Hi all :wave:

weekend oscillated between peaceful and unhappy - but I'm still hanging in there. I do it to myself, really - I'm sure you all know what I mean.

Nothing of news - just popping in to say hello - HELLO!

Have a great week, all :)

Heather :D

Did I ever mention that I hate my job? And its 10 X's worse once you've been off for 10 days? I just want to go home, already.

Hope your all having a great evening.

:hug:

Hello Chickies! :grouphug:

A rather normal (sad, empty, just-want-to-curl-up-and-do-nothing) weekend for me. I hope that things get better for you at work Sassy Chick! Please take care of yourselves this week ladies, you deserve it! I hope that it is a peaceful and uneventful week for us all...

Take care all!

Hi, ladies. I take prozac and lithium, but, since things are particularly bad, my doctor prescribed abilify short term. I start taking it this afternoon. I've tried seroquil before, it worked, but, I was allergic, and had to stop taking it. I hope this doesn't cause me to gain more weight, I gained a bit, when I started on the lithium, a few months ago. I'm five three, currently 160 pounds. I've decided to go with ediets deliciously yours delivery service, because then, my family can prepare my food for me, and it's all layed out. Exercise is compromised, because of the dizziness caused by antipsychotics, but, I plan to walk with my boyfriend daily. I just want things to get better. The doctor says with rest, meds and support, I should be up and around in a month or so. Take care, it's nice to meet you all. Looking up that medicine to see what I'm in for, LOL.
Amie

Hi Ladies.......Its MY Friday! :D Only 3 hrs left...........:woohoo:

I really need my Wellbutrin...........My moods are like a rollercoaster.....up and down..........lol.......

Hi and :welcome: Amie, I hope you are back up and about soon. You Can do it! :cheer:

:hug: to all!

Hi ladies,
I am here i have just sort of been lurking. I have been struggling with my diet but am determined that i will not give up. It gets old when i continue to sabatoge my diet efforts. I tell myself i will not keep doing that to myself and yet here i am losing the same 2 or 3 pounds and then putting them back on.

:wave: Hi ladies, nice to see you all.

Sorry I can't play today (or chat) boss man :drill: is here and well... you know lol.

I will catch up soon.

:welcome: Amie

Cherry, Sassy, Buddly, Lauryn, Heather, Cathy and the rest of you chicklets :hug:

Hi Ladies! :wave:
It's a slow, rainy day here again. The weather tends to mess with my mood, so I'm feeling slow and rainy as well. I'm sorry you weren't able to switch nights with your co-worker Sassy Chick, but at least you and your hubby will soon have Thursday nights ALL to yourselves (Yea!!!). I hope things go extra smoothly at work today Leenie, with your boss there observing.
I hope everyone has a survivable and (hopefully!) sunny day! :flow2:

A very warm welcome to Cherry Autmun and Amie! :welcome3:
~Lauryn

Hi ladies,

Thought I would let you all know that I'm still alive. I've been lurking off and on but haven't posted, I can't explain why.

Quick update: My grandma passed away this week and it's been hard making such long distance decisions and plans (she was in Minnesota). She will be cremated and sent back to my home town, so I will be gone sometime soon to attend the service.

The company I felt sure would hire me finally contacted me, but long story short, it may be the first of the year before the position is available. I may just take some kind of retail job through the holidays to bring in some cash. The bad thing is that if I do that I'm probably looking at no time off for Christmas or Thanksgiving. I don't mind that so much since I've been off for the better part of the whole year, but my family isn't in town so I won't be able to see them on Christmas day. Oh well...

Hope all is well with everybody else and welcome to all the newbies!

Hi, I'm new
 

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I joined a long time ago, but didn't really post. I'm on a lot of psych meds (Effexor, Risperdal, Vallergan, Imovane) and also diabetic. The meds have slowed my metabolism down to the speed of continental drift. :( I have anxiety/depression and PTSD

My whole life, I have been a bit pudgy but never overweight until I started these meds. I can't go off the meds, but I have an appointment with my psychiatrist coming up and I'm going to ask him if he can switch them or something. Anything to get some of this weight off! I had lost about 23 lbs, but I've gained most of it back now after losing my motivation to eat well. Although, I have overeaten at times, that isn't my biggest problem. I am LAZY about food. I don't like cooking and tend to eat quick fixes...a handful of nuts, PB&J, cereal, etc. BAD BAD BAD. I really don't like fruit and I am not too crazy about veggies. I know that I have to turn all this around if I'm going to be successful. It's just soooooooooo hard!

Looking forward to knowing you all better....

Hi Everybody! :wave:

I hope you all are doing well!

:hug:

Good afternoon,

Sorry I wasn't here earlier today, I had to clean and then get my DD to karate. Just got back and had to feed the mob. Boy is it raining hard today.

Hi Miette, welcome :hug: I'm glad your going to see your doc about your meds, I hope there is something they can do to help you get started on your journey. It'll be nice getting to know you too.

Hope its good to see you chickie. I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma :hug: This job may be worth waiting for.... I'm a firm believer in good things come to those who wait. Hang in there Hope.

Sassy :wave: watcha up to chickie.

Lauryn, is it still raining by you? its been raining really hard today but warm out...strange. Betcha all the leaves fall now. I was in Maryland in September for work, Towson to be exact. I didn't get to venture out but it looked like a pretty town.

HEATHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOO !

Cherry, Amie, Buddly, and CATHY !!!! :wave:


.

Hi all. :wave:

I've been in pain. My back has been killing, think its the weather change, which is okay since it means fall is finally here and hopefully to stay! lol.

We've been getting rain too, too bad the people in CA aren't getting any. Did you all here that it was supposed to be arson? :o They caught all put one person involved, I hope they find them.

Big :hug:

Hi ladies. Sorry I've been MIA. I've been sick, on top of DH getting laid off and then getting a job but being severely underpaid, and now we're completely out of money (and options) for a couple weeks. It's days like this where it really hits me.

I hope to get caught up and promise I will start posting more. I need it, because I obviously haven't been doing very well on my own.

Hi Girlfriends,

Sorry I wasn't here earlier today, our power went out and then I just got involved in cleaning and cooking, carving pumpkins lol.

Sassy, hope your feeling better soon :hug:

Brand, you'll be in my prayers too :hug: yes posting does help...at least it gets things off your chest.

I have laundry to finish and a kitchen to clean, and have no desire to do it lol....any volunteers?

Well ladies, you all have a great day, whats left of it.

See ya tomorrow ;)

Leenie

Hi ladies,

I'm going to try to post more despite my lack of anything to say.

Brandnew: I've been thinking about you since I read your post earlier. Money problems can be so stressful. I know since I've been out of work for several months. I'll be praying you find a way to make it through the next few weeks and things will look up. Good to hear from you.

We've been watching football today. I never, ever, ever thought I would say that. I've always HATED it. I guess that goes to show that anything is possible.

I hope we all have a better week than the last one. Let's toast to that!! :cheers:
