Make Me Want To. Please.

Be with my kids, get out of the house, do things around the house, complete projects, take better care of myself, stop isolating.

I want to get a part time job....not just for the money. I NEED something that I HAVE to do. I need something that will take up my schedule so that it's not just another day of laying around wondering what I'm going to do and getting nothing done.

I'm sick and tired of living this way. I know I don't have a "normal" life, but I really feel like I need to do something "normal".

Any suggestions?

Make sure and join a support group maybe through NAMI :) That is the only suggestion I have and I go through this too. I literally have not cooked or cleaned in months or worked in years. I had to and still am trying to accept this illness can do this and trying to get back to so called normal right now is so hard and a huge adjustment. I still am not normal yet but just coming out of the depression is great. Just take it slow :)

Hanna sighh....
I maybe should not share this here. but I will for you.
I am on lamictal and buspar. I stay on a lower dose than I probably should. I cannot live in that numb area that some beepers can..
I do create alot of drama in my life.. Jeeze I have the ex wives to prove it. But at least I can feel the warmth of the sun on my face and then want to go do something outside.
I like driving fast. Working out. Sex..
If I was medicated any more I would be just a zombie.
