My day was decent. My older daughter came over after she was off work. We talked for a long time. Then we went to sleep around 10am. Got up and went swim suit shopping. Overall the day was relaxing. My daughter polished my toes for me. She really good at it. Me and both of my girls ate pizza for dinner.

Hey. Wow I feel like I can't keep up with reading ppls posts lately. But I just wanted to send out some hugs and positive thoughts to the universe and hope that it helps some for tbose of u who are having a shiity time right now.
Me I am doing okay- mood is staying out of the depression warning zone which is good. Still having a tough time getting myself to do household chores and sleep is a bit inconsistent but overall I feel pretty okay and hopeful and shiit. So that is good.

So I suppose I am committed to my road trip. I listened to my coworker and booked a hotel room online ahead of time instead of just showing up. And I even mapped out a route that hits some fun sights I want to explore on the way like a giant lobster statue! I'm staying at a place on the harbor, which should be cool. I think it's like an 8 hr drive up north. I'm excited, it should be fun, or at least different.

Of course I didn't think to check the weather first. But it looks just like here, with cool temps and rain probable Monday. Ah well, All will work out how it's meant to I suppose. I do like that with a road trip the only definite thing is the destination- everything else that happens on the way is pretty much up in the air. You can't really fuuck it up, even getting lost can end up working out. But I don't really think my married coworker friends can wrap their minds around going away anywhere solo, as they have built in travel partners. Anyhow have a great weekend everyone. Take care.

yesterday evening was really hot and sticky.

despite having the fan on, it was still really hot

today though it looks cloudy outside, and their's a chance it might rain (and it is cooler too, so that's good)

managed to eat a good breakfast and now just have music on.

I feel greatful to be home, because I can spend my weekend (which I forgot is a bank holiday) doing just what I want

(and thanks for leaving this thread at the top. yay!)

Even though it's only been 4 days, I currently find myself overwhelmed from life.

I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. Can you get back on it or something else with your pdoc' approval? Thinking of you

Successfully tapered my Seroquel dose from 400mg to 1/2 of a 25mg tablet. Didn't feel sick, so that's a win, right?

I'm going to stick to 1/2 a tablet for 5 days (including last night's dose), then move down to 1/4 of a tablet. Hopefully I don't throw up or get diarrhea again! I have SEVERE anxiety about throwing up.

Otherwise, doing ok. Feeling a bit sleepy... but hopefully things will be okay once Seroquel gets out of my system. :/

My GP and her colleagues hate Seroquel. They have an extreme hatred for it. They think no one should be prescribed it unless they really need it.

I'm glad you've been much more comfortable!
Good job with the tapering down of the Seroquel.

Yes, I have found most doctors, except for pdocs, dislike Seroquel and most AP meds. They seem to forget that some people benefit.

I hope you have a good weekend, blue!

Pdoc did not think I was hypo so I decreased the abilify from 20mg to 10mg and see no difference. Maybe I could go down to 5mg????
I am being very insightful and hyper vigilent about monitoring my mood.
I am stable.

I'm visiting my family in Cleveland this weekend. I'm a little nervous since my symptoms tend to worsen here. I am feeling somewhat down so far. Can't tell if I'm depressed or just lonely.

I got through graduation really well. I drove my mom so I will be going to my sister's graduation celebration. I compromised with her....we'll go but she can't be the last one to leave which she is prone to do. So far very content and calm. Hallelujah for small victories.

Hope everyone is doing well.

my pdoc is not a fan of zyprexa. massive weight gain, blood sugar problems, lots of cases of diabetes. so much so there was a huge lawsuit on them because they tried to hide the data and also went on a huge off label marketing campaign

I so wish this wasn't so. Zyprexa is the only medication I've ever taken that caused me to feel totally me and well.

So my husband u friended a really close friend of ours on Facebook last night over political differences and she text me this morning. I feel sad about this, she really is radical when it comes to politics and she private messaged home basically attacking him for having a different opinion. But she doesn't see it that way. Now she is blowing up my phone.

Miracle of miracles! 19 yo talking to 15 yo about school issues. So so so helpful!

LOTS of people here. Sitting in a corner, drinking a beer and posting. I'm much more interested in you guys.

I don't even know how I feel. I know I still have some anxiety, but I'm attributing it to my current circumstances. I have no motivation to really do much of anything. I had a small burst of energy the other night and did a few chores. But I still have a lot more to do and can't get myself to do it. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the med change or if this is just a natural progression of the depression. And since I haven't worked this past week I don't know what my concentration is like, but I'm going to assume it's not much better. I don't have anymore food left here, so I now have to get up and go grocery shopping.

I had enough dealing with this pinched nerve. My doctor yesterday told me it's normal to experience this, only 1 week after surgery, so I am just trying to have faith that hopefully this won't last. My mind always goes to worst-case-scenario, like, "Is this ever going to go away?" Therefore, my anxiety is a problem and feelings of depression. I am trying to stay occupied by watching shows and taking it easy. Hopefully that will help.

Have a good weekend everyone.

I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder area after surgery and I couldn't handle the pain. It lasted forever and the stupid doctor said it's just a pinched nerve!!! I hope yours calms down soon.

Thank you. Sorry you had to go through that. Is your pain completely gone now?
