Just checking in. I feel selfish talking about myself, though. Does anybody else feel that way in posts? j/w. Things have been weird lately. I recently upped my Celexa from 20 mg daily to 40 mg daily and it's been helping a lot! And I started 1 mg of Risperdal once a day. But it's not helping and the sleeping side affect is really bad. The other day I slept almost 17 hours and I was STILL tired! Grrr. So I'm going off of that tomorrow. I see my tdoc (initial) 7 Mar and my pdoc (initial) 14 Mar.


My kids are driving me crazy. Today DH and I rearranged the whole house to accomodate them and (hopefully) ease some of my stress. We're military and we live in on-base housing. It's new, only about 1 1/2 years old, but it's got really small rooms; it's hard to decorate that way. But we turned the former living room into a playroom, the former computer area into the living room, and the former master bedroom (it's a 3 bedroom) into a rec room/computer room. The boys are sharing a room and we've moved into their fairly large old bedroom. The master bedroom and our current bedroom are about the same size, but no attached bath. Oh well. No biggie. There's one right outside the door. (I don't usually have to pee that bad anyway. lol) Okay. Lots of hard work, but worth it. Already makes a good difference!


I've had lots of problems with psychotic features lately and anxiety. Close to social phobia. At least my kids are young enough (2 1/2 and 5 months) that it's not an issue to be going out all the time. I stay at home almost all the time, only going out once a week, if I'm lucky (or unlucky, at this point). We don't have any money, anyway. I had to write a bad check at the commissary just to get meat and milk and baby food. Sad, but true for now. I'm not stressing it, actually, surprisingly!, because I know it'll be fixed in 3 days. Nothing I can do about it yet. Good thing about the military...paydays like clockwork. True, the pay kinda sucks, but I'm not complaining...it pays (most of) the bills. :)


I wish Keli all the best. I'm excited for her she gets out tomorrow and I hope she does well once she's back home. You all are SUCH a great support system - we're all lucky to have each other. I was catching up on my posts today and it hit me how strong we all are. All of us. Seriously. We're stronger than you probably think. We handle things every single day, sometimes many times a day, that most "normal" people would kill themselves about. But we don't. We hang on and keep on with our lives. True, because we have to, but we still manage to do it - with more grace (and grit) than most other people would be able to do. If a "normal" person had ONE day in our shoes, they'd be whimpering like a baby and asking to have it taken back. Maybe we do the same thing, but then we get up and keep going with our lives. Wow! You all are really special and very strong! Please don't forget that, especially in what feels like a weak moment.


Love you all! I'll try to keep in better touch now, but I'll be around.

Take care!
