I found myself just standing in one place, not knowing what I was even there to do. Then I super overdid it and went to the bread shop. There I saw a woman that seemed to trigger me. I won't go into how/why, but I guess I was staring at her, and she eventually noticed. That disturbed me that I was acting like that. I got home almost wishing I hadn't rescheduled my psychiatrist appointment. It was originally supposed to be in 15 minutes. I thought about calling him to ask for the time back, but I knew he'd never get the message on time, and he's probably already given that time slot away. Maybe it's all for the best.

About 20 minutes ago, I heard my garage opening. Why was Hubby home so early? Apparently for good reasons that I didn't recall. I told him that I overdid it and now I don't want to do anything more the entire night. No cooking. Nothing. I just feel disturbed. Sometimes day dreams race through my head and seem so real. They're usually something rather scary.

I wonder if I actually hurt myself with the long shower and all of the errands. Now my voice is so hoarse and my cough is scary.
BirdDancer, I am so sorry you had such an incredibly difficult day. What a nightmare. I only get depersonalization/derealization when I am psychotic and I absolutely hate it. Just misery. So sorry you had that experience.

I obviously don't know your story very well, but I was just wondering if you have had any med changes recently. Wondering if you felt maybe you should possibly make a med move. And maybe you shouldn't go out alone until you are feeling a bit better. Just a thought.

Hopefully, you will have gotten a good sleep in and feel better tomorrow. Hoping so! Sending you support and healing vibes--
