I've been able to think clearly for everyone else but me lately.
Just took a vistaril for the first time in about a year. I started totally flipping out! I have no reason to be that way but my entire being seems like it wants to explode. I hope they were still good and that it will help. Maybe they weren't? What do they turn into? I've been relying on kava a lot lately, about 3 times in a week, and I know there's no physical addiction possibility, but maybe all this is all more than I am capable of handling? I'm scared. I mean, do I belong here by MYSELF? Is this crazy guy capable of taking care of himself? I might have to take more Seroquel if I keep having trouble sleeping like I have been having. But, then my blood pressure drops when I take it and that raises my heart rate. I just need to know I'm going to be ok! It's been almost three weeks I've been here, tomorrow it is.

Most Meds have a pretty long shelf life. Hang in there. How did the shopping trip go?

She cancelled. My mind is wandering too, trying to figure out what I did wrong and finding a million things

Hang in there—taking a pill isn’t reason why you’re not OK in your new place. You’re going to be ok. I get odd reactions to pills that shouldn’t cause it. Depending on whether I’m up or down in the bipolar cycle, meds act in different ways.

When does it wear off?

Several hours. Vistaril is a mild sedative/antihistamine/anxiotlytic. I'm not sure I want this life of living always feeling like everything is an unknown because I know that everything is unknown. That's not as bad as it reads, I know.

Ah, OK. Maybe tell yourself to reassess how you feel in a while.

I’m so sorry you’re suffering

I think it’s common to use Vistaril as an initial anaesthetic for some surgeries. So it should have a mild sedative effect.

It’s all an unknown, this life, isn’t it? I’m 99.8% certain that there is no afterlife, for example, but I don’t know what 9 or 11 different dimensions might contain. I’m also a fan of multiverses and I have wondered if there may be some sort of ‘other-life’ in those dimensions in this universe or in millions of other universes. I doubt that I exist elsewhere, though. I guess that’s not an unknown, really. As ‘not unknown’ it doesn’t become known but rather tossed back into the unknown pile.

We are all gamblers, betting on percentages each day. We’re 99% sure that the sun will rise, 97% sure to have our morning tea or coffee, etc. Maybe everything is percentage rather than an unknown. All that behind us and all to come may be explained by a statistical value given as percentages.

What’s your greatest unknown?

I went to sleep but I didn't lose all the anxiety overnight. So grateful there's yoga later. Gonna shave today, probably. I don't often because of the massive irritation it causes. I'm intensely hypersexual in thoughts this morning, but keeping control. I found a place inside but outside my building that I want to have sex and the thought of it there won't leave my head and keeps getting stronger. My building is built like a donut and there's porches on the inside of the donut. I shouldn't want to have sex in such a risky place but I can't help the thoughts of it.

Please don’t beat yourself up about something you “shouldn’t” want. The groin wants what the groin wants. dealing with your moods is enough work for one day.

I'm not in a relationship and don't think I want sex outside of one right now. But, who knows with me? I might go for any opportunities sometimes, and have in the past had sex in places I certainly could have been arrested for

Well you recognize that you don’t want to do it. That’s a good thing.

No, I very much want to. I only know I shouldn't want to. Maybe I want to because I know it's wrong. I'm having very vivid fantasies about what I would do there, but trying to shake them. I guess it's gotten my mind somewhat off of my anxiety for a while
