Started a new book, Dog Medicine by Julie Barton. Only 30 plus pages in but she does a wonderful job discribing depression. The thoughts and lethargic physical response of the body. I too have found myself on the floor staring at one spot unable to get up. She has only experienced the depression side of this illness but she's good at discribing it. It says on the back of the book that she recovers or heals when she adopts a puppy. Just thought I'd recommend the book.

Very bad day. Meds making me very sleepy and depressed so I can't control myself from sleeping. I'm so tired and so worried about my son. He is not acting right at all....threatening, accusing, name calling to his whole family. He's staying with his father which is so hard but I have to think we made the best choice. I thought the hospital was best but his dad wanted to try and today says we should have taken him to the hospital. He tried to put him in rehab but they said he would just leave so they wouldn't accept him. I can't write about all he is doing and saying but it's terrifying. I'm so afraid he will hurt himself or someone else. Instead of getting better by the day, he's getting worse. I've been hanging on by a thread myself so I'm trying to stay strong because that is what my son needs. I know everything he's doing and saying are not coming from my son. He's sick and we just need to get him the right help. I'm afraid I'm too close to the situation to know what is right.

I am sorry elsa.
Don't know how old your son is, is he still a minor?
You can have him admitted either way on a 72 hour hold if he is a danger to himself or others and it sounds like he is.
I am sorry it is so hard.

Not good. Dreams of past and future converging, which I guess makes sense, because as a peer counselor, that's literally my job... it was terrifying though... I don't wanna trigger anyone, so I'll spare the gory details, but basically, I was being heavily persecuted for something I couldn't even remember that I did (in the dream) in my very distant past very publicly. The good news on this dream is that I finally stood up for myself - knowing I'm covered by the ADA, I announced, you know what? It's time to take my meds and walked out. People tried to stop me and I threw up deuces straight in their faces.

My day started in the ER with my Mom.She`s been having trouble with anxiety lately and she saw her doctor on Friday and her doc gave her something for her anxiety.Well she had a bad reaction to it.One of the side effects hit her hard so she can`t take it anymore.After we got back home my younger sister and her kids spent most of the day with us.Anyway I`m really worried about my Mom.I want her to be okay again.

struggled to do much of anything yesterday.

1 minit I knew what was going on, next I felt completely disorientated

didn't sleep again

only thing I really want to do today is binge (so the same as yesterday really)

with all this food, why not

I should probably try for at least 1 regular meal, but hmm

annoyed at myself because when I went to check emails today, I deleted my trivia challenge (I have my email set up that once it's deleted from the inbox, it's removed from the server)

I thought well.. I have this really cool email filter now. i can deal with everything else- then do the trivia challenge

oh well

few posts here then back to eating

Soooo... I slept 18.5 hrs yesterday between nighttime sleep and nap sleep. Thank GOD I only got 3 hrs last night!

My brain loathes Seroquel, evidently! All 300mg of it made me sleep for an eternity! It's done this before, too.

Screw sleep. I don't want to fix my hypomania anyways. (Everyone loves hypo anyways )

Another night of no sleep. Every other night 0 hours of sleep....this keeps up I'm afraid for my stability. I have gotten to really enjoy my stability.

This weekend I've had a lot of paranoia in public places. Still, I was able to go to the mall and the movies without showing my fear. But then after I ate at a restaurant, I thought I had been poisoned. Since Friday my sex drive has been in high gear, even in my dreams, but I have fortunately not done anything about it.

I saw Bad Santa 2. I haven't seen the first movie, but this one was pretty funny. I felt like sometimes they tried too hard to be funny by sticking in swear words anywhere they could, but overall I was entertained.

I'm just home from church. The snow storm we had left the roads a MESS! I had to go 10-15 all the way home taking care to stop slowly well before I needed to. I called my 19 yo and told him to stay in.

Riddled with anxiety. I have to travel in a week to see family on the opposite coast. Traveling and its preparations (and Christmas presents) send my anxiety into the stratosphere.

I have things to do. Preparations to make. But I'm paralyzed by anxiety. Do I take that PRN klonopin or do I save what I have for more pressing days (my travel days and any emergencies)? I'm scared of missing planes, of not having enough meds with me. When my anxiety hits too high, everything scares me.

Will I be able to handle my 3 little nephews' deafening noise (when I'm very anxious, I can't take noise)? Will I be able to get enough sleep (no), I need lots of sleep with the meds I take.

My family is splintered, everyone is divorced, some remarried.

I'm so anxious. So scared... Will I make it to the other side unscathed? Will I enjoy myself sometimes despite everything?

Right now I'm sitting on the couch watching the snow fall outside. I'm debating on whether to take a shower or not.

Hey guys, still here. Managed to find a support group on Facebook for women on the Autism spectrum, which is good, so now I have my support here for bipolar and support on Facebook for my aspergers. Did laundry today, actually socialized and messaged a couple of people I went to highschool with on Facebook, hopefully I can keep finding subjects to talk with them about. So I can tell my therapist that I'm actually socializing. It's snowing here, we're under a winter storm warning until tomorrow morning, we're expecting 7-11 inches of snow. And I'm dreading having to shovel it tomorrow. Well that's what's been going on.

It's raining here, but it will turn to ice overnight.

Quiet day today. Learned some things but also cleaned house and made dinner. Tomorrow will be busy with pdoc, T, and picking up meds. Tuesday I see my regular doc. Both pdoc and regular doc will go over my lab results. Oh fun.

More snow for michigan? We had a bit last night. Kids are hoping for a snow day tomorrow but I don't see it. Then again the driving was HORRIBLE today so if the salt and shovel trucks don't get out I don't think they'll have school.

Edit: call came in! No school

It's so cold here (-43) that the snow crunches underfoot. The sky is clear and the moon is as bright as a beacon. I want to dance in the moonlight and drink in her energy.
