Need to call about that.

Currently in ER with BF (for him, herniated disc). So, so tired.

Hello again, everyone...

Hello again! Great to hear from you. I hope you have a safe landing from the hypomania and I hope your BF and dizziness get better.

I, at least, vacuumed and cleaned the toilet. I also went shopping. Now, I'm washing my clothes. The coffee worked well. I will go to bed after the laundry is done.

playing Christmas music.

I can't help it. I am still so happy that summer is finally over

do they know it's Christmas in September?

why not..

[Woolly Bugger]

Summer is not over! We have three weeks left...

I am in a quandary because there have been 3 apartments in my building where bed bugs have been found. They treated those 3 apartments, thankfully mine was not one of them. However, bed bugs have been found in the laundry machines in our laundry room! They have been dead ones, thankfully. I got some info from the Health Department on this and they said to wash all cloths with hot water and dry them on the highest heat setting and that would kill any bed bugs in the laundry machines. I can do that, but I am nervous still! Last week I went to the local laundromat and did my cloths there. I found a dead bed bug there in one of the machines. SIGH.... Today is laundry day. I have to decide what to do. I'm not sure what to do!!! This is so upsetting.

Day 3. Going to head out the door in about 30 min (just digesting my oatmeal) and attempt another walk/run hopefully increasing the running portion.
Golfing with family this afternoon. So should be a well occupied happy day

Happy Saturday everyone!

I was the one running with my music playing and singing along and trying very hard to restrain myself from spreading my arms out like I was flying! I just know it woulda felt so good to pretend to fly like that lol!

[scatterbrained04]

It's been raining all day. So naturally, I feel tired and blah with a slight headache. Haven't done a darn thing today.

[Tucson]

I thought I would not make it financially month to month. However, a good freind who is seen as a brother to me is giving me some money every month. Yay! Now I can eat more than just eggs, lettuce, soup, and peanut butter sandwiches. I will still keep the grocery expense small so I can use the rest of the money to bank it for I have no money in the bank. Life is a little better now.

[Moose72]

Gave my 17 yo the letters her dad and I wrote to each other when we first dated. She enjoyed it! I had a trip down memory lane (she read them out loud). She also got all of our wedding pictures. Ha!

[wildflowerchild25]

I was FREAKING OUT looking for my depakote all over the house. I checked everywhere. Turns out it was in my nightstand the whole time. I must have miscounted the prescription bottles. Life was easier with the injection and a patch.

In any case my nurse's secretary called in the depakote wrong as well. She just refilled the same amount even though I'm taking more now. So I will run out before the end of the month. I'll have to call my nurse and leave a message about it. Always some sort of complication.

My son told us he's suicidal but doesn't have a plan. He's willing to try meds again but the "new" pdoc is one that took him off all of his meds when we moved down here at the other clinic. Accorded to that pdoc the meds were too strong but it's made the last 3 yrs hell for my son. My son doesn't even have a T at this clinic anymore. I don't feel I need a T anymore. We have to decide what to do now. My husband doesn't want that pdoc to be in charge of our son's medication. My son currently doesn't even have a diagnosis. I have no idea what to do.

[xRavenx]

I have a trip planned and took time off for it, but it turns out, it might rain the majority of the time and get cold.....so we might not even be able to go anymore. It took a lot of effort to take the time off. Things happen, but things just aren't going my way lately. It was my thought that a trip might do me some good to get out of the area. It's hard to catch a break for some reason.

Car is still down. Haven't heard back from the mechanic yet. He was suppose to call us back on friday but didn't. I hate not having a car. I feel trapped. Good thing I don't have any appointments until the 11th. Hopefully the car will be fixed by then. Just trying to stay sane. Listening to music helps me with this. Currently listening to Bleed it out by Linkin Park. Still feel a little sad about Chester Bennington. He was a good singer.

hope you get the car fixed.

Chester Bennington is more than a good singer... my brother went to see the band live, and during 1 of the songs, chester through lots of beer through the audience.

that guy knew how to put on a show, too.

I really hope, in time, the band will find a new lead singer

this does not have to be the end of them

Spending my morning thinking about my smoking triggers. I really want to quit.

[wildflowerchild25]

I fell asleep early and slept really hard. I had a horrible dream that I had a mental breakdown at work. I flipped a desk and threw a pitcher of water. Then I ran out of the building into this big storage shed and stayed there and fell asleep. When I came back the other teachers were talking about calling the police and committing me. Then my mom found out and screamed at me for "doing this again". It was so real. I was scared when I woke up that I had actually done it.

I hate dreams like that. I get them when I'm stressed out. I guess I'm stressed.

abilify is not working for me.
am already gaining weight.
A friend of mine said I should try lithium.
my aunt took this and has tremors so bad and it killed her thyroid.

Having said this all AP run this risk.
My therapist doesn't think I am hypomanic. She thinks this is me not dealing with my addictions.
she could be right.

which came first? the hypomania or the addictions?

I'm sorry Abilify isn't working for you. It's been a big help to me and I've continued to lose weight (although that is probably my gastric issues) but I've been through so many medications that did nothing. It's frustrating. I hope you find something that works well for you. Sending big hugs.

[liveforsummer]

Achy all over from 3 days in a row on walks/runs and golfing. At the most I may walk later if the sun comes out. Dull out right now and feel quite unmotivated. Trying to clean the bathrooms while watching the US open.

[xRavenx]

I found out I might be able to go on my trip for one or two nights, so I am thankful for that. I was especially emotional last night, but Seroquel with Klonopin that I took at night somewhat helped.

[Wander]

Had a major meltdown last night and ended up swearing at a nurse. She got angry with me and called me out. I deserved it but was in a highly agitated state. I think a mixed state which started Saturday. The new antidepressant Zoloft is probably the culprit. It did increase my mood but made me very emotional and still depressed while happy at the same time.

Now I feel ashamed of myself and scared to talk to nurses. Didn't sleep well. It is 6 am here and I've been awake awhile. Have a big day of study and TMS. Feel like hiding all day but must get into it or I will go mad isolating myself and accomplishing nothing. Seeing my pdoc today. Guessing he will stop the Zoloft and I will be left depressed again waiting for the TMS to work. This morning I want to die but I am going to try to push through and have an ok day.

More of the same here. Sigh
