Texted my mom last night to come over today. She stopped by after church. I let her know that I primarily reach out via text. She doesn't pay attention to her phone to be quick to text, but I don't like talking on the phone that much. So if I'm having issues, I'll text first. Anyway, we went grocery shopping, then we stopped by the salon so she could get her hair done. It was nice spending time with her, especially since her AD has kicked in and she's easier to be around. Tomorrow I have to babysit my nephew while my sister has a doctor appointment, so seeing him is always fun. Not sure why I want to avoid good feelings. I kind of feel like I don't deserve it or I'm not supposed to have them.

You sound much better. I'm so so happy for you!!

I had a difficult time getting out of bed today.After lunch I went back to bed.I just got out a little while ago.Yesterday was nice though we went to mall and had dinner at my little sister`s house.She invited us to dinner so we could see my niece who is here for a little while she works far away so we don`t get to see her that often.

Welcome James!

Had a good day swimming at my brothers. The family thing is still having rippling effects across the entirety of my family and even the god awful facebook but I just carry on.

I asked my 10 year old son again about how he feels and he said

"We are done talking about that. It's done"
I was like "Why?"
"Because she is an a$$hole and theres nothing left to say"

BAHAHAHAHA ...he NEVER swears but how could I get mad at that wisdom. What a kid.

One minute I held the key

Slept soooo much yesterday... yikes! At least 14 hrs, if not more.

It was much needed rest, though. Genuinely exhausted from work.

Back to the grind today...

I need to use PTO/vacation at some point. Can't keep doing this; otherwise... *BAM* episode!

Doing ok so far today. I got up and came to work, Monday's are always really hard for me. I got some fresh air and sunshine this weekend and o think that helps me out. I still napped both Sat and Sun and didn't do as much cleaning as I wanted but I'm not going to beat myself up. Nobody else at my house is doing the cleaning either, why is it all on me. I work to, so why is it all on my shoulders?

Slept well. It was a little hot- thermostat / a/c went out 2 days ago. After-hours people never responded to my message. So this morning, I was going to go get a coffee and I looked at the clock in the car and it said 7:54. I turned around and parked in front of the office. I figured, I'll just wait until the office opens as long as I'm here now and maybe they can get me at the beginning of the "line".

I go in and talk her "her". The lady that works there that I think has it out for me. But she seems pleasant enough- in her rough way. I told her about the a/c. She asked a few questions. She said, "Great time for it to go out, huh?" I agreed. "You need to come all the way up here. You could've just called," she says. I tried explaining the clock and turning around, but I think it was lost on her. However, when I left, we exchanged happy words, so I'm happy that we left on good terms. This is the woman that I had thought was hiding my requisitions. Maybe she still is. We will see if someone comes to fix this damned air conditioner!

The soul crushing depression is back. I see my P-doc next week. I can't take anti depressants so hopefully he will up my lamictal. This really sucks and the wife has no understanding of it.

I hate it when that happens.
I had a similar event last week and it truly slowed my participation here. I'd almost stated I'd be gone for a month.
I've recovered mostly; yet, will not visit certain forums.
Over time, I have now learned there are some forums apt to trigger me and I just need to stay away, even when the forum is applicable to my own history. There's strength in knowing our own limits.

Hope you feel better Jennifer.

Had another headache today but not as bad as yesterday. My second course for college started today. It's a lot more work but I have most of this week's work done. I also have to write another poem this week. Anxiety kicked in around noon so I laid down for a couple of hours. Will be starting dinner soon.

Mood has been kind of grumpy from the headache. I think there may be something going on with the CPAP machine or just the dust kicked up in the house. Or it could be pollen. I don't know.

Daughter is home and freaked out over a spider. I got it since my husband was taking a nap at the time. It was big so it freaked me out too.
