You may (or may not) have noticed that I've been lurking for the week, with my "thanks" and "hugs" just because I can't completely leave a place that has been my "go to" for so long. Please stop with the angry rants, please. Who cares how people treat themselves, just support each other. I'm over it.
As far as I go, the 50mg increase in the Lamictal has been working for me so far. It started off a little rocky, but I've been more focused at work and am able to keep up with it all. I even stayed late a few days this week to finish the goals I set for myself. I haven't done that in months! I finally washed dishes for the first time in three weeks last night (I know, disgusting), and actually cooked a meal on Tuesday (first time since early February). So I guess I'm on the right track, but I don't want to jump for joy just yet. Just take it one day at a time. I've have done enough swinging... I also want to thank pirilin for the messages. I really do look forward to them.

Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you!
Though I'm unfamiliar with you, I can tell that this place means a lot to you. I just hope that the gossip, drama, rants or anything else you had to endure here isn't discouraging you in some way. You're definitely right, though. Everyone shouldn't be negative with each other. We should all be trying to support each other and rely on one another. It's unfortunate that some people get carried away in their lives that they end up projecting onto others and spreading more negativity. I'm glad you're doing well with your issues and struggles, though. I wish you the best of luck! You seem like a very nice person, and whatever these people are doing, bringing you down--I know you can work through it. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day! |

And I'm not saying I'm perfect. Not everything I have posted has been roses and daisies I'm sure. But I don't intend to be mean spirited and I apologize if I have.
Love you all! Remember, we are family! Who else is going to understand these wonderful mood swings we call life?

I'm glad you are feeling better. It's amazing what a slight change can sometimes. I've been lurking myself for a couple of weeks, so I understand. It is comforting to be around some people who live with the illness and hadn't just studied about it in a book. Someone usually has an encouraging word when I'm not having a good day. Keep pressing forward!
I'm always appreciative when someone titles their thread using the word "rant" or they apply an appropriate icon so that I can decide whether or not to read it, depending on my mood. We are family, and you know what they say about family -- everyone has that family member that you makes you wonder what is going to be said or done at the family dinner that will be less desirable. We love them anyway :-)

Ahh yes I fell back to earth and didn't have much to say either. It's funny when I'm "up" EVERYTHING sounds like such a great idea at the time! Lol. But yea I trying to at least glance around and chime in when needed.
I'm glad you're feeling better! I actually just got the biggest molar in my mouth pulled yesterday so I'm in bed with a bottle of norco lol! I'm doing alright though. At least I've been getting out of my bedroom! My bf is happy about that lol. Putting all my faith in my meds rights now. It's all I have keeping me grounded right now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

gina_re, good to hear things are looking up!
 About the ranting: we may think we know what is and isn't, should be and shouldn't, but we also know more than anyone that we don't, always if not ever. "We're all mad here! If your weren't you wouldn't be here." (just wanted to throw in another appropriate Wonderland line, probably paraphrasing, since UpDownMiddleGround has such a nice signature).

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
