I've been doing pretty good since the doctor put me back on Saphris. Feeling much better than when I was on Rexulti.

Had appt. today. Was VERY spacey morning into afternoon when I realized I'd forgotten to take my meds. Or last night's pm dose either. Wisely decided to head straight home, take meds and eat instead if trying to run errands.

Sfter 3 weeks of balancing on a tightrope, today I feel okay!

I've managed to turn my motivation in to productivity today, to write.

Been sluggish. My pdoc upped my Abilify and I've been crawling like a snail since. It seemed to get rid of the depression, though.

She also did one of those DNA tests to see which meds I actually react to. Maybe she can figure out something that will work better without me being wiped out.

My room desperately needs to be cleaned. Why can't I get any motivation to do things that need to be done?!

I'm in shock, got hired if the background check goes though. Worried they will find out I'm crazy though.

Worked at home today. Knocked off a little early. Taking a week off of work. Kind of anxious about it. Worried I forgot to wrap up a loose end. Or that I will never dig out of the work that will pile up when I'm gone. Worried I'll be bored on vacation. Too broke to really do anything unless my tax refund comes through fast.

Now I need to frantically get my house cleaned by noon Sunday!

It's past dinner time and I have yet to eat. I don't know anything that delivers around here besides pizza or Chinese. Pizza I had for lunch. Chinese, not in the mood. I haven't showered since Tuesday, so that means I'm not going anywhere to offend anyone with this smell . Only option is to find a drive thru. Stealing from my savings for junk food. I don't care anymore. I've lost my "let's eat healthy" campaign again.
I barely got thru work today, I wasted so much time doing nothing because I could not focus on anything.
I can't wait for the weekend!

Spring mania has ariived for me. Been noticeably hypo for about a week. Aside from some spending, which I did before I recognized I was hypo, I think I'm ok and things are safe. The hypo sure feels physical. When I'm hypo, my heart races like crazy! I'm all amped up. It's not anxiety, but it feel similar chemically. I'm getting some strange thoughts, but my pre heheared reality checks are keeping grounded mostly. I'm trying med free right now, but I know there is a chance I may need additional help. I feel like things are good for now. My husband is watching me. I think things will be ok. Just hope things don't get worse. I must stay grounded. My sleeping is bad. Up for 24hrs, sleep for 4. That can't continue much longer though.

Apparently the right combination of Depakote, Seroquel and Valium will allow you to sleep pretty close to 24 hours a day for extended periods. Someone told me today that Seroquel is a popular prescription to obtain in the American prison system because it allows you to sleep through your sentence.

That is interesting information. Sleep through years of prison. Interesting concept. TG I am not in the position to find out if this is possible. As far as are things with me, I am waiting for a silly program to finish running of my pathetically slow computer system. My mother is coming out of her bedroom every fifteen minutes asking whether she can sleep here. When I say "Yes", she then asks me either where her bedroom is located, or if she can sleep down the hall (where her bedroom is located). This has been her home for over 25 years. It is too late to go to the neighbors. So I guess I will look up a movie on Netflix. Nothing much on TV. Oh well! Perhaps stay up late at night? Where is the popcorn?

I have been IP a week now and seem to be calming down but I am still stuck to the ceiling in some places. Very irritable, agitated and anxious. Mood is low but not depressed. Taking lots of antipsychotics to calm me down. They actually help thankfully. Feeling sad that I have had to drop out of university this semester due to illness. Trauma issues are rearing their ugly head too making life just that bit more difficult. My plan is to use this time off uni (I will still work though) to sort myself out and also increase my skills for my photography and writing double major. I just need my health to treat me well for a change.

It's hit the fourth week since I've been unstable now. Last night I was so hyped up, the energy in my body was just too unbearable for me to deal with. It's a shame it's Easter weekend here as my doctor won't be available until next week.

My chatty mind has been driving me insane. Too many different thoughts in my head at the same time. Last night I got out of bed at 2am to exercise the energy out as I was too irritable to cope with it. Then I made the decision to double my dose of seroquel.

I've had a drowsy day today and I've struggled with tiredness all day, but at least my mind is quiet now. I forgot how peaceful it can be.

Didn't leave the house. Did some writing, which is very rare. A critical business partner invited himself over to try to sun-bleach the foxing off a print in a tray of water in the driveway, but the print disintegrated. He hung around a while, talking about his departure to Japan on Thursday. He wants to buy a house in one of the towns around Lake Biwa but the realty in that area is notoriously monopolized by the yakuza and he cannot look for a house without a referral to a clean realtor, which has proven elusive. My wife, mother-in-law and I realized for the first time in ten years that he cannot speak or understand Japanese, despite his familiarity with archaic signatures and scripts. I almost made a major koa sale, which might still happen, for a consignor who worked in the porn industry. Didn't leave the house. Don't want to leave the house tomorrow. either.

Things have been going well. Not much to complain about. Started a diet last week and it's going pretty good. Just too hungry sometimes. Feel better for eating healthy though. I started exercising too which is helping my mood.
Thanks for this!
