Went to a local park and took pictures this morning. I selected the best ones and will be putting them up sometime this week. There's more than usual so it may take a while.

Still had some anxiety but I didn't take the L-methylfolate so it wasn't as bad and I could take a nap. That means it may be the Latuda that's causing it. Since it's being used as a mood stabilizer and AP I have to be careful about it. I hate to go back to the pdoc and say it's not working, but there ya go.

Got some chores done. Got the grocery shopping done. Made a pot of homemade chicken soup. Now I am going to eat and relax with some reading, I think. I am hoping I can do a better job this week at keeping up with the day to day chores! May start working out in the mornings. My pdoc has been up my rear about doing that for a good couple years now. My goal is to try to exercise for 2 days this week.

Feeling pretty good today. Got groceries done this morning. Husband and I went to Outback for lunch. Just laying around and got laundry going on now

[OctobersBlackRose]

Did laundry, been another lazy day, burnt my mouth on my dinner any now everything tastes metallic, yuck. Got my psych appointment tomorrow afternoon, going to ask to be assessed for a.couple of disorders mainly Scizhotypical PD and Avoidant PD, very nervous to though, scared that she might think I'm trying to self diagnose, I'm not, or that she'll judge and criticize me for it, but I want to put my mind at ease, and know before I decide to get a neuro-psych assessment for Autism. Like I said I'm scared to, and idk how to approach the subject, and my anxiety may get in the way of the whole thing.

I know what it's like to live in an old house with old.pipes, my house is about 80 or 90 years old. Also my bathtub gets clogged everytime I take a shower. You're not alone in the old house club. Hope you can get your sink unclogged, hugs

I've had a moderate headache since yesterday that's been making me feel nauseous, so I haven't eaten much in the past 48 hours. Ibuprofen isn't helping much here, either.

Otherwise, I'm doing okay, but I can sense a decline in my mood. I'm not depressed yet, but I probably will be. Oh well. That's expected when you come down from a manic episode where you're hallucinating and stuff... but at least I can mentally prepare for the worst.

Still feeling sick yet suspiciously energetic--hope I don't lose my voice before I get a chance to talk to my doctor tomorrow. A friend talked me out of repainting my bedroom today (had no plans on doing that project until this morning), but I still drove to Ikea to get a couple things...at least I didn't spend a ton of money there.

Also, most of my alcohol has survived the weekend.

Hi guys

[Wander]

Depression seems to be easing a bit. On Saturday I went strawberry picking with my sister and nieces and nephews. I actually felt joy at times playing with the kids. In the mornings I wake up exhausted still but not in deep depression, just very flat. During the middle of the days I seem more normal in mood and then I dip down again in the evenings.

Today is my fourth day of reducing Latuda from 40mg to 20mg. Not sure if that has affected my mood but it is since then that I have begun to feel better. Coincidence maybe? The only side effects of reducing that I have felt are a bit if insomnia and feeling more emotional, a bit volatile. Still, I am doing well over all. Keeping up with study and work. Might even go for a long, brisk walk today to burn of the anxiety and depression. It has been so hard to motivate myself in this depression to exercise.

I am feeling lazy today.

not productive

at least i got the splinter out though- thanks guys

This increased dose of depakote makes me not want to drink or smoke or take my meds. Or maybe it's a limited amount I can consume. I had some yogurt first thing this morning but now I can't drink my coffee and the thought of smoking sort of turns my stomach. The thought of taking the 5 pills I need to this morning also turns my stomach.

Ugh. My mood seems ok though? I just feel gross and therefore don't want to do anything.

[bioChE]

The pills are needed. The smoking not so much.

It's my birthday!
I feel amazing too!

[hopeless2015]

Happy Birthday...enjoy your day!!!

I'm feeling pretty good today. Didn't want to get out of bed but that's everyday for me lol. I'm fine now that I showered and got myself ready and came to work. Concentration is low but I can deal...taking little breaks as needed

This is true. I'm just worried if I spend the day without caffeine or nicotine my mood will tank (I gave up caffeine once before and I was depressed for 2 weeks).

Also water is important, and I don't even want to drink that. I can't wait for these side effects to go away.

Treated my mum to brunch.

Happy birthday!! Hope you have an amazing day.

I spent most of today with a migraine. It seems to have passed now, but I couldn't go to T and didn't get anything done.

Pro tip: if "fresh" mozzarella smells even a little sketchy before its stamped expiration date, do not just rinse it off and eat it. Poisoned all weekend. I see my pdoc this afternoon for refills and laughs. I have moments of clarity when it seems as if everything is going to be okay, but they are few and fleeting.

I finally got to meet my new Pdoc for an evaluation and med follow up. I also had therapy today too, which went well. I like this pdoc much better. She listens and spent a lot of time with me and seemed genuinely concerned. I'm going to stick with her.....I have a lot more confidence that she will work with me and do what it takes to get me stable.

She switched me to extended release Lamictal and raised the dose, and kept the other meds the same. She did mention the plan is to put me on Lithium if there is no improvement, and I have a follow up visit in 1 week. I have a feeling it may come to that, but we'll see. The only thing I'm a little bummed about is that the pharmacy did not have the medication in stock, so I have to wait until tomorrow late afternoon for pick up. I also am crossing my fingers that it's not so much more money....all these doctor's visits, etc. are getting expensive.

I am relieved I found a great Therapist though and hope things continue to go well with this new Psychiatrist.

[OctobersBlackRose]

Had my psych appointment today, decided against asking her what I was going to ask about certain disorders. Went over to my Dads for dinner, was nice, watched some shows about tiny houses. Got my prescriptions, and now I'm home laying in bed waiting to get tired enough to fall asleep.

Had a sad but calm day.

Still alive.
