Hi Donna,

Catherine here. I lurk now and then, but I don't post much.... I never quite feel like I have anything to say that anyone would be interested in, but here goes anyway...

I am doing ok. Still got the blahs, mixed up with some anxiety. It's been a looooong time now since I've felt any different, and I lay awake at night a lot hoping for an upswing... will I never cycle again? I know cycling is bad, but sheesh... I would love a little hypomania now and then just to make life interesting. Been doing a lot of reading on BP and some on weight loss (hoping to someday get my weight under control). I work full time at a job that bores me to death, but I can't really leave since there aren't too many good jobs in my town. I just wish I could find something that would perk me up... I'm mostly depressed about being depressed if that makes any sense...

BTW, congrats on being a cl.

Catherine,


Please don't feel you have to have anything "special" to say to be of interest to post--if that were the case I could go for weeks not posting.

On Monday, I will have been fairly stable for a month. It is great. I hope it lasts. I get down on some times, but have changed when I take my a/d and it is helping with the appetite and depressed feelings. Sorry to hear so many of you are not doing well right now. I know how lucky I am. Plus, we are very busy with back to school things. I have my nursing orientation on Monday night and the boys are now registered, have thier supplies and are ready to go, minus haircuts I still need to get them. They start on the 23rd. Football has already started each night for my 10 year old too.

Hugs to those who need it.

Missy

Hi Donna.

I'm a lurker. I've been doing well, but I haven't been on lamictal for a couple weeks so I hope that doesn't change. I have been having a harder time sleeping, but emotions have been okay. I do have a refill of Lamictal on the way. I just forgot to reorder in time and I get it through the mail for free. (Patient Assistance Program)

My concern is what to do about therapy now that I have been expelled from Brigham Young University due to poor grades. See, I was covered under their student health plan and so could see their psychiatrist as often as needed for $10 and 'my' psychologist for free. It was wonderful. Now I have no insurance. I don't have a job so no employee benefits. Fortunately, I was just about talked out with the tdoc anyway, so that's alright. But I need to have presriptions written.

I started a medical assisting course at a nearby tech school. It's only been two weeks, but I'm liking it a lot. Back in high school I was a great student but in college I struggled tons. This new school takes work, but I feel like I can succeed if I put in the effort.

Nice to 'meet' you Donna.
