 I don't know, I just wish it would all go away. I feel up one day, down another, feel like I can do it all without a doubt,lonely,depressed,sad,tell myself one more day, this could be the last straw and end it all. This goes on and on each day I am not sure where I am or what I should do or be.  I journal my thoughts with tears and saddness, so I take more pills or drink or try something to deaden the pain.  It gets harder and harder each day. 

 

 I am alone and I have two grown daughters and two grandchildren. I don't want to burden them so I just go on.  I go to my dr. and she ask questions and I tell her it is all ok.  I know in the inside, it isn't.  I am afraid if I tell her what is really going on, she will send me back there (hospital for depression).  I just cannot take the chance.

 

My meds were making my mind cloudy, so the last 10 days, I have cut down the dose to see if it will clear the foggyness.  My job performance is at risk.  So, I lowered the dose and my hyperness is kicking back in and I am feeling sharper.  I dont know.  Maybe I should just stop all meds and see how I do.  Maybe it is the meds that are making me feel so bad?  I don't know.  I just hate it.  I wish I had someone to talk to who would understand.  I don't know what the use is.
