I'm glad you're feeling better, Faltering. Stress really can hit us hard.

I only slept 4 hours last night. I seem a little ramped up, but everybody always writes off any symptoms of hypomania as simply doing well. So, who knows? I have my belief.

Slept for most of the day. Trying to sleep off this pneumonia. I felt kind of guilty because the house is a wreck but I physically can't clean it right now. I'm dizzy when I stand up for too long. I couldn't even shower today. I'm hoping after sleeping through the night I'll be a little better tomorrow.

I'm happy though that being sick hasn't seemed to impact my mood. Sometimes it does.

Feeling ok. Just finished my second week back at work (casual) after being IP. Seem to be settling in well even though it has been very hectic. Thanks Modafinil.

((((hugs)))))

I can understand

anything ending can be very sad, even if you might not see it at the time.

I know for me, for example, you read about my eviction? (in another thread)

I'm quite happy to be leaving here- I don't really like it here, but I know tgheir's going to be loads i'll miss.

1 of the hardest things for me at the moment is telling someone i'm close too here that i'm going. i've not quite worked out how I'm going to tell him yet. he'll be devistated.

good lukc though. I really hope you like your new place

I have a rant.

people that ask you to call at a certain time, and then when you do call them, they don't answer the telephone.

it's not difficult. it's really, really not.

if you ask to be called, then the least you can do is have the courtesey to actually be by the phone at that time

i'm feeling... a mix of guilt and anxiety.

anxiety over the upcoming eviction, and guilt because I didn't do my second anxiety course.

why didn't I do it. really, I should ring the instructor to make up some excuse, but she never rang me, so on the flip side, why bother...

Anxiety is my problem now. I even had a recurring theme in my dreams of forgetting college courses I signed up for until it is midterms or finals time. I haven't been in college for ages.

I'm anxious when at work but even more anxious at home over the weekend. Too much time to think.

Ok, it is Sunday. I'm so anxious I tend to stay pinned to the couch. I have to do laundry and pick up a bit, and give the hummingbirds fresh sugar water. And many more things. Perhaps I'll find a little energy. I hope.

I've had two dreams in the past week that I was IP and wanted to be there and actively tried to stay longer. Last night my dream involved minor self harm. Strange, because usually I only get these dreams when I'm in an episode. I am not in an episode right now. I've been stable for a few weeks.

I've also had two dreams that the guy I'm seeing turns out to be an abusive monster. In the dream last night he flipped out because I had other guys' numbers in my phone. Now, I have never had premonition dreams so I don't think this is a "sign" or anything. But it is a real fear I have. I'm so trusting, or at least I was, that I could easily see myself getting sucked into an abusive relationship. This guy doesn't seem abusive, but I've only been talking to him for three weeks. We've only been out twice. Obviously I don't know him well enough to make any calls like that.

I think my husband kind of ****ed me up. I trusted him 100% and turns out he was hiding a drug addiction from me. Even after he got clean I trusted him, and even when I saw the signs of him using again, I believed the excuses. And then bam. Dead. I don't know how easy it will be for me to trust someone again.

Ah well.

I've been severely depressed for a week and a half

Possible trigger:


I think I'm okay... for now. I went back on my antipsychotic for once, and it seems to be helping... a bit? Dunno. Tomorrow will tell. I was feeling horrible all week long. I'm trying to stay positive, though.

Stay safe blue

I feel quite fortunate at the moment. Have had 2 totally normal days. No complaints. No ups. No downs. Been able to ignore any negative thoughts that try to nudge me. See I knew I was fine

I think my procycadine is working.I had no pain for 7 hours straight today! I'm also taking magnesium and doubled up on my klonipin. I'm not sure what exactly is making me feel better. But I'll take what I can get.

Too little sleep...crying...wandering around the house aimlessly. Very depressed but also agitated and irritable. Looks like a bad day ahead. Trying to be positive...

Felt brain trying to sneak in a ramp up last night but squashed it by blasting loud music in my ears. The rate I'm going, I'm going to blow an ear drum. It helped though. Fell asleep but woke at 3am after nightmares, still felt unsettled so reluctantly took .5mg Ativan. Slept til 8. Sunny out now and am yet again determined to have a positive day

Hugs all, and to those affected by the atrocity in Vegas

I am suppose to take two showers today and one early tomorrow morning just before an operation I have that morning. This is allot of showers! I usually take a shower once ever few days. Just doing that takes allot of effort.
