I had been feeling well. Stable.
Then added a weekly injection to treat autoimmune condition and am feeling very depressed on it. Will see pdoc today.

I hope everyone has a fun weekend!

Bought a punch ball. I didn't realise it's also good to practise fast and precise reflexes.

I don't know whether it really reduces frustration, but it's a great way to exercise.

The pdoc was nice. Asked if I would participate in a bipolar study. They are almost to trail for a blood test for bipolar. Imagine if they had that. Those of us that that went years as depressed and on the wrong meds would be diagnosed so much sooner.

They give a small amount of money for time, transportation and parking.

I feel as though sometimes I just need someone to tell certain things to and to just listen without the judgment. Like I feel a certain type of way sometimes, but I feel like I would come off as being dramatic to some people. Therefore I don't tell anyone anything, which isn't healthy.
It's the last day of the first week back. My job duties have changed to what I wanted, but I'm still having difficulty working. I know what I need to do and how to do it, but I just can't get it done. My mind wonders, and I end up with a headache by the end of the day from the attempt to concentrate so much. I even have my beloved energy drinks that used to work so well to help, but alas, they do nothing. I kind of felt the overmedicated feeling before going back, but I brushed it off as lack of sleep and/or adjusting to the medication. But now I feel like my head is somewhat in a fog as I try and work. I'm so exhausted from all of this. This going back and forth with my pdoc about this symptom or that symptom. Then it disrupts my productivity, and spirals out of control. Am I even meant to be working? Every job I had prior to this didn't take much skill and anybody could be taught how to do it. But I got tired of that and worked my butt off to graduate college. Now I have a job that challenges me and uses that degree and I start to fall apart. What is the point of this?

My mood changes within hours. I wonder if one day the speed would beat the speed of light. I'm exhausted of being exhausted.

Saw pdoc today. Was feeling ok earlier, but I'm kind of down now. He said I hide. Which is very true. Wish I didn't have to. But I do. I have my reasons.

Home today, just now got out of bed and showered and it's almost 3:30, I've had a good run of feeling ok....today was just not one of those days. I went off my Latuda because of constant problems with the pharmacy and just got fed up and felt like it never did any good anyway.. maybe I was wrong idk

Went to physical therapy this afternoon. I meet with the therapist on Monday. Will be interesting to see if anything changed physically. I feel better and my back didn't hurt when I vacuumed last week so will see.

I have a new camera and I'm reading a book on how to use it. This is going to last me a while so I need to learn.

I'm still stable and hoping to keep that way.

Hanging out with friend at Panera with my youngest. I figured out my Medicaid problem so yay! I get to sleep in tomorrow. I started a new diet recently. We'll see how it goes!

What do they test for?

They've been taking blood from bipolar people for a while trying to identify what bipolar people have in common. I don't know the specifics yet, I'll find out when I talk to the people from the study. But apparently they've tentatively identified markers that can identify bipolar illness. One step closer to prove ing that bipolar is not a weak mind but an identifiable physical illness.

I hope it is that easy. Maybe if enough participate some subgroups can be identified at least. Who is they? It sounds interesting. It's interesting to hear/read the results. Do they account for possible different results when manic, euthymic or depressed and BP1 and 2 and incongruent psychosis, "psychotic features"; is it longitudinal, doing tests over a longer period?

Today is a good day so far. Woke up and had morning sex, that always does wonders for mood. Taking my daughter to her basketball practice in a little bit. Had coffee, and I'm ready to go.

I think my medication might be helping after the increase in the dosage, but I'm not sure. I've been so busy at work that I haven't had much time to think about how my mental health is going. I've also had terrible menstrual migraines that have kept me in bed. It seems like I'm able to discount paranoid or illogical thoughts more often lately.

Picked the meat off of the chicken we had last night. Got two cups of meat. We use a lot of cooked chicken and it's less expensive than buying the can.

Tried out my camera. Need to make a few adjustments.

Other than that not much.
