I'm trying to be positive although I am having lapses.

The worry for me, is people will see me fighting really hard and think i'm fine and ready to face the world again. I'm far from that, but i'm kicking and screaming that bit harder and louder.

How are you at the moment, geminilady?

Well you may not think you are ready to face the world but at least you are still fighting and have not just given up on life.I am ok at the moment thanks,but Saturday is my favourite day of the week.I look forward to the weekends but only really like Saturdays,never been keen on sundays for some reason and also my mum died on a Sunday,12 yrs on April 14th,funny enough my ex died on the same date as well as my grandad:eek:. i still miss my mum a lot.Sunday used to be our family day and either she came to visit me or the other way round so Sundays will never be the same.I am feeling pretty positive myself though although i am still lonely and would like to meet someone special.I don't here much from "N" these days not text for 2 weeks,have realised if he is interested he will text me and if he isn't well there is nothing i can do about it.

evening all, not had such a bad day overall. this morning was stressful, received two letters in the post which stressed me, first one was from daniel's school, saying he excluded til weds, and second one, was there would be no transport for joshua to get to school next week, kids bickering all morning felt well and truly stressed, plus couple of nuisance phone calls.
this afternoon went much better, managed to get to leeds, the nearest place to me that has a shop catering for tall women. managed to get 4 jumpers that fitted really nice, not cheap, but hopefully they will last a long time.
this evening kids were calmer, and they have even gone to bed early :j
so going for a nice long soak in peace.
hope everyone else has had a good day too
big hugs

morning, oops, afternoon folks.

Only woke about an hour ago after sleeping 11 hrs. Started on mood stabiliser yesterday, could sleeping this much be a side effect, or is it too soon?

Mid afternoon and I'm still in pj's trying to get my head together to face the day. All my plans for the day completely trashed now. Not that I actually had any definate plans, just things that really need doing, like hoovering, walking the dog, updating my finances etc. Its nearly dark up here in the wild and windy north so if I sit here online long enough, I'll be ready for bed. I could just put my wellies and long dog walking coat on over my pj's to give the horribly hairy hound some exercise(done that a few times in the past).

Anxiety level rising as back to work on monday - only 6 hrs per week though for a couple of weeks, which is 2 short afternoons and although I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at work, cos we all get on really well, it's the fact that I have to be somewhere at a certain time which is making me anxious. I'm always late for everything, because going out is such hard mental work and it takes ages to get my head prepared for facing the real world. Then, because I know I'm going to be late, I get even more stressed. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

Time for more caffeine and nicotine - drugs make my world go round, ADs & MS's to calm me down and keep me stable, and coffee and fags to perk me up and keep me going. Mad, isn't it?!

Have a good what's left of the day everyone.

I dont remember that side effect persay but do find all AD MS and Anti Psychotics make you one way or the other(sllepy or alert!).
Hope you got something done in the house WvW.
I went to Stirling and had lunch, then looked round the shops. I was feeling bad again today, I had not taken my AD since the nurse thingon Tues as I was expecting to be told to stop them. I took a double dose today so should feel a bit better tomorrow. I feel very mixed up!

Gosh, that's really tough on you gem... xx But i do also know that if you like someone, you like them... Here's hoping you meet that someone special soon - I know they are out there for you.

Take care hun.
