I do understand. There are days when I let myself go and then wonder what am I doing out in public like this? I've had those emotional days, weeks even months where I just do give a crap. I feel like I'm so miserable what does any of it matter anyways? Well, I then realize that if I at least try to feel better about myself, like by buying new makeup or a new outfit than I actually DO feel a little better. There isn't much I can do about my weight right now or the fact that my fingers look like sausages, I can't remember the last time I was able to even wear my wedding ring but I put on a new pair of spring pants today and a fringy poncho and a beaded band in my hair and it helps. Sure, it doesn't really take the pain away but it makes me feel more, I don't know, human??

Its ok to break down in public, I've done it at work several times and while I'm always embarrassed about it, luckily most people understand. Some days you just can't help it. I think it helps to let it out when it needs to come out! I have myself a good cry usually once a week, if I bottle it up and try to hold it in, then it comes out at the most inopportune times!

I was actually told that I only have to have the BIG eye exam once a year as long as I stay on the 200mg twice a day dose, if I go to a higher dose than the chances of eye problems go up and they want me to have it done more often. I also work for an optometrist so he can do simple checks to make sure nothing is going haywire and I know what the signs are so I'm all good with the once a year thing!

A tip on the eye liner, smudge it a little with your finger tip or q-tip for a more natural look, instead of having just a solid "line" around your eyes!
