Positive Things I've done today #5

I'm leaning on my support team right now, I hope I don't drive them crazy, but I really need their help right now. I just wish I wasn't so weak

Got my blood drawn to test for vitamin b12 and vitamin d deficiency along with lithium levels. Been awake longer than normal and not yet tired. Latuda is kicking in more and starting to maybe work. Just need to sleep a solid around 8 hours and not less.

If you are strong enough to understand that you need your support team, then you are pretty strong. Only a strong person knows when to ask for help

Went to PT and Dermatology appointments
Wrote a poem
Made dinner

Made lunch for my family
Cleaned the kitchen

bizi

- skipped coffee and had tea instead;
- cleaned the kitchen (I was in an episode and a pile of dishes grew, and the stove became dirty, and the sink was a horror to look at, but now everything is shining)
- saw Dr (psychiatry+therapy in one)
- a short walk, plus synced and recharged the FitBit (lots of walking on the weekend despite being in a mood episode - good job)
- caught myself being hypomanic in thought when I wanted to buy a computer for home use (Dr did not catch it! I did!) - instead I will get paniers for my bike and transport the work computer home on my bike
- realized that I continued into hypomania with hyper sexual ideation and got a foot massage, which calmed me down a bit
- about to have dinner, take meds, drink fruit tea, and go to sleep on time

I made it to 10900 steps today. Previous record was 6000. I also didn't eat any carbs.

Got out of bed at a decent time (10.45am... Still working on it) , went to my psychiatrist appointment, picked up my meds, attempting to create an excercise plan for myself I've really been packing on the KGs in the last few months

Went grocery shopping
Wrote two poems
Put dishes away
Making dinner in an hour or so

Got up showered, went to work, picked up prescriptions,put gas in the car

Did not succumb to Papa John's double pepperoni for dinner tonight, when I really really really wanted it and not the salad that I did have

Got up, got to work, going to have lunch in a few minutes. Those are positives for me.

Went to the gym and continued to eat low carb

Got up showered, came to work. Concentration seems good today. Just making tuna salad for supper tonight and plan to do a load of laundry

Took a shower. That's about it.

Got up, showered, came to work, signed up at planet fitness on my lunch hour

Did four loads of laundry
Wrote two poems
Made dinner
Going to take a shower in a little bit

I got up early, took a shower, did a load of laundry, stuck to my diet and mopped the floor -- a chore which has been vexing me for a while. So nice to have it clean!

I did the dishes. Had a visit with my FWB. Long time no see in that department. Was nice. I am now waiting for my other friend to show up at Starbucks. I won't stay long because I have to be up early for church. But! I got a cool new CD in the mail from Germany through Amazon. Been listening ever since I got the mail.

I went swimming, even though I was writing/a bit hypomanic and could have continued writing all day long, but I made myself go and was glad I did.

I also unloaded the DW, cooked lunch, walked to the ATM to deposit a check, made a payment to my CITI card, and saw my psychiatrist.
