This week is Psych Week on Discovery Health and there are some VERY interesting shows on Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, Rage, D.I.D. It’s definitely worth checking out, very informative! They are replaying everything throughout the day and night for the next few weeks. – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I’ve learned that I can only control my thoughts and my actions, minus some of my crazy thoughts due to being crazy… some control. Anyways, I shouldn’t worry about what everyone else is doing and saying because I can’t control them. If I want to be happy… I can be happy (w/meds of course). Do you constantly worry about what others are thinking or doing? Why? It’s none of your business, too much to worry about! Some people will love  you some people will hate you, fact of life. If you live your life the best way that you can and you’re happy with the person you are than that’s all that matters. Who cares if someone thinks you’re crazy, fat, short, skinny, medicated, bipolar, depressed, or have anxiety. You are what you are. Embrace every “crazy” aspect of who you are and make the most of it! If you don’t like something, change it. If you’re sad do something about it. See a doctor, review your meds, make an adjustment to your meds, exercise, eat healthier. Whatever it is that will make you happier… DO IT. For today I’m happy with me and happy to be right where I’m at… and that’s having enough confidence to let go of what others think of me because I know I’m happy & healthy – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Feeling good today  but I’ve still had some anxiety that presents itself in the afternoon?? Can’t figure out where it’s coming from so I’m assuming it’s comin straight from the big guy upstairs… meaning, I need to make some changes  in my life. What that is, I’m still trying to figure out. Maybe the anxiety wont come today since it’s Friday?! I still haven’t had any side effects from the new med Saphris, so far so good. My medication cocktail consists of Lamictal, Saphris, and Adderall XR. These medications work together to make me as “normal” as possible. For today I’m doing great! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I’m not going to say that I’m feeling 100% better than Friday but I’m making progress. I went to my Grandpas for dinner last night and when I was faced with the flooding of emotional sadness and grief  for my Grandma as I walked in, I embraced the feelings and took a minute away from everyone to cry. I’m starting to feel like some of the tension held up in my body from all of these emotions is finally escaping. Every time I cry I feel like I take one step closer to life without anxiety and the lump in my throat. I’ve pushed these feelings deep down for too long! I’ve been on a new med (Saphris) for almost a week now and feel like my overall mood is beginning to lift. I felt like I was stuck on an emotional rollercoaster  that kept flying right past the stopping point, no one was in control. I feel a little foggy in the morning and sometimes feel like I’m lucky I can find my way to work :p but other than that it seems to be doing the job (without the weight gain!). For now I’mstrolling through every day (in heels of course) with a renewed sense of happiness because of the new meds and my ability to finally allow myself to grieve.  – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Still going crazy! I’m at the end of my rope, I’m going to see the doctor in half an hour… thank God! My anxiety and agitation are at an all new high. I feel like screaming, crying, yelling, kicking and running. I feel like all my emotions are wound up tight in my head and ready to burst, my head aches. It’s moments like this that make you want to kick up your heels and wave your white flag “I surrender, I surrender”. I know it will pass but WTF I hate this!!! Ok, I’m done complaining. I’m thinking positive, positive, positive thoughts; shopping, manicures, pedicures, massages, shopping, new pair of heels, more shopping… starting to smile This will pass, this will pass. TaTa for now. – XOXO CrazyInHeels
