Keep it going Amber!!!

Don't you just hate it when your head wants to do something but your body won't let you?...............

yup

What do you mean wildchic?

Hey Karen...how's it going? Finals go ok?

its called a mixed state, and it can be very frustrating

Well, I want to do stuff. Like help my Mom with Christmas...But my body don't want to respond...I know it's the depressing...I hate it.

hi, thanks. I guess so. They haven't released the grades yet

I could hardly get out of a chair 2 years ago. I learned something new I never heard of, and I have been in treatment for 30 years. My doctor told me that serotonin also helps control pain. he put me on Cymbalta to help with the pain and it did! I also started to take care of myself physically also. The Cymbalta didn't work for the depression though...so I got off it, but continue the physical active part and it seems to help.

I wish I had lots of energy.

Are you getting enough sleep?

sort of............When I wake up, I still feel tired.

I walk 16 miles a day and that has helped me alot with having energy. It also helps me sleep at night. If I can't sleep, I take a natural substance found in your body called Melatonin. It is non-addictive and cheap...like $4.00/bottle at Walmart in the vitamin section.

I know there are times when you probably don't even want to get out of bed, but you have to make yourself do things...it's tough but it helps.

WOW.....16 miles a day?......Thats awesome.

Well, went out for a bit and it made me feel better.

Glad to hear you are feeling better Wild.....

Thanks MB for holding the fort......

I feel like such a hypocrite, but it was too cute to pass up. I am so against the commercializm of this hoiday, but like I said, too fun to pass on.

Watch it, and if you have a slow internet connection, it will take a while to load.

I'm stuck on dial up for the time being until my modem gets here so I put a lot of time and effort into this. Hope you like. Commence with the laughter, and make your own.

We could start a thread with this of everyone who does this and posts thier link.

Had the appraisal on the house today, the guy told me he didn't think I would have any problems, but I don't know, am scared it won't go through. My daughter left tons of stuff here, have my parents stuff still here and I am going through it and sifting and sorting and getting rid of it, but takes time. I didn't realize he would take pictures. The outside of the house doesn't look good, a friend left lots of tools, barbecue, and other things on my deck and in the yard. House needs a new roof, and that is what scares me, they could stop it because of the roof problem. But not sure I can trust what he said, who knows what the bank will do. My garage needs to be torn down and I want to replace it with one of those little sheds, but need this money to do that too. Just so much hinges on this appraisal, I am so scared something will go wrong at the last minute. Should know by Wednesday as the bank wanted the report by then. I have been so stressed over this, need to fix things but need the money from the refinance to do them, too, so going crazy waiting.

Sorry for taking up the space here, this is nothing compared to what some of you are dealing with. This has been one of my biggest problems lately and has me trapped in depression, this along with dad problems, and all the others. Taking care of my dad has been really hard and stressful.

I am glad you are all hanging in there.
MB - thanks for keeping up with everyone. I don't seem to get on here until the middle of the night anymore.
Karen - hope you blew them away on the exams.
Amber - I am so glad the med is helping.
Wildchic - maybe that is what I do, I feel like I get trapped in my head, going over and over things in my head, and am so exhausted these days have trouble getting anything done more than making it to my job. (Lately, that has been an accomplishment.)

Jax - I am glad the Zoloft is working for you. And thanks for fielding that one with Jared. Most drugs have side effects but many of them can be minor when compared to the good they accomplish.

MB - 16 miles a day, wow, that is amazing. Wish I had your energy.

Take care everyone.

It is nice to have a day off. It has been so long. Glad I was able to work the overtime because it has helped me but every once in a while everyone needs a day off.

Could you get a second appraisal, Marie? Sounds like you are stuck in a loop. Are the appraisal person and the contractor to fix the house the same person?
