@Scooter9 You don't have to apologize for writing about what you are going through. I definitely understand depression, everyone here does. At my baseline, I tend to be more depressed or mixed than manic or stable, I was so badly depressed last November, it's a miracle I didn't harm myself or try to OD.

@raspberrytorte Did you mention you were halving your Seroquel again? If so, that might be the problem. The last time I tried halving my Seroquel, my sleep was worse, I got manic, and more anxious. Yeah, I ended back up on the same dose.

@Nammu I wouldn't be able to get into drawing railroad ties either! That doesn't sound fun at all!

Things with me are pretty much as usual. I slept well and of course got my 4 AM wakeup call from Pecan. I managed to doze off another 30 minutes but my bladder just couldn't take 20 lb. of cat putting pressure all over it, and I finally just got up. I took a walk, showered, ate breakfast, read, did laundry, and drew (drawings all in the creative corner). My daughter has a sinus infection I think. She took a COVID test and it was negative, she's stopped running fever, I'll see how she feels when she gets up today. Hopefully, I won't have to run her to urgent care.

No plans for the day really, just relax, finish the book I'm currently reading because I have a library book I picked up yesterday that I am eager to start.


I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
