i just got home from my inlaws' house last night. i have so much work to do and i feel like i can't do anything. i have just been sitting on the couch watching tv. i had my boyfriend make me some grilled cheese b/c i can't even get up to do that. this sucks. i feel like banging my head against a wall in frustration. i can't quite figure out what is wrong or why i feel so bad. i am just waiting for my mood stabilizer to start working since i just started taking it a few days ago (Trileptal 600mg daily).
does anyone else crash after holidays or trips away? is it just coming back to home that does it?
i called a friend and we are going to go get something to eat, so i just have to hang in there and not cut up my arm for a couple of hours. very hard not to right now.

The holidays are so very hard. We are all expected to be on our best behaviour; yet, all my bad memories from childhood are related to the holidays. It is so prevalent and I think it takes a lot of therapy to be better at it. My T thinks that there is too much booze consumed during this time of year. Just think of it - all those inhibitions suppressed - it boggles the mind!
The important thing is that - you made it through Thanksgiving. You have a friend to reach out to when you're feeling so exposed. You're going to be OK. We're here for you, too.

Hi I am so glad to hear you are going to go with a friend to eat and avoid other triggering behaviours and all....I do not know if it is the med, or the stress, or maybe even the flu sometimes those factors can render us unable to do or even want to do much and for me if I am sick and do not know it my moods are affected. You made some wise choices today in not doing anything harmful and accepting help so that is cool...keep it up and I will be here a lot to talk with along with many others
