I went for a 6 mile hike with my younger son, climbing about 1,000 feet from the valley floor to the top of the Palisades ridge. It was fun despite being without water. (My mistake.)

I still haven't sent anything to my FIL.

Sounds like a fun outing!

That sounds amazing!! I’m jealous — all I did today was binge watch The Office in my pajamas.

If it's ok to share a pic in this thread, take a look at this for a sense of what our hike entailed. https://80d2853cc4def76b377d-54344bc...rge/379652.jpg

Then I turn around, buy handcuffs, he says no and its all I can do to not sob before I leave. I'm courteous with my family, saying only good things going on in my life like judo while inside I know that this is far from the truth. My nurse practitioner ALMOST caught this last Thursday when I saw her- the depressed yet hypo/manic states but she let it go. I'm left wondering if I should call her on Monday or if I should see if my new med arrangement will iron some of this out. Meanwhile, I'm afraid I will scare away each and every one of my friends one by one.
If I tell pdoc this she will throw me back on lithium and not take me off seroquel like we'd planned- and possibly up my Wellbutrin.

Wouldn't the meds help you to feel better, though?

I feel a bit better. Looked at memes all day and found the ozzy man reviews channel on FB i really like this video. haha. Here's me critical analysis of the... - Ozzy Man Reviews

I ordered some actual food today but forgot apparently I'm allergic to rice and onions. who can keep up with this **** anyways? I found out uber eats delivers here so I ordered from a thai place and got steak thai noodle soup. It was very close to pho. Ofc it had rice noodles and a handful of onions. I threw in all the spicy stuff (chili sauce, jalapenos) so my mouth was burning quite a while because I have sores in my mouth but every once in a while I do spicy stuff anyways for the hell of it. After I ate it though I thought about what if there was sesame oil in it. I didn't get any nasty stomach issues though. I'm just bloated asf so the pants went a long time ago.

I'm starting to get tired. I wish my husband would call back so I could talk to him. We don't get to talk a lot.

My dog woke me up at 8 AM CST. We went out for a walk. Then my stomach became upset. I checked the refrigerator and pantry realized I forgot to purchase ginger ale. I ate a few saltine cracker and got back in bed. Later I felt better and decided to wake my daughter to see if she was hungry. I ate very light just two toast. I watched a little Netflix. Then made a grocery list on my app. I’m cooking a homemade baked ziti and need to get all the ingredients. I actually cannot eat it but both my daughters can. They love ❤️ it. I went to Dollar Tree first to buy a big bowl. That way I can put leftovers in it and freeze it. I’ve been super lucky my oldest daughter K works part time at Evolve Paleo. Employees get to take home food that’s close to expiration dates. She brought home a weeks worth of food for me!!! The food was really good too. What I did is bring the food home and freeze it. The salads I ate first so they would not expire. Oh I have really good news....my oldest daughter starts a new full time job this Tuesday. I explained to her to keep her opinions about the training to herself.

I hiked up there with my son today. I've always lived in mountainous areas, so climbs like today's are meditative. ...but I'm quite sore.

my legs are currently in a lot of pain.

I hurt my left one this morning anyway, and my chronic pain is all ready pretty bad today, so.... go figure.

overeating is still bad, yesterday I ate 3 bags of candy and my meal

another night without sleep, though I did watch a game show I like to watch so that was cool.

I am feeling good... it just started raining outside- that helps

So this morning I went to Starbucks and this same guy had left me a $50 gift card with the manager! Not only THAT but I took a picture of a fortune from a cookie that said "Remember three months from this date. Good things will befall you." Why did I take the picture I dunno. Why did I find it again I dunno. But the date stamp was today. My friend knows nothing about this fortune. And heck- I don't even believe in them! Bit this one did have me wondeting.

Ran a lot this morning.

I picked up groceries. I have found that shopping curbside is helping me with making impulse purchases, and I hope it continues that way.

Did lots of chores and am tired now. I might lie down. I've been up since 3 AM.

I'm doing good so far, despite some GI issues. Went to two parks and took some pictures. Had a big salad for lunch. Going to Oriental for dinner.

It's my birthday, so I bought a bunch of music off of iTunes and picked up a new graphics tablet. I'm going to have to spend some time learning this, but I think it will be fun.

My daughter's cat is having some skin issues, but we're taking her to the vet tomorrow anyway so she'll be checked out. One of my daughter's coworkers came in with bedbugs, so I hope it's not that. Our cat is going in as well for a wellness check.

I forgot to pick up my Trileptal last week, so I hope it's still at the pharmacy tomorrow. Plus my daughter is coming over before she goes to work. I bought a mug for her, so I hope she likes it. Going to be a busy day.

Hugs and love to everyone!

Got another jaw-dropper yesterday. Only real upside of all this crap is that I'm feeling strong to deal with it. TG for being in a good place or I'd be a mess.

Extra hugs to those who are struggling.

I haven't been active here lately. I got discharged from PHP on Friday. I'm feeling overwhelmed at the moment. Tomorrow I need to get an oil change, go to my old job and drop off my T-shirts/uniform and pick up my last check from two months ago, and go to the community college to register for a class I want to take. I have a bunch of doctor's appointments coming up too--cardiologist, nephrologist, ECT consultation (which is in another state 3 hours away), PCP and psychiatrist. Also there's pressure to find a new job from family but I want to wait until after the ECT consult before applying anywhere.

Overall I'm doing better lately. Anxious and mildly depressed, but still able to get through the days. ((((Hugs)))) to all who want them.

OK, managed dinner even if I had zero appetite. Back in the days when my ED was so bad, I would have been so happy for that (because the truth was I was always hungry, no matter what I weighed, probably caused by excessive exercise).

It's the stupid anxiety and the not knowing what the future holds jobwise for my husband. Maybe one day possibly for me. But not right now. I'm too close to needing a psych hospital just staying home that I definitely should not take a job at this point. I haven't been so low in a long, long time. It is beyond stressful. Why do we have so much bad luck? It's not fair

And now to shell out more money...my daughter lost a tooth while we were eating.

I am not sleeping great although 5-6 hr./night is good by bipolar means, I suppose. I just feel so drained and done. I have been very depressed lately though managed to get through today without a breakdown. Maybe that was just all the chores I had to do.

One of these days, I'll perk up and start replying to other people's posts again, I hope.
