I am watching TV. I do not know what to do with myself. Maybe I should get myself involved in some activity? I do not know what that can be. I have lost some more weight to below what I should weigh. I am concerned about this because there has been a rapid weight loss fron 235 to 190. Maybe I should make an appointment with my doctor?

I am sorry you are feeling depressed.
Do you like music?
Perhaps you could go to a pawn shop and get a cheap guitar? You could watch you tube videos and teach yourself how to play.
Just a suggestion.

I was going to try to wait until next week to go back to the dr, give it some more time to improve, but I don't know.

I only have two cigarettes left and I did not buy another pack. Going to see if quitting improves my cough. I don't have much faith in myself. I've tried to quit so many times. But now I have a real, solid reason to quit, not just the abstract "it's bad for you". So maybe I can make it this time. We will see. Generally I quit for a month or so, fall into depression, no longer care if I live or die, so I pick it back up.

I just want to sleep from now until morning and beyond, I'm so tired. Wonder if it's a side effect of the cough syrup. No codeine in it.

Quitting could cure your cough.
You may very well have "Smoker's Cough"

I know this from years of on and off smoking.
I have been smoke free for about 6 months now.

Quitting takes a series of consistent right decisions.
Once the withdrawal pains come we must decide to ride them out .
As time goes on it gets easier.

If you have a cough it is the right time to quit.
Best Wishes!

Don't take your daughter's behavior personally.
She loves you, but right now she is distant from you.

Just remind her from time to time that you love her.
Ask how she is and offer help.

Be a source of blessings in her life.
She will eventually come around and you will be closer.

She is just going through things she needs to go through without you now.

She will be back

I suggest you see your Doctor asap for your peace of mind!

Hey. Just checking in to say hey. I've been back at work for like 2 weeks now. Am starting to feel a little less crazed and slowly getting into a routine. Mood is pretty good. Having some trouble keeping up with chores at home tho- I get so focused on my job that my house starts to turn to chaos.
I did do dishes today and cleaned out fridge and kitchen tho, so I am trying. Haven't gone to the gym in weeks- I need to figure out how to fit that into my schedule. Work is kind Of crazy busy- I took on an extra course which means more $ which will be cool but it also means more work. Ah well.
Anyway just wanted to wish u all a good week. Take care

I've got two weaponized horror stories gurgling on the runway. A friend on the mainland will submit them for publication under his name so I'm not exposed as a nut bar.

Mrauk U, Myanmar.

feeling good so far today.

had a tough afternoon yesterday in terms of mood, and hope today's better.

tomorrow afternoon I am seeing my mental health worker, and that will be good.

if she remembers to turn up

I had a bit of an issue this morning, where my computer wouldn't turn on.

i'm thinking oh no... I can't afford a new PC right now

thankfully though, it didn't turn off properly last night, and just needed a few minits to catch up

did have me worried though

[jacky8807]

glad your computer is ok shattered sanity!

I am just in a really weird spot. Continuing to hope it dissolves on its own. Thx for listening . Its probably annoying to hear someone stressed out over their mood but refusing meds.

will see how it goes.

Working on second cup of coffee. Dr. pdoc is prescribing naltrexone for me to help with my alcohol cravings. Have to have liver blood work done first then monthly. she is starting me at 25 mg don't know what is the regular dose for effectiveness, I think it is 100mg.
I have a friend of mine who has severe MS and is BP1 and is now going thru a mixed depressive state. very scary for her as she has had a very severe SI attempt in the past. So I am worried for her. her pdoc is starting her on an other AP.

bizi, I hope the naltrexone works for you.

I'm feeling good despite not sleeping my usual amount.
I see my T today. That'll be good.

My statistics say I write 1.55 posts a day.

I can't figure out which ones are only half completed...

Apparently your friend has already been exposed.

I wish you great success with your work...or play...or nutbar rants...

Doing good today. Been sleeping in the den with my daughter's very depressed dog. Been snuggling with him and walking him etc. but he mopes all day and lets me get between 2-4 uninterrupted hours of sleep at night. Yep, I'm about to call his vet about anti-depressant for dogs. Poor fellow. Have spent so little time with my cat lately she's probably feral.

Godless! DBSA last night was a bipolar rodeo without prizes. A new dude came with his astonishing 6'4" girlfriend for support and spilled free-range crazy all over the room. Everyone on earth spanning dimensions and time was conspiring to prevent him from carrying out his ultimate mission, which has yet to be assigned.

Every time he commented on someone else's experience he confidently offered a suggestion that was either space garbage or wrong.

"Mental health is about feeling. If you feel that you're alright then you're alright."

Space garbage.

"You can think your way out of depression by concentrating on positive thoughts."

Wrong.

[jacky8807]

worked last night and can't sleep today
have come up with 1000 ways the world is conspiring against me.
tried to redirect paranoid I. the world wide web and failed tragically. the internet is a scary place

[jacky8807]

what is a donk and where do i get one?

[jacky8807]

is there ever a bipolar rodeo WITH a winner?

[99fairies]

My side effect med must have kicked in cuz I can move with little pain today! I really hope my pharmacist can find more in the next couple of days or this reprieve will be short lived.

I am so nervous right now like something bad is just around the corner. I feel it in my stomach. My hands are shaking real bad.

I have been watching TV and getting car insurance quotes. So my current situation is not too bad despite my feelings.

[Wild Coyote]

Very anxious today while reaching out to reunite with an old friend. I had disappeared, as I was suffering a brain injury and more PTSD. I have had a long period of "recovery"/adjustment and am just regaining some memories, after a lot of amnesia. I was very withdrawn. I am just now "up to" trying to engage in our friendship again. I had to explain and hope she cared enough to hear me out. She was very kind and happy to hear from me, thankfully.

It was tough, yet well worth the effort.
