@~Christina, congrats on the new job! Sending you hugs.

@Sunflower123, Wow! You're doing some pretty exciting and adventurous stuff! Have a blast. I'm glad you're taking the time to pursue the pleasure you deserve.

@Mountaindewed, that's a bummer that you have covid after all this time. I had it a while ago. Even if you're not vaccinated, which does help a lot, at least the medical community has come a long way since the pandemic started. Do rest.

@Blue_Bird, that's great that you're planning on going back to college soon. Please don't compare to those 5 class semesters. Getting back is a majorly admirable step. Some years ago, after the worst of my bipolar years, I started to take online psychology classes through my local community college. I only took one class per semester, but got an "A" in all of the classes I took. I did that for four semesters in a row. I was very proud of myself. It is strange how when I attended college in my youth that I could take as many as 21 credits in a semester. No sense comparing, though. One must see things in relative terms.

@Nammu, your activity is a great inspiration. I need to get more active.

@HALLIEBETH87, I sure hope you feel better soon.

@Aurelius710, that sucks that your dad and cousin are still invading your life space in such ways. Is there any way to establish firmer boundaries with them?

@wildflowerchild25, I'm sorry you have to deal with such a hassle with your new pdoc. I remember when I would change psychologists a few said they wanted to "freshly diagnose" me. It was always frustrating, though in the end they all came to the same conclusion, but I had to bear proving it, in a sense, which can be too much. I never had any major trouble with propranolol and found it pretty side effect free. It sucks they want you to buy a blood pressure monitor, but if you think it may be affecting your bp, it's a good thing. I used to take 20 mg twice per day (40 mg total) and had no problems. I really do think it helped my Lithium tremors in the past.
