My husband woke me up at 10 this morning and told me to go smoke, take my meds, and get dressed, so we could go to the Omega House. It's a diner. On the way there my mom called me and asked me if I was coming over today....I told her no, b/c I bought my own food. If she would've asked earlier this week, we would've went. I'm going to start cooking at 3 today, so we can eat at 4, so I can get to Walmart at 6, to get a new food processor for $5. LOL.

Going well today Have been to work and been on the exercise bike.

I have a work christmas party tonight. I want to find some pretty hairstyle, so there will be a lot of self nurture today, making myself all pretty haha. Might even do my nails aswell. On the hunt for a good makeup blog, my make up skills are 10 years out of date. Its fun to dress up on occasion.

Im still so relieved to not feel like I did last week, counting my blessings that I feel so much better this week.

Still have no motivation or drive to ride the horse but I gave her a bath yesterday and have spent quite a bit of time with her.

I wanted to quit.

Girls fighting sucks.

Had a really full day yesterday visiting family and friends (3 stops in all). Proud of myself, considering the depression I'm still in, that I was able to fake my way though the somewhat overwhelming day. Bummed out because all of the activity has caused a slight fibromyalgia flare today. Wondering if I'm meant for part-time work instead of full time.

How long does hypomania typically last?

Despite the lamictal I'm still depressed. I'm sorry I'm not contributing more to the forum, but I just can't concentrate on anything right now. It's hard for me to read everybody's posts and follow the threads. Hopefully I'll feel better soon.

If any of you guys have advice on family/sex related things, could you please do me a favor and help me out? I am frustrated and lost.

I got my Risperidone today, I'm supposed to take 1mg at bed time. I can't wait to see how things are once I'm on it for awhile,I really want some peace of mind from this paranoia and these hallucinations.

Didn't sleep well last night, I think the Seroquel probably needs raised because I've noticed I'm starting to have less patience with people in general again. Anxiety is still there but not very bad. Just need to sleep better again.

still doing pretty good here, despite the fact that today was just as dull as any other

I don't know if it is easier, but maybe that us where some of us are at. Maybe what you are describing Alokin is hypo/manic. No good either. Why can't we find the common ground Of what most People call normal?!

I take 1 mg of Respirdone and I have BP2. I asked my pdoc about it and he said if I had BP1 with hallucinations etc. I'd be on a much higher dose. I hope the 1 mg helps you but maybe talk to your doctor about this.

Thanks for the reply! Not sure why I'm on 1mg, today's only my second day on this med so I can't judge yet of course , but no relief from hallucinations and paranoia yet. Maybe eventually, I hope. Anyway, I do get to talk to my doctor sometime during the week and will let them know how things are going

Loving this relaxing weekend. Braved the crowds today and picked up 2 new dresses for work, looking forward to pairing them with funky tights and booties!

[Ash89]

A little stressed because I haven't studied in nearly a week because of the holiday. Deadlines are fast approaching and I am so far behind! But then I take a deep breath and remind myself what's done is done and I'll retain more information if I'm not stressed

Wow logic, you can really be helpful sometimes! Also there's leftover pumpkin pie. Mmmmm.

Irked, because I couldn't take a shower until they finally fixed whatever was wrong in a apartment down the porch, that took until 3:10 pm. Had trouble sleeping last night again, so tonight It's back to adding 100mg of Trazodone to the mix. I hadn't needed it since starting the Seroquel. That usually only gets me 3 to 4 hours of sleep, but with the Seroquel in the mix too I might get somewhere close to 6 instead of the 4 I got last night.

Desolate lonely day yesterday. Stayed up late but still couldn't sleep, so knocked self out hard. Woke up 5:30 tonight. Been a self-loathing disaster, f'ing up everything in my path. Going back to bed soon. No one should have to put up with me.

I'm very irritable last night and today. Where did this come from? All week I've been feeling ok. Last night I watched the dog show from Philadelphia and I swore at the announcers because they didn't show all the dogs, especially my favourite the schipperke. I had one for 14 years. Thank goodness I live alone. I was do irritable I couldn't stand myself. What's this all about all of a sudden?

So irritable.

My doctor is changing my meds around. Yesterday was pretty good. Today feels slowed down physically and just grey like thick fog. I am scared of medications and said I need time to research Saphris. Maybe I should have just taken it. I don't want to be on an antipsychotic all the time because of the risk of side effects. Side effects that I am not willing to accept.

Doing horrible today, hallucinations and paranoia are out of control, it's almost like they got worse after 3 days of Risperdal 1mg. I'm not sure how. Anyway, I live with my mom and she wants me to go to the hospital, I really don't want to be there again if it's not necessary. I'm going to stay here and try to hold off until I hear from my pdoc during the week. I think I can make it.

[Alokin]

Rivalry day! Hubs is a bengals fan and I am a chargers fan, I may either be really happy or really sad in a few hours, LOL

Risperidone takes awhile to work - at least a week. And you just might need a larger dosr.
