I finally had a goo, d day, I’m starting to feel better! I hope I don’t report differently tomorrow. The last few weeks have been such a roller coaster. I actually had enough energy to clean the house, do the laundry, and make dinner… all in the same day! That hasn’t happened in sooo long. Praise Jesus, I think the meds are working!!! It’s hard to get through the bad times but when you get to the good times you have a renewed sense of hope, a hope of living. I might be crazy but when you get down to it I”m just a girl trying to find herself in this crazy life we find ourselves in when we’re in our twenties. – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I’m a few weeks into my new medicine and feel like I’ve only reached a half way point. I’m not feeling 100% myself.  We’re approaching the Holidays fast and I need a pill that works ASAP, I don’t have time to waste. It can be so frustrating tyring to find a pill that works let alone the strength that you need  to get to, to make you feel better. I’m trying to be patient but it definately gets frustrating at times. Sometimes I wonder if I even remember how it feels to be normal. Am I ever going to be happy being normal when I know how FABULOUS it is to by hypo-mania?I’m going to increase my meds yet again and I’m expecting to have the side effects again as my body gets used to the dose. I hang onto the fact that happiness is within reach. -XOXO CrazyInHeels

If you read the list of possible side effects from a medication that you are about to take, you probably wouldn’t take it. Are all the side effects worth the hopefully positive effect the pill will have on you? My body is still trying to get used to me new med Tegretol. In the 28 yrs that I’ve been alive I have NEVER had any side effects from any medication until now. I’m just trying to make it threw the day without throwing up, falling over being I”m so dizzy, and funtioning with a full hlown headache. I’m hoping tomorrow is better. – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I increased my meds last night and of course I woke up dizzy and nauseous. I love meds but hate the side effects! I need something that makes me feel absolutely fabulous right this second without side effects! - XOXO CrazyInHeels

So I’m back to sad and crying today. I’m not going to spend time bitching about it because I know it will get better. My doctor said this would happen after a week or so of being on the new meds. I have an appointment with her tomorrow so I’m sure we will adjust accordingly. I’m counting down the minutes. It’s funny how we rely on a doctor and meds for our happiness. We schedule doctors appointments and shove pills down our throat all in hopes of being “normal” as normal as I can get :p I’m still a CrazyInHeels gal no matter how you look at. I view the world a little bit different, I have my own way of living and that’s how it’ll be and I’m happy with that. Still hanging on during this wild ride we call life… while being “crazy”. – XOXO CrazyInHeels

I got to see my doctor today… thank God!!!! I feel better just by going there. I have no problem admitting that I’m crazy and need drugs asap! She put me on a new drug Tegretol. So I’ll be on Lamictal and Tegretol. Hopefully this starts to make me feel better. I haven’t cried and screamed as much as yesterday. I got a little combative with my fiance yesterday, I was a little irrational. I can say that now, poor guy! It takes a lot to deal with us “crazy” people (I mean that in the nicest way possible). I’m trying to take care of myself and do things that aren’t stressful and take a lot of energy. I’m going to get through this, it will pass. – XOXO CrazyInHeels
