Yes I kept a mood chart for many months when I was first diagnosed and it really helped! I now log it all directly in my daily planner, as it got to be too much having it separate for me- I find I’m more consistent with it in the planner. logging moods & keeping track of med changes is so worth it!

I am so ****ing depressed I think I’m scaring my mom. I feel just so dead inside. I can’t eat anything I’m losing weight I just feel mentally and physically drained. All this talk about the vaccines for Covid getting ****ed up and people dying from them and then all the election crap is just really really taking a toll on my mental health and I am truly concerned for myself. Post op depression is real.

Okay now I’m strongly believing it was the tegretol that was making me have all those crazy emotions. Ive been charting my moods and since I stopped it the chart is looking much better and I’ve only had to note voices a couple times instead of the notes section being full of ridiculousness. I mean, there are still mood swings but it’s not going from 0-10 and back every 30 minutes. Definitely something I need to remember to tell my new pnurse next week

I've been out to get coffee from Tim Horton's so far today. Talked with C. Listening to music. Need to find something to do. This wasn't a problem at my old place. Maybe I'll do my laundry. That's something to do!

Things are mellow for me for the first time in a long time. Feels good. Son is doing much better. I haven't had a panic attack in 2 days. I'm hoping the trileptal is helping. I cant take all my meds at once or I get a really weird feeling and have a panic attack. So I take most of them at 11pm and then eat something, and take the rest of them at about 1am. It seems to be working. Keeping me from having the weird feeling.
Hope everyone is having a good day. ![]() |

I don’t think I have ever felt this depressed in my entire life. Where I have stopped eating and have just felt so incredibly hopeless.

I am so very sorry. I have been in this deep dark place many times before. All I can say is I have always somehow come out on the other side. I hope you will find your way out too.

Today was my grandfather’s memorial service. I was extremely anxious on the way there. I was very worried it would be an open casket, which I HATE and definitely would not have been able to handle for him. But thankfully he has been cremated, which I think is a much better option personally. The service itself, while sad, was very beautiful. I learned a lot of things about my grandfather that I never knew before. In the end, my grandfather’s cousin revealed that he went to visit a few weeks before his death and asked him if there was anything he wanted to pass on to us, specifically to my grandmother. He shared a beautiful poem (how do I love thee, let me count the ways) that my grandfather dedicated to her. If I were a crier, I would have cried then.
My grandmother was definitely distraught but trying hard to remain strong. I’m taking my son up there on Sunday to help her drag her plants in before the first frost. I’m still quite anxious. Probably leftover anxiety. I took a Xanax and I’m calming down a bit. I really wanted to call out of work tomorrow but alas, I only got one bereavement day at work and had to use PTO for the memorial service. So I’m down to two hours. And anyway, it’s a half day for the students so I only have to be “on” until 12:30. It should be fine.

Watching Back to the Future III. Finished I and II. I don't know if I'll finish this one tonight or not. I'm getting tired.

I'm doing much better with the Lamictal decrease. My legs aren't shaking, so I was able to walk to the library's curbside pick-up 2 blocks away and get my books that were on hold. So 4 blocks - that's the furthest I've been able to walk since surgery. And walking isn't painful...I feel like I'm in a dream, I'm so accustomed to being in severe pain when I walk.
One of the books I picked up is by Oliver Sacks; essentially it's about the effect of music on our brains.

Went to the GP today. I have a dark spot on my forehead which my wife just noticed a couple of weeks ago; she insisted I get it checked out. I've known about it for at least a year. Doc says it's not cancerous.
More news on the weather front: the red flag warning got down-graded so the power wasn't shut off. I'm sure you were all worried about that. Anyhow, it's a relief for me because I can still have my morning coffee. They are predicting more high winds early next week though. When will this end?

Thanks, I left them a message today and waiting to hear back. I also skipped today's dose and am starting to feel better. I have reacted negatively to all the psych meds I have tried, not sure what the deal is.
