I'm home. I used to be in such good shape. Omg. I'm terribly out of shape. I need to work out more so it gets easier I guess. I was totally wiped earlier.

Still getting up readily (so weird, lol!) and getting things done, but not feeling as manic-y about it. Yesterday hit a patch of bad agitation. Keeping an eye on things. I don't know whether it's a blip, if the "up" is turning on me or if it's beginning a crash. Also wondering if the Abilify might be involved. Is it pulling me back into orbit? Evening me out? I've considered things to be going well and this is time I've been on it, though it is a low dose. Have an appointment with the prescriber next week.
Hopefully the agitation was just a blip. Because damn, I want to be doing well. It's been so nice being motivated and getting things done. (And when I can stay above being dragged down by a very frustrating life circumstance, it's golden.) Guess we'll see. Hope level is decent. I was really struck when having that spell how quickly (and gladly!) we forget when things are going well and "can't see" why we can't just keep that going because it comes so easily at the time. How we can know the bad stuff intellectually, but not FEELING it at the time, it has a sense of unreality. It "can't" really happen. Can it? Yeah, rhetorical question. |

Had a pretty good day. Went to church for the first time in about a year. Hope to meet up with my neighbor for lunch soon.
Took a long nap. Ended up buying a rotisserie chicken for dinner. That went well. Had a little bit of anxiety because I slept through taking my afternoon meds. Oh well. |

My temp is 99.7. it's usually 96 or 97 something. It should be low as I just had my period. Maybe this is why I'm cold?

I have never told my P.doc that I hear voices.
I might tell I'm next time I go... but probably not I don't want to share that with anyone

Your Pdoc is the one person you should share that with. Are you afraid?

On Optimism Online, they have a 0-10 scale between depressed and elevated where 5 would be baseline. So I am going between 6 (enthusiastic!) and 4 (a little sad, but no big deal) today. Listening to the music from Woody Allen's movies.
When I feel a little sad, I make tea. So, I will make tea now.

When I was first titrating down on zyprexa I had anxiety and guilty feelings. Maybe your issue is the "cold turkey"?

Yes indeed. I am on mixed episode too though I don't know whether it is relevant or not.

Getting a new boss! Yeah!
My asshole boss can KISS, MY, A.SS He always tells me what I am and am not capable of doing without actually giving me the chance to prove myself. What a f***ing douchebag I'm happy to be freed from his torture chamber |

Good news about your new boss, Blue.
Skipped T today and tried taking a nap instead. Went to pdoc. She's trying something different for possible tardive dyskinesia. She's doing a high level of Vitamin E before she tweaks the Artane. Took a walk at a local park. It's too freaking nice for winter. |

Hiked in the forest to a waterfall and stood under it. I live in the Blue ridge mountains and it was beautiful here today. I had bad anxiety at the beginning of the hike but the woods seemed to absorb the kinetic energy. I feel amazing.

Had 2 or 3 up days and now back down in the dumps. I feel sorry for my husband, but he has been really positive and encouraging lately and that means so much to me. I'm very lucky. Trying to get out of my own head and be thankful for what I have.

Bipolar operative Lefty the Salesman checking in from Mid-Pacific numbers station 96816, running isolation drills, bagged vapor and a benzodiazepine smoothie. It doesn't any make sense to me either.

Been feeling really good last few days except agitated and irritable. Kind of hit me on Sunday. Might be hypomanic. Saw pdoc today and he thinks I'm hypo but in a reaction to trauma as I had a trigger 12 days ago, was very upset, anxious and full of rage. I did lots of self care, calmed down then shot up. Seeing my pdoc was helpful but annoying as he still brought up religion even though that's the reason he can't treat me anymore ( he finds my spiritual beliefs too conflicting with his so he cut me off). Still, he was very caring and continues to treat my symptoms.
Seeing a new pdoc in two weeks and hopefully he will be a good match. I just can't stay with my current doc, he triggers me and doesn't get me or even my diagnosis. Happy and hopeful for great things ahead.

ONE man against the world. ONE world against the man. ( I find it deep.)
