I am getting bit by bed bugs. I had an exterminator in yesterday. Apparently this did not work. Otherwise, I feel OK but tired and frustrated.

Trying to run a bit of interference between BF and his dad. Things have been rather… tense. (Wonder if the deviation from my normal behavior of barely talking has been noticed. Lol.) I'm "on break" atm. We're putting a funny movie on shortly. Here's hoping it will have a mellowing effect. Myself, doing alright. Too busy keeping an eye on dynamics… (It's not horrid, just tense and snarky. Very different personalities.)

Saw pdoc today. Lithium at therapeutic level, finally. Still anxious, still down. High level unhappiness with my life. Maybe I am just one big character flaw. I wish I wasn't so sad.

As usual, doing mostly well. Was crabby today and anxious as I am going to apply for a new position at work. I am looking forward to the challenge but am also freaking out a bit. Deep, slow breaths.

Down. Still. Tried to be happy, but it's so hard and tiring. I try and I try but it isn't helping. Can I just sleep forever? Wednesday. Just have to hang on till Wednesday. Pdoc appt but I'm not wanting to go. I'm broken there is no fixing it. My brain is broken... they don't know how to fix it and I don't think they ever will. Back to work tomorrow. And another day of falling being happy because no one can know I'm broken. I don't even like my wife knowing that I'm broken. It's time for bed. What if I don't wake up? Would anyone miss me? Time ticks and nothing happens. I'm just empty nothing lifts the depression. I can fake like a pro for a time then it shows for a little while in that time my wife makes a comment and back to the faking. I hate this crap. Fml. What did I do to deserve this? Grrrr....

Home. TG.

The uncomfortable weekend came to a head this morning. Having seen it coming, I'd quietly packed up our stuff to be ready to leave. Was nervous, uncomfortable, and frankly, hiding(!) Running interference is one thing, but confrontation in this situation? No. That was BF's to deal with. Being expected to help someone with a fairly senseless project who is difficult to work with, stubborn, unwilling to hear input, upset with us (right down to the weather) and being passive aggressive to beat the band is frankly, not appealing. Hell, not acceptable.

So we left.

It wasn't fun, but there's no effect mood-wise. It's not mine to own. Despite minor whining over having sore muscles and being tired, it's good to be home.

P.S. "Sweet Cheezits" Love it!

Today was great, my husband and I went downtown to the Italian festival and had some super awesome garlic bread and spaghetti with meatballs. Listened to live music and shopped the street vendors and farmers market. Pretty cool! Now I'm going home to make my Halloween costume, I am going to be a candy corn fairy and tomorrow my staff and I are going to the pumpkin patch to buy kids pumpkins and play around in the corn mazes. I'm excited

Well it seems all the medication in the world that I have tried over the last 18 months has not been able to prevent the inevitable....our fall into financial ruin. We are now in the process of selling all our assets in an attempt to be able to keep a roof over our heads.

I wish I could have found the right medication in time. I wish there was some cure for this terrible and crippling affliction, one that not only affects the sufferer, but any family and friends associated with them. I wish I could have prevented this from happening. I want to wake up and all of this is just a bad dream.

But I am awake.

This is real.

And I am seriously up the creek without a paddle. Is this what leads people to do the inevitable? Does anyone with Bipolar actually live out their life and find contentment, or are we all doomed to self destruct and top ourselves before our time?

I know how I feel at the moment. Scared. Alone. And without any answers or hope for the future.

3:45 am, new meds not helping me to sleep through the night. I wish pdoc would stop trying to change my meds and realize my cocktail keeps me asleep.

Angst over money, jobs, lack of income, yadda yadda. I am still looking for that happy medium. For a life that isn't seriously messed up.

Hugs to everyone.

Went for a walk around a lake today
It was so nice to be out of the stench of the city

I survived today, I did what I had to do, and I managed to end the day less stressed than when it started.

Extremely agitated this morning. I'd like to say I didn't flip my s***, but I kind of did.
Later in day started ruminating (yet again) on a sad realization (something that makes me very sad that's been going on awhile… well, realized just how long now. Sigh.)
I've got a disability psych evaluation coming up on Thursday. Kind of nervous about it, now that it's getting close.
Did manage to get out to the grocery store for a few things.
Can't describe how it's going, though it is safe to say that it could be going better.
