Have been trying to get my son situated at middle school. It's going pretty well. We both are starting to be able to relax a bit and not be so anxious. But boy, oh boy, is it expensive. So a bit anxious about that. My son hit a bit of a milestone yesterday, and I just can't believe how much he's growing up.
Mood has been pretty good. Glad I'm finally leveling out. Just wish the anxiety would chill. Been smoking like crazy. I so want to quit altogether. Seems impossible with my anxiety like it is. |

I have that meeting with HR at work today at 1, nervous about this. I've been thinking about it since I came in and saw the email Tues morning. I think I may have gone over the 4 days a month my fmla papers cover me for and I don't go in to see new Dr until Oct and I know she won't fill out new paperwork without meeting with me first. It sucks to be in trouble over this. Mental illness is so unpredictable, how can we guess how much time I'll need off

I've been a little under the weather lately and trying to keep busy so I haven't been around too much lately. Starting late yesterday, I started deteriorating mood wise very quickly: crying, wanting to sleep, heartbroken and having SI. My daughter has taken to college like a duck to water. I'm happy about that but I haven't seen her in weeks and talk to her less then 5 minutes a day and when we do we argue. I'm just in so much pain right now. I'm trying to get back on my feet. It's just so hard. I feel IP coming on. I have a therapy appointment today. I hope that helps.
Sending hugs to everyone. ![]() |

Predictably, I'm feeling better after getting a full night's sleep. My mind did start worrying again but I was like hell no, I'm not doing this today. So I put on some string quartet music and concentrated on that instead of my thoughts. Mindfulness, I guess. It helped. I fell asleep by like 10:30 and slept straight through until 8:15. So I good today. I got blood work done, which I always avoid because I hate waiting around for an hour and then they can never get me. But I knew I wouldn't be able to do it any other day and I want to make sure the depakote isn't messing up my liver yet. So I went.
I'm hoping my friend will want to go take a walk with me but he might be too tired. I'm gonna go grocery shopping and maybe get some garden tools and tackle the side garden, which has been overgrown for a couple of years now. Maybe I can go for two days of normal in a row!

My dad is home and doing really well! Such a weight off my shoulders. I saw my pdoc yesterday and I complained about how much weight I had gained after being put on clozipine. He is slowly taking me off it if I can remain stable while I take less and less. Good news all around!

Meh. Was ok this morning. Now I feel blah. Got paperwork to fill out and my case manager is ignoring me. So it seems I'll have to do it alone. My brain already doesn't work! It's due soon too.

Meeting with HR went ok I guess. Basically if I have time off that isn't fmla and I don't have vac or sick time to pay me I'm in trouble. Not sure why they get upset that I have unpaid time but it's not allowed. It's considered unapproved time off even of I have a Drs note

I got feedback from my students. I have room for improvement and want to take their criticism constructively. I am not perfect as a teacher. I just started teaching about two years ago so I have ways to go before I can say I am experienced. I am happy overall with teaching.
I also had some trouble with an internet company but settled the dispute by saying I would pay the amount it requested even though it was a substantial amount. The companies here in Japan sometimes target foreigners and rip them off. I also went to a local doctor here and he charged me 7 times as much as the usual charge for medicine and his service. I was shocked but paid and vowed to never go back. I am dismayed by some businesses here because of these experiences. But, it can happen anywhere. I just have to be cautious and take my business elsewhere. Japan seems like a decent country. I like it here overall. But, being ripped off because I am a foreigner is what makes Japan at times no different than any other country which preys on the vulnerable. |

I'm sorry for the meltdown earlier. It's embarrassing. I'm back on my feet moving. I think we both had different expectations on the level of communication. I'll keep busy and adjust.

I'm not doing well at work. Things keep piling up and I'm unproductive. It's hard to focus and I keep thinking people are watching me and talking about me in a negative way.
Fortunately I just received my new insurance card. I'm glad because being without insurance for a few months was scary.

Been really depressed the last few days. My brain is going so slow and struggles to process anything like appointments and university classes. It in fact hurts to think. Been awake now for an hour and think I'm doing a bit better today. Having my fifth TMS soon. Will be anothe week or so before I am supposed to notice an improvement. I really hope it works as there is no hope after that. I just can't live like this, going from bad episode to bad episode every few months.
Saw a sleep specialist and he wants me to do an IP sleep study to see if I have a mild form of sleep apnea. More appointments and more money. But if they find something maybe I will feel better after treatment. I have had a busy week which has helped. Today I am having TMS, catching up with my parents and nephew, studying then going to the gym. Will be tough when all I want to do is hide in bed but I think it will help. I am trying to do all I can to combat the depression, I don't want to give up even though I have little hope. At least if worst came to worst I will go down fighting.

My pdoc and I are debating whether to increase my medication or not. She said she would be fine with the decision either way, but suggested that if I remain feeling "stuck" by next visit, then I should give raising the Seroquel a try. I've been on much higher doses of Seroquel before, but the less I can try to get away with, the better, since I have a hard time with some of the side effects. In the meantime, I was given the ok to increase the frequency of taking Klonopin for the time being.

I met with my therapist yesterday. She feels like my Social Anxiety sounds likes its false. But I really do have a hard time trusting people. She did suggest that I enroll in a few classes at a community college nearby. It sounds promising, but I have never known colleges allow you to take classes without enrolling in a course.

Today was ok. I slept a lot. My youngest daughter was home sick. My adult daughter called upset. Her anxiety was getting the better of her. I talked to her for a while and gave her a few coping suggestions. I talked to her again when she got off work.

I have sat with this blank page in front of me multiple times over the past couple of week truly having no clue what to write. Or I'd type then delete then log off. There just seemed nothing to write. All seemed so trivial and (my life). Having hard time finding the point of anything these days. Mood pretty stable still just feel nothing. I would just like to feel a genuine sense of happiness day to day. I'm starting to think that's an unrealistic expectation of life with or without medication.

Feeling depressed. At lunch with friends. Food no here. Almost 18 yo through it in my face and took off down the street from the restaurant a group of us are at. Nobody is noticing me any way. It's too loud to here for one thing. I don't know the way home. Yeah.

Dreams all night. Not much good sleep to be had. Will probably take a nap later. To top that off dealing with a bad headache and stomach issues. I think the poor sleep and the dreams are the start of depression. Tired lately and not much energy. It doesn't help that Fall is coming soon. Summer was abnormally cold this year. Good thing I don't swim, not much of that would of happened so far.
