Can I have another one? I'm hypersensitive, heart racing, distracted, disgruntled, and *gasp* what am I gonna do at the grocery store on the way home??? As it is, I keep my sunglasses on the whole time. I get cranky when I can't find what I want. I hate standing in line.
Those poor cashiers and baggers - they have no idea what's coming their way!
I know every day can't be great. I'm not depressed at the moment. Maybe my meds are making me overly anxious. I just to be somewhere else. Like home. And if I was there I would probably want to run out of the house. Maybe I just need a slap up side the head.

I doubt you need a slap upside the head. :)
It sounds like medication related stuff to me. Anything with norepinephrine does that to me. And I hate days like that.
The best thing about days like that is that soon enough it's the next day.
Here's to a better tomorrow.

Oh, Dinah Dinah you are so wise. A good dinner, a night of sleep, and a brand new day for me. It's this rollercoaster stuff that I find hard to get used to.
Maybe it was a figurative slap up side the head I needed!

Yup, I'm at work. I couldn't really ask for an easier place: I answer phones, sort the mail, make coffee (although it's not a "woman's" job), distribute faxes. And I have a pc with internet connection right beside me. I have been up front with my big boss about my Medical Condition in general terms. I have had so many days when I have been in tears here and unable to do my job. It's career-limiting but it's not much of a career!!! My p-doc thinks it's best for me to work, not that we could really afford for me not to.
A good day is one where I can actually concentrate on one task at a time. And my immediate boss and I have a crummy relationship.. Basically every time she talks to me about my work I bawl my eyes out. I'd be much more upset about it, but she seems to have that effect on other employees too! I just react rather more STRONGLY. I'm hoping that eventually she'll just stop talking to me.
Tell me about your art.

hello, jyl. Your son takes drum lessons.... you are pretty brave! I remember taking piano lessons when I was little. The teacher used to bribe me with candy to make me stop playing!!!! I had a great appointment with my T. She said she is impressed with how motivated I am to get better. Whatever. Anything is better than I had been.
I am going to try those morning pages tomorrow. What is it - you wake up and just write three pages of whatever is in your head É (question mark does not work on my eMAC!!!!!!) It sounds bizarre but I bet it loosens things up in the noggin.

U R kidding!!! You have to pay for music lessons. I am SO OLD. The football coach at my school taught band, fer &$@#*_*sakes.
He also taught math, which I failed. I worked for his girlfriend after high school. Talk about too much information!!! I am still traumatized.
I once sang at a basketball game in secondary school and forgot all the words. To an Anne Murray song, of all things. How unpatriotic!!! My stage fright definitely got the best of me. Now I just do not sing.
Help me sing again, jyl.
