Nice to see others are replying to this thread. The sierra redwood color of paint is having the desired effect. I haven't got the whole inside of the house finished painted but I am sure glad to get rid of the seafoam green color. The seafoam green color that was in the house was the same green color at the nursing home on green hall where I work. I have gotten rid of 90 per cent of the cobwebs and the Pinesol really makes the house smell cleaner. It is less dustier in here. I was surprised to find that my friend with the flat this morning is an artist. With her last few minutes on her phone she texted me that she wanted me to come back. The fix a flat all leaked out. She had gotten her little boy to school via another coworker but needed to get the tire fixed. The guy who sold her the car brought another spare. She didn't have a jack or spare in the car. I had a hydraulic jack but couldn't find my four way spinner wrench. While we were waiting out in the freezing rain we decided to go get some coffee. I paid her the 18 dollars I owed her since I found my wallet. Later we found someone had cut her tire. She told me that her friend was in the hospital and that she had stayed at the hospital till the last minute and that was why she was late coming in to work. They have had th worst luck these last few weeks she told me. I have decided since I have done all this painting that I want to build a little shed to get move the stuff out of my car and this house that I can't just seem to know what to do with. I really felt bad that my car had so much trash in it this morning when she sat down on the passenger side. I hope everyone's day has been good. It is nice to enjoy the night off.

sorry i havn'et wrote in a while.......i went into the hospital with a bad depression......one of my meds just quit working all of a sudden......but doing better now...........

Good to see you make it back, Amber. Have they changed your medication?

they too me off Abilify completely....put me back Effexor and upped my Lamictal, and gave Ambien to sleep at night

I hope there are no side effects and the Ambien helps you sleep.

Welcome back Amber.....hope this cocktail works better for you. Glad to hear you got the help you needed.

Eveyone else, glad to see you here....Twitch Hon, my mom is going through the exact same thing. They are going to lose thier property and new house they just put up. I so understand and hope you can find another job too. She is now working at an elementary school in the kitchen.

Ill say a prayer for everyone here....Karen

it takes me 20mg of ambien to get to sleep and 15ml of hydrol chlorate, im hoping there changing me to zaleplon, but i dont think theres much difference. I get immune to sleep pills within a few months

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I just want to join the conversation if you don't mind.

I was on sleeping pills for awhile and I am glad to say I've am pretty much off of them since retiring. All I can say is the STRESS was almost unbearable.

Debbi I hope you can figure out what's stressing you and come away from those pills it's dangerous!

Good to see you in the thread Madam, Twitch and Cleo. I am really sorry things are going so hard for you right now. I know the job situation is hard out there. I am working but sometimes I wonder how much longer, will have 5 years in on July 1, at the hospital, but they have been doing things like firing people, so I am just doing my best to stay under the radar. I do have one manager there that is awful and tried to get rid of me once before but it didn't work and I know she would love to still get rid of me, so I watch my back around her, believe me. Luckily, she is no longer my boss, hasn't been for the last 3 years or so, but she is still hateful and sneaky, can't trust her at all.

I really hope you find something soon, nothing worse than not have a job, especially when you are supporting yourself. Our government has screwed us over so bad by shipping all our jobs overseas, and the gas prices, and food and everything else going up so high. Gas just hit $3.33 a gallon today, supreme $3.51, at that is at the cheapest station in town. I don't know how they expect people to survive. That means groceries and everything else is going to go up again. Have you tried temporary agencies for some piece work just to keep some money coming in?? Good luck in your search.

Karen - sorry to hear about your parents and their house, that is awful, but seems like it is a wave hitting the country anymore. I hope they can work something out with the bank and save it.

Amber - welcome back, I hope the new med works better.

Roy - glad your painting is almost done. I can understand why you are changing the color of your walls, I wouldn't want my house walls the same color as my work either. How wonderful it will be when it is done.

Hope you are all having a good week. Take care. I will keep you in my prayers and hope things work out for you.

Hi everyone



I know I haven't been around lately, got lots goin on. My son has been sick with the flu and yep.. he gave it to me too. *cough cough cough*

anyway, I still haven't found a job, but I continue to send out resumes and fill out applications, I have even applied to job's out of state, something has to give.. and soon!

as for the sleeping problems I have been having, they gave me 200 mg of Seroquel and it knocks me on my arse! So yeah, I am sleeping at night, but when I get up in the morning my arse is draging bad...I can't ever 'wake up' I HATE it!!! I don't take it all the time, so there are still nights that I can't get to sleep until waaaaaaaaay late, BUT when I go 'wake up' in the morning i'm not dragin' arse!! No win situation on this one for me, I think

On a happier note.. I have met someone. He is the best of the best! We have been talking for just about a month on the phone, He just makes my day soooooooooo wonderful! The best part of all this is....he LOVES me for ME!!!! We are gonna meet sometime next month in person and I can't wait!!!


I will keep all of you in my prayers and Hope everyone finds some relief in life

Ive had to take seroquel before and it is a good one for sleep, but the side effects are not plesant. Maybe you cn have them knok the dosage down a bit. When they did that for me it wasn't so bad and I did get more rest.

Yeah!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you! I hope things work out for you and your guy!

I am so glad to see so many new faces here. Im glad that you all feel comfortable enough to come and share and or support......thanks everyone!

Good morning ladies, this is a great thread!

Marie, I was using not being able to get the dryer and washer back where they belong as an excuse not to clean the house. Another instance where my extremism has got me into trouble. So far I am immune to becoming a clean freak. I thought I had met a clean freak at work but she told me that her house wasn't that clean at home. When I replaced three curtains in my living room with mini blinds I picked up a blind cleaner. I bought a new computer chair; A vacuum cleaner that is powerful and bagless; And a 22 inch wide monitor for my computer. I rediscovered the long lost art and enjoyment of shopping. I am still getting rid of furniture that has just become catch alls. I have begun to start hanging stuff on back on the walls. I still have the kitchen to paint and my bedroom and the extra bedroom. The extra bedroom is my grief room because there is still stuff in there of my deceased. I feel that once I get the whole house clean I will feel better. The house is feeling like less of a mausoleum. The cobwebs are no longer sacred and the spider population has greatly diminished. One thing that I picked up from the so-called clean freak at work is the hatred for dust, cobwebs and disorganization. I am working with the concept that cleaniness is next to Godliness and a place for everything and everything in its place. I could just do without some places and those places are catch alls.

I am happy for you!

hope y'all are well............got a situation on my hands..........my mom's husband just told me a few days ago that he's in love with me......no i DON'T feel that way towards him and i told him that yesterday.........ack!

hi, hows everyone??

the preventitive meds to stop the cluster headaches were working, and now there not working, so im going back to see my g.p, only problem is ive got to wait about 3 weeks. my doctors is so busy.

im seeing my pyciatrist in 2 weeks, so ill update him them and see what happens. all i know is there NOT putting me back in hospital

Been in crisis for the last couple of weeks. My grades have dropped and I can't seem to get motivated. I think I am having a mixed episode. It is showing mup in my art.

My mind is manic and my body is depressed. This sucks and I am doing a walk in to the dr right now. I cant stand this. I have been upping my dosage lightly on a couple of my meds, but now I am out of klonapin. Bad news.

If I dont go now, I will end up in the hospital and loose everything Ive accopmplished this semester......I cant let that happen but leaving this world seems to be on my mind way too much. Im a fighter but we can win them all. Im trying to stay in touch with this world.
