Hello!!!

Okay I have just been reading posts for the last little while and feel like I am going to float off of the couch and not be able to write my post. These past few days have been full of rollercoasters. My emotions are really high, same as my anxiety. I am taking my medications for it, and doing all my techniques, but as you know its not always that easy and you have to ride it out.
So that is what I have been doing. Today we were supposed to go to school, but my anxiety stressed me out to much because I have a new teacher in the small room I work in. So I made a plan, I called my regular teacher to find out who is in there, and she found out for me. This really helps me out, because when I have a plan I feel better.
So today I spent the morning with my mom, a friend of the family and myself working on the forms of why I qualify for disability. Its not that easy to write "sane" things when your mind is all over the place. That is why I had help with it.
I also saw my somewhat counselor lady today and it went well. I showed her all the pictures I have been taking and she encourages me to do things that make me happy like taking pictures!
Next time I see her, she will help me work on a budget, that way I know what to do with the money I am getting.
Home has been up and down. My mom is still really tired and sore from the surgery. I told her yesterday to not do so much because when she does things physical she isn't there mental. I told her I would rather if she could me her mentally! Who else is gonna be my mom????
What can I say, I am 19 and a mommas girl.
My sleeping hasn't gotten better. Still stressed out because of it, but I know the more I stress the worse it gets so I am trying to stay mellow, but we know that is easier said then done.
So I am getting used to my hair being different, all this funky highlights makes me look different for sure, but I think I like it. I feel good about the price, the lady charged me only $45 for a whole head of foils. And on Wednesday I am goin to get my nails done!!! I got a gift certificate.
Been trying to do nice things for myself.
I hope that a schedule like going to school will help with the sleep though.
I see my doctor on thursday so she can fill out the forms for her part and that will be it! I can send it off.
OOkay I got to go, I will talk to you later!!!

Wow! You have had some day! I hope your mom is ok. Do you care for her alone?
That cant help anxiety too much. What medications are you taking?

Hi dcash22
My mom recently had surgery due to a cancerous tumor growing in her colon. The surgery went well though, the treatments she had before the surgery killed all of the cancer it seems. I don't care for her alone, I live in a house with two brothers, and I also have my dad.
The medications I take for my anxiety and depression are Luvox, clanazopam, and gabapentin.
Also I agree today was a full day.

Hi,

I can sure relate to being anxious about school. LOL But its great that you have a plan and are taking such positive steps. I hope your Mom makes a swift recovery. Glad you have help.

I hate paperwork. I'm waiting for the forms to do our taxes and will be so glad to have that done. I feel better though because DH and I have both been researching and know we won't have to pay out more $ this year.

Hugs,
Dee

No wonder you were feeling a little *floaty.* You have many stressors in your life, but you continue to seek support & make plans. All of which is very positive

Thanks for the update! I was wondering if you were used to the new hair color!
