I spent 6 1/2 years on meds and they didn't work tried many different ones or combos with little to no success. No haven't seen a pdoc in the 8 months I've been off. Still see a T but that is few and far between. Next appointment with T is early May. I would have to find a new one if I ever decided to go the med route, I tapered off my last med against her advice, so I highly doubt she would take me as a client again. That's beside the point, I'm not ready for that again. Guess I'll email T and see what she thinks. Thanks.

Finished signing up for school. It was expensive. I may not go this route because I can't afford it.

Didn't do much today because my back hurts. It's been hurting since last night. If it keeps hurting I'll go to the ER but all they'll give me is muscle relaxers.

Been wound up today, even with a nap. Just trying to calm down again.

Didn't do too much today. It's my last day of vacation. Back to work tomorrow. Probably a good thing. Takes my mind off the depression. Had wanted to do a bunch of cleaning today but just couldn't get up the energy. Trying not to beat myself up over it. I feel like I'm teetering on the edge now where I could either get better or get much much worse. Probably worse if I can't start caring and doing things to help myself. It's so hard not having anyone around to point out when I start making terrible decisions.

15 more minutes at work, it's been a struggle this afternoon. I have plenty to do but concentration is shot for the day. I did get stuff done though, seems like I've been off forever and having a hard time getting back into the groove. Oh well hopefully each day will get a little better. Honestly I struggle with concentration quite a bit though, don't know if it's the meds or what....frustrating

My Seroquel and Klonopin didn't kick in for hours yesterday. I was up until 5 AM, not feeling I was tired at all. Hopefully tonight will be more "normal." After all, I have work at 10 AM tomorrow (and an hour commute getting there).

night shift still messing with me
not getting good sleep
racy thoughts and feeling creepy crawly all over my body
trying to use mindfulness and all that jazz

I'm nervous for my endocrinologist appt. today. I'm always nervous to go to medical doctors. I never know how they're going to react to my diagnosis and meds. And I'm afraid the endo is going to say I just need to stop taking the invega and won't understand how important it is for me to NOT.

Had to run to the bank before work this morning and still made it on time. Had a bit of a struggle getting out of bed but fine now that I'm going. Hope for a productive day today.

I am doing ok. I was in a back bedroom yesterday when everyone thought I was in my room. The phone rang and the answering machine kicked in. I heard my mom and her fiancé talking and joking about me. The sad thing is I wasn't entirely surprised. I live with my mom for financial reasons so I can't move out right now but this has fundamentally changed my relationship with my mom.

Went walking yesterday... which is a good thing, nice sun, etc.

Listened to music while walking. I like Nightwish.. (symphonic metal) Perhaps unwise with the abilify activating me against minimum effective dose of the stabilizer; and still two weeks till tweak.

Edema Ruh is one of those driving, energetic songs... and the world went golden, the barriers to exultation fell, and I didn't exactly resist, I pumped that adrenal and pituitary for all they were worth. Then I realized what I was doing and went home and sat quietly for a while. *DANG*

lol.

When I lived with my mom, I overheard my mom and her husband and my brother-in-law (visiting from out-of-town) talking trash about me. Just nasty things about why don't I move out, and how horrible I was for x, y and z, and why didn't I get a job, etc, etc. It totally triggered me. I went upstairs and called PES (Psych Emergency Services) and talked to a nurse. I felt trapped and unloved.

Pulled a muscle in my back feeding my cat. Sure makes me feel old and weak. It would be different if my cat was a tiger and I had to lift a 100lb carcass into cage while holding a whip and a chair....but bending over to pick up a tiny dish, shesssss, how embarrassing. I can hardly move my left leg without pain.

ECT went well yesterday except that my mother-in-law, who was going to pick me up to drive me home, wasn't answering her phone and the mailbox was full... and it was a busy day in recovery. They really needed to release me, but couldn't until they had someone to whom they could discharge me. I sat in the recovery room a very long time.

Did okay until noon, when anxiety struck again. Laid down for a couple of hours, took my afternoon meds, and eventually chilled out.

My mood is kind of crappy. How am I going to focus and work on school if I keep getting spun up? I don't know if it's being in the house or what.

Today, I took my son to school because he missed the bus then missed my friend at starbucks. I went there anyway then off to the gym and when my mom's husband said something to me when I was on the treadmill (It was still going), I stopped walking and slid off the back of the treadmill and JUMPED off the end so as not to fall off! After the gym, I went home and napped for an hour. Then I met my friend (above) and had iced tea. Now I'm home with the kids.

Today was a little overwhelming with it being my first day back to work from vacation. All week will probably be like that. Had a hard time focusing and getting back into the swing of things. Still depressed, but at least it gives me something else to focus on.

Can't for the life of me figure out how on earth this episode feels simultaneously terrible but also not that bad. Idk? I don't understand. I think it's because I feel more apathetic and not caring. Not as much guilt, shame, worthlessness this time. It's a different kind of suck. More of a nothingness mixed with emotional restlessness.

I go to the pdoc tomorrow and I'm not sure how he's going to respond since I haven't been taking my meds. I really don't believe there is any hope for me. My insurance will be cut off next month anyway.
