Thank you! She committed suicide February 6th of this year. I'm happy for her that her battle with depression and addiction are over, but I miss her. I am looking forward to giving her a great big hug in heaven and hearing her laugh again. She had a great laugh and could always make me laugh, no matter what.

Though I still can't believe it's real at times.

. . may the universe help me because I have an 11:00 meeting tomorrow/ Tuesday. Good luck with that. It is a small meeting and I have to be there and those jerks will be paying attention after I helped orchestrare the ""NO" vote last week on the same pile of garbage they "revised"" for us to vote on again tomorrow.

(Yeah, I am aware that I am not making sense but it helps to write it.)

Hi Mari That's both scary,and aggravating when you have a difficult time in synchronizing a medicine to be helpful,and not harmful. I hope that you figure out what dose is best for you. I hope that Tuesday goes well for you. BF

This is the same problem I have had with other medications -- The dose I take does not help. When I raise the dose, the side affects are difficult. I am sticking at the 400 until I no longer feel stoned. My goal is to get to 600 so I can evaluate if the med is helping for nerve pain and anxiety.

I am afraid to go to bed more than I usually am. I do not know what is happening.

I want to avoid dealing with the bed. Maybe it is too much trouble to brush teeth, wash a little, put on bed clothes, check this, check that, write notes to myself about what I have to do tomorrow.
. . find ANY WAY I can to distract my self and find something to do other than go to bed.

I am sooo totally losing it. I am not o.k.

Mari It sounds like fear,and obsessive mental activities combined. Checking things can go hay wire in the mind.

My ocd was getting worse when I checked things in my wallet,then it exploded into other obsessions about all kinds of things. I would think about something,and it would become a large problem in my mind,and distort in my mind.

I have a digital recording device with 18 worries/burdens recorded in it. I actually have 2 of these recording devices. If it's something that needs to be taken care of very soon,I write out a note,and tape it to the computer monitor.

Mari.

The things we go through.

Good luck at this meeting.

Whatever happens,you will get through this. BF

I think you are experiencing the end of semester anxiety, trying to finish up, get things done, ...just my thoughts. sorry that you are not well. I wish you would take yourself or go with a girl friend to the beach.
