No I don't want to learn anything new! I want to wake up and have the happy life. The life without the tears, rejections, and emotional back pack as you call it. I just want it all to go away. I want to mean something to someone. I'm so fricken angry today!!! Why? Who knows this time. I have so much to do and no time to do it in. I'm sick of always being on the run. I have to clean house and do laundry. It is already after 2:00. I also have homework to do, groceries to buy and dinner to make. All I want to do is go to bed! Yes, I screwed up my meds this weekend when I did the sleepover with the teens at church. Why do I need stupid meds anyway! If they take so long to build up in your system then missing one or two doses shouldn't matter! I just want to screammmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sick of feeling this way! I'm getting mad at myself. Why aren't I strong enough to fix this? Why can't I get over all this stupid stuff? WHY WHY Why???

You think there is a reason? I think it is a waste. I'm so frustrated and I really haven't accomplished a thing today. I don't think there is a reason. I think I'm just nuts! I've got too much going on and I'm not good enough to keep up with it all. I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to control her emotions. I'm weak. I appear to be strong on the outside but inside I am crying all the time. I have these stupid breakdowns where I just cry for hours on end. Does anyone even hear me? No. You know why? Because there isn't anyone there! No one cares! I have a six year old who says mommy why are you crying. What am I suppose to say to him? When my 14 yr old says Mom what's wrong, what am I to say? I don't know? That I'm just out of control again? Don't worry about it, maybe tomorrow will be better? Maybe it will be worse? Does it even matter?

It's a new day. Going through the motions of life waiting for the new funk wave to pass. It seems so meaningless.

Going to the Dr.

I'm going to the psychiatrist for the first time today. I've never been to one before and I'm very nervous and anxious. Any tips from anyone? It took me forever just to go to see a counselor and now after 1.5 years I'm headed to the shrink. This just doesn't feel right.

What is the difference between a Psy. and a counselor besides the fact that they can perscribe meds?

Going to the Dr.

Maybe we'll actually begin to feel better. You think? I'm still nervous just the same. Are you saying the psychiatrist doesn't really want to hear about my problems? I'm so confused. Lady

Going to the Dr.

Well I have returned. They didn't lock me up. They just asked me a million questions and then decided my medicine isn't working for me. Well that took a PHD to figure out! Anyway, they are going to change my medicine and see what happens. The diagnosis was Situational Depression and Anxiety and that I’ve had it for years. That doesn’t make sense to me. Situational? That would be occasional wouldn’t it? I'm not sure I really understand it all. They asked a ton of questions, changed my medicine and sent me on my way. I'm not sure I feel any better.

Sleeping

JenJen, Why don't you try to sleep about the same schedule as the kids? Do something relaxing before you lie down. For a while I had trouble sleeping and found that if I just read for about 30 minutes before I went to sleep, I slept better. Instead of lying back down after the kids are off to school do your exercise then, it is suppose to give you energy. Make yourself stay up until it is time for bed that night. Set a time and stick to it even if you have difficulty falling asleep. You may not sleep but you will be resting. I hope this helps.
