morning all
Dear Connie, Hang in there girl. It will get better even if it doesn't look like it right now. I'm just starting to come out of my isolation. Prayers going up for you. I know what you mean when you say you don't want to talk to anyone right now while you're a mess.. That's where I was for the last 6 weeks as you know. But if I'm getting better so can you. And you will. Do you have an appointment coming up soon? If not, you know to call your doctor. Love to you, Mag
Mag...thanks for caring. I know you have gone through a lot too. Glad you are doing better.
My depression and suicidal tendencies come from triggered events from my past. Something happened last Saturday and I felt the past all over again (PTSD). I am working with my therapist. I saw her last week. Meds have been adjusted. I have people watching me closely. I will get through this eventually. It is amazing what the mind can do.
I appreciate your support.
Love and hugs....connie d

Good morning Terri, Carolyn, Laureen and Trish! And all my OFF sistas to come later this morning.
Trish, I'm with you. I didn't sleep well at all last night. Or, to be more specific, I WAS sleeping well until Christie rolled in at 3 a.m. and woke the whole household up! I don't know what she was doing, and I don't want to know. I told Butch I don't want to have anything to do with her for the next 3 days until he leaves. Then I'll have to deal with her for a whole month on my own. Sigh. But I'm taking advantage of having my DH here for the next 72 hours.
I've never had tips. Only ever had a couple of mani/pedis. I guess I'm just too frugal (a nice word for CHEAP!) to spend my money on myself. I always seem to need it for other people and things. Somehow my nails alway**** the bottom of the priority list! LOL! And now that I'm in full time granny mode, I have to keep my nails short anyway. I'm always scared I'll scratch the baby if I let them grow out.
Today I have to deal with laundry and bills and my checkbook. Bleh. But tonight we are going to see The Sound of Music, so that will be my reward for the day! I think Butch is going to take Benny to get a haircut this morning. It's a guy thing.
I also have a bunch of over-ripe bananas that I need to do something with. I'll freeze some, but I'm thinking of making a batch of banana nut muffins this morning. I would love to make a banana cake, but I don't dare. I would just be the one to eat it all. Not a good choice for me at all.
Oh, there's my baby! He slept late today. I'd better go get him.
Love you all!

Good morning all!
I am just sitting here at work munching on my sunflower seeds, drinking my bottle of water and reading the boards! I did complete my self review which has to be done annually so I can get my raise.
I slept fine till 2:21 when Rich decides to come to bed (he fell asleep on the couch) and wanted to have some fun, lol. Then he had to get up in a few hours to be at work for 5am. I get up at 6. I hate the days when he has to do this cause it messes up my sleep to.
Anyways, nothing special going on here today. Temps are suppose to be closer to 70 rather than 90 which will be nice. Give the a/c a rest.
Have a great day everyone!

Hi Terri and my OFF family:
Seems insomnia haunted us all ... I had problems sleeping because of my back. Chiro seemed to help but then I twisted my back or something and after that, I felt miserable. Took an extra flexeril to see if I could get it relaxed. It still hurt this morning ... I was up a little early to do shopping. I put ice on it, then took a shower. Funny, but walking around in the store seemed to help. Back feels better, but knee hurts now.
So freezer is stocked for another couple weeks and I have money to pay rent. All the essentials. ... and the gas tank is filled ... but then I have a small tank. I have something else to do but I'm going to rest for awhile before I go out again.
It's 97 degrees, feels like 103...but it's getting cloudy so maybe we'll get some rain.
Well, have a good day.

Hi Eileen and everyone: ditto for me re poor sleep last night, woke up 5 times between 11 pm and 7 am as whole body ached and still does, but we have a change in weather with cooler temps and maybe some rain so my body acts as a barometer. I also took a Flexoril at about 1 am as it usually makes me sleepy and usually manage to sleep well into the morning, not a problem now as I have no wor****il 8 August and can sleep in and not care about the effects ...Well, not much luck , woke up at 7 am after a restless and much waking, tossing and turning, and felt dopey and sore all day...Will try to go to bed early with a couple of glasses of red wine and another Flexoril to increase the effect ( usually does and I sleep really deeply for at least 5 hours). Last night just could not find a sweet spot which didn't have my body speaking to me about how everything hurts any position in bed. Hope tonight brings better sleep...to all of us!
Connie, I am thinking of you and praying for you! I am sooo glad you have a friend to turn to. Please know we are ALL thinking of you. If you EVER need to talk, or yell, or cry I can message you my phone number.
I take a doxipen (sp?) every night to help me sleep. I have gone from Ambian, to Ambian CR, to Lunesta and now doxipen. But I think after awhile it stops being as effective, so the doctor has to change me to something else. Even then, occassionally my mind just won't turn off. My RX says take one or two pills as needed. But at what time do I decide I need to take another one, and still be able to get out of bed before noon?
Our son and DIL are out buying a new car. Our grandson's old BMW has become a money pit. They don't want him off at college and breaking down. So he will take our DIL's 2 year old car, and she gets a new one!
Our daughter called. I swear her soon to be ex is bug a** crazy!! But that's another whole post!!
Connie, again, keep your support system available! Don't try to go it alone!

Aloha sweet Connie....I am so sorry that you have been going through so much in your life. Depression is a really serious condition, and I hope you can find something that will help you through this. I have dealt with depression for many years, and have gone on and off anti-depressants several times. Right now I take prozac and that really helps.
My 86 year old neighbor was down in her bed for months feeling nothing, wanting nothing, wishing for death. She finally agreed to take anti depressants, and after two months she is now up early every morning, dressed, showered, and ready for breakfast. Such a HUGE change for her....and it makes me happy that she finally found relief from her misery.
You are such a beautiful, warm and caring woman. If anyone deserves to be happy, healthy and free in body and mind, it is YOU! You are beyond wonderful....you are pure LOVE expressed daily to everyone here, and in your life. Please remember to love you, too. I sure do.
Aloha nui loa,
Maui Karen
