Somehow much more calmer tonight Feel like I can think again as a person.

I am OK. I have been dealing with depression for over a month. I am beginning to feel better. I hope this portents my recovery. We shall see.

all…..

Doing…. mostly ok. Some wobbles. The main culprit (read: most readily identifiable, haha) is a situational thing. Sometimes this thing just really gets to me, you know?
Got a little sloppy with med-taking last week (disrupted quasi-routine = forgotten pm doses), but back on track now.

Will scarcely be on PC for awhile. Computer problems. Don't like that.

Gotta go. Supposed to be doing something else.

Slept last night. Feel a little calmer and relaxed then I have in a few weeks.

This was a very difficult day with severe depression and bad feelings inside.

[Concrete Heart]

Some days, I feel like I have a purpose. Other days, I feel out of touch in this world. I sometimes feel like a hollow shell of my former self, like a body without a soul.

Not only do I have Bipolar Disorder, but there is a strong possibility that I might have ADHD. I will need to do a diagnostics first, but I'm most certain I have it. Needless to say, I absolutely despise myself for my faults.

Concrete Heart Not faults. Easier said than done, but try to be kind to yourself (I've got a veritable laundry list, so I know how hard that is.…Still, do try, ok?) (Btw, I have both.)

Woke up this morning in…. well, not a good place. Really ruminating.
Only lightly connected, but I intend to do a little digging into something (financial) today, but apprehensive of the anticipated answers. Then there's the question of what to do once I know how bad it is.
Really really going to try to keep up a good and light atmosphere today, regardless. (Externally, anyway.)

Working today. Maybe, maybe less depressed after last med change. Jury's still out. So irritated today. Coworker showed up 3+ hours late.

Need to calm down. Slow down. Keep reminding myself how angry I am. Not cool.

I am doing well today.
But, I really need a shower
Have not had one in almost a week

[Tucson]

It looks like my indoor cat slipped outside and I cannot find her anywhere. This is terrible for me. Maybe she will find her way back to my home? This happened on a bad day for me. I hope I can hold myself together until my cat returns.

Oh no! I hope your kitty makes it home quickly and safely.

Today i was very lazy, and barely got out of bed. It's 7 now, and there's a party i should go to tonight, but i don't feel much like being social. I'll hang out for a bit, and then maybe get showered and dressed and over there. That really sounds like a lot of effort.

My cat found new hiding places. It did not go out the open patio door which was accidentally left open. Wew!

I survived my birthday, to be another day older. Feel pretty good today after the pressure of yesterday. Got a lead on a pdoc in my small, rural town. Very excited about that. Will follow up this week. I think my meds are out of whack, which is causing me to be out of whack. I take a lot of meds to be feeling as crappy depressed as I do, and still be so agitated. I need to find a good book on bipolar. This diagnosis is so new to me, and I want to learn more things that I can do for myself, to help myself get better.

[Pikku Myy]

Feeling better here as well Thank goodness!

[tipper1492]

I need to change me negative thinking all the time. My mouth should stay closed more without dirty words.

I have this dread of seeing my former partner around town. Today i comforted myself by telling myself he is a reasonable person and would probably be pleasant. I felt a lot less worried.

[tigersassy]

Doing good. Not sure how long this will last. I hope it lasts. Can't wait for vacation. 5 days till it starts.

[Tucson]

I stayed up until I felt tired which was a 3:30 AM. I am now up at 7 AM and a bit groggy. But I am still OK. I woke up without an alarm clock. Now what does the day have in store for me?

[bipolar angel]

I'm feeling mixed. Was very fatigued thurs/fri and mood was fair. Over weekend, was depressed, awful time sleeping. Up til 1am, then sleep til 6then have to nap in am/pm...despite taking my antidepress, mood stabilizer, melatonin....ugh.then last pm felt more alert, wanted clean house all weekend-started 5pm last night. Mood better today, mixed..but at least don't feel like every little thing is disaster. Going call pdoc...never really felt like I was cycling before.I had 1major depression-16yrs ago, then hypomania/mixed depression for like 1yr. Then was soo stable on meds, felt normal"for so long, these moods are scaring me that I'm going to crash. But I see psyc doc every month, call in between, in therapy every week. Anyone else ever stay stable for yrs and yrs and then major event spirals you down quick??? Dusting off tool box of self help-and thanks to all of you, this website is a savior!!!
I was so focusd on my daughter with recent events that I was not doing enough self help stuff for me...moving forward

[Standup2me]

today, I stopped to smell the roses
literally
I pruned my rose bushes
Today, I can accomplish anything

[Hopeful Camel]

Exhausted from work. Low level unhappiness with my life. Just tired.

[LilacLime]

I'm very stressed about my exam and my therapy session tomorrow. I'm also thinking about asking my T if I can record our sessions, but I'm really afraid to ask. I just think it would be really beneficial but I don't want to seem needy or clingy or dependent.

Mood wise I'm just a depressed + anxious mess. I need to study and I need to sleep. Ugh.

[Curiosity77]

I'm very tired today, and feeling a little foggy. I think it's from taking a saphris Sun morning because I'm not used to them anymore. Crazy that I was taking such a strong drug every day! I went for dinner with my Burning Man friends, it was really nice.
