My mood today is still low...just the third day on higher dose of Latuda. I got up late - would have been later if my wife wasn't after me.

I had some arguments with the family today. I backed down to avoid escalating things. But I ended up having to buy a toilet on my own... it weighs 100 pounds so it's not easy to manoeuvre on your own. I did it though I wish i had my son's help.

I have some work to do around the house... some stuff broke. I might just call a handyman to get it done sooner.

I also visited a retirement home for a loved one. It's freaking expensive and you have to get your own furniture, cable tv, internet and phone. Plus you have to pay for services like medication administration, assistance with bathing, and escorting when walking from place to place. All I'm learning from this is to stay healthy and stay independent as long as possible.
