"Just tired and sore but doing better today."

Guess What? Mood
Saturday, October 4, 2008 | A Breaking News story
Guess what we got a check in the mail it was 250.00 so we used most of to get our check book in the red. What was left over we got medicine for Josh. We also have to pick up shampoo and conditioner.  We use a special kind that last a month. Their is not much left but it is the fact that God sent it to us when we needed it. I am still a little depressed but I am doing better then I was. I had some really good friends give me some great comments on my journal and gave me hugs. I have made a lot of good friends on here. I just wish they were closer. Oh well God willing I will also make some more friends off line. I didn't sleep very well last night. I woke up at 1:30am and then ended up staying up until 8:30 am. Then I slept for three hours. So I am not moving that fast and I am a little out of it. I was hoping to do something with a friend of mine today but I am just not up for it. Maybe things worked out for the best. An online friend from Ds suggested I try Saint Johns Wart. I have tried it in the past but I worry it will counter react with my other medications. I am on two antidepresants but maybe they are not cutting it. But then again I can't count on medications to solve all my problems. I have to learn to deal with it on my own. I came of looking like an idiot at my aquatic therapy. It took me along time to do the exercises and then to learn them. I think it is just the "fibro fog" and my hearing and sometimes because of all my health problems it takes me a little bit of time to process stuff. Plus I was a little nervous. I still get to caught up in what other peoplel think but I am getting better. I am supposed to do an airborne party sometime but I don't know enough people.

    I get the part about being too concerned about what other people think and I realized the other day that they just aren't worth it!

    Don't worry so much about what other people are thinking. They are just people with their own problems and probably wondering what you are thinking about them.
    I was doing aqua therapy never learned to keep up with everyone else so I just did my own thing. Some laughed but I was getting exercise and felt better about it. Just keep it up and you'll see results.

    I'm so glad that you got that check! Even if it only helps some, it's better than nothing, right? I have heard that bipolar patients should only take St. John's Wort under a doctor's care, because it can destabilize your mood and make you manic, so you might think about that. Good luck with the aqua therapy, it's great that you've started it, and like others have said, don't worry about what anyone thinks. I am totally uncoordinated, and I used to feel like an idiot exercising around other people, but then I realized (like andrews said) that in general people are preoccupied with their own stuff, and just as self-conscious about what you may be thinking about them.
