I am feeling stable at the moment but a little on the depressed side.

Shouldn't have woken up but just my luck I did. Can't get these people to leave my house. Nobody hears me or what they hear they don't understand. Enough is enough. Nobody deserves this kind of torture.

Finally on meds. Cannot wait till they kick in. New combo too so hopefully works. I do not want to lose all I have. I am married, sober, have an awesome baby and a good job. I will not let the mania or depression pull me down.

I've been taking my med faithfully and it's still helping. As my mood becomes more stable, I'm starting to see how bad my anxiety is. I've also started falling back into my eating disorder. I think I might benefit from counseling again.

Mania's really busting its chops to break the remaining seals that restrain it; I can so feel the desire to not go, or to say I don't have any issues Monday. I'm clear enough now in my head to see them and see what its done, but I can also feel the pleasure.

I feel like Galadriel being offered the One Ring. I can take it and challenge the world, or I can see the doc, do what she says, and remain myself.

My ex is going to be an hour late picking up our youngest. I was supposed to meet a friend, but now I'm not sure we'll have time.

Don't know how much longer I can take this lack of decent deep sleep. Went to bed at 2am took me two hours to fall asleep woke up at 5am, 6:15 am 7:15 am, 8:30am, 10:20 am, 11:30 am.....no dreams ( I miss my kooky dreams) this is affecting my physical health as well. Damn doctor cutting my sleep med in half and then not refilling it at all. He's getting an ear full on Monday

Had to use the heating pad on my back again. I see my doc and PT on Tuesday. Hope I make it until then.

Other than that, not much. Writing poetry, surfing the Web, and napping.

Oh that's awful. Lack of sleep really effects me too. I'm on 3 meds for sleep. I hope you get a refill soon.

I'm doing ok. Started dating a new guy but it's ended. He bragged ALL THE TIME!!! I couldn't take it. I feel a relief. He didn't make me feel good either. He had told me that he wanted me to help him with his bragging, well Thursday he started it again. I said you know they say ppl that brag all the time usually have deep, deep insecurities, lol. It made him mad and he said I brag too much for you bye. He doesn't want to change. If he calls I'm gonna tell him he must work on the bragging. But honestly, I don't think I really like him.

In other news my son hasn't smoked pot in about 3 days. I think he was getting symptoms. I hope he stays off it.

I have to go get meds at the pharmacy....Ugh...

Seriously???? !!

I've had two strong courses of that cr** in my life, it worked and was needed, but it was weird as heck, bunch of auditory hallucinations, etc. I thought that was just a side effect of prednisone that all random folks just deal with and just shrugged it off.

Had an intake today. She assessed the BP to be BP I (I think previous providers had already bumped it, though she didn't know any of my dx's going in.). And a shiny new dx of PTSD (oh, fabulous I'd wondered from time to time, so not totally out of left field, but didn't see that coming.

We didn't get into the anxiety issues, but I don't anticipate any changes there.

I'd put this (getting set up with covered provider) off for a couple of years. I'm not a big fan of change. But so far, so good! They seemed nice, there are plenty of services and I will finally get to see someone on a regular basis again (I had ceased to able to afford to see the other nearly often enough. Even with considerable sliding scale.)

Still hypomanic, though maybe mellowed a notch (from the Abilify maybe??)

Mania is prominently listed as a Prednisone side effect all over the web, and I just rocketed out of a particularly abrupt and profound trapdoor depression after only five days of 20 mg per day. All projects have resumed, all systems are go.

I used to take 2 Benadryl, 10mg melatonin and 2 ambien and sleep. Then the new doc cut the ambien in half and I slept from midnight to five. But he's not refilled the script in two weeks. I still take the Benadryl and melatonin but my body just laughs. I've had trouble sleeping my whole life except for a few years when I was a teenager. I've taken as much as 5 Benadryl but not sure how much more than that I can take safely. Not sure about the melatonin either.

Made it through a vey busy, stressful week with some great times socialising. Just finished work and plan to chill tonight with a few beers, the net, guitar and TV. Tomorrow is a little busy with errands and food shopping, plus catching up with my Mum but I should have some decent downtime. Still rattled from what my cousin said about our past trauma and trying so hard to not let it drag me down again. Tuesday I can rest mostly then back to busy after that. I am amazingly stable still, albeit a little anxious, but sleeping well and mood good. Think the hypo has passed due to the addition of Abilify. Just hoping to keep it this way as I sometimes feel on the edge of snapping mentally.

Ugh... I'm traveling back to the U.S. today, and apparently protesters are blocking passengers from getting their bags and exiting the airport. I might not be able to get my bags if the useless cops don't do anything about it. (So far, they've done jackshit.)

Stupid Trump, stupid protesters. Both are as bad as each other. i mean, I get their point, but that doesn't mean I deserve to get stuck in the airport!
