Talked to my psych nurse

my pdoc had a family emergency...anyway, she is talking to the other pdoc in the office about upping my topamax, which is what i wanted to do...it definitely helped a month ago when i started it, i was cycling hourly...now i'm cycling about 3-4 days...so maybe an increase will help even more...her name is Linda and she knows me by name, syptoms, everything, i love her...its almost funny. They are really good to me.

Anyway, I've been really busy at work, forcing myself to work. I swear my brain will be jello on more topamax, but if it works, i will just have to exercise my brain and MAKE it work. I will NOT give up and i will NOT give in. PERIOD.

I've gained back what weight I lost, maybe due to AF some, maybe due to the junk food I've eaten in the last 2 days, but so what. I'll lose it again, I know how now.

I am SO broke. Part of why I am so unsettled and freaked out lately. But one week til payday and then hopefully I'll beo kay agin. you guys gotta excuse the typos, I can't type...

My dad told me last night he is going to help me get a car. He said he would give me $1000 for a down payment, but it would be a while, he had to sell some of his stocks, he works for Home Depot, and a lot of them are selling some of the their stock right now, its hot apparently. So, probably by the end of Sept, but that was when I was buying anyway. That will really help me out. It was going to kill me otherwise. I was really overwhelmed about it.

Well, I am going to get something to drink. Just wanted to tell you I called my pdoc like I said I would.

Donna, you aren't a freak, and so what that you asked about what board I was on, you were concerned.

Thanks for asking.

k, she called me back...the other pdoc says to go up to 250 of topamax, but wants me to come in tomorrow morning at 8:30...WTF? i don't have the $$ ($25) for a copay and why does he want me to come in anyway??? i'm calling the nurse back now and telling her i can come in, but i can't pay the copay til the 31st (a week away). I just dont' have that kind of money...this is a BAD month.

this is totally on my darn nerves. and i am FAT today.
