I woke up way too early this morning with the stomach flu...yuck! But mood is fine, maybe a bit elevated from lack of sleep but not too bad.

Uh oh. I hate the stomach flu! Hopefully it passes soon. I know that those sorts of things can affect mood.

Had a therapist appt @ 9am today. She says my speech is pressured and that I should talk with my pdoc about me choosing to go off my antipsychotic without his knowledge. No way!

Idk. She said I spoke too fast and that everything I said was difficult to follow because "nothing connected". Whatever that means.

I need to pick up my "physical health" meds, though. Haven't done that in a while. Lol. 0 pills left after last night. I should probably do something about that...

Going up now, today on my walk I couldn't walk normal it was a definite dance walk mixture and after a while I started singing too. A week ago i could walk and listen, then walk and lip sync and now dance walk and singing wearing my high side ponytail and my "uniform" as husband would call it(I wore it for a couple months straight earlier this year literally only taking it off for washing and sleeping lol) I switched to a softer song to see if I could make it stop but it didnt work at least my singing was toned down a bit hahaha

Better get help after the weekend because if I switch to mixed again I'll be back ip which I really dont want!

OH darn, I might have gotten myself into trouble again today. I just can't seem to keep my mouth shut sometimes, when I really should!

'Tis the season for seasonal allergies...
Every autumn I get so sick that I can hardly walk, all because of my stupid allergies. Feeling sick makes me depressed, and when I'm depressed I can't function in any other way either. Fun!
I've been hypo for a while now, but it hasn't been a very good hypo. Ugh, I just want to feel fine...

[liveforsummer]

Ouch! Slammed into that friggin' brick wall again Mood is definitely irritated and I just want to slam cupboards and scream for no reason.
Well I enjoyed the 2 1/2 days of happy. I shall continue to fake it for those around me as I feel completely awful for them to be with crabby me again. My bed is calling my name but I shall resist, grab my car keys and go buy something sugary to eat.......wallow I must, but ever hopeful I will wake up tomorrow morning feeling cheery as I did this morning on my 8am walk

I'm freaking out about an upcoming therapist appointment on Tuesday. I hate change, but I know I need it and I like my new therapist.

[winter loneliness]

I have seasonal allergies too and the meds make me manic.

Felt terrible from a migraine all night and day. Talked myself into having been bitten by a spider. My leg hurt and everything. Woke up still had a headache and nausea. Went to Friday lunch anyway. Didn't eat much. Felt guilty about that as my friend bought. He even mentioned it so I got a doggie bag. Got home and took a 2 hour nap. Now what?

It's a beautiful day out!

I am in a major auto-immune flare. Very painful. Assessed today by specialist. Doing a re-trial of low-dose chemo injections, starting tonight.

Reading here a bit. May be slow to respond.

Love to All!

WC... Sorry you are feeling so bad. Being in pain is horrible. Hope it lessens soon. My thought are with you.

I'm so sorry WC. I really hope the low dose chemo injections are helpful in reducing your symptoms.....I hope this flair goes away fast.

It's always freak out time.

[scatterbrained04]

So yeah that extra gabapentin had me asleep early yesterday before I took my bedtime meds. Then I woke up (fortunately!) at 10:30p and got my son to bed, who was playing video games still and should have been in bed at 9! Took meds then went back to bed. Geesh. I'll give this a few more days before I get pissed and take all the gaba together at bed. Anxiety was a bit better today though!

[winter loneliness]

Extremely agitated.

WC....I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I hope the chemo helps. Thinking of you.

I am very agitated with allot of fear. I am constantly refreshing the topics so I can keep my mind off of what I fear, My daughter is playing the same games with her mother as she did me. Right now she told her mother she is at the library studying. This is code for that she took off with her freinds. This eventually lead to her running away when she was with me. I hope this does not happen again, this tine with her mother. The library will close in an hour. So we shall see what happens next.

Not so well. I started writing about it, but... I dunno. So many things. I had come up with a little "wellness routine". It's getting hard to manage it even though it's not much. Really, really tired.

[jmariah001]

I finally saw my pdoc on Wednesday. She said I was hypomanic because of the anger I have been dealing with lately. This was probably triggered because of the breakdown of the car. Even though the car is now fixed I am still feeling anger. I have been yelling at my husband a lot. So the pdoc put me on a new mood stabilizer to help with the anger. It's called Rexulti. We'll see if it does any good. I should probably make an appointment to see my counselor. One good thing is I have a wedding to go to later today. I should probably go to bed soon. Have to get up at 7:45 am to get ready to leave. It's gonna be a long day.

[liveforsummer]

It a brand new day full of hope and potential. That sounds like a sappy card lol. Either way it's nice again out. Gonna attempt another morning walk then venturing out of town to visit a friend. If I can keep positive thoughts and keep busy I think I'll be able to keep the negative on the sidelines.

I am happy because I received a interview request to work as an instructor for a big company with a big name. I am tired though since I have been working daily. I turned down one job today because I felt that I could not fulfill their needs. But, I am happy about the interview request for the big company. I don't know if I will pass the interview and get the job though. Getting and passing an interview are two different issues. I am hoping for the best. I was feeling burnt out too for awhile. Working for peanut pay is hard. hahahhaa But, it pays the bills. The big company job is part-time but pays well. I will make enough to get by. I was really surprised that I passed their screening for an interview because more than 100 people applied for the position. It must be my lucky day!! I will do my best. I like working but at times need to rest. For me, commuting to and from work is harder than the job itself. I don't know but taking the train while it is crowded is not fun. I hope to commute less in the future but for now am happy I have work to do. I will sleep now and dream.

Whether or not it "sounds sappy," it's true.
There's new potential in every moment. Our moment-to-moment choices/decisions are important!

I hope you have a lot of fun today!

my morning was really bad.

drowning in.. what could only be described as quicksand (or at least that's how it felt, I felt so bad)

called the samaratans begging for medication (but I know they can't give me any, and I need to wait until Monday)

shook a lot

i'm a lot calmer this afternoon though, a nice calm.

even had a little giggle about something getting lost in the post
