Mimzy I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad. I hope the dr.s visit helps. I have been there and felt like life was a complete waste of effort, since it seems to be so much of an effort at times. But as you probably have experienced, every feeling comes and goes and so will this one. Hopefully sooner than later. Check in and let us know you are ok.

I was thinking tonight about what the next big milestone in my life is and it is turning 40 in 2 years. (aside from my 20 year class reunion this summer that I'm ignoring ) I would like to feel better about myself then and be healthy. If I start working on it now I could make that happen. I need to set some goals, gosh I haven't done that in a while. I would also like to get out of debt.

Anybody doing anything this weekend?

Hi all,

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it. Sometimes it does just seem that this is forever, when it's been so many years and every day is a struggle but I try to just keep looking forward and staying positive that things can one day change for the better. The doctors thing didn't work out, they messed up my appointment time and told me I'd just have to try and make another appointment next week When I got annoyed the receptionist finally had the good grace to offer me another appointment at a later time in the day but I had carefully scheduled my time to fit in the earlier appointment so it was no good. So it was all a big waste of time

BoJo, you're right, it does help to look around and find little things that are good in your life. I went for a walk early this morning and it was one of those warm misty mornings, it was calming.

Momof4, I kinda felt the same about meds and not wanting to take them, it's a tough one. Sorry you had a bad night, it's horrible I know, when you're desperately tired but your brain just won't switch off and let you sleep.

Hope, that's a good idea, you can work out a two year plan and if you stick to it your 40th will be really memorable. Me too on the debt thing... I really need to sort myself out and start paying some stuff off but I'm just rubbish at being organised.

Sassy, it sucks when the nice weather only shows up when you've got to work... hope you got some good weather for your weekend this time! Sorry to hear about your DH's aunt, I hope she recovers.

Hi to everyone else, hope you all have a good weekend

Hi Mimzy, Big Thanks I had at least one nice day off so that was good. MIL called, DH's Aunt is not doing well at all and probably is going to die, she doesn't want the drs to do anything to make her better.

Take Care.

I want chocolate so badly... and entire packets of biscuits... and not to feel blue today :-( I should get some exercise but I feel so sleepy... I soooo don't want to go back down the depressed road again. Rah!

Hmmm, I can't believe the weekend is almost over. Hugs to everyone who needs them. Sassy Chick your avatar and sig is too cute! I'm feeling sleepy too Cuddly, I haven't worked out all weekend! I have zero energy right now. It's not even 6:30 but I'm ready for bed

Hey all!

I'm back, and had a wonderful, sunny, lazy vacation! Naturally, I ate too much and didn't move enough, but back at it right?? *sigh*

Hope all of you are doing well - stuff to sort for getting back to work tomorrow, so I haven't read through all the posts - sorry!

Heather

Welcome back Heather. Taking a vacation sounds so awesome. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm up too late. I do have to work in the morning. Oh well, sosdd. Hugs to all who need them.

Thanks, Hope!

I feel strong and back on track - I've motivated myself for a 10-week plan (to the end of May) so I am telling myself - Heather, you can do ANYTHING for 10 weeks!

How's everybody else??

Heather

Whew... terrible pms has suddenly set in. I feel like there is an elephant sitting on my chest and I'm so annoyed at everything and nothing at the same time. I'd rather chew nails than go to my tax prep job tomorrow.

Heather, I admire the goal setting, maybe you should do some planning for me since I seem to only be good at avoiding and slacking.

Well, I'm going to get off here and concentrate on breathing.

I am feeling sooooo much better the lexapro is really helping....once my body gets used to it again I dont think it will make me sick. It hasnt made me feel sleepy at all but also I think the welbutrin helps. I actually feel happy. I dont feel like I am constantly yelling or mad over everything. I am not constantly annoyed and aggrivated. Its such a wonderful feeling to be in a good mood most all day!!! EVEN WITH 5 KIDS 3 of which fight, scream, cry and throw temper tantrums about every 15 minutes...LOL OK long day not a lot to say just checking it....ttyl

Can I come home now?

The last 10 weeks have been, well... bad. I've missed you guys, but I couldn't a) find the time to come here and check in or b) drag myself out of my depression enough to admit I needed to.

I promise I'll try not to disappear again. I hope you all are surviving the winter!

Hope - are you surviving the tax season?

Amarie

Totally missed you amarie!!!! Glad your back!!

Yay Amarie! I've wondered where you were. I almost pm'd you a couple of weeks ago to see if you were still alive. I figured you were busy with school. Sorry about the depression. Any particular reason or just lucky? I only have 3 weeks left to go in tax season. I'm only there 5 hrs a week now so it's basically just an annoyance at this point. Tell us what's been going on. Do you have spring break soon?

Hi everyone and welcome back Amarie! Thanks for the reminder Hope I need to go ahead and get my taxes done! Not much is going on with me (as usual) My sleeping has been kind of random lately. I wake up really early in the morning but can't go back to sleep. I'm trying to go with the flow and either clean, workout, or study for the lsat while I'm up....I've heard studies that say there's a connection between sleep and weight loss.
Happy Wednesday everyone, tttyl

Good morning!

amarie good to see you back. So sorry to hear things haven't been great tho. Spring is a come in, or so they tell me.

Nothing new here. Thankfully its warming up and the melt is starting. I think the celexa is working some plus the nicer weather is helping I'm sure. On mon when I saw my counselor she said I looked "brighter" so thats good.
Hope, I still haven't done our taxes yet, I've had all the info for ages, but I do have until April 30th. No sense rushing into these things.

Well take care everyone and have a good day,
K
