The cat had a kitty cold--her sinuses and nose were gunked up--so she couldn't smell her food. Apparently she can now as she is chowing down to beat the band. We're keeping her on a soft food diet for a week and then back to dry food (though it appears my daughter gave her dry food already).

My husband's birthday went alright, despite the medical and vet appts. He's had to put off getting things for himself because of me and my daughter so it was nice that he bought some cool things for him, plus us giving him gifts.

My pdoc did what I thought she would do and took me off the Thorazine. She wrote a script for yet another EKG to see if the prolonged QT will go down any further. I can only take it PRN now. I may have to take it for sleep as I only slept 3 hours, and then tossed and turned until I got up. I'm not feeling tired, so that's kind of worrisome. The depression still flairs up and I'm more jittery now. This is usually a bad month for me, and I don't want side effects to make it even worse.

I am thinking about having my Mum move in with me
She should not live on her own
I am not sure that I can do it...she will wear me down

My day was mixed. I thought I would sleep in but my damn burglar alarm falsely went off at 7:30 AM. I did lay back down but after I walked the dog. My racing thoughts were bad but I was able to sleep until 9:30 AM when mom called. I started stressing abt:

Would the Social Security try to give me SSi instead of SSDI?

What if Social Security do not give me all of my back pay?

What if I turn manic and blow my money?

I want to buy furniture. I had thoughts of what if I buy furniture that tears up in a year?

I fixed me and my daughter some breakfast and burned a candle. Later she started to really get under my skin. I sent her to her room turned the tv off and burned another candle again. I'm sitting here in the quiet. No tv, radio or talking. Just me typing and a candle burning and I feel kinda ok

Mum is not doing well, and is probably not able to live on her own.
I know that I would not be able to handle having her here

sigh....

I'm depressed and lethargic. I feel awful. I hope it gets better later in the day.

Doing ok but tired. Son woke me up at 4am and has been wanting me to play with him all day. I hate when he doesn't sleep well. Have chores and grocery shopping to do. Not sure how much of that will get done today.
Thanks for this!

Finally got a little more sleep, but had to take a Thorazine to do so. I'm so tired now. At least the jitters have gone.

A mix of emotions. Feel like going somewhere and connecting with others, but there is no one around. Feeling a bit odd about that.

I've been in bed all day. I had plans to go to the gym today, but when I woke up I was just too tired and did not want to do anything. So I ended up sleeping it away..

Still feeling rather zombie-like today. I had some nice moments earlier with my boyfriend, but he's left for work long ago and I'm back to feeling rather cynical and apathetic. I still really want to cry but my tears feel "stuck"

I have a doctor's appointment (primary care doctor) in a few hours. Nothing special, just getting the results of my blood work. I'm completely exhausted and don't want to go anywhere but I have to

I have an appointment in a little over an hour for a psych assessment at the hospital. I've been struggling lately. I hope I get some help.

I'm okay today. Actually I'm better than okay I for once have several plans that will take me out of the house to socialize. While I am a little anxious about it, I won't be alone and both individuals are aware of my anxieties and know the signs of when I need to make a hasty retreat

Anxious and depressed. I know in a few hours the dizziness will start, and I just want to escape. I hate weaning off Geodon, I just want this to be over. I have one more week of this. On top of it, with four med changes in a weeks time my mood is all over the place.

Really tired today. I slept okay, or so I thought. I had a BPD moment yesterday but I worked myself out of it. Emotional dysfunction is definitely not fun.

My daughter is being interviewed for a seasonal job tomorrow. I hope it turns out well.

Very tired today. My son is going through a spell where he keeps waking up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. We've been awake since 2:30am today. Hope he stops doing this soon because I can feel my mood shifting due to the lack of sleep.
