Glad you are feeling good, but I hope you get more sleep tonight. You have to be careful with hypomania. Mine sometimes gets out of control quickly.

Yikes! That is not good. 400 mg usually knocks me out a good 5 hours. I am glad your daughter helped you and that you are fine now. I once did that took double too my night dose of meds, including Seroquel, so 800 mg for me, which since I am small for an adult woman was wast too much for me. I had some scary side effects, especially with my vision the next morning as well as feeling tired as a zombie. Luckily, I made it to bed before I passed out.

Pnurse's nurse called. Talked with pnurse about my almost fainting. She said to take my pills right before I get into bed- not before dinner or watching tv etc.

Doing better today. Back is healing and I was able to clear more stuff out of the sunroom. I was also able to go to one of our favorite parks and take some photos. Hope to have those up on Flickr soon.

My husband was reluctant to make some followup phone calls on our house repair so I did. I got good news about the roof repair and our butts are covered for the ceiling repair.

Packages came in. Time to look at the goodies. All of it is stuff for the house so that's cool.

Good mood today.

Lots of love and hugs to you all.

I'm glad your back is starting to feel better!
Your success at getting things done inspires me to try to do more!
I hope you have a fun weekend.

We passed our inspection!!! We ad been cleaning/checking the things on the list they sent us (plus general house cleaning) for a day and a half straight before the inspection lady showed up! She came in, looked around, asked a few questions, said wepassed and left! Yahoo! This means HUD will continue to subsidize our rent. If not I don't know what we would've done. This happens once a year.

Feel like I am running hot today, generally angry/irritable and jittery, not really at anything. Found out I can start my job in September, not October, so am relieved I will have the money, and a schedule might be good for me. I am nervous that I feel unstable, though, and I will start before I even follow up with my pdoc again. I will just have to do my best to get through each day.

I am sorry you have had a rough day.
September is just around the corner! Is the idea of going to work creating more anxiety for you? I hope you have a restful night.

People have often told me they'd "stayed away" or remained "quiet" because they did not know what to say. It's super supportive to me if they just say/show they care, I am never looking for anything special, just acknowledgement does wonders. It's fine to simply tell your mom that you love her and are sorry she has this challenge to deal with... or something very simple. I am sure she needs extra love and support just now.

You are a very kind-hearted person. I am sure she is lucky to have you for a son!

You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

Starting a new job is stress enough. I'm glad you can start early but am sorry you feel unstable. Can you get an earlier followup with your pdoc?

Still down on my life, but trying to make the best of it. Made some procrastinated and dreaded phone calls (phone phobic, so big deal!), then rewarded myself with the fun thing on the list -- bought tickets to 2 live music shows coming this fall!!!!! Really can't afford to (even though reasonable prices), but I desperately need some FUN! It's been FAR too long.

So, I'm excited.

BF extremely unlikely to be able to go to one (he'd probably hate the other, lol!), but I am very, very used to doing everything solo. Doesn't stop me from having fun. (Sure, company would be nice, but unrealistic.)

Woohoo!!!!!

Thanks I am looking forward to the job, although I often get anxious when starting something new. I find myself more anxious about it this time because I am not functioning very well when I try to do work at the moment, between my lack of ability to sustain attention and how I have been feeling. I just hope I can handle it and do my job without problem!

Thanks, I don't know if I can see them earlier, but if I get worse off meds (esp before my period) I am supposed to call, so maybe then I would go in earlier. I have an uneasy feeling about how I will do on my next period, so guess we will see. By the way, I am glad you are feeling better regarding the UTI!
