Agitation

[milotic17]

I’m sorry I haven’t updated in, well, forever. Things haven’t been great. I feel especially bad because I know some of the people on my FL have been struggling, and I haven’t been the least bit supportive. I don’t think I’ve commented on a single journal entry of anyone’s in a week or more. I will try to be a better friend.

Anyway, I really thought

i hope this is all normal for going off abilify and that it settles down soon. it's not the same, but after going off zoloft, i was a wreck for a month until i felt better again. i bet you're so hungry because your metabolism is rebounding. it was clearly very low from the abilify and now that's out of your system so your body's probably waking up and going, "holy shit... we need food!" i hope you'll soon feel comfortable eating more, because now that your metabolism is better, you can eat a LOT more than you have and not have to worry about random weight gain.

i haven't been commenting either; there is so much going on that i don't have the time. we can't be there for our friends 100% of the time, and this doesn't make us bad friends, so don't worry about how much you comment. :)

you aren't getting any validation from the people in your life, and that sucks. it is absolutely phenomenal that you graduated with honors. you have done so amazingly well and have so much to be proud of. i am sorry that you don't hear that enough from others.

i'll be thinking about you tomorrow, i hope your appointment goes well and she calms your fears about abilify.

if you get agitated like that again, you could try doing something like solitaire or sudoku- one of those mental exercises that makes you zone out. might be worth a shot.

oh and you deserve those books! enjoy them! :)

I hope this is all normal, too. Actually, today was a horrible day; my depression was in full-force. I will try to update about it tomorrow.

I've come to the conclusion that what I've been feeling isn't hunger, but some kind of nausea. (There are many reasons for this, which I will try to explain when I update tomorrow.) I think I've starved myself to the point of feeling sick and nauseaous for so long that I've come to confuse the two. I don't think what's going on is hunger, though, which is kind of a relief. It's some kind of "sick to my stomach" feeling, maybe related to the reflux (?). I feel like I have a big gas bubble in my stomach or something and it's pressing on my throat, LOL. Have you ever experienced that? (I may not be describing it well.)

Unfortunately, I got my dates messed up and therapy is tomorrow and wasn't today.

Thanks for your support.

*hugs*
