I seem to be getting lower and lower everyday. I'm exhausted and don't want to do anything; if I could stay in bed all day, I would. I feel like everyone I come in contact with are just sucking the life out of me. I have so many things to do, yet, I'm unmotivated. I become overwhelmed when I think about all the things I could and should be doing. Everyone is ticking me off and I'm just really nasty to everyone. I hate this. I really do. I want to think about the positive, I do! But the little mr. negativity that sits on my shoulder tells me, why even bother. Same shit, different day. No respect, and I feel like I'm a door mat. I have the power to change things, but it just takes too much out of me and I just don't give a crap.
Sorry, didn't mean to bring anyone down. Just needed to talk about how I am feeling. Hoping it will bring me to a place where I will want to get out of this muck that is swallowing me alive.

I sound like a broken record, but...if the meds aren't helping, maybe you need to think about changing your course of treatment. Meds can make a person tired and unmotivated...they can compound the down mood that you already are feeling. If how you are living now isn't making you happy, then you must change. And just because you have a family does not mean that you are limited or trapped by your situation...you would have to really be dedicated to change, and get everyone to help out. The bigger kids can help, and so can your husband and other family members. I am sure that your family loves you, and would do what they can to make sure that your life is one that you feel is worth living.
You are a wife and mother, the heart & soul of your home...they need you, and you need them to help you. And all of us here at BPBabble need you too.

my meds are working, I have just hit a bump in the road. It will pass, hopefully soon, and I'll be back to normal.

I had a very shitty day at work and walked to the beach and stood int he water. It helps to be in contact with nature...shit even if you could manage a trip to the water park you might feel better. Make yourself go and you might have more fun than you thought. Hope this helps.

hey ashes... no change.  I've even been outside soakin up some sun. good news is, I'm not getting worse!  I'm just kinda stagnant at the moment. This usually lasts a few days, even a week sometimes. I think I'll take my 15mg Abilify tonight instead of my 5 and see how that goes. thanks for askin, I appreciate it. |
