Been feeling blah today. I feel like I should feel very joyous with what I have going for me, but I don't. I guess it's because I'm clouding my mind about the "what if's" for the future, like it's pretty nice now and it's going to be bad later on.

I've had an off and on headache all day. I've had those before. A friend of mine maybe facing surgery pretty soon and I hope it goes well. He's very old so it might be risky for him. I think about what could happen to him and possibly with him passing away. I would miss him, but I feel like he's not the very best friend to have. Perhaps I'll miss him because he's all that I have.

This is the most depressed I've been in the last 16 months. I cry often. I'm wasting so much time that I could put to some use.

I keep trying to figure out a solution. I come up with nothing I can believe in.

[regretful]

Reluctantly, still taking a small dose of lexapro; seems to be helping a bit. Still depressed. Wishing all of you well with your personal battle against this invisible monster.

Last night I slept better than I have in a while. Mentally, I'm starting to feel less depressed.

I'm glad for you, Rose!

I am far from where I was last year at this time. But the start of January until the start of spring always makes me feel crappy even with my birthday mixed in there. The 31st of January until Febuary 6th are especially depressing. My therapist helped me out a lot today though. I think I'm just tired right now. I do have to heavily think about going back to work very soon. My bills are piling up and I have not even gotten all my medical bills and I have another test coming up.

[Deilla]

I have work now. I'm glad. It's keeping me busy.

[Rose76]

I see I'm not the only one who nose-dives post holiday till the buds are on the trees. And I have a Jan birthday too. Good luck coping with that - Mountaindewed.

In the past 36 hours I've slept 5.

Been feeling up and down throughout the days. I have a dental appointment next week for a procedure and I'm not looking forward to it.

Around six months ago, I made it a goal for myself to leave the area where I live in April. It's only a couple of months away and feel far from ready to make any kind of move. I know I should make a move but I'm feeling perplexed about it. And it gets me down a whole lot with depression and anxiety.

[Rose76]

I'm still in a weird state. I've sat for hours now, mostly just thinking.

[Rose76]

I'm having a bad night.

Kind of took easy today instead of going on a long bike ride like I do on Sundays. I'll go on an hour ride instead later on today. Did some odds and ends at my place to keep me busy. I felt guilty that I didn't take that long bike ride today. I just didn't feel like it. I don't know if its just me but it seems like lately it's getting worse with traffic while bike riding. So many times I felt like I had some close calls in collisions. The drivers are just getting bad. It makes bike riding unappealing.

Also, I was planning on doing my income tax returns this afternoon but I didn't get my W-2 yet. I was upset about that because I preferred to do the taxes today instead of the bike riding.

[Rose76]

Never slept last nite. Ran out of Vicodin. Slight withdrawal symptoms. I'm sore. Yawning because I've not slept. Not too depressed, but kind of discouraged.

[hvert]

I'm feeling the cabin fever right now.

[Amethyst_Stargazer]

I'm feeling pretty okay right now. My Depression has gotten better this week which I'm happy about. I hope this feeling continues on.

A busy day today. I did my Federal Income Tax return (as of now, rough draft). I have yet to finish and send them off (the State also). I'm feeling down and anxious because of the dental appointment for Tuesday.

[Breaking Dawn]

Really tired, not enough sleep.

[Pinny]

I think Im feeling slightly better than I was but still not great. I have been on my new med for almost 3 weeks so I think Im beginning to feel the effects. I dont know that its enough though. I have an appt with my Pdoc in 2 and a half weeks. So Ill prob wait until then to see if she wants to increase the dose of my antidepressant or my antipsychotic.

pretty much a typical day

starving hungry

no sleep

no motivation

feel like crap

[Jennfisch]

I was anxious for several weeks then it turned into depression. I started taking Wellbutrin and stopped taking the depakote and Risperdal a few weeks ago because I feel like they were making me feel more depressed. I miss my mania because at least I'm motivated to do things like eat, get out of bed, shower and care about life. My hope is for the Wellbutrin to work. I'm on day 3 with the 150mg and my Dr. increased it to 300mg so I'll start that tomorrow.

Another busy day today. Woke up feeling anxious and depressed because of having to go to the dentist. I didn't sleep well last night. Well, it's halfway over now; at least the worst half of it is over. Glad to get that part out of the way. I have to come back in two weeks but it wont be as intense as today. I got through it today alright and it wasn't that bad.

After that I worked on my state income tax return and finished it in rough draft. The figures are pretty weird from what I'm doing, so I'm planning to get some help with it. My W-2 didn't come in the mail today as I was expecting it. There's something else I'm looking forward to in the mail and it didn't come either. Felt bummed out about it. Did some light errands in the afternoon and went on a small bike ride. I would have gone on a longer one but didn't feel like it.

[Mountaindewed]

I'm kind of depressed today and I think its more situational then weather related. I feel like I have family support but thats about it. Which I mean I know is a lot. I just feel sad today. I do feel like I am learning from past mistakes and I am speaking up more and saying whats on my mind. Mainly in therapy. I'm givng a lot more yes or no answers instead of kinda, sorta, sometimes, or I don't know responses.

[Rose76]

Feel pretty good. Now . . . if I can just keep moving.
