Sorry, haven't had much time on the computer. Rob (hey, I don't think I've ever called him anything other than "fiance" here) is still waiting on his laptop. He is on here pretty much all day. He is in to things like photo-shop, designing web pages, all that technical stuff. So I haven't really been using the computer much. I have been reading the posts when I can. I don't usually have time to reply. I figure since he is in the shower now, I can at least say hi to everyone all at once.
I'm sure when I'm back "full time" I'll have plenty of things to whine about. I'm making my list now, so be prepared :-)
I hope everyone is doing ok. Dinah...I read your post "its always embarrasing". I agree with everyone who replied, you have seem/seemed just fine here. But I understand how you feel.
I am sleeping good. I haven't been getting to sleep until about 3 a.m., but I've been waking up between 11 & noon. So, my sleep schedule is a bit off, but at least I'm getting my zzz's. I wake up feeling really lazy though. I look at the clock and think "lazy bum, quit sleeping the day away". Luckily I'm not working at this time. When I do get a job, it won't be first shift.
Well take care everyone. I'll check in soon.
Jodie

Thank you. I'm still sleeping OK. Lately though I've had this intense aggitated feeling...like I just want to pace the floors, scream & pull my hair out. I've been getting these feelings mostly in the evenings, and for no exact reason. It's almost a feeling of rage. That is the main reason I was put on Klonopin a couple of years ago when I was diagnosed w/ bipolar disorder. Now these intense feelings are coming back. I think I better call my pdoc first thing Monday morning. I have some xanax for emergencies, and I haven't had to use it in a long time, until recently. Now I'm using about 1 mg a day (.25's 4 times a day). This has been going on for 3 days now. I don't think I'm ever going to be "stable". Sometimes I just feel like all this treatment for me is a lost cause!!!
Sorry, I needed to vent
So how are you? Sleeping ok still? How has work been?
Take care
Jodie

Hi Tony!!!!
Thank you for the reply. Sleep is still good, thats about the only thing. I've been having really vivid dreams/nightmares though. I wake up feeling exhausted & freaked out.
I've started the whining. I just replied back to Dinah, and complained about my stupid life!!
I'm depressed because my birthday is March 5th, and I'll be 27. I want to be a little girl again. I'm sick of the responsibility of being an adult. I remember when I couldn't wait to grow up... please, what a joke!!!
You say you're not doing "the best at the moment"? What's up?
I couldn't help but laugh at the "hi Rob". He hasn't said anything, so maybe he is not reading the posts.
Well, talk to you soon!!!
Take care
Jodie

Well, you answered the question I asked below. And I asked because what you described sounded awfully familiar.
I'm glad you're calling your pdoc. This seems like a medication issue, and it's good that you're taking care of yourself by calling. Perhaps your recent bout of insomnia triggered something.
I know I'm now paying big time for trying to squeeze a few extra hours in the day. But mine was on purpose, so i can rightly kick myself.
Take care, Jodie, and remember that this too will pass (but more quickly and pleasantly with the proper meds).

Hi Jodie, I see fewer late night posts from you lately and I think that that's good (?). So tell me...after my week last month isn’t nice but barbaric at the same time not to have pc at fingertips. Did you, too, forget what books were as I did a bit????
Oh, maybe messages were read and he your finance realized this place is not exactly a pick up spot and that your posts do not seem to be provocative.
"See" ya soon,
