Good eats... at least, they once were.

I'm on Wellbutrin too... please explain what you referred to above... the "lots of people go off it once a year" thing???

What I meant was that lots of people with bipolar disorder tend to get manic-y and agitated this time of year anyway, so since wellbutrin is an "upper," they don't really need it because it makes them more agitated and manic. They were prescribed it in the first place because they tended toward depression in their bipolar. If you were prescribed it simply for depression, you probably wouldn't need to go off it because you don't have a tendency to have extreme mood swings in the opposite direction. However, if you do start feeling overly hyper or agitated or restless, you may want to ask your doctor.

Oh joy...
I went to get my blood drawn today to check my lithium levels, annnnnddd.... I definitely passed out. :blush5: I was so embarrassed! The woman was so nice and gave me a juice box and wouldn't let me leave until she thought I looked better. My mom and I went to chick-fil-a after for breakfast, and we thought she was so nice and she was there all alone and was having such a hard day that we got a 4 count chick'n minis meal with hashbrowns and a coke and we drove back over there and brought her breakfast. So that made me feel better.

I have to write out a rough draft for tonight... Blahhhh...

I'm so tired. I'm not used to waking up at 7:30 AM. I think I need a nap, but I don't want to procrastinate... but I think I may need to, because I can't focus. :(

Bah. Sleep!!

Oh Annie! Im glad that you posted I was starting to worry! Im sorry you haven't been feeling your best! How has your weight loss been going, are you maintaining?? (cuz if you are I am jealous!) I hope things settle down and your able to post more and take a breather!
 
Ah shit
I typed out this really long post and then I clicked next and somehow it got deleted. Welllllll... I'm not gonna type it out again. I'll try to tomorrow though.

Blahhh...

Uhhh... sorry for not really posting much, but I've been pouring myself into my research paper. I have 4 and a half pages. I'm SO CLOSE!!! :svengo:Gah.
And now it's time for bed, but I just thought I'd let you guys in on what I've been up to.

<3
 
Hey! Well done for being so dedicated to your research!

I've been wolfing down chocs and chips for a few days now, and am trying to pep myself up again. Hope the work goes well, check in again real soon!

Hey Annie! Its been a while, I hope everything is going good. I miss you and wish you'd update more! I know school and life has been busy for you, and hopefully your finding sometime for yourself!

take care,

Come back soon!!!
 
Ah... I fell off the wagon... in a big way.
I'm getting back on though!! No more eating crap.
Bah.
 
AAAAAAArrrrgh!!! Why so many ups and downs!!!! :willy_nilly:

Although the ups are worth it... and hey, the ups seem to getting more and more up the harder I try...

So I think we can get past this and live our live fully.

:hurray:
 
haha... I've been bad.
I've been sick, and there's been so much temptation with birthday cakes and birthday cookies and easter cookies and all that delicious crap.
It was my mom's birthday on the 16th, and then it was my brother and sister's birthday on the 19th. my mom got a cookie cake AND a chocolate cake with buttercream icing, my brother had lemon cake, and my sister had "Heavenly Chocolate Cake" (which, interestingly, I don't actually like. it has pecans in it and it's way too sweet!!) but there was easter, with easter baskets full of hershey's kisses and jellybeans and PEEPS... I ate my whole bag of kisses one night in class... it's gotten ridiculous, but they took the milky ways out of the vending machine at school, so I think it'll be okay from now on... I just need to stay away from the fritos.

blahhhhh.... maybe if I just keep typing I won't get up and get a bowl of chips (or some sugar cookies)... I need to work on my paper....

<I'll check my email, Anke! ;)>
 
hehe, glad to see you back!!

Couldn't locate your email address as I've changed jobs and hence changed email accounts, hehehe.

Don't worry, Easter happens (EVERY YEAR!!!) Oooooo, alll those cakes make me wanna go bake something up and EAT IT ALL!!! muhaahahahaha!!!

SEE, WE ALL GET LIKE THIS SOMETIMES... SOME MORE THAN OTHERS.

We are slowly learning how to handle ourselves around food and how to eat for our health instead of our happiness. But it's not gonna happen all at once, and there are gonna be fuckups. The point is we are RIGHT BACK ON THAT HORSE BIATCH!!!

Ok, that was my butt-kicking pep-talk :)
