Do you ever have those days when you're sick of pills and everything is just!
Question: Do you ever have those days when you're sick of pills and everything is just crappy!?
Some of you must know that feeling!. Where the one random side effect grabs you on a specific day when you skip breakfast or you just get tired of the notion that you need brain drugs at all!.
I'm on the right meds and generally just fine, but having a rough day!. What do you do to pick yourself up and just feel a little more chipper!?

I totally understand! I take meds for my bipolar and when I'm having a pity party for myself, I'm mad that God made me this way and "how come my brother doesn't have this!?" blah bah blah!. To snap out of it- I remind myself what my life was like BEFORE the meds and what a mess!! Then I am so thankful that I am where I am today!.!.!.!. it's normal to get annoyed about the meds and their side effects!. But just try and remember the reason you take them, and how they make you feel/act better!. If we had high blood pressure or cancer or another condition, we would take our meds for those things and I'm sure that the side effects of those drugs aren't always pleasant either :) You are not alone in the way you feel!.!.!.!.!. it's ok!! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I tell myself life is full of ups and downs!. When things don't go so good, there is another day to explore tomorrow and see if that feels better then!. It can not be ALL bad, there is some variety in the way days go!. I tend to listen to music if I feel a little down or my favorite show, or to go and do something I just enjoy!. I just spent ALOT to have my c/a unit fixed!. I don't have the cash to spare but I had to or suffer in a VERY hot house!. LIFE is full of choices , we can sit and feel sorry for ourselves or we can say that is not going to get the best of me!. It's up to you how you choose to handle such things in life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would say find something you like to do in life!. call up the girls go out with them go shopping alone or with them!. You could alwyas do yoga or go in a hot tub and just relax!. Every one has days where they feel like **** and no one is perfect so i would say just relax and take it easy or you can take a nap and hopefully sleep it off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have those same kinds of days, and some days I can fix it, some days not!. Some days I try to clean house or exercise really hard to get my mind off of how I feel, and other days I just want to be alone and lay in bed watching Lifetime TV!.!.!.lol!.!.!.But mainly, I found that if I stay busy, I rarely have time to stop and think about how I feel!. The hardest part is getting myself up to get busy!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
