I am lonely.  I rung up J and I think I told her it was sunny and beautiful out.  But I don't remember.  I remember less and less as each minute passes.  I'm so confused all the time.  I'm dizzy and just weak.  

My vacuum broke.  I'm so sad.  What am I going to do?  Have you ever bought a vacuum?  They're way expen$ive, even the "cheaper" ones.  I don't have the money.  Cleaning is my life ... it is a result of my OCD, but it's one thing I have been able to manage.  But if I don't have anything to do, then what am I supposed to do?  

Something, right?  It's not that easy.  I'm apathetic - I don't care for anything.  The only other OCD habits I have is self destruction through means of cutting, wall banging, and excessively ripping my skin off.  

So I finished vacuuming and I thought, should I get a shower?  Should I eat?  Should I take a break?  I can't make decisions for myself.  It's like I can't, not like I'm indecisive.  I seriously just can't take care of myself.  

As of right now, I'm clean.  I took a shower and I have food waiting for me.  I didn't want to do any of this but I have and hopefully I'll be able to make it into the kitchen and get my food out of the microwave, because otherwise, it'll be in there for a week.  

Eat.

Then what?

I have some laundry to do but I don't want to do it.  I did plan on doing it today, I actually wanted to.  (Doing laundry at R and D's is risky and hazardous to my health - no joke.)  The trash needs to be taken out.  Same thing: plans canceled because one of the most ridiculous things I love has petered out.  

So now I'm heartbroken, lonely, depressed, confused, and worn out from being so depressed - all because of a vacuum.  

I want to take a break from the internet, but I can't because I'm tracking on WW.  It's so much easier to do it online than on a stupid piece of paper.  That is about it.  I have J's number so I don't have to worry about checking this site since most people don't keep in touch.  

I just want to be by myself.  The kind of alone where you need it, not because you're depressed, but just because you need a break from everything.

If what you are on is causing cognitive confusion and still not working there are other options. Lamictal was generally good for rapid cycling for me and also works well on depression and generally has less of a problem with cognitive confusion than other mood stabilizers. If you've tried it though there are many other options:

For example Lovaza an anti-cholesterol medication used experimentally as a mood stabilizer that works exactly like fish oil but is an FDA approved medication is one showing much promise:
