Managed a protein bar this afternoon and dinner, but dinner only because I have I family I have to prepare meals for. Leftover cheese tortillini with sauce & salad. Even added Parmesan cheese to the sauce and salad & used dressing (albeit light dressing).

Still not feeling that great. I'm in a bad place mentally with the bipolar and am starting to suspect I may be entering into a mixed episode. I absolutely HATE those.

I called and moved my psychiatrist appointment from Sept. 5 to Monday (my pdoc doesn't have Friday appointments). I also managed to get an appointment with my PCP, on Monday too, just to check in, ask if there are any tests she needs or recommends. I just saw her in June for a wellness checkup, but I lost enough weight since then for the PA to freak out when I saw him a couple weeks ago for a UTI. Granted, he is new to the practice and looked young, but on the other hand, I need to talk to my PCP and maybe get her to talk to my pdoc as well (as the ED thing isn't a big issue so far with him). She knows him; she said so at my appointment with her in June. I have been seeing her for 14 years (though not through my absolute rock bottom lowest weight; I lived in a different town then), and she did see me through a pretty bad relapse around 2015. I would like to have the 2 of them on the same page. When I see the pdoc, I am going to re-request that he talk a bit more about my case with my retiring pdoc (saw her 10 years). He has access to her notes, but she handwrote her notes, and her writing is miniscule and hard to read. She is still at the practice, fewer days now, but still seeing existing patients until they settle in with a new doctor.
