No more suicidal ideation

HapaMommy

After two weeks of suicidal thoughts I am doing better. My mood has been up and the suicidal ideation stopped 3 days ago. My doctor increased my meds and so far I haven't had any side effects. I am happy things are starting to look up. It couldn't have happened at a better time. My husband will be out of town for 10 days and I'll be home alone with the kids. I'm glad things eased up just in time.

Great news, HapaM. A solid med tweak can make a huge diff. Hope you and the kiddos enjoy a safe and happy 10 days of flying solo.

That's good news! As a person who experienced deep depression in spite of using lithium, I've found negative-thought-stopping techniques to be very useful. I wish you continued success!

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
