Depression persists (not that I'm surprised) but am glad that I at least have my husband to do some things with today (he's on staycation).

Not doing so well today. Had a mini-breakdown last night and went into a crying fit out of nowhere.

So far okay. Would be nice to go for a walk today but for pervasive roar of lawn mowers.

I've been there. I had a crummy therapist and my ex used my illness against me. I have a good therapist now.

Lawn mowers are white noise to me. They can actually be a relaxing reminder that spring is here and it's beautiful outside.
I'm ready for summer!!!!

For the past couple of days I was very depressed. But today this has lifted and I now feel much better. Boy, I think I let the morass in my life get the best of me. I wonder if DBT would help me?

I had a really good session with my therapist today. Instead of leaving tired and drained, I left happy and content. I felt like I got a lot out of todays session. Its a completely different approach to what my other therapist does, it is refreshing and very helpful. I am glad I pushed my pdoc for it.

Doing better today. I'm trying to figure out how the Latuda is doing and when to take it before bed. Mentally preparing myself for work. One of those days where I have to fight myself to get to work and survive. Things could always be worse I tell myself everyday.

Lithium dosage was decreased 25% two weeks ago. Eager to be done with it.
Cymbalta x 2 weeks has yet any real effect. So debilitated by this depression.

Back pain is finally getting a little easier. Starting to want to get back in the swing of things and get some stuff done.

Was feeling really angry at this depressive phase this morning. Now, after talking to my T, am not so angry. He reiterated that I have a biochemical problem, I'm doing everything I can about it, and it's just not my fault. The not being my fault thing is huge for me.

Crazy night last night, taking risks and making bad choices. So I didn't get much sleep last night, and i was tired at work today. But being at work helped me focus on being useful and productive. I'm home now, and i'm wondering what was going on with me last night. I'm going to stay home tonight, and out of trouble.
