I chew gum a lot and drink my stevia sweetened ginger root beers or cream sodas. Love them they are great!

@bizi Thank you my friend for all the info! I am grateful for your telling me about geodon. I will certainly look into it! And thank you so much for your support about quitting smoking! My quit date is Dec. 17th. All I can do is try!

Having a difficult time sleeping. Today I have an appointment but I am going to cancel. I don't have the motivation to leave my house. I'm just not feeling well. I want to hide inside all day.

The good news is that my meds were in, so no chasing involved, and the staff in the pharmacy were friendly and welcoming, greeting me by name. I guess they know me there by now! Being treated like a human being is such a wonderful thing for me.

I'm not doing well. I just had a major blowup at home. So now it's quiet and a little uncomfortable. I don't know how to fix this. My paranoid mind is sick of the abuse, and my normal mind says to apologize.

So sorry to hear that. I hope that things ease for you soon.

I had a panic at lunchtime. Mum had an appointment with the nurse at their GP practice just over the road at 12. Come 10 to 1 she'd not texted me to say that they were home. I didn't know what to do, I felt so powerless and alone and helpless.
But they were fine.

@Stellata, thank you for your kind support! I get that way too, (like you panicked when you didn't know that your mom was home because she didn't text you.) My mind automatically defaults to the "worst case scenario" about everything. For example, if someone doesn't text me right back, they either hate me because I said something in the text that offended them or something terrible happened to them! I call it "catastrophic thinking". I read that somewhere and it seems like it fits. I hope you're feeling at ease now and that you get a restful night's sleep.

**And things did ease up for me! I took a nap and when I woke up I was horrified by what I had done, (all of my meanness fueled by paranoid thoughts spewed at my dear stepmom by me). I almost couldn't bear to go downstairs and have to apologize AGAIN, but something good happened! The nurse for my PsychPA called and said that I could go on Lithium! I had not wanted to go on it before, but now I was desparate and grateful! So I went downstairs and told my stepmom that I was sorry, and that I know she probably didn't want to hear that anymore(because I say it all the time!), but I was taking real steps to get better, that I would be going on Lithium. So things are ok now but it's humiliating to have to apologize for your behavior so often, especially when you're 50 and not 5!

Thanks. Yes, catastrophic thinking... I also see it as intrusive thoughts. Glad I'm not alone in it, but sorry that you endure it too.

Glad things eased up for you, and that you're getting on a new med to help you.

My Mum has a hospital appointment this morning, but at least there's phone signal there and she's texted me once already!

My day was okay. I napped a little too much though, I'm not sure if it was from depression or if I was tired for other reasons. I feel better now though. Hopefully I sleep okay tonight and am not up at night from sleeping in the day.

I'm feeling better after getting some sleep. I had to take two naps. I was really depressed after the first one. Not really sure why. Seems I always get depressed around 4 pm. It really frustrates me. I guess I should always sleep then.

@Deilla, it's good that you know it's usually around 4pm, that way maybe you can figure out what's happening before that time that may be triggering it? DO you know about HALT, to check if you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired? And then to try to do something to alleviate whatever is making you feel that way.

@Return To Sender thanks for reminding me. I haven't thought about that in some time now. Yes, it's a great way to check in with yourself. I need to do that more.

@Deilla Since it's the same time every day it could also be medication-related if you take any meds.

I was a bit grumpy this afternoon but I feel okay now.

@88Butterfly88, yes. It's something to consider. It's when I usually take my night time meds and start winding down for the day. I was talking with my online therapist about it. I think it will help me to continue taking my night time meds then and getting a good nap in. I usually feel better later in the day. Also, once I'm up, I need to find interesting things to do. In the morning, I feel better because I have a pretty good routine going.

@Deilla I'm glad you talked to your therapist about it. I hope you find something that works.

I was a bit grumpy this morning. I had a good afternoon though, I went to the bank and candle & beauty store. I'm about to sit down and plan some things for the coming week which I'm optimistic about.

I started thinking that my late afternoon depression may be SAD related. I'm not diagnosed with SAD but I definitely feel like the lack of sun in the afternoon is getting to me. So I ordered a sun light. It will be here tomorrow. I guess I will do the light therapy in the afternoon. Not sure what else I can do really. Last night I was sad but ended up playing games with a friend. That distraction helped a lot.
