Leggo - crap - meds are working and I am not making sense - had to delete what I wrote. I will leave this page open so I remember to come back when I am awake. I want your med regimen! Views, deb, susan...thanks for your support. It means a lot. Yes I've improved with the self blame and feeling dir...

Look at it another way --- it shows what a nice person you are that you took him at face value. So helpful! Thank you. Sorry to hear you had an awful experience too. Around the birth of your friend's baby too...that is so low. I wrote about it...with the aim of publishing it somewhere. That helped ...

I have just had an awful experience with a home repair person I have known and used for 4 years. This guy was referred to me by a man I knew and trusted, who had no idea that this repair person has the problem he does. The repair guy, I'll call him J, has always been a flirt. I flirted back in the b...

Views, yeah it is really sad more isn't required to be a parent. I read that book too.

My mom tends to apologize for the past. I can get over the past. But she does the same crap now. Zero insight. I'm just fed up.

That sounds horrible! I know you're not into government stuff, but you may want to consider getting an attorney on contingency and applying for SSI. You do need a medical record for that so maybe re consider going to the doctor. This is a complex illness and I can't imagine trying to go it alone. It...

The effect of poor sleep - even when medications are "controlling" the symptoms - is devastating. It's a life changer. It's the difference between generating a scientific paper and being unable to even read one, let alone do original research. It's the difference between doing all the thi...

Speaks to the desperation of the sleep-deprived. I hope you find something that works without this side effect.

So glad you love it!

I did it last night. For crissakes it wasn't that hard! Oh lord, can I ever relate to that. I have been through so many episodes of putting something off, and when I do decide to do it, it takes less time than I spent deciding to put it off Exactly! It took all of half an hour to an hour to figure ...

Welcome!!! Congratulations!!! Now get to the beach!

Just popping in to say that these fools stole my trash can on trash day when I wasn't home and left me with their trash can instead, which is older and maybe smaller. They also put trash in it, which I removed and put in front of their curb. I have it on security camera. I suspect they did the same ...

They don't need a brain...just follow the clinical treatment algorithm, right? [sarcasm]

What's more than a little scary...they are opening their own private medical school soon!!! That creeps me out.

I'm sharpening my grievance-writing pencil already.

Thanks deb... Beth yeah that's a good point...not to change too many things at once. Amazingly, today I received in the mail an enrollment special from the gym waiving the start up fee and going month to month! Swimming or water aerobics will help my joints and help relax me. I'm not sure why the ox...

If it's depression, it's different than all previous episodes in my life. I've been on the same meds since 2005 or so. I'm afraid to change them for fear of making my situation worse. In the past when I tried to go off them, I'd get into an agitated depression and it was bad news. It might be worth ...

Views, I appreciate what you said, especially the last paragraph. I have said similar things many times. It was my mom's birthday in Oct. Usuaĺly I send a card and or call. This year I just emailed. I haven't wanted to engage. If I had the energy I would have sent a card but I did not get it togethe...
