Posts Tagged ‘Good Mood’

I think that “busy” is probably my most common word right now! I’m constantly on the go with all of the bridal preparations. I’m so happy to be doing great on my meds, we’ve finally found the right “cocktail” as some would say. I feel like I have everything under control, I can manage the stress well, and most importantly I wake up in a good mood! Oh, and the other good factor is that the new med (Seroquel XR) is not making me gain weight… thank goodness, I have a dress to fit into! When the stress builds, and it does, I don’t lose my mind like I do un-medicated. There are no crying spells because I can’t find a parking spot, I’m not agitated at the many people I have to talk too, and I have patience. We all know how all of those crazy emotions fly right out of us when we’re manic depressed or even manic, and I guess you could  even say this happens when you think you feel “normal” and believe me… normal is not part of my vocabulary! For now I’m in control & enjoying every moment (except when people piss me off for a moment, and that has happened). Although I’m a little crazy (or a lot) I can still manage to go to work, work on schoolwork, work on a website, and plan a wedding… this is a huge accomplishment! Perhaps I should go shoe shopping as a type of reward for good behavior ;p – XOXO CrazyInHeels

“I’m the type of girl who will burst out laughing in dead silence because of something that happened yesterday!”- I heard this and had to post it because it’s 100% completely me! Is this because I’m crazy or just me being me?! Who knows, and most importantly, who in the world cares! The way I see it is, if I’m laughing that must mean I’m in a good mood and meds are working so I win either way!!!! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Still doing good, happy to report! I’m waking up in a good mood and staying in a good mood, this is so exciting! I don’t think you can truly appreciate the good days without experiencing the bad days. I believe that because I’m, oh… soooo… blessed with being crazy, I’m more in tune with my emotions and I experience life on a different level than others. Now, I know that can sound crazy in and of it self but those of you that are “crazy” get it and those of you that don’t.. too bad! haha I chose to see the positive side of this disease because that’s the only way I’m going to make it through this oh.. soooo.. crazy life!  I don’t feel bad for myself, pity myself, blame, or make excuses for myself. Sure, I’m a little “crazy” but who isn’t?? I have just as much of right to be here experiencing life as the next person. Life is what you chose to make of it. If you think something is wrong, go to the doctor. I’m tellin ya… you can feel normal! Get of your bootie, dust off you heels and start living!!! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I can’t believe how much one little pill can affect my life. I finally feel like I’m happy. Not a fake happy, a real happy that comes from within. I’m finally at peace with losing my Grandma. I miss her dearly but have allowed myself to walk through the grieving process. When I take a moment to remember and let myself cry if I need too, I feel better. My new med is helping me regulate my emotions. I wake up in a good mood and stay in a good mood. Life will bring happy days, sad days, disappointing moments and cheerful moments but I feel like I’m fully capable of dealing with whatever comes my way. – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Today is a great day! My new medication is working well with my body, a few minor side effects but no weight gain! I can’t beleive they finally made a pill that is effective without the dreaded weight gain, yay! I feel like the fog of depression and anxiety has lifted. I’m able to wake up in a good mood and stay in a good mood. – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I’ve lived my life with meds and without meds, which do I prefer you ask… WITH MEDS!!! I can’t even begin to tell you how much more manageable my life is now medicated. Being “crazy” is like having a black cloud in your brain that paralyzes your rational thought process, pours sadness throughout every bone in your body, and fills your mind with anger and frustration.

Yes, we are fu*&$%* “CRAZY” but we should embrace this craziness and learn how to turn this negative into a positive. I know that sometimes our lives can be extremely difficult and complicated but you’ve got to find something that makes you happy. Now, I’m not saying that you should just snap out of it and get happy damnit!!! I know that this is simply not possible, but I am saying that when you are happy… talk about it, write about it… the good emotions. Journaling is such a good idea. I like to look back and read about all the good moods I was in when I’m having a bad day, it helps! You can get out all those dark feelings, that’s good, but you need to find a way to bring yourself back to the “good” side. You have to remember to share all the fun, happy, positive things in your life with yourself so you have something to hang onto when you’re in the dark. Doing so will help you remember the good things. – XOXO CrazyInHeels
