E-mailed my pdoc a long letter...hope she read it and doesn't think that I was manic when I wrote it. I feel like she is punishing me for my hypo mania these past 6 months when she actually caused it. I got manic on trazadone. (she doesn't like the fact that I drink and took klonipin to sleep) she lowered my geodon to help with memory issues which was a bad idea. now that it is back up to 80mg twice daily I feel good more sane.

Managed to get myself to work, I'm a mess though I've already bawled twice. All anyone in my life cares about is that I go to work, it doesn't matter if I'm well or not just go to work. The all mighty dollar is more important than anything else. Money is the devil

Woke up with anxiety. Cancelled a breakfast with a good friend. She is understanding and we'll talk on the phone later today. Did my devotionals and read some from a book. Sewed a little.
Tomorrow through Mother's Day are busy days for me. Am praying I can keep up. Next week is bad too. Going to MLB game for son's birthday and going to a college graduation for other son. This kind of stuff is really stressful for me.

Worst. Headache. Ever.
I was unable to work yesterday because it was so uncomfortable. I informed my pdoc regarding the off and on tension headaches after I signed off from work. But yesterday, it would not stop. 8am to 8pm. I called the advice nurse from my insurance company and he told me I could go into urgent care, so I did. Neurologically she said I was fine based on the follow the finger, move your tongue from to side etc type of tests. She gave me a shot of toradol which is for migraine sufferers. 15 or 20 minutes later, no change. Based on my current cocktail, she was wasn't quite sure what to prescribe outside of a narcotic. Which she said was not really for headaches, but she gave me two and to follow up with my doctor (who I do not like and will not go to and would rather just deal with my pdoc). But I haven't heard back from her yet. All the percocet did was make me hella dizzy this morning. My head still feels like it's being squeezed. I finished eating about an hour ago, and doing my best to keep drinking water.

if that's broken all weekend.. it will be a nightmare- so easiest just to get someone out today

gave my present that i baught for my sister back to the postman, it wasn't as hard as i thought it was going to be (though i still had a heavy heart while doing it)

expecting a heatwave this weekend (we probably won't get it, but that's what they say)

I hope these depressive issues I'm dealing with lately are due to the rainy weather we've been having the past couple of weeks. Otherwise I'm headed down the rabbit hole again. But my new nephew should be here any day now and hopefully that brings me back up.

Well still waiting for this bipolar thing to go away.
I took two Advil that should do the trick. LOL

Today I feel as though life could be fun again!
I left my doctor a message about my troubles which makes me feel accomplished. I never reach out. My therapist pushes me to, and I chicken.

I was feeling really good before and today I'm like BLAH. The end of the semester plus recovering from my illness has left me overwhelmed. Despite being relieved, I'm not handling well the change in daily routine. I'm cranky and listless.

Sick but took a shower. Hoping to feel better physically and get s few things done around the house. I'm feeling emotionally stable-ish.... Or at least in the same realm as stable.

Went to first of two committee meetings today. First set of people treated me really rudely. I used to let things like that bother me, but I'm not going to anymore.

Well, i seem to be skipping my Spring hypomania. It for the best but i miss the fun. I saw my doctor about weight-neutral meds and he said he wasn't optimistic that switching up one anti-psychotic for another would help. That was disappointing news but the Seroquel does seem to be working for cutting off the top end of the mood spectrum so i'm not too disappointed. I'll just have to put up with being fat. I don't mind being single anyways. It's so much simpler.

Mission accomplished.

When can I change mine?

Is there a manual for it?

Glad you still exist. Optimism!

Edit:
I don't like "Poohbah".

Where can you change it?

Got up and felt amazing anxiety which got worse as the morning went on. At 1030 realized I had not taken my meds. Loaded up on Klonopin and feel calmer. Just disappointed in myself I did not walk today. I need exercise to relieve stress.

Determined and optimistic.

No cause for it, naturally.

After sleeping the day away, I took a much needed shower. Mom is bringing me dinner and my pdoc wrote me back...I can come down on lamictal. I honestly would like to be off of it period. I don't think it has done anything but cause me problems period. We'll see.

The world is burning all around me. People's homes are gone, pets are lost, and families
torn apart. Forests look like a bomb went off.

I am safe, and my heart hangs heavy for those who are not.
