Hi all

No time for personals, but I am thinking of you all. My life has become more and more bizarre and surreal by the day -almost by the hour... and it's very tiring.

I am back to work, but the hour's commute means I have to retrain my body to sleep earlier - and it's not listening yet!! I am doing a LOT of driving, not just the commute.

So - not eating brilliantly, not running () and generally fighting feeling a bit sorry for myself - no reason, so no excuse!

It's lovely to meet the new people -welcome

Hope to post properly soon!
Heather

G'Morning

Heather dolly, its good to see you. I know what you mean about traveling, getting up early, etc... My natural alarm clock goes off at 5 AM every day so believe me when I say, you'll get there lol

at all the other chickies... have a wonderful day.

Leenie

Thanks tera.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Ok, i just did some lunchtime backreading and...

Sassy: Heya, gal. Sometimes people just click! I'm glad you found someone you could connect with. If you're gut is telling you she's cool, then she probably is! Trust the gut!

Wishing lots of luck to your DH!!!

Also, Leenie is right. Call the doctor about the mystery lump. Chances are very good it's nothing dangerous, but in the rare instance that it is life-threatening, the earlier you get it tested, the better your prognosis.

Leenie: Thanks for the welcome! I'm loving this place! Best smilies I've ever seen!

Hi everybody,

I had to close tonight so I didn't get home until about 9:30. Luckily I'm off tomorrow. We don't have any exciting plans unless you count mowing the yard and possibly shampooing the carpet. I can hardly wait!

wow i am doing AWFUL...The worst I have done since like the beggining of the year. Since its going on like two weeks of no medicine I thought I was going to be ok but oh wow...I am not. I went to bed at 11 last night and was up at 8 even though I didnt want to be..I am sooo tired...all I want to do is sleep. I did half of their school work this morning and I cant hardle keep myself awake. This is what I was like before I got on the wellbutrin. I thought it was the lexapro doing it but i still feel that way. I am going to go get my medicine. I was going to get it last night but they were closed before I got there. I was feeling really drowsy last night and figured it would be rough today......UGhh. i feel AWFUL....and have a wedding rehearsal to go to tonight..UGHH...and the wedding is tomorrow....So like I have to be all chipper and awake...i just want to take a really really long nap and do absolutely NOTHING today...ok lata

hey momof4under5 - i just wanted to say that what you are experiencing is withdrawal symptoms. you cannot go cold turkey of these meds without experiencing a lot of HECK and probably feel you are losing your mind to boot!!

if someone needs to come off a psych med (or find out the actual cause of their depression/mental problems is from a thyroid problem and is properly treated for that and then needs to come off the psych meds) it needs to be done very slowly and most have found that what works best is the 10% water filtration method - which is basically a 10% reduction of the med about every 2 weeks or so, until stabilized and then another 10% reduction is done!

People go cold turkey off these meds and then have terrible side effects and then think well surely they need the meds if they feel so badly - but again - it is withdrawal symptoms. I'm not saying you don't need the meds (bec I do not know what you do or do not need) -but I'm just saying if you decide you don't need the meds you have to withdraw off them very very slowly!!!

here is an link explaining water filtration if you feel at some point you need to come off a med

Hello, chickies!

It's feeling like a lazy day to me, even though it's really only been a lazy couple of hours. This morning I started my new morning routine, per FLYLady's recommendation and when my hubby got up an hour after I did, I was already ready to make a productive day of it. We sat down with our list of necessary expenditures (being broke like crazy means we don't get everything we need as soon as we need it) and set our priorities. I don't now how long it will take to finally get everything on it, but at least we've got a good idea of what's most urgent for our wellbeing so we won't keep letting the easier, less expensive and less important things keep getting in the way of the really big important stuff (like updating our eye prescriptions).

I intended to come over to Mom's house and immediately take my quiz and test in Biology I, but Norton decided it urgently needed to scan the computer, so I told it to go to it and I'll get started on tests once it's done. This afternoon, I'll pick hubby up from work and we'll get a new mop and some toothbrushes. Then home to watch a marketing video for the business.

Feeling a bit sleepy now, even though I got a really good night's sleep and woke feeling refreshed. Hmm.

Sassy: What a relief that it wasn't a lump! And what a great NSV, that you're able to feel those bones!

mom of 4: Cathy has a point about withdrawal. Is there any way you can get to a doctor about your prescriptions?

Ok, I'm going to maybe take a nap but probably not.

Hey all - no time to chat but wanted to pop in to say hey. Still buried under a major pile of homework, and exhausted to boot. Hopefully things will clear up soon. Maybe.

Wow, Amarie, that didn't take long! Classes just started and already you're swamped! Good luck, hon. :

Hey buddly, hope you're feeling better today

Amarie - Remember to give yourself some free time too. I know how you feel though, first week back and already I've alot of work to do What are you studying? (Sorry if I've already asked o awful memory)

Just popping into say hi. I'm not doing too badly, just my scale isnt going anywhere and I'd really like it to move now.. never mind, I just need to stay OP. I'm doing studio work next week which for me has always been very stressful and difficult, so I'm hoping I can deal with that and stay calm without having to go to the pub before hand then brush off my wonky out of focus pictures as 'artistic' .

Hi ladies,

I should be heading to bed soon because I have to work early tomorrow. I was off today and we didn't get anything done. We ate breakfast out and went to the movies. We saw 'Traitor' with Don Cheatle, it was good. We did buy a bissle rug shampooer, just haven't used it yet.

We are finally getting some rain since the tropical storm is moving up the eastern coast. We need it badly. Our grass will probably be over our head before we get to mow it, but that's ok. My pool league starts up this coming Tuesday. It'll be nice to see everybody again.

Momof4 , Buddly , and Heather

Gotta run.
