Hello everyone-

Battling w/o seroquel, so mean I can't stand myself. Will have script on fri!

Katie and I saw the psychologist mon-kind of goofy, geky but nice, and great universities.. he dx'd ADHD and depression (low level)...He said right meds and about 6 sessions to teach her some positive coping skills...he said she is honest and intact, Daddy is main stressor, but I's sure I fit in there too. So not bad news...her grades are really good, considering she's adhd, so I'm really proud of her, it cannot be easy to get A's when you cannot focus.

She is keeping temper in check, I think all of us are trying a little harder... so like most hard things in life, some good will come out of it. Have not seen psch for meds...want to start soon, those darn anti-d's take soo long. Gotta go-one thing I read is a consistent schedule and regular meals are important(neither of which is happening in this house-lol...will be back in a little bit

Thanks for the prayers and comfort, you guys are the best!!!

Good for you guys. Glad her depression level is low. You are doing a great job with Katie. Glad you will get your medicine on Fri. Hang in there until then.

Thanks for the report Maggie, I was curious as to how this was going to pan out. Your daughter is lucky to have such a good and caring mom. You are the greatest. Do hang in there till Friday. Only two more days. Take care, keep posting.

Hugs, Karen

Hi Maggie. I'm glad to hear that things went well with the doctor. I'm glad that your daughter only has low depression. "Low" is probably because of all the support and love that you have given here. And it's a positive thing that you found out about the ADD too.

I hope that you have received your medicine by now and things are going a bit better. Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you.

thanks Cass, how very thoughtful of you.
Yes, I got my seroquel and peace has returned to the valley-lol
Katie and I are seeing psychologist on tues, still have not heard from psychiatrist's office. I'm peeved because I see her struggle with these feelings and those idiots are oblivious sometimes...

Sorry, I am so down on the medical profession right now
Anyway, thanks for the thoughts

I am so glad that peace has returned to the valley. Hope you are feeling better. Yea, I wonder about the medical profession sometimes, I think that they are over worked, see so many people and forget what is important to their clients.

jmho...

Have a great day Maggie,

Hugs, Karen

irene and i walked the dogs around the block, so i am extra stuffed, i have 1 dog, she 2.

It really sounds like you have one heck of a bug Jamie. I hope you can shake it soon. I am glad that your session went well. I hope that it helped you.

Cool that you and Irene walked your dogs. I walked mine today and went shopping. Forgot dog food. lol... Not out but getting there. Went for a visit with a friend for an hour or so. Now getting ready to hit the hay. Got up way too early.

Take care, keep us posted.

Hugs, Karen

Hey jamiee-

just read this post-silly me...am glad u r a little better. My husband almost shaves his head in summer-it is so hot I wish I could-lol.

Don'try to do too much, we don't want a relapse...get some liquids and rest my friend

Katie and I go to doc today...she won't listen to coping skills tape, she said"no one can force me to, you can't force me to change my sleep habits, or force me to eat healthy food" etc. How do you help someone who refuses to change even a little (my husband too)

God I wish I was a drinking woman, I'd go hide in a bottle. Oh well

Take care
Maggie

Hope your session with the dr goes well today. Perhaps if the doctor suggests these things. Sometimes our kids don't think we know what we are talking about. about the bottle, Move over cuz I need to hide in there too.

I rarely drink anymore with the meds, but I wish I could get silly drunk once in awhile-but no, I get crybaby drunk-lol!!
Posted 10/11/2011 2:57 PM (GMT 0)
I can't drink enough to get drunk. One beer is my limit anymore. Maybe one a week. If that. I can feel a half of a beer, but for some reason, I don't get happy drunk, I always feel like I wished I wouldn't of drank. So there is no happy medium for me. I drink less and less all the time. I am glad. I use to do a six pack a day. Everyday... Still didn't get drunk. Had built a tolerance. Oh well, drinking just makes us more depressed anyway.

Hugs, Karen

hang in there guys. going to have an early night, hence i might not see you on the forum.

slow and steady wins the race. luv 2 you all. jamie.

Posted 10/12/2011 10:53 AM (GMT 0)
Yeah, I don't like the taste much. Drank in college but not much since. I do like fruity drinks or those made with icecream. Maybe a little banana rum from jamaica. Probably wouldn't help anyway. I'd just be a crying drunk and who wants that.
Posted 10/12/2011 11:00 AM (GMT 0)
yum. especially iced coffee. i miss it being a diabetic. yeah was a power drinker in my young days. not much now. hang in there my friend. jamie
Posted 10/12/2011 11:22 AM (GMT 0)
Oh, i loved my cocktails-maybe that's why it took me 7 years to get thru college-lol. Did you ever do "drunk dialing'? Call your friends long distance and just blab? Karen, I've turned into a weepy drunk too

Hey jamiee!!! You're still up and stillme too

Good morning!

Maggie

hi ya maggie. hi ya guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! been a busy morning. my neighbour woke me from a blissful sleep around 7.30 this morning. very crook she was. dizziness, vomiting, faint, etc. drove her car into the doctors, she has a bug, alike me, some problems with her ticker, ECG done, vomited getting home, went shopping for her, bits and peices and too her to the chemist. her blood pressure was 168/98. whenever she would look up everything would spin. poor bugger. will check on her later. so, i slept better, took awhile to get to sleep proper, had a solid sleep between 4-7.30, the rest was my usual mish mash. talk later. me still sore and tired. luv 2 you all. jamie

ps will check in on irene later. she has a proper ECG request for tomorrow.

Jamie,

Is this Irene that you are talking about? I hope that she feels better. She is lucky to have you to help her. You are so sweet.

I am glad that you got some sleep. I know you would of liked more, but we take what we can get.

Keep your chin up.

Hugs, Karen
