It’s Saturday afternoon, the skies are blue, it’s hot but not too hot. Managing to maintain stability. I joined a gym. It helps me manage my anxiety and agitation - I prefer exercise to prn’s.

[xRavenx]

I have been emotional and mind has been on the past quite a bit. However, I have been trying to watch and read funny things, which makes the day a little better. I am so glad it's the weekend, because I don't have to worry too much about my sleep cycle since I am not working. I was so sick last night. Tonight is a little better, but I hope that continues.

Have a good weekend everybody.

I'm done with life.

[bpforever1]

I am ok and am shooting the breeze. I applied to about twenty jobs and have two interviews. I am waiting for more responses hopefully. In the meantime, I'm going to relax and enjoy life. What the heck!! Jobs come and go, but my life is becoming short. I had a weird dream that I was being executed by chemical injection. People were crying and I said my last words of gratitude to my parents and said, "Don't be like me." Then, I woke up and was in my apartment again. I don't know what to make of it. I was actually very happy to be alive still. And, I am very grateful for the life my parents gave me with God's help. So, I'm not sad nor bitter about my mental illness. I don't have time to think about being miserable but want to enjoy the rest of my life to the fullest. Life is too short and should not be wasted on feeling depressed. I don't know how to convey my gratitude about my life, my health, and my freedom. I am simply thankful.

Felt beyond high strung since I started taking this new med. My mentor says that i seem very manic and he should know since he has BP. So im gonna stop this new med since its only been 2 days on it. I dont need mania popping up. Ive noticed ive been talking a million miles an hour the last few days and that not normal as of late for me. So i guess ill look into another med to help with impulse... Sigh.... the merrigoround continues lol

I have had a good day mood wise.

little anxiety (at various parts of the day, over nothing), but apart from that good.

I forgot to take my medication today. I am very depressed for yet another day. I am waiting for my son-in-law to get here in order to finish his tile job that he started last weekend. He is bringing his mothers famous meat and potatoes burrito. So I have something to look forward to. My life is piuntlsss to me right now. I am really stuck in life. I have no job and no car. My court date is on the 23rd of this month. I have another separate court date on the 30th. Oh well. I realize there are others in much worse of a situation than I am.

Looks like I may have pinkeye too. I have some ointment for that. It makes vision real fun. I have to put my glasses further down my nose to see.

Doing laundry, did a food/stuff run, and finished my first exam. My daughter was talking to me while I was testing, and I still got a 97 out of it. She needs to take one of her friends out because he's getting strung along with a girl who just wants attention all the time. He's feeling really depressed so she and her boyfriend want to do some fun stuff with him.
She has such a big heart for her friends.

Mood is okay. Still worried about husband's health, but not much I can do now.

I don't know if it's the flu or this damn headache I've been dealing with the past 2 days now. I'm finally able to keep water down. I thought I might have been dealing with a migraine but now I am not so sure. I feel like I have been hit by a truck. Now I think this headache is part of the flu. My husband works later today so I will alone be for a while. I am feeling anxious about this. I haven't been able to take my meds for two days now. I was doing better but now the anxiety has returned. I can feel my depression coming back to. I would of tried to take it but I couldn't even keep water down. I am afraid this has really set me back. I want so bad for this anxiety to leave. Maybe my pdoc was right maybe I was still depressed and it was just so mild I just didn't notice it. All it took was 2 days of missing my meds to throw me completely off. I hate this bs. Being sick mentally is enough now having to deal with this damn flu to. I probably should go to bed soon.

I took an exam this morning that totally wore me out, but I have been in good spirits most of the day. However, I am supposed to be headed to bed, but I have a sudden rush of manic energy and I can't tell my brain to shut up!

Not doing so great anymore. Also going to visit my grandma in IP today. I'm hoping that my presence will cheer her up.

[99fairies]

I had to take extra sleep meds and am so hungover today. Hope it passes soon and today is a good one.

[BPQuestions]

Had to stop a new med bacause I was feeling way manic on it. The energy was amazing but I dont need the associated behaviors. So heres hoping I balance out until I can talk to the pdoc. Its gonna be a good day.

[VerMOZZica]

I only took 1 mg of my alprazolam last night so I didn't get much sleep so I am not feeling the best at the moment. I'll probably be heading out to church later though. I did have a nice day yesterday though my older sister took me to the movies and then we walked around the mall for a bit then we had dinner.

[Unhinged88]

I have been working 6 days a week lately so yesterday was my only day off. Today is back to the grind but I am not ready. Luckily after this week I have 3 days off. I need them to recharge and take care of neglected duties. I can do this...

[bpforever1]

I am doing ok. I received another interview request. Things are humming along. I hope to get this job and hope it is part-time so I can work at night at companies. We shall see.

It's very sad and emotionally upsetting to watch our loved ones suffer.
My heart goes out to you, Blue.

Feeling good, overslept a little bit, but I won't beat myself up because its Sunday. Nice weather today, so it kinda numbs down the symptoms a bit.

I'm at a real low today -- let's hope for a turnaround.

[Unrigged64072835]

Hugs to all that want them.

Eyes are getting better. Have a sinus headache so I'll take something for that too.

Did some schoolwork and some vacuuming. Other than that it's been a typical quiet day.

Mood is okay.
