i'm still fighting it...ugh...i do feel better than yesterday, but still feel icky...i was off the lamictal for about 3-4 days, so i know that's part of it...the colder weather is part of it...the car situation is part of it...being broke is part of it...i think the Lamictal thing is most of it...

i'm fighting staying at work today again...i want to go home to take a nap...go to sleep...don't have any motivation to do anything at work...didn't do hardly anything yesterday either...just can't seem to get a grip this week.

i could go home very easily...have plenty of leave time at work...not much going on here...could tell my boss i don't feel good (true) and just go home...but i always feel bad about not feeling good...dunno why.

Hey keli, I feel under the weather too today (or as "under the weather" as someone fighting hypomania ever feels!). I'm glad you're feeling at least a bit better today. About that interruption in your lamictal...I did something similar last week. Stupid, I know. But I'm a bankruptcy attorney and the federal rules were changing and I knew I was going to be inundated with clients for the 2 weeks before the rule changes went into effect so I stopped taking my trileptal and became manic - purposely so I could work really hard and get everything done. Is that sick, or what????? The rules went into effect on Oct 17 so I started taking the tripletal again that day, and after a week it's kicking in. My mind isn't totally at peace, but I'm 100% better than I was last week.

That's screwed up.

Anyway, I'm glad you're a little better today. The crummy weather never helps anything. Hang in there. If you're like me, going home will only make things worse. At least at work I stay focused. At home, I get out the whine and cheese and start the pity party. Love, Mo.

Hey girl!

You know me, if you feel sick, get your butt home!!! I am debating doing the same today, although I have SO much to do. I have felt like crud for a couple days now - REALLY nauseous....no, not pregnant - took a test yesterday and it was negative. I may take another one just to be certain, but don't THINK that is it.

Keep on the uphill fight - you ARE going to beat BP one of these days!!!

I'm in a bit of a mood on top of being sick - Mike and I had a HUGE blow out last night. Barely spoke to each other last night or this morning. He is being REALLY nice now, but I am not ready to let it go.

Talk to you later!
Love
T

I feel the same way...I was thinking it was the lamictal...but I try to fight it.
