It was working, I think

Another thing I just realized is for as long as I can remember, I have always tried to live up to other peoples expectations that I dont know how to live up to my own. I dont know what they are. I dont know how to live life on my own.

Still bad

This turned in to a very bad week with this med thing I tried. Just woke up again, not leaving. I feel so guilty for not doing anything, but at the same time I have no one so Why? 

I hope I feel right again soon, Havnt cried or felt like this for a long time. To make matters worse my wife called last night and that wasnt pleasant. I just cant get with it, just blah. Not even excited about 30 days.

That was STUPID!!!

Still bad

What I meant by stupid was changing meds. I was doing good. So Why change. The crying is just a sudden bout of crying for no reason, like when your depressed. Nothings any different, its just how I perceive things based on my state of mind.

I read back on my posts from when I was on meds and not. Its like night and day, on meds I make sense, dont ramble etc. Past couple days I sound like a lunatic.

Cant get back on track

I just woke up 15 hours after going to bed. I have been so out of it this week, trying to readjust to being back on the Mirtazipine. Im actually a little scared today, since this was a pattern I was in when I was severely depressed. I have no drive right now, everything is achey. I know this gray, gloomey weather isnt helping either. I just want to move on and I feel stuck again.

Cant get back on track

The side effects were the reason I recently weaned off the mirtazipine, I crashed and now I am back on. Im just having a real hard time getting back on track. It just sucks again right now.

My kids

What can I say, I have a son 19 and a daughter 17. Through all my issues with depression, being bipolar, panic attacks and alcohol use, I ruined our relationship. They want nothing to do with me right now. I havnt seen them in almost a year. I miss thim and love them a lot. I used to mean something to them, I used to be there, I used to give them all I could, as they got older I wasnt able to give of myself. I have a relationship issue as well. I was a good dad when they were little and needy, but when they became their own person, I didnt know how to relate. lately im tore up again missing them, when my depression issues are worse, so is everything else. 

This episode of trying to go off meds just made everything so bad. I want to sleep period. I was doing pretty good too. Is anything ever going to be better? I have been dealing with all this for 8 years now. I just want to be somewhat normal. To feel right, get up a have energy and be productive.

My kids

Going off the Mitazipine, not doing well and going back on has been the factor over the past couple weeks that has created a change in the way I have been.

I was feeling pretty good, doing a LOT, being positive and optomistic. Now Im sad, down, feeling hopeless again. I tend to think about whats wrong in this state as opposed to whats right. Although its very little their was a little right. I dont know, I just am plain down, sleeping too much. I hope it gets better soon.

My kids

I just got off the phone with my step daughter. She will talk to me. My son that I love so very much and miss just got his license two weeks ago. I didnt know. He then asked what now? What do I have to look forward to? Work all my life and Die? What else?        Im not there to answer that. It is hard, all I had in my llife was my kids and work. Now I dont have my kids. How do you make pain like this better?

Stuck

I read were not supposed to base things on how we feel and use that as a indicator. But lately its hard. I have just been feeling like things will never get better. Constantly thinking about my kids and wondering when that will ever be better.

I start reading these programs, I am so distracted, cant seem to focus and Im trying to deal with this, the panic, the SSC, the panic away program, Byron katies the work and oter books and things Ive founf online. What should I be doing? Im still out daily to meetings and working out. I'm not doing any one thing fully, I just pick small parts and read. Lately Im lost, not sure if its still the med thing. The doc said it may be 2 to 3 weeks to even out, I just want to move forward, Im not patient. Every little thing is bugging me and now Im really letting the guys I stay with know it. Im becoming agressive towards them. They are annoying and disguisting to live with.

They dont want to talk to me right now. There is a lot of hurt. Their world as well as mine was turned upside down. They are getting along okay, I do know that. My son has a job and is driving now. My daughter is busy with school and cheer. My problem, Im selfish, feeling sorry for myself lately, not in their lives. I hadnt been for a long time. I didnt know how. I have a relationship problem. Im just thinking way to much right now. I do miss and love them a lot. Its hard to talk with my wife as their is a lot of anger. I wish we all could just get along, things happen in life bad and good, so why does it have to create so much hatred? I dont know when I will be starting to work again, its only just the start. But I know when I am I will feel a lot better about things in general. The stuff here, I just have to live with. At least its cheap. Maybe this med thing is just compounding everything. Thanks for being there Ashley
