Got out of the house again to see my parents. I'm on a streak, I'm on a roll. I hope I can keep this up. Burned the roof of my mouth really bad a few days ago. My whole head hurts from it. All the blisters popped and it's raw and achey and causing eye pain and headaches. It's slowed my eating down though, so that's a plus.

Great! Not about the roof of your mouth though. Doesn't have anything to do with vaping, I hope.

Do maintain your newly attained freedom by making use of it, even if you don't have to. It has to stick. Defy a stubborn mind until it gives in: nothing to fear.

Got up at 6 this morning, took an hour and a half to go about 18 miles. Sat though a boring training and have to go back tomorrow!

I'm upset. My mood stabilizer is no longer covered under my insurance. Why wouldn't they contact me somehow and let me know that my medication will no longer be paid for by their company? They did the same concerning my ADHD medication and I'm fed up.

Are you sure they won't cover it. I had a med change from 40mg in am then 80mg in pm...so that was 3 pills a day.
They would only pay for it 2 pills a day one 40 and one 80...weird.

I am so sorry you burned the roof of your mouth. That sounds really painful.
OUCH!
I hope it heals soon...does ice help?
I know this sounds weird but gargling with salt water may help it heal faster???
may sting though....

Thanks. Ice does help. I also have a numbing gel meant for toothaches, and it helps a little. The pain is really deep. I think it's hitting a lot of nerves. It really hurts and seems to feel worse as days past, rather than better. I may go in if it persists. Mouth wounds are suppose to heal fast but this is going in the opposite direction. I burned it on microwaved meatloaf. Never again.

I was diagnosed with bipolar 16 years ago and currently am being "maintained." I always worry that I'll have another episode. It's like waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I am trying to avoid stress. I've been episode-free for six and a half years, so I guess I'm doing okay. Do the rest of you worry about the next episode?

A giant suck is coming, but we do business. Old family clients return generations later. The business will end soon, but I will sell until I die.

Seriously confused. Not irritable or overwhelmed. Just the normal confusion I guess.

Well, as I was being checked out at the pharmacy counter, the tech told me that medication hadn't been approved for coverage. I asked that they make sure and the pharmacist call my insurance company. He was told that the company no longer covers Lamictal specifically.
I then made an *** of myself on the phone with the company rep, but to say I was angry is an understatement and I was past being polite.

Lamictal comes in a cheap generic, did they try to run it that way?
sorry about your insurance not covering....when they said that they would not cover my geodon I was looking at spending hundreds of dollars so thankfully they covered it. Once I had to buy it while out of the country in spain when my carry on bag got stolen...all of my meds etc. It cost me $500 to replace the geodon. Wow!

I'm in a mixed state, I suppose.
I push everyone away eventually. One day I'll end up completely alone.

Feeling a bit down, but I have a stomach virus so that makes sense. So tired. I was feeling better, and then this hits.

Really proud of myself right now. I spent the last two days in training and driving an hour and a half each way. Kept the anxiety at bay and I managed to concentrate and pass the tests both days. Woo hoo!
