It is but I should probably put it back, right? I changed it during my last low point.

Had psych appt. today. She was ok with the med adjustments I'd recently made (was a little too emotionally blunted), so that was good. She added Topomax and I just took the first dose tonight. Not sure how I feel about it. It's a weight strategy thing -- nothing outrageous, but I'd rather get a handle on it sooner than later, so will give it a try. Curious if I'll get cognitive effects.

BF's been more or less up since yesterday. That's a help, even if he's not at anything approaching full speed.

So I'm a little nervous because my mom's bday is coming up. While I am happy for her about that, I am nervous because she has an outstanding property tax with the state we used to live in. If its not paid by then, she looses the car. I don't know if they will allow her to convert her license to the state we live in now. If her license in the state we use to live in expires, I won't be able to drive either. Its nerve racking considering both our conditions and the medication we are on. I want to help her, but I feel like I should not be held responsible for fixing her problems. I also feel that if I do help her then I won't be able to do anything for me. I'm really nervous. I really have no idea what to do. Do I risk my plans for colleges by helping her in every possible way? Or do I ignore her problems and continue with everything I have going for me?

I`m feeling overwhelmed because of all the stuff I have to move in order for the cable company to come.Other than that I can`t help from feeling really empty and lonely right now.I can`t wait for my bedtime meds to kick in.

I'm still very spaced out from intense emotions from several days ago.

I'm frustrated by how long it takes me to recover from intense emotions. It's like my brain gets flooded one day and it takes days or weeks to clean it up. Just trying to take it easy.

Just popped a melatonin. Oh please help me sleep.

Sorry you're not able to sleep. Did you get a good night's sleep? Hopefully it worked.

I know it's hard sometimes when you can't sleep.

Are you still depressed at all?

I'm glad you are feeling better than you were!

I hope things improve for you soon.

Me? I'm just half way to low.

I'm regressing again. I went out for a walk in the park this morning and quickly realized I'm not in the mood to be around people. I'm feeling irritable and starting to hear old voices again. I'm also depressed. It's hard to find the motivation to keep living, especially like this.

Saw Pdoc. She said it was too soon for a visit so she wouldn't bill insurance and "Medicaid is running out of money anyway"! Nice. All in all a dumb appointment.
