Glad to hear it UT. And very well said, LJ.

Seconding the 'well said' and glad you're feeling better UT.

Glad you're on the way back up mate :)

Glad things are on the upswing, UT. Keep on keeping on.

I also appear to be on the way back up again, thankfully.

Still finding it almost impossible to get up in the mornings, but at least once I have persuaded myself out of bed I have been able to get a little work done. Yesterday i even washed my pots and hoovered! (vacuumed)

UT - you are a rock to me. Hang in there and know that this too shall pass.

I'm taking my kid to the doctor today for a checkup on his meds. His OCD is driving him crazy. If he doesn't do the rituals, he thinks he'll go to hell.

Infi - when someone is harshing you like that you look at them and say, "You are interfereing with my work," which is a work place no-no. NO ONE has the right to harass you at your place of work. Call security. Make a report. Report the asshole. That will give them pause for thought.

Jim, that is a tremendous insight. Thanks for that. You made my week. It makes Herculean tasks less intimidating.

wut jim sed.

Just keep on truckin'

I'm crashing again. out of nowhere. I was upbeat earlier. Had a really good day, so why the fuck am i just crying uncontrolably? My throat is hurting with it.

Is it possible you're bi-polar?

I dunno. Maybe. I think if I am it's mild (relatively).

See, now I am ok. Had an hour or so of feeling utterly shit. Actually that's not true. Here's the weird thing, I seem to be both up and down at the same time.

I dunno. Sometimes it's like there's a scream lodged in my throat. Then *snaps finger* whoosh. Am fine again.

Even a caffeine overdose can do that. Over 400 mg (a couple cups of coffee) and caffeine becomes a mood enhancer that swings you back and forth as your thoughts change subject. Something so simple is probably not case with you though is it.

*thinks*

I suppose it could be. Truth be told I drink a hell of a lot of coffee :p And tea...

It's also possible that the hydroxizine is having an adverse effect.

I dunno. I've always been like this. From being about 8 or 9 years old, I'd go through phases of this. Then I'm fine again. *shrugs*

It doesn;t help that I am out of pot ;p Usually I am able to self-medicate my way out of it lol

pure gold jim. thank you.

Maybe you're bipolar Dana. ;)

Seriously though, the feelings you describe sound very much like those my friend describes.

eta: oh I see someone's already suggested that. That's what I get for reading threads from the bottom up!
