I'm sick of me. I never know how I will feel when I wake up in the morning. I could be sad, frustrated, tired because I didn't sleep well or any combination of these and/or any other emotion. I'm sick of it! Why can't I find some stability? I have a few days of feeling ok followed by a few days of feeling like shit. My mood even changes during a day. I have to admit that my pdoc is trying and my therapist is helpful but its so fucking frustrating being so emotional. Just needed to vent a bit, thanks for reading.

That's how I lived my life before I was diagnosed. Lithium stopped it all. Now that I'm older it seems to be starting up again. I think we both need a med change or new dosage. Tell you pdoc!!! It shouldn't be this bad. I'm seeing mine tomorrow and I'm going to discuss it with him. Today I'm feeling very sad....for all of humanity. drats.

Pagan, that sounds like me! I'm very sorry, and it sux. Lamictal didn't 'stop' stop that, but it's steadied me. Big hugs sweetie.

I've been there....up and down for years, not knowing what would come next and could never make plans. I've made lots of breakthroughs, but I tend to get this way all over again whenever STRESS hits me again. So I have not achieved inner peace just yet. But I'm trying to!!

Yes it is until we find the right combo if you take meds it can be really sucky. Once you find what works you start to feel better. I hope this helps you. You be gentle with yourself and take really good care of yourself. Hugs.

    Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though.  I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

    Quick, before the evil MONday gets here!  Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That.  Sadly.  But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top.  I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
