I’m starting to feel really ill-prepared to do my job again.  It seems like every time we switch to a new activity or project, I feel extremely anxious and worried.  Today I was supposed to launch the research project, but it didn’t happen b/c (as usual) my students took longer than I expected to finish what was to come first.  At lunch today I met with the other teachers involved in teaching this unit and I felt that paranoid “Are they testing me?” thing in my head when they were showing some statistics about water.  I had to talk myself out of the thoughts.

I’m messing with my medication–I admit it.  I’m just so tired of being fat; I really want to see if not taking my Abilify will reduce my appetite any.  Last night I didn’t take my Geodon either, and the night before, I took nothing because I was so drunk, I basically passed out.  (Not like me…)

Right now I have to go to yet another meeting that makes me feel paranoid.  I hope I don’t experience those feelings.

Just Be

I’m feeling sick and just so anti-social–dizzy, too. WTF?  Heading to San Diego for the day and night to meet up with my husband’s family.  Not sure what we’re going to do there, and I have work I need to do in the car or tomorrow.  Last night I drank red wine and felt good and relaxed for the first time in forever.   It makes me miss what it feels like to be normal (not that being slightly tipsy is normal for me–it’s just that I could kind of forget about my stressors) and just be.

I don’t know what to do about my meds. I’m still so unhappy about my weight, and I don’t feel happy, relaxed, or good.  I feel rather sick and antsy.  Not sure when my next appt. with my doc is, but I know he’s going to be stumped about helping me.
