  • Forgot to talk about Mom

    Sunday, May 11, 2008 | An Anxious story

    My mom, who is the most negative person in the world is changing it seems. She is more optimistic. Its exciting. It scares me too. We're having those long conversations on the phone like we used to. Like we're two schoolgirls. Its a weird dynamic. Eventually, she'll try to slip in her two cents about what I should or should not do. She used to get very animated about it, so I stopped ...

    My friend Linda called me yesterday to tell me that her new kitty, Emily, who just turned 2 on May 5, is dying.
    I couldn't believe it!!
    Linda had two wonderful cats, Reggie and Meko.  They were in their mid teens and going strong.
    Last fall, Reggie got really sick and had to be put to sleep.  Then, Meko got sick this spring and had to be put to sleep.  HORRIBLY sad, but in a way y...

    I have been seeing an asthma/allergist for three years now. I was seeing his physician assistant and things were going smoothly. A couple flare-ups a year, but mostly ok. I have been doind allergy shots for two years. Since October 2007 my asthma has been out of control. In March of this year, the big doc decided that I was too out of control for the PA and decided to see me personally. He switch...

  • Funky for a few days

    Thursday, July 10, 2008 | An Anxious story

    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 ...

  • Terrifying

    Friday, January 9, 2009

    Yesterday I had one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.  And am not sure how much of it was due to my stupidity.
    It was either a med reaction (Neurontin not mixing with allergy meds) OR an accidental overdose (me taking 3x 300 mgs on Neurontin on an empty stomach which has been OK the few times I have done it before now -- but people in the DBSA group last night reminded me of the ...

  • Moving and Seperating

    Monday, March 30, 2009 | An Anxious story

     
    I don't know if anyone will read this but I had to share my feelings.
    I just moved to a new town, six hours from old one ... left my mom's house... and will start a new job next week.
    Could I do anything more to change my life in one weekend. 
    You see me and my mom have been through a lot together. She has had six back sugeries and I have been her caregiver for all of them...
