I am glad my therapist and I called poison control yesterday. While I was not in danger I was very drowsy all day and it was reassuring to know I wasn’t hurt. I just had a med hangover. I tried eating Chinese food thinking greasy food would help. Which it didn’t. I went to the store around 3 to get some peppermint and mint herbal tea. Then around 4PM I just fell asleep. I didn’t take any melatonin or Benadryl or any sleep med. I didn’t even use my sleep lotion. I slept through dinner and I slept until 5AM. I’m feeling a lot better today. I’m giving myself an eat whatever I want to day, just so I can continue to be stable. My moods are ok. They have been fine all day. I could use my first Valium today since I’ve had a lot of caffeine. But today I am doing much better physically. Yesterday my stomach hurt really badly like I had pulled a muscle. My mom said it was just surgery stuff.

But yeah I’ve had 2 **** ups this week and it’s only Wednesday. The heavy lifting on Sunday that required a few calls to the doctors office on Monday, and the med thing yesterday in therapy. So that’s why I’m just taking it easy today and not worrying about dieting or organizing or anything. I did organize the fridge with all my drinks this morning and I did go to the gas station and Dollar General, but that was it. I’m still having some chest pain where I had my top surgery. My mom says it looks ok it’s just probably still the suitcase pain.

But overall I still have felt very stable mental health wise since my surgery. I’m looking forward now to my trip the week before Thanksgiving and then Thanksgiving itself. My mom said my cousin probably won’t be invited because the 3 people who can tolerate her won’t be there and there’s already going to be 20 people which is a lot for my cousin and his wife to handle who are hosting it.
