Anyone else feel this way sometimes? the god like thing...like i can see all my suburb, then city, then country, then whole world and then universe.
Yes. I thought I could touch everyone's thoughts with my own and save the world by spreading positive energy, in that way. I could see the entire universe moving in the sky and thought I was in control of the universe. It was ridiculous.

I am so freaking out right now. Smoking like a chimney when I'm supposed to be cutting back. Pacing around. I don't know how the future is going to play out and I hate it. I applied for disability and if I don't get it I have no idea what we're going to. Live here forever?! I want our own place again. My husband is going to have to work seventy hours a week in order for us to make it without me working.

And no. I'm not being a baby about the not being able to work thing. I tried it. I pushed myself too hard, and it ended up complete disaster.

I don't know. I'm just having serious, full fledged freak out!

My doctor put me on a super high dose of vitamin D because my vitamin D levels were pretty much non existent. I feel a million times better, other than being irritable as ****. I did a lot of yard work today. I hate yard work. I hate raking. I wanted to do the entire, massive lawn! Sorry. I know that's a pointless thing to say. I can't sleep either. Last night I was up all ****ing night. It was maddening. I hope I'm able to sleep tonight. But with how worked up I am right now I doubt it. I hate this. This is just sucky. This ****ing sucks. Just FUKK!!!!!!!

I sped so fast on the way home I thought I was going to crash and was screaming and screaming. It was traumatic for me. I gave so much to him thinking I can trust him.

I took a few benzos to calm down. The whole incident brought up everything bad I've gone through in the past. It hasn't helped that my BP symptoms are not well managed. I plan to call the pdoc ASAP, but tomorrow is Sunday, so she is not in the office. I know this whole incident will have me messed up for a while now. I told him I need space before being able to talk to him, but I know I can't get myself involved with him anymore and subject myself to more pain.

I'll be going into work tomorrow because I don't want to leave them in the lurch again (like I did on Friday) but I cancelled Wednesday. I'd have to get up at 3:30 for that shift and that along with the somnolence with falling asleep at the wheel feels like a recipe for disaster. I'll be talking to my mother on the phone (she's on the East coast) during my morning commute tomorrow and hope that keeps me awake.

But I'm getting blood tests on Tuesday and hope to have the results on Wednesday. If it's just the thyroid then I could get meds and have it resolved fairly quickly, if not, then more testing.

I'm afraid I'm screwing myself at work, but I have to take care of myself. I can't do that schedule and that's what's available that day (Wednesday).

I'm still very depressed, but took Seroquel last night and feel slightly better. I don't even know whether to take it on Monday or not, I need it for mood, but am afraid it will make sleepiness even worse. I'm at a loss.

As it is, I have no work the following week because all they had were extremely early schedules which I can't do right now.

Balancing work with mental and physical s*** is horrendous. I need to keep my job, but I need to take care of myself as well. It's a hellish balance.

I'm feeling better. Was strangely cheerful this morning despite interrupted sleep and the time change. Lots of energy. Made a fine breakfast of French toast and bacon and sausages with my hubs. Now I'm a bit more relaxed. Nothing planned for today just veg out.

It's starting to hit me.that tomorrow is my past appointment with me current psychiatrist, I.still don't know how I should feel, sad, angry, happy for.her, which I am. I'm also really nervous about who my new psychiatrist will be, we're assigned psychiatrists where I go for.services, so I have no choice in who I get, but do have a right to change if the new one doesn't work out for any reason. I know I got to let my concerns.be known, but I suck a.verbalizing my concerns.with people, Hell even weighting them is hard too. I'll try my best though to get out what I want to say tomorrow. I just wish I had more.than a weeks welp not even that, like 5 days notice cause I found out Wednesday morning after my case.manager told me that my psychiatrist is.retiring. So I don't know, I don't know what to feel, I guess I'm just really nervous for tomorrow, my appointment is at 1:15pm tomorrow, so I have to wait all this time and ruminate about all of this. I mean I only seen her since January of this.year, but we.meshed, she was.the first psychiatrist I could trust, she took my symptoms seriously, and worked with me through med changes, and for awhile I.seen her every two.week, now it has been six weeks since my last appointment. I just hope my new psychiatrist is nice and takes.me.seriously, and doesn't change my meds around on me since I'm now on a good combo of Geodon and Lamictal. But I don't know, this is all so sudden, I don't like.change, but I got to deal with it, I guess.this is where.my distress tolerance skills will come.into play especially radical acceptance... Well here's to things hopefully going well tomorrow.

I'm terrified of tomorrow. I've never been in the hospital before. Everyone says it's not as bad as it sounds but I'm still scared. I don't know what to expect... I don't know what to bring, what I'm allowed to bring, what I'm going to do all day....lay there? Can a bring a kindle?,the food...I'm picky, how often my meds will be changed... I just don't know

Many hospitals are online and have a short info section that explains the routine and what to bring and not bring. If you can't find one for where you are going maybe call and ask. Some places will let you have a nook and other will not. it will help you get stable.

yesterday i was dark manic and obsessed with death. About an hour after I woke up from broken sleep I went euphoric and am high as a kite with no darkness. Loving it. Feel like a god as I know everything and am hyper aware of all sights, sounds and smells and people around me. intoxicating. Want to change the world for good. bit anxious but clonazepam fixed that. Saw nurse, she was happy for me but seemed concerned i would get too high. My mind is amazing. processes so much info, more than i can consciously think. Im loving this. hope it stays

My hospital doesn't have any information online :/ I guess I'll figure it out when I'm there and have my mom bring me my stuff. Will they go through my purse? I'm not going to hide anything and don't even have a phone to bring.

If you bring your purse they will go though it. Plan to have your mom keep all your valuables as they will lock those up anyway.

Oh yikes. I think I might just leave it at home. Does anyone have any specific items that I should make sure to bring?
