last week wasn't good for me. I screamed at some idiot on the road. Then Friday my boss gives me an attitude for breaking a rule that I was never told. She said she told me. She didnt. Now I'm still in limbo not knowing if I'm in trouble or not. I have been having dreams about reuniting with a guy I used to be with. It ended really badly for us. Then I have had these horrible stomach problems for weeks everyday. Then one day I didn't take my lithium. And I was fine. I've been on this dose a while so it's odd to me that it's causing this now. I'm kinda depressed and kinda not. I'm all alone at home and feel I need to reach out.

You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
FB ?
MOST OF US THAT CHAT ALOT ARE GOING TO OTHER AREAS TO HOOK UP ...
IM ONE WHO HELPS WHEN I SEE SOMEONE IN NEED ...
oops sorry for the caps
Oh and the fact that you're reaching out? Excellent
I remember going to work one time, ready to puke and shit! It wasn't my meds, I thought I was "handling it" but my body showed me I wasn't as good as I thought...
((((BIG HUG)))) You have a lot going on.... stress, pain, loneliness - do vent here, we do understand.... Lithium works on levels - one missed dose - well levels are off my friend : /
I agree with Caz - we're here!
I walk around with these Smart Water bottles, LOL I have half a shelf full in the fridge, my friends laugh! But all that water, keeps the drugs moving out - like its suppose too, flush and take, flush and take.
I know most people hate meds, but heart attack you'd take it, cancer we take, diabetes we take it, rabies - we say, shove it in my belly! LOL I treat them like vitamins take and forget - LOL, ok - to the best of my ability - hate taking them, but hate fighting pdoc MORE for them : )
(((((BIG HUG))))))
I'm with "Gina" on the meds things...yup hate em but I hate the results of not taking them so much more!
Glad your here!
((((HUGS))))) C'mon back promise?
I might be right or wrong, but thinking about it - can't hurt! : ) So, take what you like, and please don't get pissed at the rest! "the other side of the coin, theories"
1. One year on Lithuim, now your dydrating and "stomach Problems" this can happen, you need to drink a lot of water - the stomach, stress sounds more likely than "new side effect" plus dyhdrations leads to headaches, stomach, tired - always being thirsty is not dyhydrated, other symptions cause these "side effects" Could you just WANT off the Lithium? Summer, the year mark, life sucks let's fuck with meds? Oy, just a tought..
2. I did well on Lithium for 10 years, deprakote for 6 years, now serquoel XL for 4 years - if I have to change, shit why not try one of those again, OR there are MANY STABLIZERS - have you asked you pdoc to change?
3. Your alone, work is stressful - you don't feel good, sickly, stomach - yuck... Why wouldn't you feel bad? Ok, we can call it depression - but why wouldn't you? Do you want special powers, that when Work sucks and you have the flu - smile and go to a movie? LOL If you're lonely and life sucks - being upset, sick and tired - is not a mental breakdown or shift...
Sounds like a bad week or day - do try different things, like mulling over what's up - what can you control, and what you have to let goooooooooooooooooo... Stress sucks, stomach problems suck...
That being said - ((((BIG HUG)))) I wish you peace and comfort, healthy and a GOOD DAY : ) As Soon As Possible.....
