How would you describe your mental health (or mood) right now?

Me: stable but anxious. I could go for a reduction in meds so my brain doesn't continue to get fried. (Brain frying is my biggest concern!)

I wish I could get my anxiety under control, but alas, meds don't seem to touch it.

me: tired of life and going nowhere, but acting like I have it all together because I don't have any real support around me

the last 4/ 5 days especially, it's been like what's the point?

I have litirally done nothing with myself

Stable and grateful. I have no complaints. I have flashbacks every now and again that upset me, but I'm able to quickly reign it back in.

It must be so difficult with no real support. Do you have professional support?

I’ve been stable (and happy) for several weeks, almost six weeks

Started to sleep a bit less, and a bit anxious/paranoid at some nights. Dream a lot. So, I pay attention to any shift in mood.

Edit: wrote 2 months, it’s been about six weeks with stable moods

I had a good weekend. As for at this precise moment, I kind of feel irritable. We are having people come to measure for our upcoming new counter tops. My husband and I had a disagreement about what to do with a particular empty space. He ended up getting his way, which is not uncommon in our marriage. I'm not really on board with his decision. I am the cook/baker, and an enthusiastic one. He isn't. I really wish that I had more authority over what gets done in the kitchen. Him being the dishwasher isn't sufficient, and isn't relevant to the part of the kitchen we debated about. Plus, I am more knowledgeable about sales and marketing than he is. I know what any future prospective buyers would find more appealing. Whatever!!!!!

Ha ha. Considering I just spent a week IP and was so excited to get out that I didn't realize I am still somewhat hypomanic.

Depakote was added to my meds and quitiapene increased. See pdoc tomorrow. Do NOT want to go back in!!!! But I should be fine. Just wish I could sleep more than 6 hours a night but should be thankful I can at least sleep that much.

mood is good. slept great. took a klonopin late last night before bedtime and I think I'm still feeling it's effects this morning since I believe it stays in your system longer. no anxiety to speak of. no panic. feel clear, focused and lucid. I'm even going to have a cup of coffee, which I've been avoiding like the plague. hope everyone has a great day. hang in there and stay strong warriors!

Boringly stable, my dreams are my excapest avenue. Last night I traveled with gypsies and cooked on a two tiered grill and had to run for my life.

I'm both nervous and sad.

Nervous because something significant is happening at work and sad because I miss my son and still getting over the loss of my cat 6 days ago.

It'll pass.

empty, anxious and excited. I'm excited because Miguel comes home tomorrow. I feel painfully empty and anxiety is with me all the time.

I'm happy.

I'm excited for you to get your new countertops BirdDancer! I remember getting mine when we rennovated the kitchen a few years ago. It was so nice because I spend so much time in the kitchen. My husband and I debate things all the time. We usually land on the same decision, but it is frustrating when we don't. We started adopting the rule that the person with the most skin in the game decides. That usually works although sometimes there is just no easy way to agree. I am sure your kitchen will look amazing regardless!

I’m stable and grateful for it. I feel good.

I vote your way goes! It make sense to me!

Surprisingly stable and pretty happy with a dash of intrusive/obsessive thoughts and anxiety. It's manageable, I just know that is not how a "typical" mind might be thinking.

Good! Too good some might say But it's better than the depression (mixed?) I just crawled out of.

Dealing with tons of panic and anxiety about the up coming Florida trip

Well, I was very busy and a bit stressed. Right now, I am both livid and very concerned. A strange mix of feelings, I'll admit.

Sounds quite entertaining!

Stable and happy; and shockingly doing okay physical health wise. I'm looking forward to a much needed vacation.

Thanks, yellow_fleurs 😊! I wish it turned out that way, but it didn't. It does make sense, but oh well!

I have been increasingly irritable, to put it mildly. I could share stories about this, but I won't. It's gotten to the point where it's a red flag.

Last night I was back living in dorms and a group of mean girls stole a very expensive art textbook and a pimped out pink phone from me. Their T made them give it back to me. But I had a better phone. Although I was very happy to get my book back. At the end of the dream I was drawing on draft boards

Anxious, anxious, anxious. I was in a car accident a few weeks ago, broken ribs, contusion along chest wall, now going back to work tomorrow. Since the accident, I've become VERY anxious driving. I work at 2 hospitals and some off-campus clinics. Tomorrow they want me to drive to the further away hospital and there are supposed to be thunderstorms with high winds. I. Am. So. Anxious.

I will be talking to my boss before I start working tomorrow, and maybe somehow I can get out of it. Or maybe not, and I should just suck it up because this is what my normal workdays will be like, and I have to start sometime. I wish there weren't thunderstorms forecast!!
