Saw Pdoc yesterday. Have upped Lactimal which is what I was hoping for. Got approval from GP this morning for next batch of T appointments. Heaps of things going on in background but am managing to keep atop of them today. Feeling strangely calm amist everything that is going on and falling apart. Not going to analyse it, just going to enjoy it while it lasts

- I'm never going to work out my moods

Free Hugs to Everyone who wants one

Doing alrightish maybe or not...idk? Kinda bored as I haven't done much today. No motivation to study for college finals. Did christmas shopping online (spent more than I should have) pretty much just to distract myself from everything. Haven't showered today or eaten a lot either. May be in a mixed/manic episode perhaps? Can't really tell. lol.

Been doing pretty well. Alright tonight, but also…. a bit annoyed. BF sometimes does "big sleeps" (2-3 days), and he is in one now. Here's the thing...

Today is my least favorite day of the year. I like that he understands how much I loathe birthdays (just mine, everyone else's are fine ) and accordingly, goes low key. But this is a little too low key, you know? I don't want to do anything (well, ok, one thing would be very nice... ), just kick back and hang out. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Even if he gets up, he'll be totally groggy and then wigging out over how much he's behind with work (which I've been helping a lot with lately, and he's said how much he appreciates it. So, WTF?)

This bacon-saving elf doesn't think it's asking too much for some freaking consideration.

Last night I actually slept 7-8 hours without any meds! I think my hypomanic phase has passed but I still feel calm and happy. So thrilled I haven't gone into depression or full blown mania. After six months of hellish depression and mixed states, then one month of hypomania I finally feel normal and I love it

Another rough day. Couldn't get motivated or move most of the day. I feel like I am slogging through mud.

Fearful that I am descending back into depression after my lovely spell of happiness. I wish I didn't cling so tightly to my moods every day.

I'm irritable, angry, sad, anxious, and tired. I should go hide in a cave..

I understand your fear. I have been felling pretty good since my last med change, but every time I'm feeling all that great, I immediately start to think the worse. Hang in there.

Two bad days/moods in a row. Feels tired and sleepy earlier tonight. Is it possible that my subconscious is more sensitive to stress and it triggered the mood change?

Also my ole friend sui thought paid me a visit, telling me like I need to find a good reason for that before the next big depression hits. I feel like I need to hold on to something now bc I don't have someone.

Just a mental glitch I guess. Time to reboot my brain, good night!

My day went well, very well. I am relieved because I've had a bad week. I'll take a good day. Saw my Psychiatrist and washed my car. Prepacked lunches for the upcoming week to keep my eating on track. Nothing exciting today and that is just fine.

Took well technically now yesterday off from work, burned out from departmental bs going on. I blew up the day before and had to vent to one of the supervisors. Probably a good idea to get away for a day before I get myself in trouble. It's never ending and it's going to get worse, don't know how much more I can take. I'm obsessing about it 24/7 and I'm angry all the time. Im trying to find another job in a different department, this has been going on for a few years and just keeps getting worse. It's affecting my mental health, I can't be stressed like this all the time, and I can't let go when I clock out for the day. Just needed to vent.

Feeling better today. Had a much better day yesterday. Maybe my funk earlier this week was just a cloud passing over.

I didn't sleep well last night. I didn't sleep much at all, actually.

Doing okay. Lots of sleep helps. Stressed by financial demands but managing. Am bored but busy. It's possible to be both! Lol

Sick today. Hmmm. I haven't been sick in a long time. I am missing fitness and feel torn. I feel guilty that I am missing it, but content to have the day off.

Kind of a rough couple of days. Yesterday had episode at T's office and wanted to walk me down the hallway to crisis. I refused so they brought someone in. By the time they got there I'd snapped out of it. T said I was disassociating. I don't know what that means really I could hear her but didn't really feel like I could respond to her asking me to breathe without getting worse and I was checking out mentally. Anyway, yesterday started on Seroquel and I slept until 1:30 and can't walk straight, balance is off and head is foggy. Is this normal for first dose on Seroquel?

Was feeling good earlier today but as the day went on my mood is dipping down & I'm quite unmotivated now. We are having like storm of the century where I live & I think the rain & darkness is wearing on me if that makes any sense. Got a lot done earlier but now I'm just kinda bleh. Feel like going to bed & pulling the cover over my head.

Doing better again today, I thknk the increased lactimal is doing its trick already. Have had headache and dizziness as side effects but anxiety and sui idealization have decreased. Took an argument with psych nurse to get approval as she wanted to leave things status quo but glad I didn't give in.

I made it through the negativity that comes with unreasonable fear, and paranoia of impending doom, I am now on the downswing, and smiling - able to relax for just this little while. Looking forward to the next couple of days and hoping the heater man that comes to my house tomorrow doesn't set me into another phase early.
