I haven't been feeling very well. I'm starting to get depressed and don't know why. I guess this is the way Bipolars are. I was taking 15mg of Abilify and my doctor changed to 30mg cause she thought I was very active(this is the way I really am when I'm feeling well. Now when she saw me she changed it again to 15mg and prescribed Prozac, I don't k...1 Recommendation7 Comments

Well today I made myself go to the grocery store. I brought my son with me. Anyways, it was all I could do to not cry. The pain gets worse the more I walk( thank goodness it's only 1 foot). Anyways, I kept myself togther but I feel like I shouldn't do it anymore but the thought of adding another chore to my husbands list is bothering me. The minimums I gave myself ...1 Recommendation6 Comments

Once again I'm having trouble sleeping. I'm having a very deep, burning sensation in my upper abdomen. I also feel bloated. I've completely given up soda of any kind, so that wouldn't be it. I'm also thinking of my Mom, and I'm sitting right near where her room used to be, so it does make me very sad. I have to keep remembering that she's in a much better place now. Sh...1 Recommendation6 Comments

I've had a bad memory for quite a while, but it's frustrating to see that it's not getting better, but possibly worse. My usual bad/awful morning fatigue and pain, but I manage as I usually do to leave the house for work at 7:30...a few blocks away I realized that I didn't bring my cell phone, so I drove back home. I searched all over and couldn't find it. I s...1 Recommendation6 Comments

Once again I'm moving, and the stress of packing is taking a lot out of me. It's exciting however to have a new beginning. Leaving the place where my mom died is uplifting. I know her spirit will be with me no matter where I go, so this brings me a lot of comfort.
You never really think about how many possessions you have until you're moving. I have so many beautiful Angel statues th...1 Recommendation10 Comments -
