bp16indy.I've mentioned before that you express yrself real good.Tell the professional people the same kind of stuff.
I used to be too polite to them and I suffered until someone reminded me that they get paid.
So keep on their backs about everything.It's your body and mind that is important.

I just had that recently. A depressed cycle with triggered mania. I was a mess.

I am now on medical leave. Get your blood work done ASAP!

Go as soon as you can. Preferably go Wednesday. Get the help you need and deserve. Besides I've spoken to those off the deep end and they say there is no vacancy.

I hope you're able to get the check and help you need ... I just triggered into a major depression cycle and am experiencing that place where there seems to be no bottom to the hole I sunk myself into ... so many messes I've created ... seems like no way out. Saw Pdoc today, made some adjustments. Scary place. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

    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...
