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

[piglet]

Bizarre day! Have a cold, so took some cold & flu meds. Didn't realise it was full of caffeine. Oops. Felt very weird all morning - though nose had dried up. Also had a bit of a turn this afternoon. Was supposed to attend a meeting after teaching finished. Got to the room, but was told it would be 10 minutes before we could get in and get the meeting started. Couldn't stand it, so just turned right around and left! No idea why, but I just HAD to go. Most weird and unlike me - I usually withstand the "run away" thought that hit me in situations like that. Not today!

I'm thinking that it might be something to do with the SSRI med change as well as the cold meds!

Going to be in trouble tomorrow! My absence will have been noted!

YA, to me your medications are controlled, Scarlette is sounding more like she endorses pumping up on over the counter, off the shelf pain relief...

Scarlette, you have a lot to learn IMHO and a long way to go for healing, because at present, you only sound as though you on a destructive out of control binge path, none of which is proficient to manage PTSD, regardless of constant pain. Pain is one thing, PTSD is another. Either one should not be used as an excuse for the other.

Thanks Anthony, that was part of what I was referring to. The other half being mixing alcohol with the meds! Alcohol is a big no-no for those of us with PTSD on a good day, never mind mixing this with any type of drug. This is a very self-destructive habit to endorse in.

Well, today I was total b*tch. I know it. Don't you hate that when you know you're being crabby but no way to get out of it? Ugh. My hubby finally pointed out that numerous factors could have caused this. First of all, I drank waaaay too much this weekend and after taking my depression med, I proficiently put it in the toilet with the rest of the surrounding stomach contents and down the toilet. Sooo, I missed a day. I had a terrible nightmare early Saturday morning. So, not much sleep either. On top of that, my children are driving me CRAZY!!! And (I know, I'm being a rant.) it's Monday. I cannot wait for tomorrow.

Ok, done now. Thanks!

Ditto that!

I had a good day. I'm still very tired from the meds and my trip this weekend. I had a huge dinner (probably the most I've ate in a week) and even got about 300 pages of textbook read! Not bad. I even socialized a bit with family (hid for some part of it in the living room behind a book) and enjoyed myself.

A very good day for me and unusual too!! :hello:

Sounds like everyone is having a good day! That is great. Mine is so so. This AM was just fine. This afternoon sucked, still fighting with the girl. She snuck up behind me to startle me again. We have been through this a hundred times. She knows I will get a panic attack, but does that stop her? No, that is half the fun. The crap is getting old.

And the selective hearing. She is very slow on chores and homework. She is wanting to get involved in a project at school that my son had done in the past. Very hard work and tons of work. My son spent long hard hours on it and he is quick with homework and chores... So my husband and I will discuss it and tell her later yes or no. We said you are certainly intelligent enough to do it, but we don't want it to hurt your other classes, so we need to talk about it first. So that was turned into water works and her stomping up the stairs screaming you just think I am stupid. My son is in advanced classes, wants to be an architect, and this project also means getting an engineer involved. "future city". This was hard for him and this is up his alley. She is lazy, tries to get out of anything involving work, and I think she has no clue what she is getting into. I can barely get her to do her homework muchless things that will require real pain in the ass work! And we did not even say no. Just we have to talk about it, you're certainly intelligent enough to do it, but we don't want it to effect your other classes... What is with the teen girls??? Do they have a day they do not cry and throw a fit like a 2 year old? I mean it is neck and neck with the toddler and her on temper tantrums lately. At least the 2 yo is told no before she throws a fit.

And now she is saying she is fat. She is a twig. She barely ate because "she needs to lose weight". Why are girls so difficult? And why do they think they need to look like a heroine addict?

LOL. i actually slept about 6 hrs. last night! i have started getting off the lexapro. not supposed to be much trouble or side effects or anything. yay!

Thunderstorms moving through today, hail and tornadoes possible. Slept again, this is actually getting to be much at this point and woke with my head feeling like it was going to blow up. I am going to get my smaller dose zoloft refilled so I can split it and start weaning off. This is just BS. I swear it is making it worse. Depression is getting worse since I feel like crap not wanting to get up and do jack sh*t, the only thing I am doing these days is microwaving meals for the baby (it is effort for that) and I look through here and get my feelings out and mind clear. If it isn't doing anything why pay for it? The way I see it take a medication that is pointless and screws me up, or take that same money and buy a weeks worth of groceries! Or at least part time day care so the baby can play and not be stuck with me not wanting to... Better than her running around with my pot holders catching cats with them. Hmmm... to be 2 again. Poor cats came in to get away from rain, bet they wish they were out now.

Hmm, how am I? Isn't it amazing how tough of a question that can be?

I am very tired still. I'm not sleeping again. Grrr. I had therapy this morning. I always feel very exhausted and get nothing done on those days. I did cancel the insurance on my truck today and arranged for the car to get fixed. That's all good. I'll be ordering out tonight.

*sighs* too tired to care how I actually feel. How sad is that?
