As you know, I've been struggling.
I am feeling a little better today.
I am getting more Wellbutrin into me. (I know some here have had difficulties with hellbutrin; it generally helps me.)

This depression has been severe. Mornings have been the worst.
I'd had an idea last week and my pdoc approved it.
I set an alarm for 3 or 4 a.m. and take my first dose of Wellbutrin then.
By 7 0r 8 a.m., I awaken feeling less groggy, etc.
So far, so good. I keep trying.

Love and Healing to All!

That is a good idea with the Wellbutrin. I too plan to start taking it soon. It's really helped me in the past and I'm hovering in the low mood territory lately so it might be time to tell my doctor I'm ready. Good luck to you WC.

I haven't been feeling well, and now I've just been told by my boss that they're cutting my hours to only 12 per week. Why's it got to add up like this?

Took a shower today. So better. Glad finally done with stressful job. Hope this means I'll level out. Trying to stay positive. Ready for depression to be over I have weight I need to lose. Easier to diet when I'm happy. Hope everyone is holding up

I had a rough start to the morning, I had trouble sleeping and then woke up too early and received a disturbing e-mail. I was dumped! (By a guy)

It upset me so much I almost didn't go to my job interview this morning, but I called a friend and he talked me through everything. Well I ended up going to the interview and landed the job! Go me!

So as you can see up and down day today. On a good note, I am on my way to improving my sleep schedule. I see a lot of positivity for that.

Also a special shout out to WC, I hope you feel better soon!

I didn't sleep well so I've been out of it all day. Finished editing my photos from last week and uploaded them to my Flickr site. Wrote a poem outside of class. Reading quite a bit. Ruminating on a prompt for my church's magazine due next month.

Sill anxious. Because I slept in I missed my morning meds. Hopefully this will wind down soon.

I took N2 to the eye dr today. I know- you think I love eye drs- but this is for driver's ed. She passed 100%- 20/20 vision, healthy eyes inside and everything. Earlier, I did get my new glasses shaped/bent so they don't fall off my face anymore.

I'm really sorry you continue to battle this. I hope that early dosage of Wellbutrin does the trick. Thinking of you.

tomorrow is June 1st. Half of 2017 is over already
what am I doing? why am I here? Time keeps rolling on and I'm not sure I have figured out who I am yet.
So is life my friends


Hugs to those who are in depression. She is a ***** to be reckoned with!

I saw my pdoc today. He took me off Abilify (I was sleeping 2-3 hours a night). He said aside from the bipolar depression, I'm having 'situational' depressions that are pushing me to the edge. Uuuhhh okay. Today I just feel traumatized from coming so close and am having panic attacks.

I will be ok. I'll head off to Florida and relax. I really, really appreciate everyone's well wishes. That meant so much to me.

Yes, Jacky, tomorrow is June 1st. I thought that meant the rent (and all the other bills) are due. Silly me! Half the year is over already! This weekend is the annual neighborhood garage sale at my mom's neighborhood. Its such nice weather and people sell brats and hotdogs from their driveways and there are blocks and blocks and blocks of garage sales! I'm going to bring $50 in small bills and N3 with me. Back to what you were saying, I don't know who I am yet either. When I'm manic, I think I've "figured out the thread that ties my life together". Yeah. Next time I'm manic, I'll try to write that one down!

Aren't situation depressions just awful? Its like "I guess the meds aren't gonna help this time". I'm sorry you're having panic attacks. Those are no fun at all. Do you have any meds for that? (I never do. One thing I don't like about my pdoc.) Florida sounds great.

I agree they're awful. I have medication for panic attacks but have taken up to the limit. Yeah can't wait to get there.

They always tell me to do some DBT in times like these, but its been a while. The only technique I remember is to watch a train go by where your bad thoughts are the train.

Fourty didn't do anything for me, but 45 seems to have. Blame my teacher who taught me to round up. Now I think I'm in my 50's! That makes me think of menopause. That makes me think of my own kids having kids. Aaaaah!

Still trying to adjust to my summer routine. So far it's stressful. I've been feeling less depressed last couple days, but I'm hesitant to say yet if I'm on the mend. Unsure of what I want to do at next pdoc visit. Increased dose of Trileptal seems to still be messing with me at 1200mg. About an hour after I take it, I get a headache and nausea and feel a little spaced out. Lasts about 3 hours. Getting so irritated.

I'm trying to get back on my feet emotionally but I'm still shaky. I need to get up to speed quickly...I have a lot to do before Florida. Usually my daughter grounds me but she's at her dads tonight. Not sure what to do.
