Pouring and cold. I like rain- no pressure to go outside and "enjoy" the weather. Wish I could enjoy something.

Tea&Sympathy is doing great! Feel better than I have in years. It's due to several things-that I finally found a great writing buddy-inspiration from people here in our community and the way the VA is treating me.
Going to write for four or five hours today-have to cut 14 or 15K words from my current project and I am excited to work again. Have not been manic or depressed for awhile now-just living in that sweet spot in between! |

I feel exactly the same, charo. Warm weather creates pressure to be outside, when everyone looks forward to it and how much they will enjoy their outdoor activities. For me, it's particularly true since I live in the Midwest, and we had a horrible winter, with spring/summer warming up very slowly.

Hi guys - I've been gone for quite some time. Many reasons, but it's good to be able to report I'm now beginning to come out of a massive depressive episode. I'll tell you though, the Julie Schenecker Trial out of Tampa Bay sure hasn't been helpful in that regard. The jury finding did however begin the process of my realizing that what I did some almost twenty years ago now was indeed the right thing. Anything to avoid what that woman did - even if I had to endure all those horrible comments from people who just didn't understand the disease of being bipolar.
Anyway - included was a computer revamp, so thank heavens for signing up for the newsletter, huh? I'm glad I'm still alive to say hello. So --- HELLO ![]()

I have a new caretaker for my mother who is experienced in dementia. My mother is happy with her so far. So that is taken care of now. I have been checking in on my mother while she sleeps. I went though a couple day episode of depression. I am now recovered and feeling much better.

This is the second day in the row I have felt fine. My last record lately was for one week. Let's see if I can break this record. I have considered myself stable for much longer. But I did have a couple very temporary and nasty episodes of depression.

I'm doing ok. Saw my mother yesterday. That messed with my head. Otherwise 3days left of my 4day weekend. Have psychiatrist appt tomorrow. And hopefully Tuesday I just get to lounge around the house. Doubt it,but that's what I wanted to do yesterday. Depression is still here not as strong as previous days. Hiking today should be good for me.

I am so tired today and yesterday. For some reason this time the meds are making me so tired. So nothing really to say today because I haven't been awake to experience anything, lol.

Still in depression. Although today I did plant flowers, go for a short bike ride and out for ice cream with my husband and read a book in the sun on the patio. It's 3 o'clock -- 2 more hours until I retreat/hide in bed. It's been kind of a long, boring afternoon. Next week should be the same.

Feeling so alienated and just really sad. I feel like taking a double dose of my night time meds now (it's 2:30 pm) and just sleeping all day, even though it's beautiful and sunny out, but I won't. All week I wish it was the weekend, and then the weekend comes, and I realize how alone I am.

Really confused right now. I ended having to pull a double at work so I worked from 6pm on Saturday to 10am on Sunday. Which put me up for 24 hours. I had been depressed for the last few days, but then when I went to bed today it was 12 and I felt so alive, the only reason I went to bed was because I have to be back at work in a little while. Right now I am feeling pretty good, got up at 5. Hopefully I can stay at this point.

Still depressed but not overwhelmingly. Have Pdoc appt tomorrow. Which I feel is kinda pointless because I'm only on 50 mg of lamictal and start 100mg tomorrow night. I don't feel that great. Even though my wife has been fantastic today. Yesterday is still bothering me. Saw my mother which wasn't good necessarily. But oh well I'll deal.

Browsed through the jobs posted over on the Employment Division's website, in my pajamas, with a hot cuppa joe right next to me. What a way to conduct a job search---isn't the 21st century AWESOME??

Had breakfast with the family and then went to see a great movie with my brothers; the morning/early afternoon went well.
At about 6:00, the guy I'm "seeing" currently texted me to tell me he's got some upper respiratory thing, and he cancelled our date... that definitely soured the night, mostly because I've been craving his attention and intimacy since we were last together a little over a week ago. Trying to talk some of this stuff out to calm my nerves a little. |
