Not sure what's going on with me today. Feel like I'm in a bit of a downward spiral.

I can't figure this out. How do I do the trigger thing so when u read my entry my writing that's a possible trigger is hidden and you have to click on it to access it?
Man I'm a tech dummy. Or maybe it's the piña colada.

I'm so glad I got maxalt for my migraines. Let's hope I don't get another one for a while though. I'm in bed reading about Moreschi. (More-es-key)

Put brackets around the word TRIGGER like these [] Then do the same after your text but ad a / before "TRIGGER". Let me know if you need more help.

I saw my pdoc yesterday. Although I am struggling with some anxiety and impulsive outbursts, I talked to her about lowering the Seroquel due to how I don't like the "heavy" feeling it gives me. She lowered it a little, so I look at that as a good thing. Maybe that will actually help my mood. She's just recognizing I'm going through some changes, so I'll try to work through it without upping anything else. I see her in 1 month, unless something urgent comes up.

Going home tomorrow. I am very grateful that I get to take this trip each year. Having said that...I have a sunburn, a headache and I'm ready to go home. Emotionally doing pretty good. We'll see when I get home.

Hope everyone is doing ok and giving hugs to all those that are struggling.

Well yesterday was a fairly decent day, but I was pretty irritable by the time I got home from work. Got stuck in massive traffic and was super hungry coming home though. l just ate and went and laid in bed and watched Netflix. Untold Stories of the ER.

Have a busy weekend ahead with family plans both days. And chores. And grocery shopping.

Sorry all, thanks for your patience.

Can someone just let me know if it worked because from my view it didnt

I always put trigger in all caps but it probably would work in lower case too. The one thing you missed is that the "/" needs to go before the second "trigger". The idea behind it is the first one turns the command on and the slash turns the command off.

We're going to see my sis-in-law in San Jose (CA) today. I so desperately don't want to go, but it's her birthday. Otherwise I feel fine. Yay.

[liveforsummer]

Took everything in me but I did it, I hauled my sorry ***** outa bed at 10:30 and went to the driving range to hit some golf balls (I'm terrible but it's a distraction) then the garden centre to get a potted pant to stick in one spot on my front garden nothing grows. Despise gardening so that was huge accomplishment lol!

[scatterbrained04]

Feeling very depressed and sui and don't want to get out of bed or continue psychiatric treatment because it doesn't help anyway. Rant over.

Another slow day. Still anxious and restless, but it should end here soon. The sadness has lifted and now I'm just meh. At least I took a shower today, but now I have a rash on my forehead. I see the dermatologist on the 28th, and that's the soonest I could get in.

Just passing time until I make dinner.

[Moose72]

I'm just back from FWB's. Not very fulfilling mentally or physically. Need a real boyfriend. Wasn't horrible or bad, just unfulfilling.

I'm sleepy and a bit hungry. Not dinner time. N2 is at her friend's graduation party having a great time. Maybe I'll take a nap. I went on a long walk with N3 today too.

[Moose72]

I'm tired yet too awake. Time for dinner I think.dunno when N2 wants picked up.

Rant: I'm not in a good spot. As soon as I think my mood is leveling out, it's becoming more and more volatile. People make me angry in my life for different reasons, and it's hard to hold back. I wish I was accepted for who I am though in my daily life, and that's something that's triggered me, since I do not feel that I am (I'm not referring to here though...thanks everyone). I don't want to pretend to be someone I'm not...and I feel judged and censored a lot lately. Everything seems to be so "top secret" in the family, so I'm done....sorry.

To our family in London
My heart breaks for your city. You've seen so much pain
I pray for your healing
I pray for your peace
Know that we are praying for you

[Standup2me]

I think that I've just begun to realize that I hide behind walls of emotion...or better said, lack of emotion. People say "you're so calm", but I am like a duck, smooth on the surface and paddling like heck below the surface.
If I don't share an emotion, I don't share me, and I don't give pieces of me away
I think that I need to work on this.

Today was a good day. I brought my youngest nephew down to the area last night and dropped him off at my mom's house. This afternoon I went over there and I dragged them with me to go shopping. No shopping spree, I just needed a few items. And my mom and I have a tendency to just stay home too much. With the little guy over, it was a perfect excuse to get out. He is so much fun (he's 13 months)! So I got some much needed exercise playing with him and vitamin D just by leaving my house for once. I bought myself a new lip gloss, something to make me feel pretty and lift my spirits a little. My look could use a change again.

My special pleasure is nail polish. Wearing nail polish always makes me feel so elegant

I'm working on my nails now. That is another thing of mine, I always have to have my nails done. I used to give myself a manicure every week, but lately it's every week and a half to two weeks.

I woke up pretty late today.That said I did manage to get some laundry and some baking done today.

A 2-liter flood dose of coffee, 2500 mg of Depakote and 100 mg of Lamictal today made recovery seem possible. I hope the feeling doesn't pass. I am in the worst physical shape of my life.

I noticed that our walls are bare, save for a tiny collection of framed nostalgia: a poster of an exhibit of Angkor sculpture that happened 20 years ago in Paris, posters and clippings of Creeper Lagoon, a photo from 1934 of my grandfather in a football uniform and a cover of a book of my mom's poems. That's it. The whole house. Admittedly weird. Furniture has also been disappearing. Objects become currency. My proxy at Christie's Manhattan once said: "They're just things." We came to this island in a shipping container and we will leave in a suitcase.



From the Paris exhibit: the Khmer king Jayavarman 7 (1181-1218). 11 years ago I saw his face on a poster at a Khmer-owned fish shop in central Connecticut and called out his name; the proprietors cheered and gave me my fish for free. Know your Khmer kings.

Everybody hang in there. Our disease gives us empathy, and those ignorant of our suffering will underestimate us.

[Moose72]

I have been happy and content the last long while but today something feels off. Today I feel guilty for some reason. I need a nap and I've been reading a book that I've had for years but never read! That should make me happy.

[hopeless2015]

It's been a good weekend, husband and I went in an all day motorcycle ride yesterday, beautiful day! We stopped at a small Italian restaurant for lunch, great food. Got groceries done and put away and trying to figure out lunch

[xRavenx]

So far, a little better than yesterday. A fight with a family member blew over, and hopefully it will stay like that for a while. We are having a crab cake dinner for my dad for Father's Day, so I'm looking forward to that. I just woke up at 12 PM today, so it was good to get some sleep. I'm a little drowsy from Klonopin from last night. Negative, ruminating thoughts are still flooding my mind, and some anger from different situation. Mostly anger towards myself, although a few others. I hope the negative thinking that cycles and cycles goes away soon so that I can feel better about myself.
