Even though I wrote in the above post that Seroquel knocks me out, I for some reason am having trouble lately sleeping. This happens every so often, like two months since August. It goes on for a few weeks. I don't get it, I am heavily medicated. I even upped my Seroquel to 400 mg and take a bunch of Benadryl. I see my pdoc next Friday. I've notice this as a cycle. Sleep has always been a problem and I freak out if I don't sleep because I'm afraid I will cycle. I hope my pdoc doesn't freak out on me for taking 400 mg. I do it for a couple of days and then go back to 300 and if I still can't sleep go back to 400. Why can't I just fricken sleep?

My pdoc made me chose which drug to drop, ambien or klonopin, I been on both too long and if I must continue on one he would like to drop the other. I chose to stay on the klonopin because it is the only thing that helps my anxiety and if I take a dose before bedtime with seroquel I can get to sleep. I still have 3 more refills of the ambien and will fill them and save them as needed for emergencies.

I should be happy right now, but of course, things didn't go as planned so I'm mostly just feeling numb and dazed.

I'm floating around not sure what to do or where to go. And I lost my oar so I couldn't choose a direction anyway. Blah...

Yesterday the newspaper article came out that I said way too much in. I was up and had many important things to say which I'm finding out now were not so important after all. I had a break down over the whole situation, but realistically... It's free advertising. I need to just stay positive. Easier said than done.

Hi Everyone! Haven't posted since July- it feels good to be back and to see some familiar names. I have to remember there are always people I can talk to and who know what I am going through. I hope you are all surviving the holidays so far- it's a tough time for me. Or maybe the let down after is tougher. Won't talk about how I feel- too confused about it right now.

Depressed, anxious, feeling sick. I really wish I could take some time off, but it's not an option. Just got to keep going... At least my cat is alive and feeling better. She was even playing a bit this morning, and when i got home tonight she came to the door to greet me.

Yesterday I was dancing around my flat, so filled with joy and energy. By the evening my thoughts were racing into dark directions and I was irritable as hell. Mixed state, damn. Around 1am I took a high (safe) dose of CLonazepam and Zyprexa to knock me out, and it did wonderfully. Today I was hungover but much calmer. Hopefully I have nipped the mixed episode in the bud. With Christmas coming up and increased work hours I cannot afford to go into a mixed state proper. Gosh, when is a good time for one Lol!

1:26am, up and in physical pain. I seem to live in constant physical pain anymore. My entire body. No real cause. I think it is all in my mind.
I finally filed for bankruptcy today. Felt shame and guilt. But it is done and will soon be over. Maybe I can pull my life together, some. As much as I want to sleep, I enjoy being up, alone, at night. Just me and my thoughts.

Today I am struggling with rage.
Out and out rage. I cannot even be in the same room as bf, or I will lose my temper (cruel words, nothing violent)

Mostly okay today, feeling sleepy in the morning even with lots of sleep the night before. We got our Christmas tree today and had friends over to trim it.
That was nice.

I'm in an inter-faith marriage, so yesterday we got ready for Hanukkah and Christmas, both.
It was fun.Still not sleeping, but starting to think that this isn't pathological, but hereditary. My dad slept very little, and so does my uncle. They just operate on less sleep than the rest of the world. They never saw it as a problem. I woke up to snow this morning. Sipping hot apple cider. Life feels pretty good.
