I've decided that I am in the pit of bipolar depression. Anxiety, tears, agoraphobia, and back again. All I can do is sit on the bed. Not much else. I feel like I'm bad. A bad person. I keep saying in my head "I hate myself."

Do one (important) thing (or more if you can). Do another tomorrow. Two the next day. As long as there is some upward trend. Just to not lose all hope.

I'm at three things. Hope I make it. Shall we start a competition? Did more but less important, mostly distraction.

Got some Spring cleaning done, throwing out stale boxes of crackers and other stuff from my kitchen cupboards. My kitchen feels more manageable.

Feeling really good, recently changed psychiatrists after 16 years with the old one. It seemed like she just didn't "see" me anymore and she missed some stuff she shouldn't have. My new doc is very careful to listen and explain everything, and he doesn't seem to mind my interrupting him a lot, sort of verbal diarrhea! So happy with the decision to go with someone new. I was worried it wouldn't work out, but it's really great.
Thanks for this!

Feeling alone tonight. Husband seemed to be trying his very hardest to start a fight today. Thank Goddess for working meds today. Was able to keep my cool.
Still wishing I felt someone actually wanted to talk with me and just hang out. I don't know if this is just adulthood or bipolar or something else. My first T appointment is Wednesday. I'm scared shitless. What all can he share?

Dropped a 250-pound ceramic kiln on myself and almost broke my own hip. Long story.

Now every morning I have a chance to go from depression to a feeling of determination and direction. I must be blessed.

Optimism.

Ease it, transcend it.

Depression can't be useless, wasteful. I won't believe that.

This weekend has been exhausting! My sleep was thrown off for having to wake up earlier than I would've liked to on Saturday, took a nap longer than planned and then drive about 45 minutes to go hang out with my nephew. Left late and was exhausted again this morning. But I had to get up since I pretty much don't have any food in my house. I'm sore. Tonight I will be in bed earlier than usual.
Thanks for this!

Pretty worthless day so far but it's Sunday so it's not a big deal. I did honestly try and do laundry. We have laundry one each floor. I hustled my laundry to three floors before i gave up as they were all busy. Doing laundry on a Sunday is a bad idea, i guess. Tomorrow. It's rainy and chilly so i didn't have high hopes for the day anyways.

I am angry, at the world, and people. People who treat our Earth Mother with such
disrespect. People throwing garbage out of their car window, people who don't cherish her like we should.
I am so angry I could hurt someone, but I know I won't.
Mankind, at times, disgusts me

well survived another week (yeehaw!), and now just another one to go.. (boo!)

but my weekend..

not the greatest weekend- on saturday i triggered myself (which i didn't mean to really do,) but you just do it without meaning to... you think you know what all your triggers are, but then something else pops up you wern't really aware of

set the mood for the weekend really, but my positive thing is that i actually cooked myself dinner on both nights (pie on saturday, and roast on sunday)

just doing the best i can.. big issue for me at the moment is rest

not happening
