Had a busy weekend. Monday is my day off and I will honor it except for an hour or so of work this afternoon. Since I work at my home computer most of the time it is just too tempting not to get a...
Still having trouble sleeping....
I also have sleep issues. I can get to sleep, but not stay asleep. I was taking sleeping pills but I OD on them now the psych Dr says he doesn't think I should have them. I know my medical Dr. would...
That's right, one day at a time!...
Don't be too anxious to jump back into the fire of bipolar behavior. Take a break....
If it hadn't been for the stupid cat scratching on the bedroom screen, it would have worked!!!!...
It is a good sign that you are posting. Do you have a counselor????...
Watching our children make mistakes is a horrible feeling. But still being in contact will make a difference for both of you if that is possible....
It definitely is NOT you fault. You need the space away from her, but I agree with Cap, stay in contact. She needs to check herself into a hospital....
Gigi You are a great role model!...
If it were me I would still be Dr. shopping....
No dicussion of suicide allowed in the forum. Thank you....
Hang in there! It is good that you have the Dr appointment, Was that yesterday or next week? If it is next week you might want to call and see if they could get you in sooner. Just a suggestion. It...
That sounds like a logical idea. I will try it tonight. Thanks!...
Ok, so no more morning cup of coffee. God bless you Jamie in whatever you need to do today!...
I get some sleep, usually averaging about 6 hours, but they are not consecutive hours. I sometimes wonder if it is just a habit, or if I somehow do something that makes me not sleep. I have been...
Thanks, Jaimee!...
I had my appointment yesterday. Since I am doing better, I don't have to go back for a month and prescriptions stay the same. I am feeling better, though I still have my moments. He said he didn't...
I hope you will consider me a true friend....
UR Welcome...
So sorry you are still sick!...
The clonzepam did help and I got back to sleep....
I was hoping you would feel better today!!!...
Thanks! I will definitely try to get it back. I have some clonzepam. I am going to take one of those now and see if it helps....
Not sure about that. I can check. I could also let my husband dole it out to me daily. I hate being so weak....
For some reason I can't make my font bigger! Oh, well. I am so tired of waking up at 3 Am and having an anxiety attack and having to get up! I am going to ask the Psch this week to give me Ambien...
So glad you are better emotionally Jamie, and hoping this virus or what ever is gone soon! I had a too busy weekend but it went better than I expected. My only problem is sleep. I am up at 3 AM...
I have had cases of becoming angry "in appropriately". That happened once and now I am always afraid it will happen again. I go to counseling and it is helping but I still get very very anxious when...
When do you see your counselor again???...
Jaimee: Hope you are feeling better tomorrow!...
I have a meeting tonight that is promising to be very stressful. Talking about budget for 2012. I just want to be able to handle this without a bipolar incident....
Hope you are doing better, Jaimee!...
Just wondering if you are getting any time to take care of YOU???? Being a care giver is overwhelming and I do hope you may have a counselor of your own who can help you in this stress....
Thanks, Jaimee: I had a hard morning and got a headache. so I cancelled an appointment this afternoon and am going to hopefully take a nap. Have another hard meeting this evening...
Glad she is coming home today. Hope she is feeling much better....
The hospital saves my life, she is in a good place....
thanks Jade...
I am sure that my husband could echo many of your posts. I stay on my medicine, and have a therapist but slip into the disease very often. yesterday was a bad day and I need to tell my husband I am...
Your husband is making his own bad choices. I know it makes you afraid, but carrying the pill to him with a glass of water is very co dependent. I don't think that is a good idea, and will probably...
Yesterday, I was doing fine, until I started allowing negative talk in my own head to make me depressed. I began thinking people were "out to get me" because of something I had not done. I began to...
I am also just starting on 2mg. Looking forward to being more focused!!!!!...
I appreciate that....
Hope you keep posting! This is a good place....
Jaimee: Good job!...
Abilify seems to be working OK for me so far, just been a few weeks....
I hope she has a good support system and a good therapist....
These groups are really helping me! Thanks!!!!...
Thanks you two!...
Well, folks, I'm instigating something unusual for me. I have scheduled a meeting with a lady who threw me a curve ball on Wed. It can go bad, or it can go ok. I am just hoping I can keep my on...
Thanks, Jaimee...
