muddy, be careful with those old pills. We don't want to see anything bad happen to you. Though I am just as guilty in keeping old bottles of pills around, don't have any benzos left though...I trashed a lot of lithium after my last hospitalization but that was about it.

@Blue_Bird I understand a bit about the schedule. I am very rigid and OCD about some stuff like in the morning I get up, take care of the cats, put away dishes from the dishwasher, take out trash, exercise, shower, coffee & breakfast, now the SAD lamp too, fold laundry before making lunch. And if I have to do things out of that order, I get anxious and jittery and just feel "off". Pdoc has me with an OCD diagnosis, but I don't think mine is as bad as a lot of people have it. I also get intrusive circling thoughts, some completely nonsense phrases, and they just don't stop though there are times when they are worse than others.

I had night sweats last night so my sleep could have been better. Either it's perimenopause or I messed up my meds in my pillbox. Probably screwed up the meds.

I did pilates this morning and had an early pdoc appt. No med changes. I go back in 3 weeks, but the irritating thing was the receptionist said the schedule was full and she'd call me when there was a cancellation to schedule. She assured me there would be a cancellation for that week, but how do I know to trust that? This is the first time I've ever had that happen there, it is SO irritating. I stopped by Starbucks and then got cash at the bank ATM, came homes, used the SAD lamp while reading, folded laundry. I don't feel as jittery today as I felt at the end of last week, so that's good. I had been feeling almost manicky at times.
