My father has an infected callus on his left foot. It hurts when he walks. So, we soaked it in hot water and the pus started to come out which is good. Then, I told him to expose the area to air to let it heal. He says it feels better. I was putting pain medicine on it but now he feels less pain. He was not going out because of this. He will go out tomorrow since I bought foot pads and pain medicine ointment. I am happy for him. He does not have diabetes. He walks a lot on his job. He wore uncomfortable ill-fitting shoes and developed a callus which he tried to remove on his own but then became infected. He came here limping and did not go out for a few days but is going to be ok. I am hoping the air will help it heal because I was wondering why he did not tell me he left on callus removal medicine with a patch on it daily for two weeks. No wonder he is in pain. I am relieved he feels better. I soaked it many times with hot water. The pus started draining.

I was feeling sick from eating too much grease but feel a little better by not eating fast food. I ate sushi and noodles today. I also ate steamed egg dish. I feel better.

I am doing ok although I am running around doing many things. I am taking my medication daily which helps.

I talk to the online man still. He is working hard. I am happy for him. He is doing well.

I feel fine and am happy my father is here. I am also happy he is doing better.

Between lice, stomach bugs and colds and mental health crisis for my oldest, I have been run ragged the last few days. Running around trying to take care of everyone. I need a nanny and a house keeper, lol.

The roller coaster ride seems to be slowing down. Range of stable to mild to med lows. Stuff still randomly pops in my head like yesterday going to the grocery store felt like the most enormous task and when I did it, listening to the Christmas songs in the store made me fight tears (no clue why) then that sense of worthlessness tries to suck me under. But on the positive side it’s not intense enough to linger to throw me back down the black hole. Bedtime is my biggest stressor. Sometimes I don’t even want to go to bed and wage the war against sleeplessness. (Sick of pills pills pills).
Enough of my crap!!

Hugs to everyone!!!!!

I had my pdoc visit today. I felt it was shorter than it should have been, so I don't really know how helpful it really was. It made me wonder if I did something wrong for her to not give me enough time? It felt like my needs were sort of dismissed, and I usually don't feel that way with her. I know I'm probably being a little paranoid though. She said since I am on the highest dose of Lamictal and on some other meds that are either high or if I go higher, they tend to cause a lot of side effects. She wants to see how I do if I change my sleep patterns and get back into a routine, but she also wants me to come back in about 2-3 weeks. If things continue to be as bad, we will have to change something or go up higher on one of my meds.

I'm feeling tired, but wired, and it's hard to control my emotions, especially anger. I just can't deal with some of the personalities around me lately. They seem to think they are so perfect and can be very insulting. I don't feel like talking to them anymore. I have work tomorrow and dread it, since my sleep patterns are still so off.

I saw my pdoc this evening at 4;45pm.
She was very nice and concerned,
she truly wanted to hear about my struggles, intimacy with jeff, showering, self image, loss of self/identity when I told her about my hip and arthritis and my weight....and social anxiety issues.
she spent over a half an hour with me.
She did not give me too much grief about the drinking like I thought she would so was grateful for that. She was surprised that naltrexone was not really helping. She really does not want to keep me on zyprexa because of weight gain. I want to stay on it to see if it helps with my mood, I don't think I am hypomanic now.
Tonight I Had good self control, did several hours of paper work that I had been avoiding.
I won't see her until the end of january.
She documented me mild depression. She said she was afraid to put me on an antidepresant, and I said no agreeing with her afraid of mania.
It was a really good visit.

Tomorrow I'm going to a focus group about health insurance, so I spent the last 45 mins making a collage about what health and wellness means to me. lol. They're paying $125 for being at the focus group + $20 for the collage + $25 if you show up 15 mins early. I wonder what kind of questions they're going to ask. I've been pretty happy with health insurance this year, next year is a who other ball of wax. I have to get new drs. ugh. Other than that, things are going well. My car is acting funky so haven't been going a lot of places. Hopefully my husband will hear if he got a new job soon, we need the money.

Happy birthday, Nammu!

I had cancelled today’s appointment with my T, but she wrote me back and convinced me to meet with her anyway. She wants to talk about why I canceled but I don’t know what I’ll tell her.

Also, my computer crashed, so I’m only able to access PC via my phone. I may end up with strange autocorrections.

Happy belated birthday, Nammu!

It seems I keep starting posts and not finishing them. Get too distracted, I guess.

Had T and pain management doc Monday. Didn't bring the right food for my blood sugar so had to cut T short. Tuesday was physical therapy and dentist. Those went okay. The large tree is up and decorated.

Did a Goodwill run this morning. Have books to take to the buy-back bookstore later this week. Have to work around how husband feels physically, plus he's studying for his programming final. We did get a few presents wrapped last night, but have to wait for money on Friday before we get the rest.

Husband and daughter are getting over their sinus infections, so that is good.

My mood has been wavy as of late. Viibryd is making me groggy and tired, but I still feel anxious to have all the holiday stuff done.

Hugs to all that want them.

Been in such a funk lately. Spending too much time in bed. Can't seem to shake it. My mind had been very busy though. Sometimes my mind gets so busy that I don't realize hours pass with me just staring into space.
