Bumping this up!

How is everyone doing today? I was bad, I didn't keep this going for more than a day, but anyone who would like to/needs to get support, please feel free to bump or start a new thread.

How are you all feeling?

Yesterday I was sick with a flu of some sort, and I was kind of feeling down on myself for not working out, but I'm feeling much better (in all ways!) today.

Anyone else need some support today?

thanks for asking, this morning has been really crappy for me just down, or emotional, ya know? been really well for a while now though, so that's good. I get a massage tonight, so it should be all good... just gotta get through work and then squeeze in at least a little bit of a workout first!

I've definitely had those days before.... some of them just last week! lol

I'm sorry that you're feeling down. It's good that you can do something a little "different" today. (Massage!) I know that when I felt bad enough that I wanted to tear my hair out, it was really helpful to just treat myself to the movies, or go get a pedicure or even just invite a friend over to chat.

Take care of yourself! I'm here for you!

Hey gals and guys, it has been a bit of a tug of war in the past few days, however it is settleing back into a good form for now. My mind is trying to control the emotions, and thoughts in the doom and gloom mode, to shovel the thoughts away and make the visual sense out of the real enviroment. I am hopefully dreaming but my ears are playing selective sounds only. Some times I think I hear sarccasim when really it is not, but a glib comment.
I am so afraid to open my mouth sometimes. I have been drinking a lot more water to try and rehydrate and rinse my body, I have noticed I have not been drinking the usuall 3 litres per day.
I pray for all my friends, family, and new acquaintences every night and I also ask for help to heal the turmoil brewing inside of me.
I have faith and trust, and it has been proven to me, I am loved, and I will be healed.

I'll be checking in again real soon. I will catch up on the notes too, right now I'm in the middle of a 26 work day straight, so I am really tired and maybe too tired to legally be typing.:laugh:
Love and hugs to all :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I myself do not suffer from anything major(get the blah's every now and then) but my mother and sister are both bipolar. My sister actually is the worst kind of bipolar because she has highs and lows inbetween the day. My mom always tries to be extreme with her diet, then if she isn't 100 percent perfect she completely sabotages herself and goes way on the deep end. My sister is morbidly obese and is the same way. So I have grown up with "If you don't do it perfect, you can't ever do it" mentality wth my mom and "eat whatever you want and how ever much you want" mentality with my dad, and I had to train myself that there can be a balance. I can't even imagine what you guys must be going through, but I am proud of each and every one of you!

Can you give me more info on your sister, cycling like that daily? I am that way but can't seem to find a doctor who understands. Yesterday, I was on cloud nine. Today, I'm in the depths of despair. I had suicidal thoughts again last night (I won't carry through, as long as my daughter is alive I will be here for her, but they still pop into my brain). I'm going to see my shrink this afternoon.

I dont' know too much about my sister, only that she said her shrink told her that she is the worst bipolar from having highs and lows through the day. She can wake up fine and happy as can be, then at lunch be SUPER depressed and can't get out of bed, then by dinner be dandy all over again. I know most of her problems are family related(we have some super mentally ill people in our fam) but when she was like 17 or so she started doing meth, so I think that made it even worse. She has a really good husband who has stuck with her thick and thin, and I think a good support system is what really helps when you are havintg so many issues! I will ask her next time I talk to her about what anti-depressant she is on.

Hello gals;

I feel like a gerbal in a ball and someone has their hands on it, I am all over the place mentally. I feel suspended at times, just plain anxiety and no control. My diet is still in some control, a couple of days I let loose,(for fear I would snap) and ate what ever I fancied, but I did choose to bring home some cookies that don't over kill when I eat them, arrowroots! I ate a couple of fat suppers, potatoes, meat and some cooked vegetables. Good food but prepared with tons of calories, to my supprise my body felt a bit better, my stomach though did complain just after finishing. Drank a litre of water after supper each night, hope that washed some of the bad stuff out.

September is comming soon and I am not looking forward to what the doc might say, has anyone had to disagree with their doc about how treatment should be applied, for example, my mind is made up to fight this depression with common sense and good foods, I know there are foods that can help stimulate the happy' in the brain, and good exercises to move the good food around the body and plenty of water to wash the poisons out.

I have also taken a step to better me, and that is I cut my work hours from my second job down to casual hours. I need to fix my self, so I need time to focus, two jobs takes too much time from me. Is this a good choice??

A question what is bumping??

Hello

Had a great day yesterday, I was funny and feeling almost normal. Hope this continues for a few days, give me a chance to organize somethings for the down days.
Hope all of you are okay, seems we don't talk very much.
