So...went a little bit manic and went on a massive shopping spree...I am still a bit high but am starting to come back down and reality is hitting...i didnt think it could be this fast...i am still feeling like things are buzzing but at the same time i am depressed which is really unpleasant...what is going on?! I dont know how I'm going to explain this to my cpn when i ring her tomorrow...im pretty sure she thinks there is nothing wrong with me biologically as i am on meds so it must be a behavioural thing. i honestly dont know what is going on. im just looking through all the stuff i bought...exercise equipment to get fit, diet pills and meal shakes to get thin, make up that i thought would make me look sexy (I dont wear make up), bright, sexy clothes (I normally wear black)...the list goes on...how im supposed to pay for it and buy food i dont know...what was i thinking? when i was buying it, it all seemed to make sense, like there was some grand plan the universe had created for it to fit into...now it just all seems a mess. i dont know who to turn to...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I would take the stuff back if you think you can. You just bought it after all. You seem very rational so in my opinion you should just calm down, take a bath (relax somehow) and think about what you can do to make your situation better.
If that is the case I will choose to be high like I was most of the time back then!!!!
The meds don't stop them all, but they do make them less frequent and less severe.
Your Dr. should know that.
