wouldn't everyone love a week where we weren't worried about meds, how depressed we are, how to get over it, how to put one foot in front of the other, how to carry on a decent life, how to contribute to society, how to cope?????????????? xoxoxo pat

That would be a wonderful week. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh just thinking about it. Maybe I am just missing the 53rd week of the year.

I wish it would all quit for a bit. It is such hard work and often like beating my head in to the wall. Poop on it all. I am taking a nap.

Yes.... me too.

[Perna]

You offering this, Pat? Awwww, so kind of you, I'll take one! LOL

I sometimes try to take breaks like I take with studying when I get sick of it; literally just drop it and sleep late, go to bed with a novel early, order pizza for dinner instead of cooking, go buy myself something "new" I've been thinking about for awhile, eat too much of something, usually, chocolate/candy, etc. I've been sweating my history final exam that's next Tuesday for a week now but just figured out even if I get a 70, which I think I can do easiy, I'll still have an "A" in the course so I'm cramming but not so religiously. What's the worse that can happen if you don't "worry" about being depressed for a couple days and just "assume" you'll take your meds when you're supposed to as usual (sometimes I pretend any meds I take are "magic"/life changing in some specific way or aphrodisiacs)? I love reframing :-) Don't forget "stressed" spelled backwards is "desserts"!

[SecretGarden]

Perna.... Sometimes that is easier said than done. I just took a three hour nap... oh well... Somehow I kept telling myself that I was working something through. I could not stop thinking...even then.

OK.... yes... leaving the house and will hope to find a few hours away from myself... lol... but afraid I will be with me intermittently and back again tomorrow.

Where is the dimmer switch or the on/off switch? What a bother.

everywhere i go, there i am.

Yes, Pat.... is that an offer? Sign me up for the full week please.

I bought the button that said this when I was in a depression and boy that was certainly a reality check.... Yup... tis true... though sometimes I try to divert myself... but then...there I be.

I would settle for a day!

at times , i'd settle for an hour!!!! and when i do get an hour of it, i really cherish it and rejoice!! still praying for 24 hours.........

if i could, i'd pass out full weeks right and left.......xoxoxoxo

[Amie2]

I would like to stop thinking about all this kind of stuff as well. I thought that finally going to group then having an appt with my pdoc would help that but it didn't. I have been thinking about how I am angry with my pdoc instead.

fayerody I like your quote!

[Wants2Fly]

I'm sorry to hear that your busy mind is driving you crazy. I hope you find an outlet. Are you taking photographs? Making jewelry? Would any of that help right now?

((((((((((((((((((Fayerody))))))))))))))))))))))

[nothemama8]

if your passing out time give me 15 min. I could use it

wants, my house is filthy and all i'm going to do today is watch NBA games and make jewelry............. i think that will help me.........

angie, i'd send you more than 15 minutes if i could find it. i'd give all of us so much relief that we wouldn't know what hit us.

today is better and i'm calm and i am going to spend it, for once, doing something i want to do. NBA and more jewelry. and laundry. have to have clean panties and socks......

[Wants2Fly]

I hate laundry. I never do it -- even when I'm in the best of spirits -- until it needs to be done. Enjoy the game and jewelry making. I hope it helps.

(((((((((((((((((Fayerody))))))))))))))

[nothemama8]

have to wait on our laundry til Monday, sewer backed up yesterday plumber came fixed waiting for basement to dry, argggggggggggggggh

[Amie2]

I did start to make jewelry but I haven't for awhile. Maybe I should take it up again. I actually have calmed down quite a bit about my pdoc. I am still mad but not obsessing as much. I have one more group before I dont get to go or to see my pdoc individually for an indefinite period because I am starting a new job. The training will not permit me to do anything else during the day then I will have to see what shifts I get. I am looking forward to working a normal job again because I was starting to feel unemployable.

What kind of jewelry do you make fayerody?

Amie2

((((((((Pat))))))))))))

well, i watched the games but was too antsy to make jewelry. and did the laundry but didn't hang it out to dry........

i make silver and bead jewelry. i bought some greek leather cord recently and want to make some simple black necklaces with silver pendants. sigh...........

i guess my head will rule today. i'm going to work now. went back to bed this a.m.

I think we should all give ourselves the permission to take 30 minutes not to think about any sort of "condition" we may or may not have...
