Marcie that's normal for a first appointment (except for the question about homocide - were you carrying an axe lol). they test if you are oriented to time date and place. it's part of the mental status exam. a very small number of people have no idea where they are or what the time is. of course the fact that you made it to your apptmt suggests you probably passed that test!!! they usually also ask about drugs and alcohol, suicide, thoughts, etc etc. bipolar and anxiety can be confused so they have to ask lots of questions to differentiate between them and make sure they have the right diagnosis.

i guess it was good she warned you about side effects but it sounds like she went overboard LOL. did she say what type of bipolar she thinks you may have? did you feel comfortable with her???

yes yes it's me that loves rose oil. it is divine and very uplifting. i need to get into the habit of using it daily. it is fantastic. well worth the price. i don't wear perfume so i figure it is worth the money.

they didn't really give me any help but if the antibiotics get rid of the headache i will be thrilled. anyway docs just like to give you drugs and i don't like drugs so not really a meeting of the minds there.

I did like her. She told me what it was, but I was kind of overwhelmed, and I don't remember.

I am having SUCH a hard time tonight. My nerves are jumping right out of my skin. I'm panicky, and I feel so ******* alone. I feel so alone. It's going to be a very long night.

well let's hope the meds make a difference
can you phone your parents or a friend to talk with?

Not really. My mom would tell be to go to her house, she likes it when I'm weak, so I can't do that. Have isolated myself somewhat, so no close friends. That's why I'm here with you guys.

That sounded kind of funny, like you were a last resort. That's not the way it is at all. The people on this site have been womderful, and I have been able to open up like never before.

hehe i didn't read it that way.

my mother is the same. she will never come to me when i'm upset even if it's a disaster and i've lost my job or my man or whatever. she's always "too busy"

this site is great, but a real life friend is more "immediate" well usually. sometimes we're all here at the same time but with time differences we often are many hours apart.

Hi Marciet,
how are things going this morning?

Morning everyone, wow SweetPea and Marcie almost had a chat room going. And yes Marcie, how are you today? Was last night the pits? Totally agree with you about the friends here - you all know way more than me "friends" except maybe one. Naw, you guys know more. Actually, that one friend from around here just lost her mother and so this afternoon I'm going to the funeral. It was sort of a surprise. Two weeks ago she was diagnosed with leukemia and then she passed away this past weekend. So sad. So here I am at work, all dressed up in my somber clothes (I tend to take business casual a little far most of the time) and I'm uncomfy. Just want my jeans and sweaters. But I dug out my jean skirt and luckily it still fits. Comfy - no. But it does fit.

Marcie, what a strange question if you ever committed homocide. I can understand if you were asked if you ever tried to commit suicide - but homocide? That's just plain strange. I agree with SweetPea, were you carrying an axe?

SweetPea, maybe Jazzy needs psycho-therapy for her behavior issues. I know after my golden was tortured and shot, my vet almost put her on prozac. Have you talked to your vet about the problem?

Oh, I suppose I should work. I really don't want to.
Marie

I'm doing better this morning. It was a very bad night, and this morning started off bad, but I'm feeling better now. I wasn't carrying an axe, just a cane!! Maybe she thought I was going to cane her. Oh well. Maybe next time. Hehe.

You guys are so great. I love being on this forum. I look forward to it every day.

hi all! jasmine pulled some more wallpaper off the wall grrrrrr. a bit hard to sell a house with chunks of wallpaper missing. i am looking into it and deciding whether to strip the walls (hideous colours) or just hid that part with a plant

the vet thinks jazz is 1 of a kind. never seen anything like it but there aren't any animal behaviourists in the area that she felt she could recommend. still waiting for the lady at the club to ring and come see her. unfortunately she can no longer wear the halter as the staph (sp) infection has spread on her face. all a bit much

ok off to have breakfast and read my mailorder clothes catelogue for stuff i like but can't fit !!!

hi ladies
bailey gives all the golden retrievers hugs!
he loves other dogs, and he loves walking me, but when he wears his harness he listens because if he pulls the harness pulls back a little.
I was so good today...stayed in my calorie range and exercised a little didn't have much time and still recovering from my terrible sinus infection.
Didn't binege or anything either!! so proud hows everyone else doing?
Hope all the pooches are well, I don't have much time to discuss today but be on again friday

I ate so much pizza tonight and birthday cake, that my tummy hurt,
and it wasn't all that tasty either...
i really hate when i do that!!

can i ask an opinion from you???

here is the house listing http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...px?id=51028489

i would like to know whether you find the colours ok or blech. i was thinking of changing the bedrooms to cream (currently cream/red, green, violet blue) or maybe changing the curtains. all costs money and takes time. any thoughts on whether the house looks appealing as is??? thanks everyone

take care i am off for a walk with the monsters

oh i forgot to go the next page silly me haha

jenny - was it your bday??? i love cake and pizza too. altho i really only like chocolate cake, fruit cake doesn't do it for me. hope your tummy feels better soon. boy do i know what that is like!!!

well done kristen on the good eating

Way to go Kristen!!! You're doing great. No binging is fabulous!!

Jenny, sorry about the tummy ache. It'll settle in a while. I overate big time a couple weeks ago - cake - and made myself walk 5 miles instead of 3. Thought I was going to fall over. I'm hoping I learned my lesson.

Went to my friend's mother's funeral. So sad. But I did something amazing. At the reception with the yummy, heartwarming (read fattening) foods, I didn't have anything. I WASN'T HUNGRY!!! So I didn't eat. Hoely smokes, did I finally learn?????

SweetPea, your house is lovely. I'm not a one wall brightly painted type of gal (soft and one color is my style) BUT I thought it looked very nice. Don't paint it. Being the type that doesn't go for that type of decorating, I could see the possibilities with what I do like. So will others. I would fix the wallpaper thought. Hiding it isn't honest. Beautiful kitchen and if the pups go with the house, you should have buyers in no time.
