Irritable, anxious, elation

[gina_re]

I got to see my nephews last night! I can tell the older one does have some jealousy issues when it comes to his baby brother. But I'm so tired this morning. It was worth it, but I'm struggling to get through the work day. I just wanna...

[Unrigged64072835]

Got through another medical appointment. Tried to find the sleep clinic but no one was there. I may have to fax the consult sheet in and call them, wherever they're at.

Had a bit of anxiety this afternoon. I took my afternoon med and all seems to be quieting down.

My cat was sick today. Not keeping her food down. She does have an ear infection, so we need to treat for that. A cat getting meds stuffed down her ears is not a pleasant sight.

Finally took my meds today after about 7 days without them, almost forgot to.take them, but t I took them. Have my Grandpas memorial service tomorrow afternoon, not really looking forward to it, really worried there's going to be a fight between my Mom, Gramdma, and am Aunt amd Uncle of mine over my Grandpas ashes and his stuff. My sister was in a car accident today, she's okay, but her car was totaled. And I'm still.feeling like I live in a fake holographic world and nothing, no one and not even myself are real people, just holograms of people and things and figments of my imagination, idk, maybe the meds.will help with this, but I doubt it since whenever I feel this way, my heart skips a beat which tells me it's true, that I live in a holographic world and I'm not a real person...

I'm grumpy, my rent is going up from 372 to 654. I have no idea how my son and I will manage. I slept most of the day. I feel really crappy. I feel just blah...I'm so sick of meds. I'm sick of this illness. My mind feels so foggy. Nothing has changed but I'm having a really hard time studying for the written drivers test. I just don't know what to do...

heavens that is a big jump!
that sucks....

Yeah, that's a big jump. Oh wow.

Slept but still mixed. Woke up sobbing. See pdoc Monday. Ty for support. I'll pull through.

[raspberrytorte]

I will do anything to be back with my family. I will go back on seroquel. I will go on depakote. I will get fat and bald and bloated. I WILL DO ANYTHING. I will destroy my body.

I just found out that my grandmother tried to kill herself yesterday.

She has dementia, so sometimes she forgets that my grandfather passed away a few weeks ago. Well, she remembered it last night and tried to kill herself by taking a whole bottle of Advil... like the 30 or whatever number of pills. So, she had to be rushed to the hospital to get her stomach pumped. Now she's being held for her own safety.

It's a bit stressful

I'm so sorry it's come to this for you. Hopefully you can find some meds that won't do that to you.

I hope she will be ok. If Tylenol is in her home, it needs to be removed permanently. An OD on Tylenol can cause permanent liver damage and is very dangerous. She would need a liver transplant and likely wouldn't qualify. In a way, it is better she went with Advil.

I took Advil for years trying to control my chronic pain. I didn't want to take opioids. It didn't work but I kept on and remained in pain for twenty years. This led to tears in my stomach and I can never take it again. My pdoc and GP said my pain management must now be through opioids, which is carefully managed.

Hopefully pumping her stomach prevented damage. I had to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy. It wasn't a big deal. Perhaps inquire if she needs those procedures to determine her health status. Ask what she can take in the future for pain. Advil still may be ok it depends on how she fared with getting it out of her system. I personally would remove Tylenol from her home, regardless. Whether she can be at home and manage alone is likely an issue. My personal experience is that being in a Memory Care Unit may be best for her despite likely reluctance by her of needing to leave her home.

I'm no doctor but I have life experience on transplant approval. My mom was denied a kidney transplant.

I am here for you. Are your parents making the primary decisions about all of this? I'm concerned this stress will be unhealthy for you. I shouldered the burden of my mom's dementia and terminal illness. It was very hard. I hope the responsibility does not lay with you. Visiting her and doing small helpful tasks is not a bad thing.

i am feeling emotionally drained.

so as you know- through no fault of my own, i managed to break my sterrio, yesterday i go to watch coach trip on the tv and what happens... the tv stops working!

ugg right now i just feel like stop my life all ready.. it's 1 thing after another these past few days

still, managed to take it out on some inocent people and that always feels good (naturally)

today when i went to view my notifications on pc the forum decided not to load the page!. cmon, gimme a break

We've removed everything pills wise, but apparently she said she has some of my grandpa's prescriptions stashed away. She's been threatening to take his medication when we're not looking... and she won't tell us where she hid it all. We'll have to clean every inch of her house to find it... and well, her house is a total mess.

But I guess it's a good thing she threatened to take his medication because we'd never know her intentions otherwise.

So far, there doesn't appear to be any damage done to her innards (thankfully), but I'm not sure which tests the hospital plans to do on her, or which tests they already have done.

My parents aren't making the primary decisions. My aunt (my dad's sister) is doing it all for us because she lives about 2 hours away by car. We live about 4 hours away by plane, then an additional 2 hours from the airport.

We've been trying to get her on a plane so that she can be checked out at a hospital here in Boston, but she doesn't have any government-issued ID... which means there's no way she can get on a plane. That's why we haven't done anything with her yet... but we plan to put her in a nursing home. (Where she lives, the hospitals and nursing homes aren't very good.)

I hope your Grandma will be okay in the long run. Sending you and your family warm thoughts and hugs.

[OctobersBlackRose]

Have my Grandpas memorial service today, not looking forward to it because it means his death was really real and I'll never see him again in his earthly form. Sighs, I really miss him, I miss talking to him late at night, and in general miss his presence, there is an energy gone in my house, and I can feel it...

[Daonnachd]

Nothing about me, but hugs for Blue and Black. May you both have peace at times like this.

[Unrigged64072835]

My husband has been rewiring the network in our house, so it means interruptions here and there. I'm doing alright.

Blue and Black, I hope you're doing alright despite the circumstances.

[hopeless2015]

Still on bed, drank too much last night and paying for it dearly. Hugs to Blue and Black!!

well my tv is working again, yay

now to fix the slightly more annoying problem of the sterrio

[gina_re]

I'm still in bed. This is my first Saturday being a bum and it is a beautiful feeling.

[Coffeee]

I'm a bit bored but happy it's Sat and my husband is with me. I am a bit down I think not doing some things I need to and I'm recovering from surgery so I can't do much.

I'm going to stay on haldol, so now, upon reflection, I don't think I'm going to have to change antipsychotics, and now haldol doesn't seem to be causing weight gain. At this moment in time it's not causing any side affects at all.

It's just the mood stabilizer I'm worried about. Or maybe they won't have to do anything because right now, other than situational depression, I'm doing okay.

Thanks, rose.

[raspberrytorte]

Now I can add my sister to the list of people who are being weird around me now. Yea.
