Also, one of my goalie coaches said that the bike actually uses the muscles I need on the ice more than the treadmill. I don't like the elliptical, which is what I started working out on when I first resolved to lose weight and get into shape last year, then switched to the treadmill for some reason. Anyway, I'm not one of those people who sits on the stationary bike and peddles in a relaxed manner while watching the attached TV or reading the latest issue of <i>People</i> magazine! I closely monitor my heart rate because up until I started working out again recently, I peaked at 177 - 178. Today I think I peaked at 174, and just for you, I added an extra five minutes onto my time, so that's 50 minutes on the bike today, in addition to 30 minutes of stretching afterwards! It's rigorous, girlfriend! Speaking of which, because I'm out of shape cardiowise (for me), I got spanked BIG TIME at hockey tryouts the other night. And I was just filling in, ’cuz I already know I'm going to be on the Orange team again! Anyhow, yes, I can drive over there for lunch. Let's set a date via Crackbook or something, but you have my e-mail addy, dontcha? I used to use the treadmill up until my knee injury.

Thanks for all the support. Actually, I think we finally have it solved. I've been taking all my Tegretol at night, along with 50 mg. of trazodone for the past couple of days, and it seems to have helped. I took my meds around 11 last night, and I <i>could</i> have gotten up around 7:30 this morning, but I chose to sleep in! :razz: <b>Sid,</b> yeah, I've been under a <i>ton</i> of stress, so that's got to be a part of it. I mean, falling asleep after 45 minutes on the stationary bike? Whatever. We'll still do coffee some time. (((hugs))) <b>kim,</b> actually, I think it's been unseasonably warm here, but we've had tons and tons of rain. Gray days are a nightmare for me, even when I feel fine! I just don't want to go outside, especially if it's raining. I'm sorry to hear about your own pelvic problems. My pdoc thinks that if the fibroid is really affecting my quality of life, I should have it removed, but I'm going to wait. Try the Pill again -- this Yasmin is fairly new, and it hasn't caused any weight gain, and I'm pretty certain that it isn't causing the depression. Actually, I'm just showing symptoms of depression because I can get out and do stuff, unless it's close to ECT time when my "bars" get low. :mrgreen: (((hugs))) Thanks, <b>megan!</b> <b>DB,</b> will do. :) <b>silvergull,</b> could be, but I think I'm an hour behind you so it still stays pretty light here, though to be honest I haven't been paying attention! <b>PaK,</b> um . . . OK. <b>KG,</b> thanks. :) Wow! Thanks for all the support. Actually, I think we finally have it solved.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Why am I so tired all the time? I guess it's because I'm depressed. No, maybe it's not the depression but the anti-depressant. Or the anti-anxiety med. Maybe I'm actually depressed because I'm tired all the time. But why am I so tired all the time? Maybe it's my heavy periods. I'm probably anemic. Or maybe I have chronic fatigue syndrome? Fybromalgia? Something else? Maybe I should go see my doctor again? See some specialists? See my psychiatrist? My therapist? Get some tests done? Bloodwork? Or maybe I should just take vitamins, stop drinking coffee, stick to a routine and get more exercise? Or maybe I should get online and do some research on fybromyalgia, mood disorders, anemia, and hormones? Oh my god, that is so much to do. There is no way I can get all that done. I am way too tired. I'll never figure this out. That's so depressing. I'm so tired. Why am I so tired all the time? The frustrations of a mood disorder. I know exactly what you’re talking about.

This sounds similar to what I've been going through, which is why I haven't contacted you about going for coffee. I blame mine on the stress & stuff because I don't know what else could be causing it. The depression could just be a symptom of feeling so damn tired or vice versa. Hugs to you.
