Cant get up

I was getting up before my set back I had with my meds. The meetings I go to are downtown at Noon. I need to get back on track. I dont like laying there half the day and trying to sleep for the rest of my life. I want to have a life. Its the meds that are making this worse and helping at the same time. Its hard to have a job and sleep all day and I hope to have one again soon.

Cant get up

My roommate will get me up if I want him too, Its just a lot earlier than I need to be up, but maybe it would be good.

Food for thought

I was just kidding, I knew that would happen. I was only kidding because I hadnt seen Ashley's replies today. I think she is the best by the way.

Still struggling

Could I be having an extra hard time with everything because I quit SMOKING 62 days ago? Could it be why im struggling? Oh boy.

Still struggling

I know the pros and cons, I just dont know if the timing was bad as far as having some sort of relief to my struggles. Im glad I quit, I just dont know if its making things harder or not.

I will never know, I just have to deal with it. Like I have to deal with the roommate that looks over my shoulder while im on here all the time. Its getting annoying, of course he denies it. But then asks what it is Im doing. He sounds like a dog when he eats too, so annoying. at least I have manners!

What I did

I just talked to my wife and I mentioned my son hating me, she said its because of what I did. Why doesnt it matter I didnt mean to hurt them, have depression, bipolar, panic attacks or drink because of it. I fell apart and Im hated for it. I wish I knew how to fix his pain.

Fear

I cant figure this out. Are the FEAR feelings you get part of depression?

Still way down

I just cant seem to get back to where I was before my set back. Its going on for a long time. Still hard to get out of bed. I still feel like I wish I could just sleep for the rest of my life.

I have things started in my life as far as going back to work etc. but I still feel the hopeless stuff going on.

My anxiety is back up there, so I started walking when I do go somewhere. I went out yesterday fot the first time in a week! I was going everyday. I feel so tired, and just cant get back with it.

Still way down

Im so bad a journaling, Ive started in the past and it doesnt last, plus I typ slow. Yesterday was ok, went to a noon meeting, had lunch with some of the guys from the meeting, then went to dinner and a Chapel service. Anxiety was bad all day. Tonight I have training with my financial services co. and a conference call at 9:30. In the morning I meet with the people Im doing career placement with for the next phase of  aptitute testing. So, I have stuff going on, so I dont understand why I cant feel happy or excited or like something good may happen. I just worry a lot, think about my kids. I reallt dont even know my son! That is so hard, I wish I knew how to fix that.            Driving is a huge issue on my mind as well.    Since I have no insurance, I go to a clinic. I see the counselor every three weeks for 30 mins and the Pdoc every three weeks for 15 mins. I answered an ad  on Facebook for clinical trials for depression, bipolar etc. but think I should ask my provider first. She is on vacation till after Christmas so wont see her until  Jan. It really sucks going through this alone.  Im so glad your there today.
