Olivia,

I truly understand what you are going through, I am almost there myself. The only thing I can offer you is my support and understanding, I know  that helps me when I am in a bad place. I do hope things get better for you soon.

Hi Olivia,

 

Gosh, I'm glad I finally saw your post! I somehow missed it earlier. Anyway I know things must really be tough on you right now since you said you have considered going to the hospital a few times. I'm so sorry to hear that!

(((((Big Warm Bear Hug for you)))))

 

I hope you are able to get into seeing your new therapist asap and that you two click well together. Do you think that in-between waiting for your scheduled appt. with your new therapist that maybe you could call the other doctor that was helping you get everything organized that you felt really comfortable with as a support call?  Just a thought because I know you really clicked with him.

 

Also, maybe you can try to call your best friend and ask her to chat or come over to just help you get your mind off of things? Ask her to think of something new the two of you can do together.

 

You really do have so much going on right now. I can see how it can be so overwhelming for you. I know it is hard Olivia, but you really do have to try to not focus on everything at one time. Again, I know it is REALLY hard, but we really have to try to focus on what we can do to get through the moments throughout our day when we feel this way.

 

Some thing's I have tried, which may sound dumb, but it really kept me occupied was cleaning out drawers, one at a time, or going through boxes of stuff that I had packed away, like old photographs, and looking at my collection of books and seeing if there was something I liked a long time ago and is worth reading again. Oh and about the drawers, I liked going through the ones I hardly ever used and looking at all the interesting crap I had collected over the years.

 

Or I'd spend some time on the internet doing fun things like going to e-mail card sites and browsing through all the stuff. Oh and the biography channel website, that was always a time filler. If you like to watch music videos go to yahoo entertainment. Anyway you get the idea.

 

Post as much as you need to right now. Somebody is always around or will be checkin in. I'll be around.

 

Take Care Olivia, Keep us posted.

Olivia,

(((Hugs)))

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.  I so know what that's like.  My depression has finally lifted, but it was so long, I thought I would be in the hospital too.

So, 3 weeks left...?  I want to see you get through this school stuff (and this state you're in) too I I know it's taken you some time; it's been a struggle...I hope you do everything you can to try and cope for the next few weeks.  Keep trying to get in to see someone.  Is there anything right now that could make you feel better?  Being around someone?  I'm not sure if you live alone, sometimes that can make things worse...So maybe you can make a point of having someone come over or going to see someone just to hang out, or have a tea with?

Would a chat on HW help?  I'll keep my eye open for you in the chat room over the next few days...?

Hang in there Olivia, it will pass.  It will.

Hello Olivia,

I just got my computer connection back and checked and saw your post.  How are you doing?  I hope that your spirits are up a bit.  You know I know what itis like and Thank God for you I was able to get through my ups and downs.  You know how important and special it made me feel to receive a note from someone that understood, cares and understands. Life is a roller coaster for me right now as well, but you are the one that needs support the most.  You have been here for sooo many people.  You are like a guardian angel.  My best to you and I hope you have a very wonderful Holiday season with peace, love and prosperity.

One question though.  As you stated no one in your family believes in BP.  No one in my family or friends believe in it as well.  Do you think this is a widespread feeling and how can we convince them of this problem.  I just always get "you have always been this way", or "nothing is wrong with you, stop taking the meds".

Hi Olivia,

 

I just wanted to let you know that you were in my thoughts today.  (((Hugs)))

 

I hope you were able to get through yesterday and today a little better.

 

Did anything new happen for you yet?

Appts, trying to do some things? or has it just been so very hard to accomplish any of them?

  Love, Sukay

P.s. I'll be in chat tomorrow if you are able to join in. If not, we will be thinkin of you

Thanks you all for your (((hugs))), concerns and encouragements.

All of you know I was in deep depression for a while.  I was feeling really miserable up till yesterday, but for some reason I woke up and felt better this morning.  I don't know what brought on this change, but I feel good.  Then this evening I went and got acupunture, and I feel even better than I did this morning.  I hope it lasts, it probably will.  My appt with the therapist is not till Monday the 3rd, but I am okay with that now.  I am not dreading the future anymore, even though I knew I could not prevent in from happening.

Thank you again, you have no idea how much your words have lifted me.

Hi Olivia,

So glad to hear that you are feeling better. We all know the ups and downs and can never understand why we are so down for a while and then out of nowhere we get a good day/days.

But hey, just go with the flow. It's so welcomed when we finally bounce back for awhile. I hope it lasts for you. Anyway you have your appt. with your new therapist on Monday. Hope everything goes well with that, as I said before.

What do you get acupuncture for? Did you ever tell me, or have I just forgotten?

Hope we run into each other at chat tonight!  :-)

Oh...and here are more ((((((Hugs)))))) tongue

Olivia,

I am so glad to know you are feeling better.  I know how hard it is to be in such agony--we all do.  I'm glad you have your appt Monday; keep us posted.
