I was tired and irritable this morning, but felt better after an afternoon nap. I'm not sure I see a big difference on 120 mg except all signs of psychosis seem to be gone now. My mom is super worried about me increasing the dose and keeps saying "I liked you better on 80 mg" over every little thing. I wish she'd just let me see for myself how I feel.

Got to see my 1year old nephew today. He's now walking and talking since last we saw him. Pretty cute!
Sadly, my mood was kinda getting low and I had to leave. Might visit them tomorrow but we are also getting some mattresses installed so will be a pretty busy day clearing space and cleanup and all. Getting ready for our guests next month.

I went to the cemetery today. I tried to talk to my husband and got a little bit out but it was too painful to say most of what I wanted to say. I should have written a letter and read it to him but that was too painful too. I’m no longer hypo like I was in March and I don’t want to feel the pain. I know I have to to get better. I don’t feel as angry with him anymore and I don’t feel like I can never love another human now that NV has come into my life. In fact being with NV has helped me process a lot of what has gone on with my husband. And he doesn’t even know about it honestly. I’ve processed mostly on my own.
I did hang out with my in laws for a few hours which was nice. My son was bad but he didn’t mean to be. He just doesn’t listen. It’s part of the probable ADHD. I have to learn some strategies for dealing with an ADHD child. What I’m doing isn’t cutting it, and what my mom tries to do (just yell at him until he listens) doesn’t work either. Sigh. Tough day. I just wish I could actually see my husband again and let him know how much he hurt me. I know that’s impossible but still. A girl can dream... I’ve been trying to find some spirituality in my life. Like I told myself that I didn’t get the first two jobs because god or the universe or whatever knows best, which I think is true. Those jobs didn’t feel right to me. I thought this third job did but now I’m worried it will be too stressful because they kept emphasizing how busy it was. But it’s something I would be good at, working in a medical office. I would be good at that, I have excellent customer service skills. I was great in retail, even though I hated it. I don’t know. I just want to believe things will work out for me and I made the best move resigning from teaching. I mean I know I did for sure. I just hate not working.

I’m feeling much more relaxed I watched Mary Ellen Copeland’s WRAP video on Youtube. That is always my go to video. I ate a little spaghetti and garlic bread. It was not homemade not the same. I wrapped it up and put it in the refrigerator. I had a friend that has been calling me for a few days and I have not been answering. I answered after the second call today. I told him I was fine just had somethings going on that I did not want to talk about. He told me about something he was working on. He said not to stress because it makes your hair fall out. I was not in the mood to reply back. Then he said I’ll call you tomorrow morning. I did not say anything. He said well when should I call you? I didn’t know what to say so I said Monday. I really do not want to talk to him right now.

Wow I fell asleep last night without medication. I figured I’d lay there for a while and see what happens, next thing I know it 3:30am and I fell back to sleep again until 6am! All quite surprising as I’d had an awful anxiety day yday afternoon with thoughts of SH. I am truly grateful for an unmedicated night
 Have a happy Sunday everyone

It's been a really nice weekend. Husband and I went for our first motorcycle ride of the season yesterday. It was a beautiful day and we had a really good time. Being out in the sun really helps my mood. I'm feeling really good right now.
HUGS to all!!!

Trying to accept that healing (at least mine) is not linear.

I've been reading, but failing to comment much.
My pdoc retires this week, after 20 years of being under his care.  I still do not know if there will be a doctor taking over. I won't know for sure until later this week. Pdoc shortage in this area right now. I need a pdoc, so I hope to have one... soon. Have been experimenting with a change in meds. It keeps me calmer; yet, still not very productive. Love to all! WC

My 12 year old just left with her dad. Their going on a big family trip with his side of the family. She will get to meet her great grandmother for the first time. I’ve known about this trip for a few months. But today her dad tells me they decided to stay longer! Now my daughter will be gone until Friday.

mostly a quiet day today (like sundays should be)
anxiety got a little overwelming in the evening, and in turn that affected my mood- but I did the healthy thing and wrote down my feelings, rather than scream or take it out on someone. |

Our cat is unusual--she doesn't want me to see her playing or using the scratching post. My husband and daughter wound new rope on the posts so we don't have to have to buy new ones. They rub catnip into the rope to make it more enticing. Our cat was using it, I looked at her, and she had this look like she was caught doing something bad.
Did dishes, doing the last two of five loads of laundry, put some cooked sausage in freezer bags, froze some ripe bananas, and prepped the meat and sauce for dinner tonight. It's one time I wish we had a toaster oven because heating the oven to broil heats up the whole kitchen. I'm really tired because I didn't sleep well and woke up early. I'm off of my feet for a little bit. I keep thinking I have an appointment tomorrow because I saw my old T on Mondays. I don't have anything because it's Memorial Day. I'm seeing trauma T on Tuesday for post-EMDR processing. I'm thinking of a hard memory to run EMDR on, but it's something I need to confront and work through. At least we did get out for a little bit before it got too hot, even if it was just the supermarket. Mood is down but I'm overheating and have a headache, along with being tired. Hope you all are doing well. |

I'm excited. I started trying to lose weight while on clozapine back in September but lost several months when my gall bladder failed and I had to eat what I could tolerate while waiting 3 months for surgery.
Today I met 2 huge goals: I broke 200 lbs and I have lost 25 lbs. I'm sure it will bounce back over 200 a few more times but I've pretty much gotten there. I'm also out of women's plus and into regular sized clothes except for t-shirts which are 1X. Next goal is 190.

Yet another day in the asylum. After a couple of ‘stable days’, having a mania filled day has blown my chances of going home this week.
I would be devistated if it wasn’t for the fact I’m immensely amused by everything.
