Tired tonight and I think I`ll take my meds after I put the clothes in the dryer.Went to the store today and ran a few errands.Oh and I also cleaned the bathroom and my bedroom.I sometimes hate leaving the house and having to go out and get groceries and stuff.My family says I don`t get out of the house enough.

You got a lot done, nevermind getting out of the house. I'd be proud of accomplishing that much.

Vertigo, I really admire everything you go through to combat your depression. I wouldn't be as strong or as brave as you. I know you've been struggling lately. I'm here if you need to talk. Thinking of you.

Ok...now that I wasted a week I need to cram about 5 days of activities into 1 day and get my driver's license renewed AND still leave at 3:00 am Saturday morning. Yeah...that will happen. My anxiety is kicking up. I think I'll go down to my sanctuary (floating in the pool) and chill.

I'm doing ok today and I hope everybody else is as well.

Omg. Diarrhea from Seroquel withdrawal (still) and 3 hrs of sleep in the span of 2 days!

Also. PSA: free donut at Dunkin Donuts today because it's "National Donut Day"

Thanks for the PSA. I'm sorry you're having so much trouble getting off Seroquel. It's sounds absolutely miserable. I hope it ends soon.

I am sorry this withdrawal is so difficult.
I hope you are staying super hydrated. Diarrhea is dehydrating.
You may have tried an anti-diarrhea med (OTC); if not you could try one.
(Check for drug interactions first.)
Feel better, blue!
It's bicycle weather!

I'm feeling more "normal" again this morning!
I am already dreading the low-dose chemo injection tonight. It changes things. It makes me more tired, esp the first 2-3 days. On the other hand, it keeps me walking. Why does there have to be so many trade-offs?

It's clear to me the pain, fatigue and other effects of medical conditions wears me out at times. Then I also have the side-effects of additional meds like morphine, prednisone, etc. (On top of all of the psych meds.)

Here's hoping the chemo injection won't bring me so low this weekend.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend!

i'm feeling okay, despite getting nothing done this week

a little embarrassed because I missed an important call this afternoon, but later tara wants to talk to me for an hour or so.. so i'm sure i'll feel better about the whole thing (i'm always excited when it comes to tara time!)

weather's good, not too hot, not too cold

was able to take a shower today (feel gross for it, but then that's just me)

oh yeah

also heard from bipolar UK

they said they have a male mentor who is around next week, but I said I'd prefer female, and would rather wait

Up and at it. Working on my file pile at work which is about 3 feet tall...no lie. You can't miss as much work as I do and stay caught up. My desk is depressing with all the piles!

I'm glad you have Tara as a friend.

Ok....I really dread my anxiety disorder. Nobody needs to feel sorry for me...it just helps me to get it off my chest. I get this paralyzing anxiety before every vacation and every holiday...really before any big change. I hate this with a passion. I work on it in therapy, I use my coping techniques and yet it remains. I am so paralyzed I can't get off the recliner and I'm leaving tomorrow and I have to get my driver's license renewed. It might as well be traveling to the moon for as capable as I feel. Anyway thanks for letting me get some of it out. It's an added pressure on my daughter and that's not fair to her. I wish I felt nothing sometimes. Being too sensitive and emotional is the pits. I need to calm down, take a deep breath, do my daily Calm meditation, make a reasonable plan and be gentle and compassionate with myself. Beating myself up for this won't help anything. Just remain calm...take deep breaths.. I had posted this on the anxiety forum but felt I wasn't being honest. I'll get over it.

I learn more and more of what you go through and I am so sorry you go through this week in and week out. I admire your strength. I just don't think I'd be able to handle it like you do. I hope your chemo injection doesn't bring you too low either.

I get hit with lots of anxiety, too, during the time leading up to trips. I enjoy the trip once I head out.
I hope you can find your center and do whatever you must do before you leave with relative ease.

I just had to cancel my ECT for not having a driver to get me to and from the hospital. It'll be July before my regular driver is back from holiday. This adds to my depression.

But Jenn, I wish you a wonderful holiday in Florida. Let the anxiety just flow off you, nothing is worth worrying about.
