Hi Beth,

I'm going to lie low on Saturday considering the stuff going on with my my neighbors now. Sunday a friend will be coming by and we'll go out to eat lunch.

Barbara

I hope you are able to relax some this weekend barbara.

Hi!

I am here....

So hating being in a mixed state... found out yesterday how fast I can go from zero to tumbling spinning manic to dark depression.... NOT FUN!!!

I couldn't reach my tdoc so I called my pastor friend.... he was able to calm me but not stop the mixed state... still there and still fighting.

I see tdoc at 8am on monday and pdoc at 9:15.... something has got to be done. I'm afraid I am going to lose it if not.


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
My dad is making my mom and I dinner tonight.... other than that... I'm just sitting here.

HUGS TO ALL!

Abbie

Dear Abby,
I am sorry that your moods are still not stable.
I understand how frustrated you are.
I hope that your family understands and is supportive of you.
beth

i am ok my mood is in the dumps - but not like, severe depression. just regular dumpy, asocial, crabby, leemeealoooone kinda thing.

Beth,
hope you get out and enjoy the parades!

Abbie,
glad to hear from you, hope you had a good time last night in spite of the head-spaghetti going on. it has been abotu 2 weeks - that's a full blown mixed EPISODE. Your pdoc better do something sure enough. Make sure he understands how long it's gone on, and the extremes you have dealt with. if you think you might forget or get derailed as you talk to him, make a "shopping list" of brief, "point items" and bring it with. you can even hand it to him, and let him ask you to elaborate each one, that way you ensure all get covered.

Barbara,
glad you are getting out to lunch with your friend. hope you enjoy! It makes me mad about your neighbors. It just does. I keep sending you "safety vibes" .

I talk to Bobby every now and then - overall she has still been down, but hanging in there so to speak. not really up to posting but she thinks about you guys.

talked to her just a few days ago but had to cut off abruptly coz i had therapy and had to do something for mom before i left. wish i had been more cognizant of the time. haven't seen her online since. so, right now, i don't know what is going on. maybe she will pop in sometime, who knows...

i have to go. now i'm even more glum thinking about this.

overall,

i want to stick my head down the toilet and flush, and that's my general sentiment for today.

later...

Dear Waves,
I am sorry that you are not in the best of moods.
I can relate to this.
Does getting outside in the fresh air, taking a brief walk....going to a dog park if you have such a thing and watching the animals.
we have a pet store here that folks bring their dogs into to socialize and they also have a cat adoption clinic set up so you can visit with the kitties, that always brings a smile to my face.
In fact we are talking about getting another kitty for hazel to play with.
I msut get going, I look like a wreck, stayed up way to late watching harold and maude....
I hope you feel better soon.
(((((HUGS))))
beth

i would love to go play with kitties at a shelter if i could. i am a cat person, but dogs would be fine too. no shelter nearby. you have good suggestions. but when i'm like this i'm completely passive... don't want to do ANYthing.

going outside for a walk is not something i relish - still winter here and in 30's daytime. definitely sitting outside would be even worse than walking! brrrr. today was a very clear day tho. a walk would have been good for me. probably i should try to force myself (yes, force) to bundle up and take a walk every day. exercise is a great mood stabilizer, not to mention my body needs it, sigh. .

there are lots of factors to current moodiness ... the problems should be transient. i am hoping.

thanks for the suggestions. that would be neat if you got another youngster to keep Hazel company. i thought you already had multiple cats - was i mixed up? something about Hazel bossing your older cat? am i thinking of someone else?

~ waves ~

Thank you all.

Waves, I hope you feel better soon. I think exercise would be something, like you said, to help.

I had a nice day today. My friend beat me in the game of scrabble. I had a hamburger for for lunch and on of my neighbors had me over for supper.

friends are nice to have barb!
waves yes we have another cat harriet who is very sedate and about 10 yeras old and doesn't want to play with kitty hazel, so hazel gets bored and into things...she is almost 1 year old now and very kitten like still.
hOpe you feel better sooner than later.
