keep up.


I'm going to set a new goal of checking every day, maybe even twice because I know that even once a day there is a lot of posting going on. I think it's great that there is such activity on the board compared to my other boards!


I'm doing okay. I actually had a good day. I finally was able to rate my mood a 5. I hope it stays but I keep telling myself to stop waiting for the other shoe to drop and just enjoy the moment. Even with a few things that should have got me down, I didn't let them bother me. I used my CBT and DBT skills to avoid them or reframe them.


Sorry that I'm not going to read all the posts that I missed but I will be starting from here on to check it a lot more regularly.

hey amanda love! i missed you!! i go to your boards though to check you on pretty much every day or so...you don't say much there though!!! i'm glad to see you're okay. i'm so so...but i'll be fine. still tryin to get my depression under more control...have to see pdoc on monday or the next week, i think...need to increase my wellbutrin. off lithium, couldn't tolerate it...back on trileptal. so far, so good, but its only been 2 days. no manics...they got them TOO under control and i'm just stuck on the down side a little too much for my liking. but hopefully, with an increase of the wellbutrin, we can get it back to level. i hope. i hate the down more than anything. the agitation is pretty much gone too...so that's good. i don't even know how to rate my moods anymore...yesterday was probably a 5, but today is more like 3. sucks. oh well, onward...

come post when you can, but know i love you and i'll keep checkin on you over there too!

I don't post much about me on my boards because I'm the leader I don't want to be the one asking for help, plus I really

18 new messages today, so that's much more managable. I hope I can keep up the habit of checking the board more often.


As far as my BP goes, I'm not doing too bad. My mood has been a 5 (out of 10) which is amazing considering how I've been feeling for what seems like forever.


The lamictal seems to finally have kicked in and is working on the depression. I still think we're going to increase it again at my next appointmet because I'm not quite "there" yet.


I've been tryinng to be productive and get my school work done and go to classes, but it's been pretty hard for me lately. But I'm doing it, and that helps my mood too.
