Y@A hi

Well I hope that me talking about my face did not set you off.Really do you think those nightmares are worth a hoot? do we have to pay attention to them.I don't pay attention to mine any more or let them scare me any more becuse if I do it feels like I am entertaining my fear. Hope your feeling lots lots better.Your a sweet heart.Maybe you should just go back to bed.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have a sick child at home, have a dutch test, have to ready the car for a trip tomorrow, load up all the summer stuff in the truck, wash dishes etc.. Plus the new therapist today.. My brain is just whirling right now..

So, I'm going to enjoy some coffee, watch some Dr. Keith, and try and relax for an hour then tackle everything one step at a time...

It's gonna be a long day and I'm exhausted. I'm not sleeping again. Guess it's time to start on the meds already. Damn.

Bipolar anyone! I had an aquaitance that had that and at first They were giving him the wrong meds.He was as hyper as hell at night. time was an attention getter and then tried to kill himself in front of us.I saw something online About some one who was diagnosed with ptsd and the they changed it to ptsd!What if a person could have both?can that even be treated?I have a distant relative that I'm sure she has bipolar Not sleeping sucks! She would not let me sleep.

My week has shot up this evening/afternoon. I got a nice long nap and feel like I am pretty much bouncing back out of the crash from my trigger. The kids are yelling and not doing chores and I could careless, at least I am not letting it get to me! Let hubby have at it when he gets home soon to deal with, mean huh?

I am in a relaxed state of mind for a nice change! Feel like curling back up in bed, but not in the depressed way, just lay down enjoy my soft bed and the breeze; let my troubles just float away. I haven't felt this well in a long, long time. Thanks for the support guys, would not have been able to do it without everyone of you!!!

Had kind of a numbing day. The paxil is really kicking in, but my body is still trying to get use to it. Only been on it for a few days now. We are in the process of moving so my hubby packed boxes all day long. I just layed on the couch all day. I wasnt stressed about anything, but I could tell it bothered him. He kept asking if I was depressed. I wasnt, I just didnt feel like doing anything. I told him that my body was still getting use to the meds and that I would be back to normal in a week or two. Not very convienient seeing as how were moving back to NC next week and at the moment neither one of us are employed and we have no place to stay. But oh well. My meds are not allowing me to get stressed about it. Not sure if thats a good thing or not. I feel like I went so long being stressed that once my body hit its breaking point, now I need time to heal before I can stress again.

I am kind of bummed about my dog though. I have had him ever since we have been engaged. Hubby got me the dog I asked for for 6 months when we got engaged. But he was old when we got him at the humane society. His health has deteriorated drasticly since the baby was born, and especially since weve moved out here. He has lost a lot of weight, and wont raise his leg to pee, and is having more accidents. I originally just chopped it up to old age because I couldnt afford to take him to the vet. But Today I realized he couldnt see. He can barely get around and he keeps walking into things. He cant even really smell or hear correctly. I feel so bad. My brother use to be a vet Tech and told me that it was because I didnt take him to the vet months ago and now he is getting worse and will die. I dont know what to do. My credit card only has a $200 limit and were barely going to have money to get home next week. This just hasnt been a great week. Although Im on meds and Im not responding to the stress, I know that it sucks.

Hey Scarlette,
Talking about your face was a trigger for me, but that's OK,
I need to be triggered sometimes so that I can figure this whole disorder out.
Did you just inherit the arthiritis in your face or was it the result of an injury?
I can totally relate on the facial pain though... it sucks!!!
Thanks for the advice, I did go back to bed actually.
Of course I had more nightmares... but at this point once I'm awake I'm fine.
It's just during the nightmare I'm so scared, and I don't wake up on my own.
My yelling wakes up others, and they usually come and get me.

Bec, I've been hooked on Dr. Keith for the past week or so, lol
I didn't catch todays episode though, I fell asleep before I could save it.
I hated it when I couldn't sleep, at one point I was staying up for days at a time... and the strange thing was that I didn't feel tired, I just craved it.
My meds helped sort that out though

veiled, I'm so glad that everythings going so good for you
And when you're ready to tackle another demon, we're here to help you through that :)

wildfire, I bet your doc is right, it's a new place,
you need to give yourself time to adjust
And Yay about Haley :)

cdbunny, adjusting to meds is always a rollercoaster.
I'm still in the numbing stage... but because I need it.
I ended up "breaking" a little while ago,
but things seem to be getting better :)
It's always so hard to lose a pet, or to see our pets hurt...
my Mr. Bear has a sore ear, and my cards are racked up too :(
(I've been using home remedies and it seems to be clearing up, *fingers crossed)
but the fact that you "saved" your dog from the pound, that's awesome!


Laid down with my boyfriend (he had just come off of night shift) and fell into a deep 7 hour coma, lol
Nightmares are just getting weird.
Once I wake up and open my eyes, I'm brought back to reality, and I calm right down.
But I usually just morph that one nightmare into another and another and another... if I'm not woken.
grrrr....
I'm trying to figure out a way to "signal" to myself that I'm dreaming... hmmm

Y&A

Seems like a pretty crappy thing for him to say to you! If he was old there is probably a very good chance that is all it is, you can't stop nature even if the vets can come up with a hundred ways to prolong life for a pet you may just be prolonging pain. Because that is what it sounds like to me, sorry to hear about it. Just think he isn't in a shelter and you gave him a home! You worry about taking care of yourself right now, that is all you need to do; let the meds get adjusted and you will probably be able to put things in a better perspective then. I hope you feel better soon and y'all adjust to NC well.

Hey YA - I've tried this too. Sometimes I am aware enough to find something that's not quite right in my nightmare - for example, a psycho drinking whisky out of a plant mister bottle! Doesn't always work, but when it does it's a huge relief to wake up and find myself safe.

for Cdunny:

I'm really sorry to hear that your old pal is declining. But just as the dog has brought joy into yourlife, you have done the same for him. He's had a loving home, got to watch your family grow. Getting old is inevitable, all the vet care in the world can't stop that. If you are concerned about having your dog tolerate the move and adjust to new surroundings (hard to do when you can't see) - talk to the local shelter. Explain your financial situation and ask if they can recommend a vet who can euthanize your dear old friend at a fraction of the cost.

Good luck with the move, be patient with the Paxil, it may actually take 4-6 weeks to reach a therapeutic level for you. I wish you a brighter light each day and a little more energy to face lifes' challenges with each new sunrise.

Hugs,
Boo
