Who needs that.

Thanks Rose! Ha...yes, it seems I have found my voice today. Thanks for your response. Going into T with some notes jotted down is a very good idea. The problem is I can't see myself actually doing that. I don't know why, other than it would feel uncomfortable to me. Like I'm being too assertive or something.

But this inane talking about trivial stuff is so so so frustrating! Frustrating to the point of wondering if I should go back.
Thanks for this!

Squiggle= Thank you for starting Daily Roll Call for me. Since you started it I have not had to go back to the other web site I was member of that was so anti-med/anti-T, but I did because I needed someplace to check in every day, touch bases with others struggling like me. Here at PC it is much more supportive and positive and I look forward to coming each day and my heart goes out to each and every one of you who take the time to share your life with me. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your day. Bless you. You give me the courage and strength to go on each day.

today was an ok day. we had a going away party at work. the girl leaving was never very nice to me. when she first started she was exceptionally troublesome for me. got me in trouble with the boss. i was severly ill at the time, i tried to explain to her, but she treated me like crap, no kindness or compassion at all.these last couple months we had to work together on a project. we talked more. she apologized for treating me so poorly. said my mental illness scared her. we had some things in common. she admired my knowledge on some things she wanted to know. she said that she missed out on a lot by not getting to know me. i really didnt have much to write in the going away card. i felt bad. is it that i havent forgiven her?

i hope everybody is doing well. hugs to all

Today has been kind of tough and I don't even know why. I don't really even know how I feel. I don't seem to know anything

Bad news. And scary too. I am being audited by the IRS for 2009. They want $5000 in back taxes they say I owe. I am sure I do not owe this. But I am not certain how to communicate this to them so that they will believe me. I don't know what is required to document my case, plus I don't have time for this. They gave me less than a month. Any advice on how to explain my case to the IRS? If I stuff some bank statements and so on into the envelope and mail it to them, will they be able to figure it out? Do I also have to write a narrative explanation to help them understand? Should I hire an accountant to help? Bleah.

((sunrise)) that's awful. I don't know what to tell you. Maybe do a google search or ask an attorney. Sorry this is happening to you.

Oh my gosh, Sunrise, that sounds so scary. Please keep us updated--maybe consult with an attorney?

Still have my voice but I feel like I am fading into not speaking again. Today is very hard. I don't know why. I know that I am depressed. I'm fighting it. Really, really trying hard to fight it. Taking the kids to their gymnastics class in a bit and then it's off to haircuts. The hairstylist (what's the word I'm looking for?) is feeling better today. So we're going to take a chance and pray we don't get sick. Maybe the haircut will help this awful feeling.

I had a very good day today , but then a call from my T unsettled me abit... been feeling abit odd ever since, it felt like she was almost disappointed that i was happy? or maybe she was just confused considering just a few days ago she practically had to sit their for 2 hours to ensure i didnt hurt myself and today im fine but thats something she will get used too lol, I do have dramatic switchs I always have.

but rest of the day was good, my mate and I tried out the facebook video chat, was awesome I was doing some work with her video screen in the corner, I felt like I was in the future lol!

Big football game tonight. Cross-town rivals. Should be great fun and a welcomed distraction.

I'll be grading essays all weekend as grades are due Monday. Yuck. Not my idea of a good way to spend the weekend.

welcome back granite1. glad to hear you had a good time. i am going on vacation in 8 days. my daugther is having my first grandchild. will be gone at least 2 weeks, maybe three. i put in an open ended leave slip at work, dont have to be back till nov 2. not sure how i feel about taking so much time off. never did this before. there has been a big commotion at work about leave/sick time accumulating and my boss singled me out about never taking vacation, so instead of a day or two here and there im wiping out my leave.

still obsessing over my T/pdoc issue. decided i do have to talk to T about it but i am scared to do so so i am going to leave a voicemail. i can do that. i cant go on with this trapped in the middle feeling any longer. i go to bed obsessing about it, wake up thinking about it, its all i ever write about here, i gotta do something about it. why cant t just be ok with it?

well i wish every body well. hugs to all.
Thanks for this!

I ticked a couple small things off my to-do list today. Saw a little sunshine...

On TV at the moment though, the storylines in a couple of the soap-operas are about SI and attempted suicide, which have made for awkward viewing... I feel like I can't watch them with my family, and think that my family are going to think of me when they see them. I'm nervous about the way these things are portrayed on TV, and peoples perceptions...

Oh well, only 1 week until therapy now It'll be nice to get back into some kind of routine with that I think.

Welcome back, granite.

I've been getting around with just my knee brace today. Not too much hobbling, still can only take stairs one at a time. But major improvement! Work was really stressful today. OK work has been really stressful for the last couple of months. Pure chaos would be a good description. I didn't feel like I was totally there at work today. Might go out with some friends tonight, that would be nice.
Thanks for this!

I just cried my way through a voicemail to T. I wrote out everything i wanted to tell him about the conflictual situation with he and pdoc and what it was doing to me. I am seeing him next thursday and knew it would be hard to talk about as i avoided it on tuesday but i cant stop obsessing about it. so i told him in the voicemail i was obsessing and i started crying and then i just read to him what i wrote and told him we could talk about it thrusday. i feel much better now having got that out to him. i hope i can let it go now.

hugs to all

Woohoo! We won our football game in overtime. What a nail biter! Our team hasn't lost a game this season so far. Very, very exciting for the community and especially for the kids. The band's show is coming along seemingly very slowly. It always seems like there is no way they will be ready for contests, but they always pull it together. Their music this year is crazy difficult. They march to classical music and actually sound like they are doing a stage performance rather than marching and playing on a field at the same time. They completely blow me away. (Marching band is huge in Texas if you hadn't gathered that already.)

Going to the game was a wonderful distraction from my usual worries. Now to get through the rest of the weekend.

great news wepow! keep up the good work!

i just maxed out a credit card. been working so hard to pay them. havent charged anything since may and that was a rental car when i went to see my daughter. i only bought one thing that i needed, a battery for my laptop. i bought a pair of pants, some tops, baby clothes for my soon to be grandchild. my daughter said she only had one outfit in newborn size so i felt the need to get her more.

the cops are out front. the neighbors were yelling a few minutes ago. one neighbor is constantly playing loud music. it has been going on forever. another was yelling for him to turn it down. so i guess he was serious about getting him to shut it down. it hasnt bothered me much. he doesnt do it too late. there is another neighbor close by that plays the acoustic guitar and sings at night. i rather enjoy listening to that.

i hope everybody is having a good day.

I feel quite 'normal' today, in control... better than I've felt in a while. But, I still have no energy. I think my meds still need some adjustment.
If I can just maintain this level of control though, it'll be easier to put my old mask back on. Perhaps I'll be able to function well enough to hold down a job again.
