Well, I'm sick. Sort of. My throat is like a desert, and burns when I try to swallow. Yay pills! >:\ I'm eating slippery elm tablets, taking Vitamin C, and praying. I don't need to be sick right now.

I didn't accomplish much yesterday. Made some cookies. Washed the dishes. Updated my Ezboard graphics. Wow. I know I have stuff to do...but I'm playing the endless waiting game with money in the mail. Today I'm making still more cookies. Go me. It's either that or sit in bed and cry all day. So I'll bake. Hooray for mindless busy work.

Jason thinks my moods have been more even since I started taking the glucophage. Yeah, ok. Whatever. I feel like a yo-yo. Only even the high points are crappy, and when I hit the bottom you'd better not be around. I am ALWAYS in a bad mood now. Always. I feel like I'm wasting my life. Or maybe that it was wasted to begin with. Someone else surely could have made a better go of it than me.

I feel like standing water.
I feel blind.
I feel...I feel nothing.

Oh, hun ...

Glucophage can and will help with the diabetes induced mood swings ... but just like PMS, the guys in your life should learn to treasure the good times and duck durig the bad - and above all, NOT comment.

You'd think that men would have learned by now that it comes across like "Wow, you were a really moody bitch. I like you better medicated!". Which, BTW, Steve actually said to me after I went of my post-partum antideppresants. Oh, yeah, that fight was realllllly fun


It does suck. Badly. But it will get better, after everything stabilizes :-)

*nods* Merf. Some of it'll sort out. The rest is my very own bipolar goodness. Whee.

On a sidenote: Are you going to join up with Wolfmoon Coven at Lynna's?

This Thursday?? Unfortunately not - I'm still up to my ass in alligators :-)

Did you mean on a permanent basis?

Well...I did mean Thursday, but any other time would be good too. :) It would be so easy to meet people that way.

Poot on the alligators! They make nice shoes.

The glucophage works well on me, except for stomach upset in the beginning.

However, prior to the gluco I was given a different pill whose-name-I-regrettably-forget. That drug was supposedly similar in nature to gluco, yet it wigged out my emotions the day after trying it. I remember going out to eat with my parents that night, and sobbing uncontrollably because I didn't have a napkin. After that uncharacteristic incident, I went to my doctor and then switched to gluco.

Sometimes these drugs can play with your emotions in a severe manner. In such an incidence, be sure to tell your doc. There might be a better drug for you than gluco.

*cheekrubs and hugs!*

*cringes* I can so relate to that... Been feeling that way a lot lately, though in my case it's mainly to do with the money/business/job situation. But I'll tell you what I keep telling myself: things WILL get better. They have to.

*hugs*

One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
