I have been in a real funk for a few days. My doctor changed my prozac to 40mg from 20mg and I don't think it helped at all. I feel like a failure and dispair is like a coat I'm wearing. I owned a business two years ago and we closed when my husband and I both got sick. We owe some people money and legal stuff happened. I beat myself up way to much. Bipolars ...1 Recommendation2 Comments

It seems I had a close call while on vacation. I picked up my mail that was being held yesterday and noticed I had some of my neighbor's mail. When I took it to them, they asked if I had been contacted by the police. A couple of guys tried to get into my house Monday. My neighbors saw them and called police. The guys jumped the back fence, but were caught. ...1 Recommendation4 Comments

I am getting anxious about this appointment tomorrow. I read more on Addison's disease and didn't like what I read so now the best thing for me to do is find an endicronoligst. I am supposed to have a needle on me at all times in case of stress (any health problems that would affect the Adrenals) because I could go into a grave form of Addison's which could kill me.&...1 Recommendation3 Comments

There's 2 more weeks to go in training. It will be getting intense. Especially this week. There'll be more practice and, hopefully, more revue. We go on the phones on the 5th week. I need all the pratice I can get. It's not the talking. It's the sequences, steps, of the call. Going to all the pages that are needed to solve the proble...1 Recommendation1 Comment

Transition is over. The culmination of 7 weeks of classroom and on the job training. I enter the real world Monday. It's been a long journey. Full of sorrow, frustration, terror, fear, and joy. Transition is a 2 week period of on the job training where we have close support from trainers on a five to one ratio. The real world will have a 25 to 1 ratio. ...1 Recommendation3 Comments

Got a scare yesterday. I had trouble breathing. Had had problems all week with coughing, runny nose and congestion. Figured it was allergies that come around this time of year and the crazy weather we've been having going from 85 to 60 for high temperatures. I woke up Friday with not much of a voice. Actually sounded like "Froggy" from the old Buster Br...1 Recommendation1 Comment
