It's Thursday...How R U?

I know a lot of us are having a tough time right now with various issues.
Please check in and tell us your name, where you are from and how you are doing.
I'm Traci in Northern VA and am still fighting this stupid sinus infection. The antibiotics are slow acting. I'm also trying to accept the generosity of dd16's father and really struggling with that. I talked to tdoc about it yesterday and she said that she understood why I felt the way I do and tried to get me to see it from his point of view. She suggested a session next week when she's back in town. I don't know, I can't afford it, but maybe it's time.
Anyway, that's where I'm at today. How is everyone else? Let us know:)
Hugs,
Traci

I'm Missy, from northern Illinois. I am doing OK today. Had worse days but definately had better. Ds was mad at me when he went to school. He is having some attitude problems and I am very worried about him. I don't know whether it is his age, or the separation, or something else or just everything that is bothering him. Honestly, he seems to just be taking advantage of the situation and attempting to walk all over me and that hurts. I also know he is extremely overtired because by idiot H decided he should just let ds stay up however let he felt like it this weekend. Moron. On a good note, middle ds has his preschool graduation tonight and he is very excited about it. Remember when the last day of school was so exciting, LOL. On another good note, my allergies are in better control. I even have some windows open today. Since I have to see H tonight at the graduation and I am worried about it, I will end with one additional good note, it is supposed to be in the 80's and sunny this weekend and I am planning on setting up the kids wading pool and laying in the sun (yes, I know tanning is bad but the sun feels so good on my skin and improves my mood tremedously).
Hope you are all doing well.

I'm ok I guess......I'm sick of my foot/toe hurting already and I was informed last night that its going to take months if not up to a year before I am pain free.
God could not be everywhere, so
Chilaili from Northern Colorado. I just moved here last Summer after 10 years in Minnesota so I'm adjusting to a whole new environment, trying to make new friends, fitting in with a new job, figuring out how to live in Colorado. So far not too bad altho the making new friends thing is going sloooooow. Trying to stay out of debt which is hard as my first job here paid very little and the area is very expensive, so I'm still recovering from that - BIG worry. Also, mother is visiting for 3 weeks in June/July and altho I'll be out of town on a business trip for 4 days and at work 8-5pm the rest of the time and altho I do actually like her quite a bit :-), we do rub each other the wrong way, so there will be tension and arguments and her "forgetting" my bipolar. So I'm looking forward to the visit but dreading it at the same time, which is totally messing with my head.
Also, last week I walked into a plate glass door (and it fought back) so I've been having headaches for the last 7 days.
Oh well, what are you going to do? Life's a bitch, so I became one. On the upside, I finally adopted a cat after 10 years going without and whilst he's a Little Monster, he's also adorable.
Trying to figure out the "posting" gig so I think this may be twice - if it is, I'm sorry!
Hello everyone. My name is Kelli and I am from the east coast of central Florida. I am super nervous about my first tdoc visit coming next week. Really nervous - it's been 22 years and I am beginning to think there is absolutely nothing wrong with me! I drove by her office yesterday and today, trying to get a feel. She's a total stranger! What if the pdoc at that facility was totally wrong? Trying not to completely freak out - it helps to read everyone's posts. It helps me to know that I am not a weird or bad person. I hope I don't cancel. What if I don't like her? Just venting, I don't expect answers and my dh, well, he's clueless. My bf gets it because she's depressed - what a merry band! I've been reading about the medications but I had to stop because that makes it worse (those side effects!) and now I wonder if I have an alcohol problem as well. WAYYYYYYY to much self reflection lately. Thanks for allowing the rant!
I too was very much nervous about visiting a tdoc. Then when I went I chose a man who I was not very comfortable with and I was making myself more anxious about the appointments, so it was not helping so I stopped going.
Then a few months ago, I read about a thing called e-therapy. At the time I was trying to convince h to try marriage counseling and knew he would not go to a counselor. So I started with an etherapist. I find it so much easier to "talk" to her. I schedule it on my time, in the evening normally. I don't have to find a sitter. Since my insurance does not cover much for therapy, it is actually cheaper for me. It is just an idea if you find you just can't go to a therapist. Just remember to check on the credentials on your etherapists. Mine is licensed and everything and has a private practice with her dh, but by doing etherapy it gives her more time to be at home with her son. Just an idea.

Marci in Kansas City, Missouri here--trying VERY hard not to melt in the high 80's/low 90's.
Hi, I'm Peg. I live in eastern PA. I have not "officially" been dx with bp but as much as I hate to admit it, I'm pretty sure I am. I will be visiting a pdoc over the summer to confirm dx, maybe, if I can convince myself to. Right now I just get meds from my pcp.
I had a rough few weeks but I'm still here. I have no idea why, but I am. Right now I am struggling with the decision to put ds on AD/HD meds. I hate taking meds...that is why I have not gone to a pdoc yet...cuz I know there will be more or different meds. So, I struggle to put my kid through side effects, etc. I just don't know what else to do for him.
On a possibly positive note, we found out today that dh's insurance is changing. All the psych benefits are the same, so that sucks but, if I am understanding it right, it takes effect July 1 and I have to use the visits by Dec. 31, then I start over for the next calendar year...it's like I get to double dip for this year. I told him he has to call hr tomorrow and double check this...my luck is I'd spend them between now and Dec and have none left Jan through next July. SO, I hope that I get the extras, because I just told the tdoc I need to see her weekly over the summer.
Recent problems: very opposite moods within the same day (depressed or crying then hyper, talking fast and feeling great) or at the same time (crying hysterically while cleaning frantically; I had a drinking problem a few weeks ago (first time in 15 years); struggling with self-injury; broke down in front of my dh after last tdoc appt (first time ever); hating increase in meds (side effects stink).
Ok, that about sums it up for this minute. Thanks for listening!
Peg
