So the Doc prescribed an ancient a/d called amitriptyline that I'm to take 10 mg at bedtime and along with the 150 mg of wellbutrin I take in the morning for a few days then eventually be completely off the wellbutrin. I actually believe that stuff made me worse. Anyway the a/d I'm switching to will be increased probably. It appears from my history, according to the Doc, my reactions to a/d are usually opposite than most people. He says 20 % of people who take a/d have this reaction. So 20 % of the a/d population have their brain in upside down ? !! WTF ? My husband is really leary about me taking a/d's, he's scared that in twenty years, I'm going to have a third ear growing out of my shoulder or something.....
All the better to hear you with my dear.....
So it occured to me....maybe my situation is closer to peri-menopause symptoms rather than chemical inbalance.
Hmmmmmm.
Or maybe the state of the world is making me sad. :-(
Do they still do electro-shock therapy ? Gawd, I'll do anything for a buzz.
Ok that was bad. ;-)
I'm ready to throw in the towel and go smoke one...but I won't because I'm stubborn as h e double hockey sticks. (Hey, hc, how's that for talking Canadian, eh?)
I believe it's 77 days today. Go meeeeee !
Good job on all that laundry, JoJo, my goal tomorrow is to meet or beat that record ! LOL Are ya in for a little competition ? Bring it on, girlfriend, hey, goals are important right ? I'm so far behind in laundry but oh how I miss the joy and satisfaction of it all.
Have you heard my song ?
While doing laundry one must assume the position and sing to the tune of dancing queen by abba:
She's the laundry queen, hot and CLEAN
She even uses bleach, oh yaaaaaa
She can pre-soak, she can dry, havin the time of her life....ooooo
See that girl, watch the clothes whirl, are ya diggin' the laundry queen ???
Copywrite 2002 Wonderwoman LOL
Weird Al Yankovich, eat your heart out.
Oh btw I have loose crickets wandering around my house, they are food for the pet geckos and the little boogers escaped and now I officially have the job of capturing wayward crickets. Who says stay at home moms don't work ?
Do you think this mission will enhance my resume ?
Anyhoo, I'm just passing the time here.... then I'm going to watch disgusting tv, like nip/tuck and sopranos. Could you imagine the great tv that would be if these shows were combined.
Sean McNamara: "Tell me what it is you don't like about yourself, Mr. Soprano."
Tony Soprano: "What the (expletive) did you just say????!!!!"
"(expletive) you!!!!!!" (pulls out weapon) Bang !!!
Tony Soprano: "Gun beats knife,.... I win, you (expletive)."

upside down? I don't know about that, maybe the left and right halves just got switched, LOL
Gotta love your new extreme sport though, Internet competitive laundry, but doubt espn will pick it up. (oh yea, jojo you go girl!)
If it cheers you up any my current project is trying to get farmers to turn their soybeans into diesel for their own tractors, etc. Help fight global warming and help family farms at the same time! Know any soybean farmers? lol.
Let the gekos wander the house and find the crickets on their own.

regarding tony soprano, never saw the show but i see him often at the playgound with his son. nice guy, hilarious to see him. just a guy but he's tony soprano.
well today i topped the laudry loads by working CLEAN for over 6 hours and produced good work. amazed myself. jonesing all the time but did it beautifully.
it's good.
i've notices my skin tone (which is fine) but changing for the better too. the bags don't have bags anymore.... good huh?
i still want to get high too, isn't that sick? i don't know how you do it with the stuff in the garage. will power and your hockey sticks!
i am 48 and going thru perimenoapuse. not fun believe me. and it only gets worse i hear. but the chemical stuff is there nonetheless. i felt like crap all my life. the hormones only enhance it. don't rationalize it, try the meds. with all the stuff you've taken and abused you won't get a third ear (i don't think). my aunt had electric shock and it was awful to see her after. she had it many times in her life. i don't think it's the way you want to go, though it helped her she paid a price. and aside from what they do to you which is gruesome you lose part of your memory. hey read up on it.
anyway some of my worst memories as a child, she'd stay with us after. then she had then when i was an adult again. oh no. scary. though sometimes it's the only answer and i don't think you are there.
again, read up on it....
you sound better, your husband is home. i hope he doesn't go away again too soon.
i'll be alone tomorrow. i want to get high but honestly can not think of a reason to do it so i won't. i keep thinking of what hardcharger said "who needs a monkey on your back" and my life is easier this way, just more difficult emotionally. 'they' say it gets better.... i'm riding on faith. i'm going to count my days now i think i'm near 30......amazing. i owe so much to this board. you guys are keeping me honest. :)

JJ- Tony or James, he's got a great smile.
It's really important to keep noticing the good things about quitting, you are obviously on the right track. Wow, 30 days, time flies eh ? When I quit cigarettes, I made a list of all the physical positives I noticed, and I kept it on my bathroom mirror.
You want to get high ? I'm getting high off Lavender, can't get enough of it, especially on my pillow. It is lovely stuff......
Yah, the hoots are in the garage, a lot of s*** is in the garage that is dangerous LOL, but it is too much work to "prepare" and it's much quicker to make ready-mix banana muffins after all.
My aunt is bipolar, I don't know if she had that treatment. I hope I didn't offend you with being so flippant about it. :-( But I will look into it. Sometimes I wonder if I have that PTSD, too. I spend alot of time in my head. My hubby has been instructed by our therapist to talk to me, express concern, when I appear to be in shut down mode. It usually means something negative is going on in my head.
It does get better, don't let my ramblings make you believe anything but. I'm trying to cope with a multitude of things, (mostly past events that logically I KNOW I can't do anything about) and having hubby gone stresses me out.
He brought me an ice cream cone tonight just because. Isn't that sweet?
Hey, I'm alone all day tomorrow too. If I go have a puff, nobody will know. Have you had that thought yet ? Then my next thought is, "Nobody...but ME....HELLO !" and I just don't want to let myself down. It's almost at a point where I think it would be scary to get high, like what if I get all paranoid and think my neighbors smell it?, or spend the whole time high wondering "why the hell did I just do that, that was stupid, nice going etc.... ?". Plus, then I'll have to come here and confess and feel shame and embarassment. %Which is so not like me, to have THOSE feelings % LOL Seriously, though, these thinking forward thoughts really work for me. because then I think what's the point? it's not worth the risk. Done is Done, some really great, wise person said that. ;-)
Everyone is going skiing tomorrow, even my crazy hubby who broke his leg just this past march !!!! Silly skinny stick snow surfers !!!!. (say that 10 times fast)
In between laundry loads, I'll check the board. Just come on by and babble on.....it helps to "talk" it out. You KNOW you can do this, look how far you've come. Remember this in your head : IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME.
Oh and another thing, I bought a subscription to "Discover" magazine. My point is I did something really "different" for me. I'm stretching my brain....I usually read celebrity mags, like jen saying brad has a "sensitivity chip missing" is so thought provoking. My apologies to brad and jen btw. Oh and james in case they're reading.
Oh my, scandalous ! LOL
I don't understand alot of what the hell I'm reading in Discover, LOL, my husband is the scientist, I'm the former drama student with remarkable spelling skills...... but I'm stretching....and that's what counts........

thank god that my compulsion to smoke have been removed. i am always so grateful to be off the stuff in the beginning. first of all i know my lungs are healing from the constant smoking. i am so "there" in all my relationships with people, it seems like I am 10x smarter and I see the truth in everything so much better, but that is what i thought when i was high.
and i do believe there are some psychological/spiritual benefits to smoking, but smoking to me is all about waken/bake, all day long, running around, the initial 15 min.'s of good high, the fading, the oh, i don't like this and i want to feel normal again. who the heck needs it. just like i am an alcoholic, i am a weed addict in a very sick way, sicker than most people i know.
see - life is all about the expression of your soul. that little thing inside you. and when you are expressing your soul in the proper way you will have energy and as the big book says "intuitively know how to handle situations which previously baffled you". when i get high all day everyday i can't look people in the eye, i can't even look myself in the eye, because at heart what i am doing is wrong and my soul knows it, even though i might justify it and say it is okay. blah blah blah. there is a deep part of me that knows, that i am doing wrong.
and it is not about the law or this society.
i know you guys have these doctors, and i respect that, sort of. but personally i don't trust them whatsoever. it is a very hard thing to be a doctor who works on mental/psch issues, it is very hard to cure these problems with a little pill, and i have very little faith that these little pills cure anything. personally, i think god gave us marijuana as a better cure. there are truths that it teaches you. what truths does these pills teach??? but the trouble with pot it is so good that many minds wants it all the time. and now you are in addiction.
right now i am trying to "brainwash" myself, i am reading the scrolls of the Greatest Salesman in the World, 2x/day, 1 wk each, that is part of what i did 24 yrs ago to recover. exercise is huge, that works on that chemical imbalance in your brain better than anything. another thing is eating properly, not too much fat, not too much coffee.
i don't mean to condemn coffee, because i think it is fairly harmless overall, but smoking pot winds me up, i wind up, come down, wind up, get that euphoria, on off. and drinking 3 or 4 cups of coffee does the same thing, i don't want to be wound up anymore, but i am having trouble.
here i am at 2:42am, i was at this real nice party with my wife, in a nice neighborhood, and that wound both of us up. i wish i can come down, i think smoking all this pot screwed my brain up, and wound me up.
did you ever notice how some Old druggies are still sometimes so hyper, even though it might have been years since they did it, but then again, i have been fooled by some that looked like that and turns out they never did a drug.
so no, i don't trust these mind doctors(esp those that prescribe), but they have a very hard job with limited resources. and you don't have to defend yourself, because believe me i'm wrong all the time, and each case is different. this special meeting i go to is at a famous rehab, and i've been going on and off for years there, and i met so many people that they had to put this alcoholic or drug addict tag on and make them jump through so many bulls*** hoops, i don't trust them and really i see them as evil, although maybe our society doesn't have any better options.

EVIL DOOERS
Hello guest, thank you for inspiring me to write. It's very healthy for me to get perspective on why I'm here. The brainwashing is a good thing, for a change isn't it ? I brainwash with affirmations on ocassion. "I'm getting better." is simple and it gives me a rush. :-)
For me, I can't imagine just popping a pill everyday and expecting to "feel better". I have to work at it, too. By doing pschotherapy because it worked for me, before, for a very long time, I have to hold on to HOPE. I hope I can get on the right meds and become a functioning member of society.
You see, when I started smoking weed and tossed my meds, three years ago. I made a choice. I chose to give up. I chose to believe pills are a crock, why ? Because my cousin was on pills and did therapy and he still died.
So in my mind all was lost....because he killed himself anyway. My anger and fear took over and weed was comforting. Lo and behold, I found out later he had a drug/alcohol/porn addiction too.
I took a long hard look at my family history. Interesting that there's alot of mental illness and addiction stuff there. What a huge blow to my ego that I may be a drug addict, yes, even with a "harmless, soft drug, like weed" and hey there's a pretty good chance I'm nuts too.
For me, I have to do both medication and therapy. That's just me. And my mom and dad pray alot, because they love my sorry a**.
So I guess God is in the picture whether I want him there or not.
Exercising and eating right..., absolutely imperative !!! And my brain knows this logically.....but my body doesn't want to get out of bed most days. What's the point? Goes through my head. So to make a proper meal and work out is a huge effort and obssessing over my dead cousin/multiple sexual assaults I never dealt with and trichatillomania can't be healthy. I'm not an expert, but it sounds like a depression/mental illness to me.
I seem to be doing well regarding making sure I at least eat breakfast and I walk for an hour once a week with a friend. For some they may label me as lazy, for me, I'm a champion. Why? because it's progress.
It's really difficult to go through each day, knowing that what would perk me up is in the garage. At least that's what my addict brain says. It's like I'm choosing to live in pain rather than just taking the easy way and go smoke one. Except I know now that the weed is a lie. And sometimes the truth hurts.

ww- well then i'm nuts too. really.
regarding suicide and your cousin, i think suicide is just the hardest kind of death to digest. my ex bf (before my husband) ended his life shortly after i got married (nothing to do with me) was and is still hard for me to get my head around it. he was an drinker and couldn't stop, didn't want to stop. i spoke with him shortly before he died and he said he was having a mid-life crisis. i talked to him, we still laughed, i still adored him.
he had broken up with me a few years before and i was devestated. he told me not to take it personally that he had problems. i laughed, how do you take someone not wanting to be with you not personally??? and i did take it personally i would fake happiness whenever i ran into him, on my darkest days i would muster a smile and lie. the day i got the call he had killed himself i stopped taking it personally. yet i'm still grieving him.
handsome, smart...... i wanted to marry him and i would have. he pushed me away... he couldn't deal with himself let alone me and my problems....
and i still think how could i have helped him... how could i have ..........????
but even our last conversation before his death he was so glad to hear from me, he told me i made his day calling to tell him a silly story.
what i'm trying to say here as a person who has had much death of relatives and peers and friends to illness and one tragic accident involving a train...... the suicide think is hard, hard, hard to understand what it takes to do that..what pain drives someone to that. on and on.....
(not to mention the cancer diagnosis of my cousin whose doc thought it was gall stones and wasn't but a rare cancer and he died within a year. how unfair that too seems). i wanted to save him too.
me too i dwell on the deaths. this time of year especially. i think you are too after what you wrote to me yesterday. but ww let them rest in peace. and you go on with your life. keep them in your heart.... in a dream. your cousin had problems that you could not reach. my ex had problems i could not reach. not simple to compare i know but .....
we have our lives, our children, husbands....
let's be clean and clear.... take our meds and live.
i'm going to repeat the buddhist thing i put on another thread.
ten thousand flowers in spring,
the moon in autum,
a cool breeze in summer;
snow in winter.
if your mind isn't clouded by
unneccessary things,
this is the best season of your life.
(wun-men)
breathe. we are here and whole .... and stay away from the garage:)
