I realized when we reached 99 but forgot by the time we reached 100.

Tired of staring at screens. Wasted lots of time. But I did a bit of work, I suppose.

I feel terrible…

I just have the whole "You should be in a psych ward!" statement in my head. But no one understands why that would be detrimental.

I have to go off one of my meds. I have little choice at this point, but I don't know when I'll see the doctor next and I don't know if I trust her because it was HER who put me on this poison in the first place. If I can split the pills…I can probably just wean myself off.

I'm doing good too much energy though. Even with a death in the family. That sucks and I'm afraid that I won't be able to be "sad" the day of the funeral because I've been as up as I have been. Grrrrrrrr...... If it isn't one thing it's another.

Been a good week. Lots of time with friends. Got the house clean. Looking forward to all the cooking next week, and of course Thanksgiving with all 23 family members.

Good day. Stayed off computer/except to listen to Graham Norton Show while I worked on projects. Got a lot done, that helped my dismal outlook.

Blue_Bird · Nov 24, 2013 at 09:14 AM

Ups- I see my pdoc the day after tomorrow to get meds adjusted.

Downs- I'm getting more depressed, still hallucinating

Rose76 · Nov 24, 2013 at 01:53 PM

Getting my house (and my S/O's house) fixed up nice for the holidays. Pleased with myself that I am getting stuff accomplished. Working on my kitchen today. I hate to get started, but know I'll feel good once I do. I just have to keep pushing myself, but the rewards are so worth it.

I've been having a nice weekend. Only got a little bit depressed once, so that's good.

Grey Matter · Nov 25, 2013 at 12:54 AM

I am really not feeling much of anything. It's not upsetting me or exciting me, just kind of on a straight odd line here.

Martek · Nov 25, 2013 at 01:26 AM

Barely got through the weekend, really not sure how I'm going to make it through Thanksgiving.

Nov 25, 2013 at 02:03 AM

tigersassy · Nov 25, 2013 at 04:18 AM

Doing ok. Kindda feel like I'm crashing though. Don't like this feeling. But what can I do. Off to ride the roller coaster called my life.

Nov 25, 2013 at 05:06 AM

not coping in the slightest

herethennow · Nov 25, 2013 at 05:38 AM

is okay. that's a good thing to have once in awhile... mid-terms are ending soon, thank god T_T

Bark · Nov 25, 2013 at 09:06 AM

(And I'm the one that sank the boat.)

I showed my professor my outline. She told me not to overthink it. I have to keep reminding myself it's not a dissertation.

Hopefully the depression I've fallen back into doesn't get deeper.

tokiwartooth · Nov 25, 2013 at 09:10 AM

I'd be better if it wasn't so cold outside! It was 23 this morning....

Silly Susie · Nov 25, 2013 at 09:43 AM

Had my 2 grandchildren spend the night Fri. Good distraction from depression. By 3 in afternoon Sat. was so ready for them to go home. This is a good reminder for me to be grateful that my kids are adults now, as I have no patience left-except to deal with OUR lives now. I love them all, I just have so little energy to interact.
After being depressed for so long, its almost unbelievable to actually have something positive, like feeling good for pushing myself to accomplish a task. Its a constant that I have to replace my negative thinking with positives.
Today, so far, is a grateful, hopeful day!!

Rose76 · Nov 25, 2013 at 02:18 PM

I'm still doing well. Like with Silly, above, it's "almost unbelievable" for me, after a full year of not being able to pull up out of a prolonged tailspin. Likewise, there is the need to keep "pushing" to maintain progress and then feeling good that things get done. It does make me feel grateful.

Amazing to me how similar things feel, both the ups and the downs, to people who struggle with depression.

Bark · Nov 25, 2013 at 05:39 PM

Feeling mixed. Hyper and energetic and wondering why I'm still breathing.
