How are you feeling today?

Bark · May 01, 2014 at 01:49 PM

I had an exam that I barely studied for, didn't buy the books for it and forgot to bring the printed treadings I did have (it was open book). I hope I did okay; a 70 would be fantastic.

It's such a relief to be done with almost everything. Just one more exam I have plenty of time to study for.

I'm also seeing a therapist every week. Finally!

In general, feeling good. Bit tired, but good. Let's see how long I can keep it up.

I got a nice email today, somebody is doing fine although there is struggle. It made me think I can do it, as well

Feeling like crap. I want to crawl in a hole and sleep forever. I never want to wake up. I hate this

If it weren't for my other two, I'd feel a lot worse about myself. A lot worse. Something I hold onto, when these rage sessions ensue. Years, gosh, first attempt with a LISW, tried rewards chart at age of 7? When pediatrician mentioned it was abnormal. Those were hours, day in day out. Better than where it was...

Drained, I'm drained. Then it's been mixed bag, when he turns to his father...coddling, enabling or well, not backed up.

He's grounded.

Looking at this school provided listing. Not sure...will be third attempt with a counselor.

Glad there is bag of sheets right there, that dent looks painted, clearly before me...

I'm on a downward spiral and there is no coming back from this one.

Well, I have been feeling pretty good today, just got over the main hump of my exams, only a few left to go. The downside mainly is the anxiety attacks, the stress of exams has been triggering anxiety attacks, but thankfully the Rivotril helps that.

TheOriginalMe · May 01, 2014 at 07:41 PM

Had an up and down day, the up was anger and anxiety, the down was exhaustion and sleep. Normally, anger and anxiety would be something negative and at the time that's how they felt, but just having the energy to have and feel those emotions feels like a breakthrough.

I'm a touch wired right now, probably because I slept most of the evening.

I feel horrible. I am so sad and uneasy and I don't know what to do with myself; I want to do everything and nothing at the same time. I feel like I have to pour my heart out to someone, to cry and be held and not judged while I do, instead of crying alone in the bathroom. But that'll never happen because I have no one.

mulan · May 01, 2014 at 08:18 PM

Not really good. But to tired to even talk about it.
Poor sleep...since Sunday...lots of nightmares. Wake up early today, it was an holiday, my neighbour was at home, so I had to heard hear music the all morning. Couldn't sleep anymore. Did nothing but sit on my bed with my computer and watch series episodes I had seen.
Detacheded and super lazy.

healingme4me · May 01, 2014 at 08:32 PM

Feeling alone and lost... Even with my supportive and loving boyfriend and friends I still feel like this

I feel alright for now, earlier I got offended on another site because someone implied only a mentally ill person could murder their child, which leads to only mentally ill people commit murder...only a mentally ill person could do this vile thing. Well it was BS and I said so, then they still didn't get it so I had to re-explain that one does not have to be mentally ill to do vile things to another human.....just irks me, why are people so ignorant.

Nammu · May 01, 2014 at 11:06 PM

So very close to losing temperamentally, lost my glasses, can't find **** here. So frustrated and it's building up on the embarrassment of earlier. Using two pairs of glasses just to try and read. Feel so close to really losing it. Just breathe, telling myself that pisses me off more, I'm in a losing cycle here. Time for a time out!

tigersassy · May 02, 2014 at 07:54 AM

Feeling a bit better maybe I'm rising from the deep dark hole I've been in for over a week. I'm doubtful its my med changes, but who knows.

Last night, I felt like my mood was slipping. Today, I feel a bit... meh. Don't feel like doing anything; still tired although I slept over 12 hours; haven't eaten a proper meal today. I have leftovers, but I have to do the dishes first. I have a class soon... I meant to do laundry and/or shower; I did neither. I'll see what clothes I have....

Having a more down day than usual, can't exactly pinpoint why. Could be because the weekend's coming up and I detest weekends lately. Could also be because my husband has plans tonight and Saturday without me. I just feel so alone and disconnected from the world. It's only 9:04 and I have nothing to do for about 2-1/2 hours, so I'll just do my usual f***ed up internet stuff.

regretful · May 02, 2014 at 09:36 AM

So this morning after going to sleep reassuring myself that tomorrow (today) would be better, I awoke depressed...again...with little to look forward to, and fewer positive things coming into my life. Could it be that depression is the defining event of my years on earth? It certainly feels that way...
