stupid new meds
they make me more tired, which new meds always do for me, but that i'll get used to. right now my big complaint is that they make me feel like i have to go to the bathroom all the time. the last couple nights i've gotten up twice. right now i am so thirsty, but i don't want to drink anything because i'd like to keep it to not that many times if possible. bleh.

my mother says she feels like i've been down lately. i haven't really noticed that. i think i'm more disappointed that i can't move out this summer like i had hoped and i need to get involved in a small group at church. the one i went to meets sunday right after church which i didn't think would work for me, and turns out i was right, so that's disappointing. and then tomorrow is mother's day, which sometimes feels like 'failure as a woman day' when one is at church or on fb. idunno. i shall make it a point to not go on fb tomorrow and i guess i'll just have to keep monitoring my emotions. on the plus side, chelley is coming to visit and my parents are going out of town, so those will be two pick-me-ups. :)
oh, also, i have two weddings coming up and was invited to one bachelorette party so far, and those are things that are very hard for me and stress me out. the last wedding i went to with this same group of people, i ended up skipping the reception because i was the closest i've ever been to a panic attack.
:/ Do you know why it causes you such stress? Is that related to the meds?
I agree that it can feel like those things. I've read some things though (via facebook) that were encouraging. Probably still a good idea to avoid Facebook though. Church, I'm not so sure. One thing I read, someone commented on it a thought I had had recently -- that Mother's Day is to celebrate our mothers, and we can all do that.
Yes, we are failures, but we all are, even the wives and moms out there. But thanks be to God who reconciles us through Jesus Christ our Lord (paraphrased). Lately I've been thinking about the annoying focus of our local Christian radio station on mothers and family (but especially mothers). I suppose that's because Mother's Day is coming up. But of course anything can be an idol, even mothers/motherhood. Then again, I also think maybe they put such a focus on that because they know how hard and discouraging it is and want to encourage those mothers. Perhaps they've just gone so far over that way because they know how exhausted and discouraged some moms might feel, that they've forgotten how it might make non-mothers feel. Or something. I dunno, I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I've just been convicted again that I need to take every thought captive. Man, that's a lot!
Sorry. Totally rambling... Looking forward to seeing you next weekend! :)
they stress me out because I don't have anyone to be with at them. the people I know in this group are all in each other's weddings, so that leaves no one for me.
that's a good point about Christian radio stations.
