What kind of human being says something like that? That shocks and disgusts me. Just because someone says something, doesn't mean you deserve it. I understand childhood trauma and PTSD. Its not your fault and it doesn't mean you aren't worthy of kindness.

Presently I'm surviving on mass doses of caffeine and keeping very physically busy. When I sit still more than a minute I start snowballing downhill again. Eventually this mood elevation from caffeine will end but not as long as I keep it going. I bought 24 energy shots and three energy drinks. I have half a mio energy squirt, at least 20 Earl Grey bags, and my ace in the hole, half a container of yerba mate instant tea which I just toss and wash. Yerba tastes a lot like tobacco when it's in pure form but it's very effective. I have my 5-htp, kava extract, kava whole root, and kratom. There's millions of things to do in prep, so I'm completely overwhelmed to the point of not being able to slow down. Now I'm done on the potty and can get back to it.

Kratom is for primarily physical pain, but also depression, mild stimulant and PTSD. Yerba is for reduced caffeine energy and depression. It's almost an MAOI, but only almost. 5-HTP is temporary mood boost, but a calm one. You know what all the rest is for. If this is what it takes to push my way through, I'll do it. I honestly need an antidepressant right now, but nobody will give me one. So, I'm getting my own from nature. I go almost hyper-robotic on this cocktail. Nothing phases me much and I need that right now. My BP is actually very low at the moment. It's 87/63 after resting for 2 minutes. Pulse is high, caffeine-induced somewhat, at 115. My usual resting is around or even just below 60. Low BP can cause the body to raise heart rate to try to push more of what's normally carried by the blood to its destination. Normally my BP is roughly 115/78. |

Temporarily it will. I have to make it through Christmas. That's all I'm asking if myself. Once that's over I will crash. I'm bracing for it. It won't be pretty. I've done this before, and gotten a solid month out of it before I crashed without stopping this intake. Certainly I can get a few days.

Update. Caffeine burnout already. Fell asleep sitting up and nearly off the toilet before I woke up. Going to get a good night's sleep. Found out FS gym is open tomorrow 10-1. Going, grinding it out, while parents are in church. Gym is my equivalent of a church anyway. I hope my new friend is there, I have questions. Then going to help at my parents' with most of the prep work. Of course I'll take and be given none of the credit. But I'll know what I've done anyway.
Watching "Jesus Henry Christ" tonight. Supposed to think about Jesus right now, aren't we? At least "Jesus H. Christ" is mentioned in the film a few times. |

I remember after being diagnosed my moods were all over the map. I went through a period when I cried a lot. I had a new med added then I started using coping skills. If I stay busy I can keep the bad thoughts at bay most of the time. Losing someone is always hard. I hope things get better.

Not crying at all today but very aggressively doing things. Reduced caffeine intake to one coffee this morning at 11 and an energy shot when I first woke up at 7. That seems like a lot but these shots have only 75 mg of caffeine and the coffee was half decaf. I did make it into the gym for around 50 minutes at full steam. The cold in the air makes me hurt terribly.
I'm angry at all those I saw dressed up in their cars driving past the poor soul that was walking home 20 miles in a hoodie, t-shirt and jeans after having worked 14 hours. Nobody gave him a ride. He must have walked past where I was in the gym or I'd have turned around and taken him when I saw him. I can only think "these are self-labeled Christians heading to worship their Samaritan saviour while passing by someone that very well could die trying to get home. What exactly do these people believe in?" SI thoughts are very often today but the aggro helps push them out. Playing "night speaks to a woman" from the album "plasma" by Trey Anastasio over and over because it does mellow me, all 22 minutes of it. 5 more hours until "a Christmas story" comes on. Holding in there best I got. I did delve back into some of the Buddhist texts today to remind what I should do. That helps because it reminds me I'm not doing things right and there are better ways even though I'm having trouble with getting past my own pain. I also tried to meditate but failed because of the "Christians." |
