I think it was too much for him. But otherwise nice day out. Dealing with a migraine now. Oh and I drove the E-way both ways without having an anxiety attack or shaking

Hi everyone...checking in day two. I've spent most of day in hyperfocused state. It really frustrates me when I'm unable to break away from research (or whatever else seems essential at the time) to take care of things I know need to be done today. Trying to prioritize kids laundry, haircuts, and showers over my obsession with finding resources to help my family's finances. Seems easy to focus on unrealistic plans instead of getting offline (yikes) to deal with practical actions. Take care, and thanks for listening.

Well, apparently if i accept help from someone that means they can treat me like crap and I can't say a damn word about it without being accused of being unappreciative. Remind me never to accept help from anyone ever again. I'd rather die than owe someone forever. There's only so much I can live with.

Today was pretty ok. Me and my girls had brunch, ate ice cream, created crafts, shopped and just hung out. Yesterday was a BIG challenge for me. I had a few "moments" throughout the day in stores toward sales clerks.

Well I am doing and feeling horrible. I haven't been on my lamicital for about 3 weeks now because of it being on back order from the manufacture. I have been taking a lot more xanax to keep from going completely bat **** crazy. Living here in my parents house is getting worse and worse. I already have my two special needs kiddos that have both recently had med changes and are going through a lot and acting out a lot and then I also have my mother that points out everything I do wrong along with everything I have ever done wrong and when I say something to her about it she gets angry and tells me its my bad decisions that have put me in this situation and if I don't like it I can get out which I can't do financially. I have been in recovery for almost 9 years and I want to use so bad at this point in time I can almost taste it.

I feel kind of sad tonight. I made a friend last fall who is very dear to me but I should have realized some time ago that he was having trouble continuing the friendship. He is a very complicated person and it isn't his fault. But my heart hurts and tears fall because I never stopped caring. It's ok. I'm glad I met him and I won't let this change the fact that I'm a loving, caring person. I've got so many bandaids on my heart, there's a reason I'm EMO. I still have hope.

I'm really going to have to fight myself today to keep from shooting off at the mouth. Filter is nonexistent today and I have 8 hours of work. Yay! Plus management has already pushed my buttons. How hard is it to wait to walk the store until someone else comes in that can open the door for other associates or 6am so the doors are unlocked? Grrrrrrrr.

Another terrible day. Made an official complaint this morning, I've never been one to complain but the care last night was appalling. Had a terrible night last night. I might make a vent about it at some stage, trying not to think about it right now. Went to relaxation and that helped, now watching a new ep of supernatural with some essential oils to try and keep my mood not hopelessly suicidal.

Hoping for good dreams tonight and no hallucinations on waking. I need some relief from this despair and hopelessness.

Still in bad depression after my week-long hospital stay. Med changes - - of course no quick results. This really sucks. I feel like I'm immobilized.

Alone and confused, we woke up to snow here and kids are home for yet another snow day. So far kids have missed 15 days of school because of the snow. My son is in pre k so if school opens late he doesn't go at all. In the month of February my son only went to school 5 times.

At work right now, and feeling kind of off. It's been really slow so far, and the day seems to be taking forever. My mood has been better in the last couple weeks, but today i feel like the smallest thing could make me cry. I don't know what's wrong. Can't wait until 5. I just want to go home and hide out, and not talk to anyone.

Well, now I wait before I can give the IRS and the state their pound of flesh...sigh

Didn't sleep well so I was tired and irritable most of the day. At least I had T today so I could vent. Making a simple dinner tonight and camping out on the couch.

Haven't woken up to snow but it's fricken cold. It's been getting up to a decent spring temperature and then plunging again.
