I got my new glasses yesterday, I really like them. Nice to be able to see things at a distance clearly again (I’m nearsighted)

My cat came running into my room carrying an ENTIRE roll of paper towels with her last night as if she was a dog carrying a bone, it was hilarious, she’s such a funny cat. She gets her new big sister Maybelle (my sister’s cat she’s giving me) this Thursday, hopefully they get along.

I’ve been so tired lately. I don’t know if it’s my meds or what. I’m wondering if it’s the Thorazine. I used to be on 400mg along with another 1st generation AP and a mood stabilizer, I don’t know how the hell I managed to function or ever wake up then. Now I’m just on 200mg Thorazine, 15mg Abilify, plus a mood stabilizer and ADs. I fell asleep this afternoon for 2 hours even though I slept all night last night. I could barely keep my eyes open. The problem is when I’m off these meds I don’t sleep, at all. I stay up for days or only sleep around 3 hours a night every night so that’s not good either.

There’s gotta be some way to make myself less tired. Coffee doesn’t help because I consume a lot of caffeine and have a high tolerance for it.

I managed to get on the treadmill for 30 minutes today. Also did some reps with my 8lb weights and a lot of squats with my resistance bands, trying to get more active and lose some of this weight I’ve gained since starting the abilify.
