How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

[becvan]

I'm having a good day. I got money today!!!:occasion: About flipping time! I'm starting to feel happier with the meds, yet I'm sleeping about 18 hours a day. That sucks. I feel like I'm babystepping myself out of some dark hole.

Anyways, a good day today.

Y&A: thanks for reminding me to post how I feel. Sometimes, I just forget and yesterday was one of those "I have no idea how I feel" days.

:hello:

Bec, that is wonderful news!

Pitt Bull, so sorry to hear you are having such a rough go. I am glad to see you are taking positive steps to help you and you seeing you need to. I don't see how being passive agressive is so horrible though and would not stress overly on that. So you are acting like most normal women do on a daily basis! OK, so you are not a woman but we fair fine with it for the most part... I am sorry about your wife, I hope she can hang in there for you. It is a hard road.

Meds are not hard for me to keep up with when I am not reducing the dose, when I am in reduction I can't remember crap and have to write it down.

My day... Oh let's just not go there today.

jods, I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only person that forgets their meds.
A white board would be a great idea, but again, just got to remember the "ticks" lol
I think that it is awesome that you are helping your hubby to remember his meds... with all the stuff flying around in our minds... it's so easy to forget to take those daily pills.

Nam, yeah I have a pill case too. Unfortunatly I have to take meds every couple of hours, but putting that case somewhere where I "will" go (like to my toothbrush) is a great idea.
Maybe putting the pill case next to the computer mouse might work, lol

Farmer, I'm assuming you are talking about Boo's strategy?
I agree, it's alot simplier (and hopefully more effective)
When I get myself off of the sleeping meds, I'm going to remember to try this.

Pitt Bull, don't dwell on the fact that they feel you may have more than just PTSD.
When I was diagnosed, it was with PTSD along with 3 other disorders.
It doesn't change anything, or make you "worse off" it is just the doctors way of trying to put a name to your problems, so they can hopefully help you.

scarlette, I love reading the poem section, I just don't have the way with words to write in such a beautiful and powerful way.
Painting is a small release for me.
But you are absolutly right, if pittbull can start writing out the thoughts it will help sort out things in his mind.


I've been going through the cold sweats all morning...
I did take my meds on time, but something just feels "off".
Oh well, I have the rest of the day to try and feel better.

Take care :)

LOL, wow, this just opened my eyes to how slow I can take to type out my posts, after I posted it, there were already 2 posts added before mine.
Oh well, at least I have the energy to be chatting right?

Becvan, I know exactly what you're talking about, somedays I just need a little "push" to remember about myself.
Money is good! always a nice stress relief,
plus, meds are going good... AWESOME!
Dont' worry about passing out for 18 hours, your body will catch up and hopefully things will normalize in a bit.

Veiled... oh one of "those" days...
dont' let it get you too down.
And vent here if you need it, that's what we are here for :)

Hehe, I just came from emergency. I have to stop taking my meds for a few days (until I'm awake again) then go on them every second day. Guess I'm not supposed to be sleeping this much. For such a little dose it has quite the wallop. I guess the bloody things build up in your system and since I have no tolerance for chemicals, it just flattened me. The bright side is this is the most sleep I've had in over six years! I feel good sleep wise! hehe

I know hat you mean...

sometimes I'll take a sleeping pill at night and then in the morning I am like no don't wake me up now it was so peacefull. I can see how some one would say to themselfs maybe I could take one during the day. I thought about it once and then I thought well then what if I liked it to much and Just slept forever.Needless to say I decided that would be selfish and I could end up dead.

 

[YoungAndAngry]

Yeah, I don't think sleeping forever would be a good thing, yikes!
I'm glad the medication has been sorted out.
What kind of sleeping meds were you on? (if you don't mind sharing...)


Boyfriend and roomates decided to stay home from work tonight,
so it's a full house... not so used to this

Morning went great, much work accomplished. Afternoon I was spaced out, agitated and couldn't think straight.-frustrating. Napped for 1 1/2 hrs. This evening went extrordinary well. I was willing and capable of communicating. As for sleep, not so sure how that will go.

 

[cdunny]

scarlette, if I take a sleeping pill I like to take it about 2 hours before I go to bed, that way I still have wind down time and go to bed tired. Plus I dont wake up as groggy. If Im planning on going to bed at 10 I will take it at 8 and by 7 the next morning when my daughter wakes up, its usually worn off.

Geez bec.... careful careful.... your only a little girl and all... pretty much the same happens with kerrie... whatever the recommended does is, she halves it for her small size and the way medications knock the hell out of her.

Hehe, they can't even halve this. I'm already on the smallest dose possible (my doc is used to me LOL) so now it's every couple days and if that doesn't work then every three days... we just keep cutting until I'm okay. Silly eh? Poor Kerrie. I can commiserate. It can be a real pain...
