Thankfully, I’ve been pretty stable with my nightly dose of 100mg of Seroquel

I hope you are not coming down with the flu????

[bpforever1]

Bizi, thank you for the concern. Yes, I think I have the flu or something. Today, I rested a bit and am warm thanks to my floor heater. I am toasty now. I was using a electric stove heater but it started snowing and was not effective enough. I am happy now. I took my medication and am doing my laundry. I feel ok but am tired. At least, I am warm now, and this has helped me feel much better.

yesterday I started a new tv series, requiem

and mini victory..... I actually stuck with it and watched the entire episode (despite 10/ 15 minits of triggering stuff) and I even want to know what happens next week!.

today I am taking down some of my pictures off my walls, in preparation for when I leave here on the 26th.

feeling pretty good.. not yet decided if I'm going to listen to music yet, or put a movie on

[Unhinged88]

I had a very bad dream last night. Now I feel off today.

Also, how do i make those trigger warning hidden text boxes??

You can make a trigger box like this:

[trigger] text [/trigger]

Possible trigger:

text

[Unhinged88]

Possible trigger:

did it work?

Thanks!

The Benadryl worked for the dystonia.
I seem to have a paradoxical reaction to Benadryl if used for sleep, however. I keeps me awake.

Thanks for asking.

Did the wrong pre-test this morning instead of the one I studied for. Will correct that tomorrow.

Wrote a bunch of poems. A couple are for the website; the rest are for a book that I'm planning to self-publish on Amazon. There's a writer's workshop in April, so that may change.

Otherwise just doing small stuff. I'm still having problems doing things on autopilot. It feels like I have to stay mindful every second.

I talked to my pnurse earlier this week about getting a new T where she works. I like my current T, but I'm at an impasse in therapy and I need a different approach. My feelings are valid and that's good, but I guess I need someone to kick my butt in gear. I haven't heard from the center so I may have to search for one. My daughter now has one but she's not seeing him until the end of the month, from the same place.

Mood is okay. Trying to stay optimistic and hopeful.

i came into some money. No, I earned this money. Everyone seems eager to tell me what I should and shouldn't do with it. This is sounding like a bad record.

[xRavenx]

Although upping my medication has been helpful so far, I am frustrated beyond belief at this illness. I hate this hate this hate this. I am having one of those days (like why me?)when it comes to stupid Bipolar and all the trouble it has caused me. I just want to feel whatever normal is. Just had to rant. Sorry.

[LadyShadow]

Flying high, but I don't even think it is mania. I just took a shower and felt amazing after.

[Pheasant11]

Don’t paint your house when you’re in a depressed state.

[Cocosurviving]

I had a good day. I started off walking my dog and then I took a bath. I listened to a mental health podcast and soaked. I cooked breakfast then did a little cleaning. Today was my nephew’s birthday and he was having cake with ice cream. Me and my daughter got him a card yesterday. I gave him cash as a present. We ate and chatted. Then my mom asked me to take cake to my disabled aunt and elderly grandmother. It was on my way home so I did not mind.

[VerMOZZica]

I had a nice day today . I went out shopping with my folks today and we had lunch together. I picked up a few things for my niece's birthday. It was a very pleasant day. I'm thankful for the good days.

[LadyShadow]

Always thankful for the good days like VerMOZZica said. I think overall today was a great day. I didn't accomplish much, but I think I am on the road to healthier life. I had a few "hits" of mania, but I am so unsure of how to classify it anymore. Maybe I am just a bit happier now than I used to be? I really hope that's what it is.

[Unhinged88]

It was a great day. But now my heart is racing, my thoughts are darting all over the place. I want to go get stuff done. Took sleep meds. Didn't make a dent in my energy level. ****. But it feels so much better than the horrible state of depression I have been in for the last 3 straight months.

I am seriously excited

on tuesday (so in 2 days time), their is going to be a new tv channel launching dedicated to...... wait for it........

crime shows

I seriously can't wait.

as soon as the clock strikes midnight, I am going to see if I can find it in time for the big launch.

I seriously can't wait

yay

itt's about time for a new channel

[scatterbrained04]

Maybe I should knock on wood, but I've had about a week's break from my mood dipping down into depression. It's been nice. I really need to get a life though. All this sitting and laying around is not doing me any favors.

[bpforever1]

I took my meds and threw out the trash. Then, I went out to eat and at the cafe did my class preparation. I met my student and came back. Now, I am relaxing. Tomorrow, I have an interview with the innovative school. I am excited!! I will show my stuff and be proud!!

[Gabyunbound]

I've been like this for a couple of years now, though now it's worse. When I think about it, I've been like this since starting Abilify (and I've been pretty stable all this time) but I honestly don't know if it has anything to do with it.

I get nothing done. Whenever I even THINK of doing laundry, or straightening up, or answering emails, or going through snail mail, or paying bills, exercising, even showering on non-work days, etc., etc., I get so anxious, I just feel paralyzed and end up doing nothing.

Anxiety related to these things just doesn't make sense. And now I'm wondering if it's been depression all of this time, or a form of depression. I just don't have the energy. I know I'll feel better if and when I do these things, and yet I still don't. It's so demoralizing, I just feel lazy, but I know something else must be going on, I just don't know what it is. It is so frustrating and makes me very sad and feel badly about myself. I wish I knew how to get out of this.

Been a quite weekend. Husband has been sick and just got out of bed today. Lots of moaning and groaning though. He just started a new job and stayed home sick on Friday. Not a good way to start but he was really sick, this is a man who never gets sick.
Hugs to everyone!!
