Hey! I'm checking in :) I'm doing okie... hanging in there. Still living with my in-laws but moving soon.... still looking for a house. DH has a horrible job and not great pay right now but goes for a final interview for a much better job this afternoon. Kids are good but in-laws are trying to brainwash DS into wanting to go to public school since they think he should be there and not homeschooled... nice eh? Oh well, this too shall pass :) Hope you all are doing well!!

Brenda,

HEY YOU! I'm glad you're hanging in there...I'm doing well. Amazingly enough, as I have had some huge stressors the past couple of days...but everything SEEMS to be working out okay. I'm sorry its been so tough living with your in-laws...I've been there done that...and its not easy at all...you're so strong, and so tough...so you just keep keeping on, you hear me??? LOL!

Try to call me this weekend, I SHOULD be home!

Missing you!

xoxo

Traci,

It sounds like you're still smack dab in the middle of a mixed episode to me, hon. The increased libido, anxiety attacks, the rage...classic symptoms. I really hope your pdoc calls, because you need different meds than the ones you're currently taking. I know how bad mixed episodes are and how tough it is when you're alone, and trying to work and raise your kids too. I'm here for you, girl. Just keep talking it out...over and over if you have to...it helps.

This board helped me through so much, and much of it was me SCREAMING, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!!!

Let me know when you finally talk to your pdoc...and from my experience too, you have to keep calling and calling and calling them sometimes...which SUCKS when you're in crisis mode. Hang in there...you're doing great with that...

Love and Hugs,

Keli

Amanda,

That is so awesome that they pay you for ALL WEEK OFF! We state workers in Florida only get the actual DAY off paid. UGH! I'll be here next week and the next too!

Take care!

Love and Hugs,

Hi Keli,

I am ok...still hanging in there with the depression...hoping it will go away soon. Had a hard time sleeping last night...UGH I am going to Billy's this afternoon and will be there for the weekend. His computer is acting up again so if you don't hear from me just know i am ok. Take care and have a relaxing weekend. I know you said this week was long for you...hopefully this weekend will be a good one for you. Hang in there!

Tina~

I'm actually doing pretty good, a little hypomanic maybe, but that's a good thing at this point as I'm actually able to get some stuff done.

Hi everyone.

I guess I'm doing okay considering I'm in a depression. At least I can get out of bed and am going to work as much as it pains me. I'm trying to keep going even though I want to just stay in bed or binge. My exams this week went okay I think. My doctor's appointment yesterday went nowhere and that frustrates me. I'll post more on that later. Gotta go.

It has been about two weeks since I have been feeling better since my change of meds from Effexor to Cymbalta. I had some withdrawl effects, but it went better than expected. I have been telling people who have noticed the major change of personality about my new diagnosis (not people I work with). My parents don't believe it, but they haven't seen my credit card from last month's mania! I see the pdoc on Sunday and we are going to start Lamicital. I hope it goes well! Best to everyone!
