When the bad mood rolls in......

-
It is official. I am in a shitty mood. A lot of factors have contributed to it. But my wedding anniversary is tomorrow. This is a big part of it. I deliberately scrambled up the work weekends so I would on duty working.

Technically, we are married. I haven't felt married in months. For weeks, I have been planning for when JJ comes up here at the end of April. I found out last night that hubby might try to torpedo this. And a foul mood went completely shitty. For the first time in weeks, I skipped dinner and went straight to bed. I stared at the ceiling for hours before I finally fell asleep at 3:30 a.m. Today, I am grumpy and exhausted but I did eat breakfast. And I know I shouldn't have restricted. I was just sad mommy.

I couldn't talk to the hubby about the situation because JJ was within earshot. So this is where things stand. I am interested to see what the hubby's problem is. Right now, we both have very sick mothers. His mother is dying of lung cancer. I am trying to be nice but I'm not giving up that weekend. I have earned it. So I will keep you posted on the situation.

    You are tired but earing a cute sweater!! You totally cracked me up with that!

    I remember husband and I were apart by 3500 miles for most of the summer and part of the fall of 1994 when I was staying with his elderly mom in Canada, and I about went nuts that summer! Long distance marriage sucks.

Stopping a downward spiral

In the past, my birthday has always been a trigger for me to relapse or get anxious. But for the past two years, my birthday has been my birthday. A day to celebrate my birth.  Around Thanksgiving, I started feeling different. December was just a month of misery. I now realize that my meds had stopped working. So here I stand at a crossroad--I can increase the dosage and continue on my merry way or not. Remeron not only stabilizes my mood but gives me an appetite.  I haven't had one since Thanksgiving. I eat based on time. If it is 7:15 a.m., it is breakfast. By noon, I must eat lunch and dinner between 6 and 7 p.m. If I increased the dosage, the appetite comes back for awhile  but I will gain more weight. This is why I was taking Seroquel to help with anxiety.  I don't think there is a enough Seroquel in the world to deal with my anxiety. And while my therapist is being helpful, he admitted this is beyond him. So we are looking for a therapist outside of the area...

Disturbance in the world of Jack

Let me start by saying that I am okay. And considering the way crime is in RR, it could have been a lot worst. I keep odd hours. I can leave for work at 7:30 a.m. and sometimes I don't come home until 8 or 9 p.m.  Last Friday night, I actually got done early at 5 p.m. and went to the grocery store. While at the store, I debated canned peas or frozen peas (very important later). I ended up with canned ones because the frozen brand I like was not at Food Lion. I drive home in a fairly decent mood because I will be home before 6:30 p.m. and can watch the news. I live on a street with lots of duplexes and kids. The road running parallel to my street is very busy, no sidewalks and no street lights. People walking tend to walk in people's yards so they don't get hit by a car. Plus, pedestrians and bikers in RR, don't wear light colored clothes at night. This puts them at serious risk for injury. This is a personal pet peeve of mine.  I pull into my driveway, park in front...

RR is alive with the sounds of music

-
Music is key in my life. I don’t know what I would do without it. As a teenager, I loved to make mixtapes for friends and families. And now, I love making mix cds to listen to on long road trips home or when I am out covering NH county. I guess along with pens, magazines and libraries, music is my thing. Most of the time, when I am writing, I like to listen to music. My favorite thing is to turn on Itunes radio and just listen to various songs. It is how I discover musicians like Evans Blue or Sia. It is one thing that remained throughout my struggles with my ED. I never loss my love of music. Sometimes it was the only thing that could calm my mind when it was consumed by thoughts of ED. Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought. --E. Y. Harburg Some of my favorite memories are tied to songs. I can remember my feelings being at that Dave Matthew concert. I can remember how I felt seeing my mom dance to Earth, Wind and Fire and Chic...
