Had a super time at Scrabble club tonight! Really tried hard in my games and was rewarded. I feel hope for my game. Maybe i can really make a go of this! I realized recently that i have to play by my wits more and not by studying. I put reminders all over my apartment and on the lock screen on my iPod. Seems to have worked!

This has been a good week so far, started taking 5htp this morning, I'll see if helps with my mild depressed mood. That seems to be my baseline and I'm sick of it

I've been super duper exhausted, but I have a feeling things are turning around

Frustrated I'm trying to move. I met with the manager Monday from the apartments I have in mind. I called all day yesterday and received no answer. I just called and no answer. I really hope my credit was not too bad or my current landlord said bad things. I would hope they would be glad to get me gone. I'm so not happy where I am and they know it. Man I hope a miracle happens. I've heard good things about this place. I know it won't be peaches and cream tho

Just a lot of anxiety today, woke up with a really bad headache. It's now gone, good thing cause I need my music fix, I'm currently obsessed with a band and for the past week or so their whole cataloge is all Ive been listing to, so yeah, my obsession with bands can go pretty far...

I went to fill my prescription yesterday and found out Latuda costs $1000 per month. Unfortunately it's the only med that has worked well for me. The hospital pharmacy was nice enough to give me a voucher today for a free 28 day supply but I don't know what I will do after then. I didn't take my meds last night and I'm already having symptoms again.

My youngest son didn't go to school today. He took pictures of the toilet each time he went to document and have "proof" of the diarrhea....so I've been looking at literal sh !it all day. He's doing better now but I can't help but laugh at his evidence

If you make a post about this (start a thread) some people will have suggestions and advise since they've been through it.

Spent about $2000 on snowboard stuff within the past 2.5 weeks. Yikes...

Bought: 2nd snowboard, boots, bindings, 2nd jacket dedicated to snowboarding, 2 pairs of mitts, new helmet, 2nd pair of goggles, Under Armour Cold Gear compression shirts/leggings, face mask, snow pants, belt for snow pants, and 4 pairs of snowboarding socks. Also bought season pass for the local mountain...

I didn't even look to see how much money I had in my bank account. Sh#t. I don't want to know

I'm feeling speedy today. There's moments where I've felt really confident and productive, but then times during the day I felt very anxious and hypervigilent, slightly paranoid. I was hearing things...conversations loudly before sleep when I went to bed around 1:30. I got a few hours of sleep thanks to Seroquel, but then I was up at 4 AM with no need to sleep and went to work at 7 AM. I'm still feeling wired, not tired. Little sounds during the day sounded louder. I feel a little on edge, but sharp. Took 2 klonopins to calm down, but I didn't notice a difference. I don't feel I'll be able to sleep well tonight, and I have work early tomorrow.

I thought I was hypo for awhile...then manic...then thought for sure it's PTSD related but the doctors said it's classic mania even though my sleep isn't bad. It was night before last but other days it was just ideas of reference mixed with very wired feelings and behaviors. My head has felt "floaty" and ears feel clogged even though they aren't and I hear clearly. My head just feels so spacey and strange. I can't even explain it properly.

Had a major league panic attack last night. Sure, I know they can't kill you, but I have to admit I wasn't entirely convinced of that at the time(!) Still a little shook up over it today. Yikes.

Nonetheless, did some excavating in the always terrifying Mount Paperworkandassortedcrap on my desk --but it was long overdue. Feel pretty good about the things I did get done.

Still, there's a gray cloud hanging over me that I just can't seem to shake...
But I *did* finally take a shower!

Have you tried goodrx.com?
They offer coupons and tell you where to get prescriptions the cheapest. I haven't looked for latuda, but some of my prescriptions have been so cheap the pharmacists couldn't even believe it! Good luck!

My partner told me in bed last night that he is worried about me. Then it all hit me like a Mack truck.I thought I was doing ok, but as I think over the last few weeks I clearly wasn't. Why do I always have to be the last to know?

Feel lack crap. Missed work today because afraid of falling asleep at the wheel again and/or having mood issues because I just stopped the Seroquel on my own because of the above. I hate missing work, because it makes me feel weak. I would have had to have gotten up just before 4 today, but slept till 9 and that's without having taken Seroquel last night. Maybe it was still in my system. Maybe I should get a medical check to see if there's anything physical contributing to my sedation, as it's never been this bad on such a low dose (I had gotten it down to 25 mg which I've been on before).

Checking in. Having a pretty decent day at work, getting ready to finish a 7-page report draft. It's been the bane of my existence this week, so it'll be good to have it finished before the weekend.

Slow day today. I ended up taking a long nap, which is unusual. Still did a walk this morning although it was cold. Other than that I haven't been doing much.
