Another day in bed. Triggered by something that happened last night, but not even to me... I was up all night worrying about a family member. So were a few of us, but they all made it into work today. I am so lucky that my boss is so understanding, but I feel like I'm really pushing it. Why can't I just force myself to get up and drag myself into work like most people do, because they HAVE to? I am lucky to even have a job in this economy, and so I feel like I am really taking advantage of my boss's kindness. Everybody has a limit. It's only been a week since the last time I missed work... I know that everybody is allowed an occassional mental health day, but this is going way beyond that. It's like one day every week, or every other week. I hate this so much, I hate that I just can't get myself up and do what needs to be done like a responsible adult. I just don't know what to do. Thanks for letting me vent...

Thanks Madisgram... sometimes it just helps to get it all out. I made it to work okay yesterday (Friday) but sometimes it is just so hard. I'm on 150g Lamictal, 100g Zoloft, and a whole bunch of other stuff for unrelated things (heartburn, seasonal allergies, etc, etc, etc...). I see my T every other week, and my pdoc i've been seeing for 5 years. So I am getting help. It just seems that whether I can get to sleep right away, or I'm up all night (I have Sonata for that, which I only take sometimes), it is SOOOO hard to get out of bed in the morning. Even if I'm not feeling down. I'll go a week getting up early and taking my time in the morning, and I love that. But after about a week I just can't do it anymore, no matter how much I want to. It's pretty random, and I'm still trying to figure out the triggers and cycles... it's just a long, long road, and hopefully I can keep my life on track while i'm figuring it all out.
