i think for some reason, mondays are hard for everyone. i know even though i don't have a job but just housework, which is worse on mondays too. i hate mondays and i drag myself to get things done. sometimes i will have a lull in the afternoon that brings me back to reality. i am disabled from an accident and don't know how long i will have before i get alheimers or parkinsons too. my dc told me i have carpell tunnell from playing the piano too. that is my only escape is playing the piano, now i can't do that, i don't know how i'll survive without it.

Had a crazy day today. Anyway, long story short my medications are being adjusted. I'm having trouble focusing today on schoolwork. I will start fresh tomorrow and see how things go

Blue Bird, I've wondered the same thing about why there's so little activity here. Thanx for mentioning visiting the sz forum; I also wondered if I'd be welcome.

Been having a really rough time with the depression. Don't want to get out of bed most of the time, which is ironic, since I hate actually getting ready to go to sleep at night.

Had a phone interview from a case worker to keep my T as a "single case agreement ". Said things I've only told my T, so it was very difficult but I knew I needed to be honest.

I'm really frustrated. I'm losing motivation for school. I feel so distracted by my own thoughts lately.

Went and got bloodwork done today, hopefully my pdoc will get the results soon so we can adjust my meds and also find out if my thyroid is functioning properly.

I feel fat, but I can't get motivated to eat healthy anymore or exercise. I have a lot of anxiety about everything. The days are running together.

I am paranoid, distracted, anxious, unmotivated. My doctor asked me yesterday if I was depressed. I know I probably looked like a mess. I don't feel depressed but maybe I am, maybe that's where it's headed. When I went to the regular doctor today my hair was sticking every which way but I don't care.

I know I'm just rambling, and I usually don't do this, I'm usually very positive but everybody has hard times I guess.

To make myself happy, I'm getting a new tattoo next Friday, in memory of my cat Jack.

I'm mad at myself for feeling this way. I should be very happy and content.

I usually always have something I'm looking forward too but now I just want to lay in my bed all day.

Maybe you're manic or in a mixed episode? With dramatic changes such as starting uni it can cause mania and/or mixed episodes.

I'm doing okay; my job is good and my family relationships are friendly, mostly. Sometimes the friendliness seems very distant, and this is insulting, but I think they have very busy lives. I get along with my psychologist and I see him tomorrow.

Still struggling. Emailed T and he sent an email back, which helped some. Need to try to remember to call PDoc tomorrow. Don't feel like trying yet another drug or increasing the ones I'm on. Oh, well. Guess I'd better write my doctors initials on my hand so I remember to call him.

Hope things are looking up for y'all.

Talked to my doctor on the phone about my bloodwork results. My thyroid is fine, my Depakote levels were low so it was increased to 750mg a day, my cholesterol is very high which I will have to work on with diet and exercise.

I started catching up on all the schoolwork I got behind on this past week, am about 75% through it, just taking a break at the moment.

Nothing else going on really, Tuesday I get my shot, then Friday I may be getting a new tattoo, then on Sunday we're having pizza with the Super Bowl.

I can try to post here more. I hang out in the sz forum a lot because there's more people but if you all want to get together and make this forum active I say let's do it!

Ok, I had a sza moment. .i was starting a walk in my complex and my neighbor drove up. We usually chit chat. I said to him in a very distinct and emphatic way "I am taking a walk!" Then I felt like an idiot, but he said "oh ok." I thought as I walked, how can I explain to him that it's my brain disorder that makes me so stupid when I say things that are so anti-social like that? I went up to him later and said I hope you can forgive me for being an idiot and he said "honey I don't judge you at all. & I thanked him he said I look into your soul and I see the real you and I would die for you just as I would for my dog here." He has PTSD from Vietnam.

worthit, "a sza moment" is golden. Someone should start a thread where we can all post our sza moments! I think it would be cathartic. What do you all think?

Talked to PDoc this evening. He increased the Welbutrin & my D3. Hopefully that'll help. I did get a lot done today, at least by my standards.

Good morning! Slept really good last night, slept straight through the night without waking up a bunch of times.

Have a few things from school to do, watch presentations/lectures and take notes, then I'm done with my work for this week and just need to study tomorrow.

Today is the first day of eating healthier.

Good morning everyone!

I'm doing okay I guess, much improved though at this point it's not saying much. I'm still really depressed but I don't feel quite as mixed as I did so that's good. When I'm mixed I'm so reckless.

No psychotic symptoms today. I guess that's the good news. Ugh, I hate my life right now.
