I know I'm trying to shut up, it's not working

My thoughts have not slowed down,

the seroquels making me more restless,

I yelled at my son because he doesn't have the upper body strength to carry his own bike up the stairs, he's 11

I'm obsessing about finding a team of dr.s for when we move (a yr from now), I swear I've filled out like 15 intake forms for each of us, Intake forms make me feel crazier.

I am so not sleeping for more then 4 hrs. with out seroquel
but seroquel makes me more restless. I am nodding off without soda but that's probably lack of food.

Synthroid is making me dehydrated I swear I'm going to faint any second when standing

I only drink soda so that doesn't help the situation. Yeah everyone will say drink something else but it's not that easy for me.

I swear I'm eating us out of house and home but I logically realize it's not likely.

I'm not seeing, hearing things that aren't there yet no bug on my skin yet either

I don't think I'm paranoid yet

I always have strange thoughts so that doesn't count

I need : to clean the house, go back to college, grade Miguel's school papers, ****ing think, pack for our move, Thursday art day's today, make sure my husbands soaks in a bath, and on and on and on...

I need a swimming pool but my husband wont allow one in the house and it's against community rules to have one in our yard.

I forgot to pay internet

****, this sucks can't see pdoc for another 3 wks. see T in a week, we were suppose to talk about my eating disorder but T will probably just get topic jumping.

Mania or Hypo mania?
ways to calm w/o meds?

I can't do this right now Miguel already has one incapacitated parent he doesn't need two. I'm horrible with med changes. Maybe I'll drop my AD for a little see if that helps? what do you think?

MM, I wouldn't change any meds w/o talking to your pdoc first. Can you call in for a phone consult? I do know how you feel. ?I have so much I need to do, but can't motivate myself to do them. All I do is pace back and forth around the house/office, and start different things, but never finish.

I wish you the best, and hope that this little episode dies away quickly.

Sorry you are having such a tough spell. I understand about the sodas, but with me it's iced tea(sweet). I, agree, that it would not be a good idea to change your meds on your own. Talk to your doctor. I wish I had a magical cure for you. Hang in there.

Just work on the things on your list one at a time (if possible) try to breath...try...I wish I had more and better advice but since I don't I am sending hugs.

Wish I knew what to say. No advice about meds or med changes. Did you go to the Thursday art? Sounds interesting. Easiest things first... I'd apologize to M for yelling, let him know you're a little stressed out not his fault you love him, proud of him, smile, hug. (You've probably already done that..). Next, get Big M soaking in bath. Maybe call & pay Internet if they're still open or do online. That's a lot & enough to get done on a day like today, and mid episode. Ya I think you're hypo & anxious & they're feeding on each other. Idk what the answer is. Maybe since you're wanting a pool, getting in water, a bath could help. Maybe helping hubby bath will help. Running water is soothing.

it sounds like you have a lot going on. you must be really overwhelmed. what can you do to take some time in a day to take care of yourself so that you don't go over the edge? sounds like you are reaching a limit and life needs prioritizing as to what is really important and let the things of lesser importance fall by the wayside so you can get a break. take care.

I changed Miguel school classes, did art day and accomplish nothing.

Whatever you do, DON'T adjust meds without consulting your pdoc, even if it's just over the phone. I recently attempted to cut my AP dose in half with near-disastrous results, and I don't recommend that. There's a reason those guys make the big bucks!
