My husband left to get me stuff to make tacos. I promised not to stress until at least 10 but they just left and I'm stressed. I don't know whats worse worrying at home or going and deal with it.

Serious episodes of depression. I do not know why. Perhaps waiting for disaster around each corner? My mother has not been a big problem for about a week. The biggest problem is keeping her up until 10 PM so she can sleep through the night, which is good for me. I am augmenting my cocktail with Tumeric and Licorice Root. I hope this combination works for me.

the next person to mention, "thanksgiving", turkey, anything related to that holiday they are going to be on my plate for supper

fed up with it, and not just because i'm in the UK and don't celebrate it

just pointless. the whole dam thing is pointless

Turkey isn't pointless. When it's brined and roasted to a perfect golden brown, with mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, pie, and all the other trimmings, it's awesome! Happy Thanksgiving!

Not trying to be mean. When what's on the internet irritates me, I get off the internet. Not go around telling people to "shut up."

I am very disappointed someone serving as a "community liason" is posting so rudely.

We all have our issues to handle. I, personally see no reason for addressing other members in such a rude fashion.

Maybe take a break, "Shattered Sanity?"

You sound maybe "overloaded?"

Cooking with my sister and Mom. Have my son with me. All is well!

[Moose72]

I'm waiting for dinner to be done. Still feeling kind of off - maybe meds or lack thereof or late or who knows.

[Unrigged64072835]

Will be starting to cook here soon. Since it's my husband and I we're making a small meal. Otherwise waiting for tomorrow so I can start decorating.

Wow, indeed! Such delicious bread (have a loaf here at this very minute too!). As toast, with butter?... Best.toast.ever.

Checking in. Well, evening before last, had a big breakdown/flipout (take unrelenting pressure cooker, add discovery of another financial screw over, and...) I just unravelled. Don't remember it entirely, but apparently I flailed on something pretty hard with my hand. Back of my hand swelled up a lot. Today it's down some, but the color's started up. Going to be looking pretty heinous. And right there in plain view. Dammit.

Today will be totally kicking back. Realized it is a day that is suspended from responsibility from "doing something" in a heavy stress calendar countdown. And I'm hunkering down hard in any respite I can find from it...

[Wild Coyote]

It's been a good day!

Had 4 generations attending dinner -- ages 94 - 19 y.o.
I did a small amount of cooking -- and a lot of clean-up this year.
The main cook(s) never has to do any clean-up. That's the deal!

The best part was being together -- and watching my 94 y.o. grandmother devour a huge piece of her favorite pie, as her eyes lit up!

Also did my 2 mile walk after dinner.

Saw my pdoc yesterday. He isn't close to discharging me and I've been in here two weeks. To discuss my risk me touched on my trauma and I had a meltdown. Talks with nurses and meds calmed me down and I slept well. Feelin ok so far today 8.50am. Still a bit jittery though. Seeing my Mum and 27 month old nephew today, can't wait.

Saw my 'guy' at dinner and breakfast. He has been divorced and said it was due to her not being able to handle his PTSD. MKes me wonder and be more careful. Still worth exploring though. Nice to have company.

[Nammu]

Was off to my daughters for the turkey day. Our get together had ages from 4 to 88. The turkey was a joint effort by my daughter and son in law....it was perfect....and theit first turkey! Nice and juicy.

Me though, I couldn't wait to leave. Being with people is exhausting.

[gina_re]

I swear the pdoc in IP screwed up my drugs. Which is good and bad. Good because this should extend my disability and I shouldn't have to go back to work right away. Bad because I have been on a rollercoaster of feelings/emotions and I sleep a lot during the day and I am up all night. My mom has now been very understanding recently. We were talking earlier and she has a coworker with bipolar disorder, who has apparently helped her to understand why I am the way I am. This has drastically changed how she approaches me and I feel more comfortable telling her when I'm unsafe. But I still feel very unstable in general. Thursday can't get here soon enough!

[Smileonmyface]

doing ok. grateful the holiday is over hoping to go out for some milk and stuff and not have it be too crazy. hoping i can stay on track this time.

[bizi]

Went out of town for a new client. lovely family.
had a nice lunch with hubby and a friend.
now will see another client of mine later today.
I hope to see him early...was supposed to be at 4 but I am bored and want to see him sooner to get him out of the way, and be done with my work day. I work tomorrow as well.

Kept busy today so the anxiety over this time of year doesn't overwhelm me. Put up decorations outside; will do the tree tomorrow. Dis some chores around the kitchen. I'm waiting until Thursday; hopefully all the money will be in and I'll be buying presents.

[OctobersBlackRose]

I'm back after a few days off, a lot of anxiety today. Had a good Thanksgiving, went out to dinner, had fun, watched some football. Now.just laying down with my cat laying on my arm, making it hard to type.

[pirilin]

I have a few things to disclose and not all are good.
It seems I'm sliding into dep....... don't want to type it.
I'm procratinating in everything. In fact, I'm gonna procrastinate
this thread for tomorrow. No deadline, right?. Bye.

[Wander]

My pdoc still won't let me out on unescorted leave due to safety. So today my parents are taking me to the beach for a swim. Looking forwards to it. PTSD triggered last night. Was awful. Feel ok this morning. Mood still swinging. Hate this illness. Just want to be stable. Wish me luch that I have a good day for a change. No swings and just peace.

[Faltering]

I'm thinking about my intake appointment on Wednesday. I want to be truthful about my symptoms, but last time I was completely honest I was hospitalized against my will. I can't let that happen again.

[Moose72]

I'm home doing laundry and surfing the web. Nothing to blog so it's my online tonight I guess. Meds all taken. It's almost 9. Could go to bed .
