Dr found a lump in my sister's breast during routine yearly exam, so now she is getting an ultrasound today to make sure it's not breast cancer. (My grandma had breast cancer... stage 2. Now in remission.)

Hopefully my sister is okay. She's only 18.

As a well-meaning stranger with zero medical training but legions of relatives dead from cancer of all varieties, I am sure that whatever they found it your sister, they found it early enough so it won't pose a problem, and everyone was exceptionally lucky that the anomaly was discovered early. Best of luck to you and yours.

I hope your sister is okay too.

I've managed to stop popping benzodiazepines during the day and I don't want to poison myself with ambien or diphenhydramine to sleep (genetic profiles and projections suggest that if I am lucky enough to experience old age, it will be neither stable or comfortable; drug-induced early dementia not required), but is waking every morning at 3AM sustainable? Oh yeah, I almost forgot that the illness is cyclical and nothing lasts for very long. Never mind. Have a nice day.

To my sisters and brothers in madness: Hide in plain sight and tell no one. Know your limitations, forgive yourself your errors and celebrate your victories. Our affliction is both liability and asset; Recognize, accept, conceal and mitigate your weaknessses, and deploy your strengths strategically and without warning. Bide your time and settle your scores. Pay no attention to lunatics posing as puppets from children's television shows pontificating on bipolar check-in threads at 5AM, high on vapor and valproic acid.

I've been having a lot of work stress and anxiety for a few weeks. It's been keeping me up at night. Not sure if what goes through my head is true or not. I've been thinking about finding another job out of fear that I'll soon be fired. But I don't want to quit either. I've been there 9 years and mostly like my job. Not sure what to do.

Took my SSRI and had bad anxiety for most of the day. Won't do that again.

Otherwise it's been a typical day.

Happy but bored.
I don't have enough to think about.

Went to a Detroit Tigers game today, yay baseball! It was really fun, very hot, but fun. Now after being in the heat all day I'm tired out, a cold shower helped though, so that's good. A good day overall, and I was able to eat finally, yay!

Stuck to my low-sodium diet and fought off a wobble and took a shower.

proud of my hubby for taking himself to the er for chest pains.
He did not have a heart attack but needs more testing done.

I don't know what's going on.....whether I'm rapidly cycling or starting to enter a mixed state. Both the manicky symptoms and the feeling of being depressed are both there at once. I am very irritable, super sensitive to things, and I cannot sleep at all. I'm definitely planning on cutting down on caffeine. I took a lot of benzos along with my PM meds to bring me down and.....nothing. My thoughts are racing, and I feel pressured to stay up and do a whole bunch of things, even though I will be getting less than five hours of sleep before work by now. Not sure if I'm going to call out of work or not (at least in the morning), but it might look bad, and I already used a personal day recently when I had car trouble. I'm dreading tomorrow.

Med change left me sleepy from doubling up. I fought it though and put in a good days work. Mood is kinda pessimistic and anxious but I'm working on that with some journal time.

Turns out my sister has a malignant tumor that she has to have removed

She's going to see the surgeon today for a consultation. Then surgery will probably be done ASAP as far as I can tell.

I think she has a difficult road ahead of her now. She has a lot of big decisions to make as far as future preventative measures go.

You are doing great! keep up your hard work, it is paying off. You can feel quite proud of yourself. Know that as your weight goes down then your blood pressure will go down. so don't be too obsessed with monitoring it....it will take time. You are going in the right direction for sure!!!!

did okay today.

managed to make it through the day without losing any time, snapping, or getting stressed

I've been angry. Last week I was incredibly angry and couldn't find a reason for anything to exist at all. This week, I again feel as though nothing matters at all in this world least of all me. What's different however, is how I feel about that. I feel free. And happy. And the most confident I have felt in a serious amount of time. I feel capable and strong in my brokenness. I feel lighter,and I feel like I will never be the same again. I am renewed.

Even if nothing matters at all and there is zero point to my existence on this earth or a purpose in the existence of said "earth" at all.

Or a porpoise on this earth at all.

Went out to breakfast, then to the store with my Grandma, $150 later, I got a new pillow, some.sheet sets, and a few other things. Then met my Mom, and sister for dinner. Now I'm home and listening to music, not a bad day over all.

[Unrigged64072835]

Had a pretty good day. Anxiety was under control. Nice to not want to hit the ceiling.
