Anyway, as for myself I'm doing okay. Haven't been back to volunteer since the last time I went when I had a panic attack during the shift. I talked to my therapist about it, she said I did a good job since I didn't bolt out the door when I started having the panic attack and stayed through the shift and got through it.

I signed up for a few days in the upcoming weeks. My next volunteer day is next Thursday. Wednesday is my final appointment with my psychiatrist of 6 years, she's leaving to work at the hospital. So I'm sad about that, she's been the best psych I've ever had. It's going to be really difficult to get used to someone new and be able to open up to someone new.

I have an issue where I impulse shop either when I'm not feeling great (depressed, anxious, etc) to make myself feel better and also when I'm feeling really good (hypomanic to manic)

I'm trying to reign that in, and it's not easy, not easy at all.

Here's pics of Miss Mustachio and Maybelle

The kits are so CUTE! They always make me smile, there's something amusing about both of them. What wonderful little beings to share your home with.


It's very good to see you, Birdie. I'm glad you've checked in. Your T is correct imo - you did great by not bolting.

It's rough to lose a long-term psychiatrist. I'm sorry you're having to go through that. A couple of years ago my pdoc of almost 4 years left very suddenly. It's hard. I still miss her at times. Do you already have a new one lined up?


I am terribly sorry about your brother-in-law. What a horrible thing to have happen to your family, and especially to your niece. Yikes. 17 is so young to lose her dad. Life can be just so weird sometimes.

Check in when you can.
