I went out to dinner with friends. It's the first time i've gone to a strictly social event in over a year. I feel stirred up.

Going to court in 15 minutes, already took an extra anxiety pill, hope the judge isn't mean. I've already told myself I'm not going to fall apart. This is over a debt, I will be ok no matter what. Just wish I had my bankruptcy over with so this wouldn't be happening

Took an increased dose of seroquel (to be titrated up more over the next couple of weeks) last night and couldn't sleep. Took 25 mg more, couldn't sleep. Took 3 (supposed to take 2 prn) propranolol couldn't sleep. Finally around 3 or 4 I managed it.

Seroquel used to knock me out at any dose, so I'm really confused I also got 6 hrs of sleep and am fine, when normally Seroquel makes me sleep forever and a day when I can. I'm wondering whether this is going to be an all-around good thing (less side effects) or bc there are less s/e now, it won't work as well? I'm scared all around of this medication, I've taken it at these higher doses before and the s/e were horrendous.

I'm going to a wedding today and though my depression is starting to lift I don't know how I'm going to be in such a situation (basically having to deal with lots of people).

Also, I go back to work on Monday and thereafter won't have much time to post here -I've been posting a lot and it's been helping me so much!

I need to get myself into something but i don't know what. I have hobbies but no interest. Pdoc adjusted my Abilify to see if I could stop feeling numb and flat. I also have another lab for my Depakote level. Joy.

My mood is good today. I think the abilify kept me from going down the rabbit hole. Maybe not. Either way, I'm headed in more of an up direction. Nothing to fear though, not too up. I'm good I think. All is well. Now I should get my house cleaned a bit. It's very messy. I'm so messy. Everyone in my house is so messy. Mess, mess, mess

I'm genuinely messy most of the time. Scattered. I have way to much stuff for the space I'm in. I keep buying crap I have no place for. It's a cycle of mess. I'm more messy than dirty but what's the difference once things are scattered about too much. I grew up with 2 working parents and cleaning house was never a priority. But my room was always a problem. It's part of my personality. i'll get super clean freak when Hypo and go around organizing everything, buying special baskets to organize. Then it all falls apart.

With my wand I'd create another wand and send it to you.

Husband thinks I'm hypomanic. I don't know what to think. I'm sleeping fine so I'm not too worried.

I have exactly the same problem. I have good intentions, but don't know where to begin.

Feeling rather depressed. Don't want to do anything or go anywhere. My husband wants me to go with him to Ft. Worth. I don't really want to go, but I feel like I never do anything for him so I'm planning on trying to go if the anxiety doesn't get too bad.

Everyone gets a wand! You're like a Oprah, Nammu.

Someone mighta seen it, I'll be seeing a psych doctor, this one is a "substitute" one, and he thinks he can cure shizophrenia with his gadgets. I don't like the guy already, and I'm an honest guy, I'll be telling him that he or his place won't be treating me, or putting some labels that I don't need.

Rosenhan experiment?

They got the unit to lock me up, nooo, I'm not needing medical attention, then why? It's complicated.

I thought it was gonna be next week, it should be interesting. Gotta get a move on.

Had to get back on Latuda because I stopped it cold turkey and it caused severe depression.

My GP recommended that I stop it for health reasons, so I stopped it, but I never talked to my pdoc about it (who I'm sure is now going to help me wean myself off it).

Nevertheless, I'm doing much better now that I'm back on Latuda.

Today has been hard. As much as I love my brother and am excited he's moving here, at the same time I want my space. He doesn't know what's been going on with me and I'm not sure I want to tell him at the moment.

Very scared and anxious about going back to work tomorrow after 1 week off for the flu and another week to go through the beginning's of titrating up Seroquel again.

I'm afraid I won't get up on time, I'm afraid I'll forget how to do certain stuff at work (it's still a relatively new job), I'm afraid of sedation and cognitive/memory difficulties bc of the Seroquel. I also really get dry mouth from it, and since I'm an interpreter and talk all day, I eventually get to the point where I sound like I've had a stroke as far as my speech. Yes, very scared and anxious...

Waiting to be reviewed by my doctor to see if I can be discharged so I can go on holiday. I had a bad weekend so I'm concerned he won't let me go. I have SI and feel all I have to live for is my 4 day holiday in Sydney.
