camping thoughts

p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; } Is stress and med effect related, I take buspar for stress with a little ad effect on the side. I started three weeks ago and have had a very good effect. While camping this last week my stress level fell to zero and I noticed a strange effect. I became hypomanic. It was one of the most wonderful few days of my life. I was master of the universe with nothing beyond my reach. As those with me commented on the change. I wondered why, When I first started buspar at the perscribed doseage I had the same effect. I immediately reduced the dose and returned to being stable. When the same thing happened camping I also reduced my doseage and it leveled me out at about halfway between the two. At least for me my stress level seems to change “how much” chemical I need. I know it takes “days” for theraputic levels to change but I know what I felt and I know how I changed.

Ps: I still thank they have accepted me as deity, at least it seemed that way. God it was a good trip..and all this on two hours of sleep nightly…..

Psps: can I go there again? Why would it hurt anyone …. no answer needed just dreaming out loud…

God Bless all you peps,,,, I sure my words have lightened your load today…… Randy.

CAMPING

Did somebodyyyyyy sayyyyyyy Camping

[I love "glamping"]

Hypo mania is wonderful! I'm so glad you were able to experience contained euphoria! You are such a sweetheart to others; you deserve it! I hope there is more to come.

I recently went camping... My anxiety always drops when I am sitting with a book on the edge of the lake ! Better than a benzo! I can't wait til we go again !

Nothing makes me feel better than fishing.
It always helps me no matter what I am going through.

Similar feelings. We are going to the lake house July 4th weekend. Can't wait

Oh 2 hours of sleep a night when I'm manic also makes me believe wonderful things tigs

you know I do deserve it ... Ty cashart ....

w o n d e r f u l is wonderful........ I believe I am wonderful... ...hooli you are wonderful .... pc is wonderful ...... god it's great being the reason for it all ........................tada ....

Glad to hear things are wonderful......much better than the xanax mess a while back......so glad buspar is good for you.

that demon pdoc I have said I am "sensitive" to meds... but of course he is wrong ... Ty...

Have you considered a non-demon pdoc? They do come in that variety you know......Yours sounds like a jerk.

Last year I had ankle surgery and my orthopedist usually does the procedure at an outpatient clinic. I told him I knew it needed to be done at the main campus because of my MAOI requiring a specially trained anesthesiologist. He translated that into "Pt. states surgery needs to be at main campus due to bipolar and PTSD". His listening skills for some things were pointless. I am very happy with the surgery and we got along ok by the end of it (had a conflict on surgery day because his nurse neglected to tell him I planned to refuse a nerve block and me that he insists on them) but his understanding of bipolar led to things like I was knocked out before entering the OR fully. I am an occupational therapist, not easily bothered by medical stuff but he only saw mental illness and so he misintrepreted things. But it was ok because he was a surgeon and they are supposed to be insensitive jerks. Your pdoc has no such excuse and it sounds like he acts like an orthopedist with enough success to be reasonably arrogant and not interested in mental illness (plus pdoc and not interested in MI=problem.....)

Heehee, they have indeed! And much-needed at that!
All hail!

Yes my loyal subjects,, only the best can see the best .... all my peeps are the best .........

Glad you had fun that's all that matters

Ty ... sadly it's beginning to fade ...

My dad loves camping and fishing. I'm a city lady. LOL. I never go with him. I might have to try it

I normally love to camp and fish but over the past 7-8 years I've lost interest in most things. Pile that on top of my Bipolar diagnosis 3 months ago. Weird too because I know if I could just pull myself together and go camping I'd be happier but oddly I can't seem to self motivate myself enough to go. Camping almost always recharged me and made me feel content.

join an organization that camps ... such as the boy scouts ... they always need help and you would be helping a good cause ... plus they will have a schedule you can plan on and choose which outings you like or have the time for to fit your schedule ...

Yes, or do you know someone else who likes to camp?

I don't know where you live in the midwest (of course), but perhaps a little inspiration? Many, many years ago, my ex and I set out across the country with a generalized move in mind (Like it? Stay! Lol.). We had everything we owned in a Toyota Corolla, and were camp travelling it (no money) (Ah, BP, so many crazy big unprepared moves...) It was my first time seeing the midwest, and we were on the plains. It was so amazing to see the stars go right to the horizon in every direction!! Beautiful!!!! (I'd never seen such a thing, having always lived -- and travelled-- in hilled and treed countryside.), I can still see it in my mind, and this was thirty (yikes!) years ago!

Also travelling through the midwest, I remember being so surprised travelling through... I believe it was Iowa... to see giant treeless hills. Couldn't help but imagine giants walking over them(!)

We go to Yosemite a lot. I grew up camping every year we went. My husband loves Yosemite and it's about a 4 hour drive so not to bad.

We used to use a tent but they have something called housekeeping. Housekeeping is the best of camping. You have a cement slap and 3 cement walls with a canopy on top. It comes with a double or a queen bed and a set of bunk beds. You have to bring your own sleeping bags. It has shelves for you to put your things on plus outlets and lights. It's an upgrade from using a tent and a down grade from a cabin.

You also have privacy screen and people decorate them. We usually bring halloween lights and plug them in at night so the kids know where we are out. The best part. We have good bathrooms with hot water and flushing toilets and showers. They also provide you with shampoo and body wash. You also get 2 bear lockers and a fire pit and a picnic table.

It really is the best of both worlds. We were sitting down eating dinner by the fire when my husband said no buddy move and we all looked at where he was pointing and there was a deer just a few feet away from us. the kids were thrilled.

For me, but my chair in the river and give me a good book and I am happy.
