Dear Bobby,
I am happy that you said something about bipolar. The friends seem to be uncomfortable and want to make rules for how you define / present yourself.

Mari

I am glad that they came over to meet your fur babies!
That was very nice of you to invite them over.

i am constipated again and will start taking miralax again. i don't want to go to the doctor's. what a bummer. i have also been eating a lot and hopefully can start controlling myself. i refuse to get on the scale until i do.
today a friend from the senior center is coming over to meet Maria who now works for her sister. she really wants to meet her. she came over a couple of days ago to meet my cats.
I have also been feeling very tired. I haven't been doing anything and think i am getting enough sleep. I don't know if it is a reaction to the anxiety from the rent issue or what. all i want to do is rest and read a little

Hi :)

Yeah, now if only I could figure out how turn the concept into a concrete perspective that we can adopt... :rolleyes::o (Will share, if I do! :hug:)

I am glad you are socializing a little more with the folks from the senior center. I hope things take a turn for the better for Ralph, and I hope he doesn't move to Haiti, although I suppose he might be happy there. I just think how sad if he were to leave.

As for the feeling tired, you have been stressed about different things, and that can be really exhausting. Or for whatever reason, you probably need more rest even if you are getting what "seems" to be enough sleep. It sounds like your body is telling you what you need. Listen to it. Nothing wrong with reading and resting for some time. And maybe some extra cuddling with the kitty cats too, if they will go for it. Pudge sounds like she would. ;) Your energy will probably come back when you feel more relaxed. Anxiety is so exhausting! I was surprised but my pdoc confirmed that it is so.

So, you just take good care of yourself. I am sending good thoughts.

Love

Okay when i start getting tired I have to think

Have I been taking my iron.

I'm anemic, so if not then I usually found the problem.

Donna:grouphug::hug:

i don't take iron and i guess i better look up which foods contain iron since i hardly have any red meat. thanks for the suggestion.

thanks waves
yesterday i was on the right track until late last night. i have lost that sense of control i had for a year. i broke down and made a frozen indian meal. i had skipped supper. i have been very anxious...even though i am taking klonopin.
now my intestines acting up or not acting up is adding to the anxiety again. rats
love
bobby

I know for me my generic metamucil is a forever thing, I use the sugar free kind, a heaping teaspoon full twice a day. I like the mild orange flavor.
sorry about your anxiety.
bizi:hug:

I just ordered some chia seeds. I wonder if they will work. I woke up so depressed this morning. the depression has gotten worse again. there has been an underlying sadness for so long now. except for my teeth and now the recurring constipation and financial worries, things are better than they have been in a long time. I thought a lot had to do with loneliness but now i talk to two women once a day and that is company. my neighbor took me out to eat again. that was so nice of her. at the senior center, eddie always gives me water which is really sweet. I have lost control of my eating. I just ordered green coffee extract and something else for hopefully weight loss.
I dont feel like going to the senior center tomorrow. I just feel like staying in bed. I have some books to read but that sounds like a drag. tv sounds like a drag. the only things that don'tsound like a drag are my cats and coffee.
I spent a few minutes just saying God's name and repeating it. I am probably going through bipolar depression and you would think that i would be used to it by now.
bobby sorry for complaining

Hugggggggs to you Bobby.

I wish you felt better. I am glad you are seeing more people and made up with Barbara. :) You will get through this.

Meanwhile... i just ran across this and thought it might bring you a smile. Yyou may have seen it before - i have - but i still liked it. I like it even without the captioning.
