7 - going to visit my Dad today.

Well, I guess I was manic early in the day yesterday because as the day progressed, I went downhill. Moved down to a 4. Finally a 3 and the only thing that would cheer me up is my man coming home. He was only gone for the day so I couldn't believe how lonely I was.

Just for today I will be happy. -Al-Anon

5 today
* When nothing goes right...go left
* Attach your own oxygen mask before assisting others
* Women are not that complicated. How hard is it to tell us
we are pretty and give us chocolate?
* Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting their own battle.
* Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its troubles. It empties today of its strength.

150mg Wellbutrin
75mg Topamax
1 mg clonasapam
