Today I'm doing fine thankfully. And I haven't felt sad over the past week or so. I've been avoiding things that set me off and I'm eating healthy. Drinking plenty of water and not drinking so much soda which is a problem for me. Anytime I drink soda, my moods flare up. Especially if I drink too much. The only thing that's getting to me is the allergies and I plan on drinking some tea today to relieve the pressure in my head.

ok, this is soooo not cool

I keep going back and forth between constipation and diarrhea. I was constipated because I didn't go to the bathroom for 5 days, and I finally went today and it all ended up being diarrhea... and lots of it (TMI, I know). It makes me nauseous. And the same thing happened last week.

I'm glad I'm working from home today because this diarrhea stuff is annoying. I don't know what causes it, but obviously something unhealthy is going on. I think it's something I'm eating.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome often shows that pattern of constipation and diarrhea.
Do you think you might have IBS?

I have this type of a problem if I do not keep my fiber and water intake the same everyday. If I increase protein (can be constipating), I also increase fruits/veggies.

I omit dairy. If the constipation continues, I add a stool softener. (Not a laxative, unless things have gone on for far too long.)

Just a couple of ideas.

I hope you can find a balance which works for you.

Last night I did sleep at all. I tried to but couldn't so I amused myself on line as I am stuck in hospital without anything fun to do at those hours. Weird thing is, my depression is gone and I am suddenly cheerful. Still confident someone is out to get me but feel like I can defeat them. Hopefully my pdoc wii discharge me tomorrow so I can get back to norma life. I have been in here five days. Life seems peachy all of a sudden.

I think I went a little overboard with shopping the past 2 days. I bought a TON of books and spent quite a bit on music (iTunes and physical CDs) and art supplies. I mean, my bills are paid and everything so I'm okay as far as that goes and I have stuff I need, it was just odd. I felt like I was possessed and being driven to multiple stores a day. I normally have a hard time leaving the house but I left like 4 times yesterday to go to different stores and buy stuff. Then 2 times today. It was almost frantically walking as fast as possible so I could get wherever and spend.

I’m depressed but fighting like h$ll to keep it at bay. I’m meeting my daughter half way tomorrow to have lunch which I’m looking forward to. She was coming to town for the Super Bowl but ended up having to work.

Everybody is getting back to normal in the household so I’ll get back to my workouts, bible study, movie nights and meet ups. Big sigh of relief and gratitude.

I also got good news from my new physical therapist today. The other one was great but so far away...this one is just five minutes from my house. If we work diligently on my hand and it shows no improvement over the next several weeks, I can get that second surgery where they move a tendon from my ring finger to my thumb. It would solve the problems with my hand. Either way it goes is good news for me.

Sending warm wishes and hugs to all.

I’ve been sick since last Monday. Left early Wednesday and took Thursday off of work. My head is soooo congested. My ears hurt and I feel like I’m swimming underwater. However, I do not have an ear infection. So that’s good. Dr recommended I keep taking decongestant.

I feel so fat and lazy today. I overate again and I’ve done no chores in like days. My boyfriend is saying he doesn’t mind helping me with housework but it’s not his house. He doesn’t live here, even with as much time as he spends here. It’s not his responsibility to clean.

I don’t know. I felt ok all day but now I’m a little down. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get out for a walk tomorrow since the weather is supposed to be so much nicer. It’s a short reprieve but a reprieve nonetheless. Glad for it.

I am sorry to hear that, I hope you get out from under all that stress soon. I may have missed some of what is going on, but it seems you have been having a rough time.

Hello everyone and it is Monday again why does the weekend always feel so short. Anyway I like work and going there honestly doesn't feel like work. It's something I truly do enjoy. Granted today was busy and I saw very little of my office since I did have a new nurse to show around and make her feel wanted. Then I had to deal with an argument between providers since they didn't like my idea so I had to smooth ruffled feathers. Plus it seemed like the day of complaints just because people wanted to complain. Busy Monday then again it is Monday so maybe I will have a better week.

Tomorrow I am meeting the Supervisor of the Housekeeping service we use and that is probably going to be a large mess; but my arm is still red and it's been a week and I have been on a topical steroid. They poked the dragon and it wants to know why we use such a harmful cleaner; used in really a non public area. So got to do my management duties and make sure it doesn't happen again. I also stopped a got another lock for my office and now only my boss and I have a key for it; so I will not have to worry ever again about harsh scary chemicals in my office. I know that sounds ridiculous but this I know for a fact will not happen again.

M and I are still really good we hung out after work and then when I got home I took a shower and did my night routine; I love my dress clothes but I don't think anything beats the comfort of a legging.

I am sorry to all of those who are suffering. You get extra hugs.

Hugs to everyone

I had an attack of anxiety this morning when my dog's grooming confirmation email came thru for Thursday. I'm anxious because it is a new place and it tends to be an ordeal as i don't have a car and have to figure out how to get my dog there and back. Sometimes cab drivers are grouchy.

On the upside, the anxiety made me more active, with a shower, tidying up and two loads of laundry. The worst of the anxiety passed in about an hour and i just feel a little keyed-up now. I hate having appointments because i get bad anticipatory anxiety. I just keep telling myself that everything is alright.

I hope i can sleep it off.

Eventful day! Day off from work, but I have my mother coming up to visit after class and have to call my psych NP about rescheduling my appointment. Hopefully (shot in the dark), he'll have something today or early tomorrow. We have some important stuff to chat about.

Thought it was Sunday when I woke. Then when I was up I thought it’s monday. Now I realize it’s tueday but it didn’t make sense. Sleep sucks. I’m really tired and have dozed off already after eating. I can’t even explain the impact bad sleep has on me to those IRL. I know you all understand it’s importance for those with BP. My thoughts start going black. I keep telling myself they’re not real. Just intrusive thoughts. I’ll feel better as the day wears on. Thanks for listening to me gripe.

I'm devastated about how yesterday turned out trying to get my dad help. Devastated! I'm afraid I'm not up to providing details all but to state the fact that there is not adequate help for people in crisis for addictions and psychiatric issues in my state. The bureaucracy is too extreme. I want people to know that it's not this bad at all in some other countries in the world.

Ugh I'm having a really low day today.

I'm trying to distract myself with working on my book and stuff but the low mood keeps creeping in. Maybe part of it is situational because I'm feeling really alone today too.

Come to think of it, I was feeling pretty bad during the night too. Really lonely. While I was trying to sleep.

It's so odd because I live with my wife and son but I feel so alone.

Hugs to everyone that's struggling.

Getting better.
Today, I decided to follow the doc's instructions, sort of.
At least, I didn't go out. And laid down a couple of times with the pea bag.

I'm so scare of not being able to drive, that I drove the same day of the op.
Hidden from La Bruja, of course.
I hope the day they ask for my car keys never comes. I hope to die before.
Not driving to me is like sitting in a wheelchair. Sort of.

Nevertheless, life goes on normally inside the house.
I'm betting in the auctions, as usual, paying what I can, and being optimistic.
I'm also playing Candy Crush. Not too much acumen necessary.
Poker is a different story. Tomorrow.

Be Safe and Happy!!!!.

Cheers.+

I didn`t get up to too much today. I was supposed to go to the mall today but I ended up staying home but I did run a few errands later. I cleaned my turtle`s tank and finished cleaning the bathroom. Later my Mom drove me to pick up my meds at the pharmacy and I went to the 99 cent store. I think this new med I`m taking is making me tired. Hugs to all that are struggling right now.

Tough day today. Hard to describe. I feel depressed but more like a numb depression than anything. I feel utterly mentally exhausted, like I was swimming with weights on today. Treading water with weights around my neck, as LTJ would say. I don’t know. I guess it could be from being physically ill for so long. My ears have not improved even with taking the decongestant so that could be getting me down. I don’t know. All I know is I can’t taje any time off work so I better get my *** up in the morning and get there.

I just want to not be me for awhile. I don’t want to die, I just want to be normal and not have these spells of low mood. Of course this is only a couple of days and I could wake up tomorrow and he fine but I’m just getting tired of it. I just want to be well for real. Forever. I don’t want to struggle with this **** anymore.
