Managed to get my *** out of bed today. Back on the downside and very frustrated. Thought of calling pdoc for med increase but also think I'm going to end up a zombie if I keep increasing. Just don't care today!

Feeling numb today.

[Daonnachd]

I had ECT yesterday, so I'm doing quite well aside from the headache, but it's nearly gone, anyhow.

[Unrigged64072835]

Went to PT today. 20 minutes traction. Back feels better.

Recumbent stationary bicycle came in. Pretty neat. Now to get the yoga stuff.

I didn't feel well most of today so I took a long nap. Still feel tired. Trying to put up with it.

As usual, I got up and came to work. I'm actually getting a lot done, and it's a nice change from my normal apathy. I think the Taurine, Guarana, and Vitamin B complex combo is doing a lot to boost my mood over the last week or so.

This weekend (starting tomorrow), I'm taking my family on a trip to attend my sister-in-law's wedding. Should be a pretty good time, although it involves the stress of travel and the like. I'll be watching the kids a lot since my wife is in the wedding, but it will be good to see relatives and such. Looking forward to the break from work.

Mood is still low but I'm at work and trying to be productive, I know this will pass but I'm actually moving more towards anger right now. I'm tired of yhe mood swings and all the pills I take morning and night and I still don't have relief. I know I need to work on coping skills but right now I don't give a ****

Thinking I have a nasty cold now. Seeing the dr in 3 1/2 hours. In bed until then. My son drank the rest of my milk too. Meh

I caught going hypomanic last night: I did not feel like eating ("a waste of time!") even though I felt hunger in my tummy because I wanted to plan my first work of fiction. But I was able to fall asleep and am about to have a late breakfast. Still did not feel like "bothering" with eating at the normal time for breakfast this morning, but I think I am returning to the baseline.

[Unrigged64072835]

Did my grocery shopping for the next week. Didn't have much to pick up so that's good.

Also did 3 loads of laundry.

Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday. We're going out of town to an aquarium. And lots of eating. Ugh. But still fun.

[Faltering]

I went to the pdoc today and he said my blood test shows my Tegretol level is toxic, which is why I've been stumbling and shaking. He decreased the dosage. He also told me to start taking Vitamin D since my level is low. I'm going to be starting Geodon since I'm still having a lot of paranoia.

Skype doctor appointment today. She was mad I went off the haldol injection, said she didn't want to stop the injection, but that she couldn't do anything about it since I'm not on commitment anymore. She said she's worried I'm going to stop taking the oral and have to put me on commitmentment again. So she ended up taking me off of trileptal, increased my haldol, and prescribed me cogentin. I hope I start feeling better!

Finally down 8 pounds this morning!

[gina_re]

I don't think I can make it until Tuesday. I called the pdoc office and hopefully I get a call back soon.

doing okay, despite not knowing what day it is, what time it is, or what I did the night before

omg flashbacks

that is all

I also got back my dvd set of the united states of tara which I leant to someone because they wanted to watch it.

(well, I have 2 out the 3 back, hope to get the third back tomorrow)

[hopeless2015]

Using the 15 minute rule today, just get through 15 minutes then work on the next 15 minutes and continue, I'm leaning on my support team really heavily right now. I hope I don't drive them crazy.

[Pikku Myy]

Been feeling sad and depressed lately. Nothing new to report.

[Nammu]

All this mess with my sleeping meds, losing sec 8 and moving home is really messing me up. I feel like crying all the time and my temper is hanging by a thread. My thoughts often turn to I shouldn't be here, I'm just a leach on society, it be better for everyone if I was gone.....the GOP would celebrate.

[pirilin]

Not a care in the world. That's bad too.

Hi guys

[Unrigged64072835]

My daughter had a great birthday today. We took her to an indoor aquarium and she just loved it. She got some cool gifts. She's really happy.

I am exhausted from all the walking. And my back hurts a bit. Hopefully the traction tomorrow won't make it worse.

[gina_re]

Pdoc called me back, she wants to increase meds. I'm just hesitant to do so. Finally came to the conclusion that this is not a med issue, I need to be back in therapy and to get out of my own head. So I'll continue to wait until Tuesday and will just have to suck it up and get through the workdays.

Mild hypomania seems to have ended. Mild visual hallucinations have also passed. Slept nine hours and feel a bit flat this morning. Yesterday I had a good rest day after a few weeks of being very busy. It was raining and lovely to just sit inside my cozy flat, read, pay guitar, listen to music then shop and cook dinner. Can rest a little this morning but work in the afternoon. Hoping my mood lifts a little and isn't heading down as I have another busy week ahead of me.

[bizi]

Wander, you sound healthy to me.

Glad it's Friday...my husband made plans with some friends to meet for dinner, should be a nice evening and a good distraction for me and I'm really hungry to.
