Reading- caught up now. Several pages wotth.

Im home listening to the dishwasher and washing machine lull me to sleep- or at least really relaxed.

Starbuck with peter got shortened brcause n3 called and said he has a headache in his eye and cheek. Sounded like sinus to me so i gave him Tylenol. Hope he takes a nap.

My seroquel is finally lowered to 200! Woot!

Noahs halloween costume hasnt come yet. Hmmm...

Oops- dishwasher is quiet- must be drying. Time to move over the laundry...

I'm doing OK today. First day not to take the Wellbutrin, but doing fine. Next week is going to be the big test as a lot is going on. Well, really a lot from Saturday through the entire week.

Concentrating better on the increased Adderall. But maybe concentrating too well? I don't know. I spent all morning doing 2 things that shouldn't have been that time-consuming. Pdoc upped the Adderall yesterday at my appt. because apparently I must have not even been paying much attention to his questions and then answering with a completely different topic (that was what he told me anyway). Though all of that could be bipolar (especially as I'm still mixed, it won't ever end) and/or brain fog from fibromyalgia as I've had a flare lately.

Guess we'll see.

Today I saw a new dentist and I need a bunch of things done. I wouldn't care about any of them except that I have to have that crown and the filling no-gloves dentist put in re-done because they weren't done correctly and as they are I'm at risk for infection and a root canal. I've had some discomfort in there off and on but I thought it was just my tooth-grinding.

I want to fight the dentist who screwed up for my money back since I have to pay the full price for the one I'm getting in 2 weeks as my insurance only re-does crowns every 5 years, not every 6 months, but am not sure who to complain to. Hopefully I can figure it out and win.

At least I like the new dentist and the office. I just wish I wasn't going to be paying so much quite so soon.

Oh well.

I'm so sorry. I had a dental issue early Feb. of this year. The owner dentist hired a new dentist. I got the new one. I needed a crown I think, and he was doing all the prep work for the temporary. Then, I don't know what he did; neither he nor the hygienist were paying much attention because next thing I knew, I had swallowed a dental burr. Even worse, neither that dentist nor the hygienist reported it. Dentist said you'll be OK, sent me on my way, and the next day the owner had found out, called and told me I should have been sent to see and doctor and get x-rays right away.

God, that was awful. I could tell the owner felt bad (and didn't want the pants sued off him). I had to go daily for x-rays to a clinic, until the burr had worked it's way out of my body.

I did end up getting the crown and dental work associated with it for free and the dentist also threw in a dental nightguard. I don't grind my teeth at night, I don't think; H has never heard it, but I do notice waking with my teeth clenched hard, which has been expensive and resulted in many broken teeth and crowns. I am hoping this nightguard helps; so far, it's a little too soon to tell. I remember when I got my ulcer surgery the surgeon asking about things that potentially could fall off during that surgery, and I mentioned the temporary crown. Luckily, it stayed on through surgery, hospitalization, enough recovery that I could finally get the permanent crown placed. Now, though, I get VIP treatment there, and only the owner works on me. If our dental insurance doesn't cover something for me, they take care of it and don't charge.

The GI doc said the dental burr didn't cause the ulcer and didn't cause the perforation, especially as I was regularly taking NSAIDs for fibro & and had ulcer-causing bacteria Heliobacter pylori, and I wasn't treating the ulcer since I had no symptoms. He said the ulcer perforation would have happened anyway, but the dental incident could have sped up the timeline, stress, whether physical, mental or both not being good for ulcers. And I had a ton of other stress in my life at the time - financial, parenting, having to pay a fortune for new contacts, helping my daughter make sure she had Valentine's Day cards for all her classmates, etc.

Yeah, 2018 really has been a year for the dogs for me.

Well, I got two duplicate parts, so now I can't fix what I want to fix.

He was all like, "sorry, but we ran out of these sets of items. They're out of stock. I asked our supplier and they said there is nothing they can do." Then I went back to the eBay page where he was selling that set of items and of course, it showed "more than 10 available." I even added those items to my cart to see what would happen. Sure enough, it gave me the option to buy them again. (I didn't buy them, though. I'm not doing it from this douche.)

Either he didn't update his eBay page with how many items he has left in stock, or he's lying. He didn't even offer me a partial refund for the missing items. So I think he's lying. He probably thinks I'm a liar, too. But why would I lie over a set of $10 items? All I wanted was the pieces that were missing. Pisses me off.

Take a picture (ideally with duplicate items side by side so it's super-obvious) open a claim under "item not as described" and you should be able to get this sorted in short order. There's not much legitimate case for him if the picture clearly shows duplication, while the description claims all are different. Your money should be refunded whether he thinks so or not, given the circumstances.

Sorry you have to deal with it at all though.

Interesting week for me. I have been estranged from my daughter. This has been going on for awhile, but nothing as terrible as this. I was wondering she will even allow me to be there when she gives birth to my grand daughter. I even felt that we may not see each other for quite a while. Yesterday night she came over to tell me that she is not happy about what has been happening between us. So right now, so far, we are getting along a little better. What was happening to me was allot of depression and negative thinking. This helped making our relationship worse.

My doctor left the public facility that I have been going to for my meds. l have been with him for 15 years. Some time later while waiting for a nurse, I overheard someone saying my doctors name. I talked to him and found out that my doctor is still practicing in an office fourty five minutes away. I used the telephone number that this person gave me to make an appointment with my doctor. I saw him at his office yesterday and have been given different meds.

I have elected a new insurance carroer which has him as an in-network specialist. I am lucky it is the time of the year that I can do this with Medicare Advantage plan. Unfortunately it starts Jan 1st of next year. BTW he changed my diagnosis from Bipolar NOS to Bipolar I. I asked him about this. If I had just one manic episode in my past, I am labeled as BP I.

I heard someone yelling outside. I opened my door to find a neighbor across the road waving a gun around. A policeman was there giving him commands to drop the gun. I thought he eas going to get shot. I closed my door. I found out later he now is staying at a hospital psych unit, probably for the three day observation period. He really needs help, so I hope they help him with his problems. He has needed help for several years now, and probably longer than that.

I'm out of Abilify. I had called in a refill, but there was something wrong with the pharmacy's system. They didn't even know that I had rung them. Two days without it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

[TheSeaCat]

I got the job! I probably start Monday. I'm trying to adjust to the new diagnosis from the Therapist they do make sense I just don't know how to cope and I'm afraid it might effect the new job. Feels like I'm back to being scared of everything again.

Hugs to everyone.

I’ve been without my Abilify for a couple of days when they had to special order it and I was okay even on a high dose but that’s me. I hope you get your prescription soon.

OMG, with the gun! Someone posted on NextDoo about a similar incident in our neighborhood, a guy in military dress walking up and down the street, but worse, right near my daughter's elementary school. Thankfully, she was already home.

Our street is pretty unremarkable. We have one older lady who is what I'd call a frequent customer of the police. I think she calls them out for anything and everything. Whenever her daughter comes to visit, they usually have loud arguments, during which she calls the police. I don't think the police ever arrested the daughter or anything like that. Probably just rolled their eyes and said, "Here we go again."

I hope your relationship with your daughter improves and that you will get to enjoy your new grandchild.

I'm peachy peachy. Never better.
I broke my own daily record of expenditure, in recent times. Went over 1k for the first time in years.
Back then, didn't count. I had the money.
Now I'm burning plastic. Unshamefull.
It's their fault. They keep rasing my limits when I'm over them. Specially PayPal credit.
I started with them with a 1k limit, and now, three months later, I'm over 4k.

With The Superior Power's favor, and my Hyperenergy, I hope to be debt free in a year.
Maybe not have a lot of flow, but will have a lot of goods. And a lot of happiness.

I'm productive again. What a privilege. Not noticed when you are.

Cheers.

Still really non verbal.

Nerve conduction study done this am, glad it’s over.

[yellow_fleurs]

Took a work related class today and enjoyed it. I even participated and asked questions. I have gotten better at that. I used to be too anxious.
I am still feeling irritable and like I need space. I am finding little things aggravate and overstimulate me. I am really happy my SO is visiting. We went out for Indian food tonight and it was delicious. But I have had to stop myself from being snippy with him. Nothing to do with him, just how I feel right now.
Also starting to feel a little blue. It is rainy and grey and I have missed a day or two with my light therapy treatment so going back to that. Apparently my moods swapped this month from their usual pattern.
Still not 100% sure I don't just have a combo of PMDD/depression and unusual med reactions. Guess I'll just pay attention to my moods and figure it out in the future.

[Wild Coyote]

Saw my pdoc today.

Met friends at a pub. I could not wait to leave! Very anxious/unsettled and wanted to go home to get ready for bed long before bedtime! I did not enjoy myself, which is unusual. Very irritable.

This early darkness and cold weather is causing me to want to hibernate!

The snow is coming! We have had some already and we can see lots on the nearby mountains. Brrrr!

Love to All!

I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy yourself and hope you feel better soon.

I’d love to change locales with you as I love, love, love snow. We rarely get snow here. Do you get very much there?

Thanks, Jennifer!

I used to like snow! It is pretty! It just gets sooo cold!

We do get a lot of snow over the winter! We do not get nearly as much as we used to get however.

I guess I am just not looking forward to the winter "cabin fever" so many get in this region. It would be great to enjoy a winter sport, yet I can no longer ski and cold weather causes things to act up so I just cannot be out in the cold, cold weather.

Thanks again!

I currently don't know how i feel or anything. Based on my mobile mood tracker I;ve probably been manic for awhile though i noticed today i've been kind of out of it and my movements have been more slow motion than usual. hopefully i;m not falling into a depression again. Though i think i've been doing pretty well considering i haven't been able to be on any medication due to not having any insurance and the medicine i was stable on costs waay too much out of pocket.

yesterday evening I abandoned all plans of a cooked meal and just had a KFC!. it was delicious, 8 peaces of chicken, chips and a coke

afterwards I tried to settle down and watch " women on the verge", but was having really bad focus issues, and I ended up... well, I don't remember what I did- I lost time.

no sleep making it yet another sleepless week.
today so far had breakfast and dressed, put music on and came on here.

I feel average... not bad, but not really good- nothing I'm looking forward to or anything

I'm present though. I'm here. I'm in 2018

My brother nixed my sister's and my plan to try to get Dad hospitalized for detox and psych today. The three of us will all get together tomorrow to talk. Tomorrow all three of us will participate in a walk for suicide awareness in our area.

[yellow_fleurs]

Got more sleep last night, used the light box, and had acupuncture today. Going on a hike with my SO soon. Feeling a little better. Still feeling irritable and like I need a fair amount of space. Trying to catch myself before I snap at anyone without good reason.

I was supposed to walk in that walk as well but I can’t walk too far because of my back. I hope I can make it next year!

I’m sorry your brother doesn’t agree. I hope you all come up with a solution you can all agree on soon.

I'm so sorry your brother didn't agree with the plan to help your dad. I hope y'all can come to a solution soon.

I'm sorry about the walk. I wanted to do one earlier in the year here (though I think it was a mental health walk in general but didn't because I hate driving into Houston).

[Blueberrybook]

I slept 11 hours last night. Can't believe it. Usually I'm up much earlier than that. Making up for lost time I think.

So far, so good without the Wellbutrin. I think not taking it is already helping my memory. I doubt stopping it will help 100%, but I'm tired of going into a room of my house 15-20 times a day and knowing I had a purpose going there and completely forgetting why. Not to mention talking in sentences that go off on tangents and confuse other people, and forgetting where I put things all the time, though all of that could be mixed BP, ADHD, fibro, who knows?

We're going to an old-fashioned Halloween type celebration at at local bayou this evening. They've got a old farmhouse and outbuildings there. It is actually the place my husband goes to do his hobby of blacksmithing once a month. It cost a little for the reservations, but H said to do it; it was fun last year. They give the kids talks on spiders or other creepy critters, take out the snakes & reptiles for petting, make yarn dolls, do origami (bats last year), a straw dive for toys, and a night hike through the woods with a guide, apple cider & such. They hire a local artist to paint mud masks on the trees along the hike, and our daughter loved spotting those first (since she insisted on the most powerful flashlight we brought). It is a bit tiring for me, being that I am not a night person for things like that, but it is a good cause (profits go to upkeep of the bayou, animals & outbuildings). Though I think part of the protection of that area of bayou & land (besides being donated as a reservation area by the former family who lived there) is due to space needed around NASA/JSC because NASA is very close by. Hopefully, I do OK energy-wise. I sometimes crash early in the night. Maybe some coffee beforehand. Luckily, there are actual restrooms instead of port-a-potties. Both H and I think it is good for our daughter to have a candy-free Halloween/fall celebration.

Interesting. I did not know that! I think I'll file a claim against this eBay seller.

Ridiculous, though. I don't know why we couldn't've settled this problem the easy way. It's not that hard to fix your packaging error. Just send me the missing stuff, which isn't all that expensive anyway? Implying that someone is a liar, even after seeing photographic evidence, when you're the one who f_cked up is a pretty sh_tty move.

I've never had such problems with eBay before and I've bought plenty of stuff off eBay. This seller happened to have VERY good ratings, too, which is why I purchased from them. I also happen to have good buyer ratings.

Spent today in the ER. Woke up to sharp pain in mt chest on the left side. It happened twice. I called primary and she said to go to ER if i had shortness of breath or dizziness.

So I stood up out of bed and felt very dizzy. I called 911 and an ambulance took me to the hospital. After 7 hours the discharged me with nothing wrong but high blood pressure. Am to call primary to get a follow up. Btw the bp was 200/135 or something at first but went down gradually.

Do you think this couldve been an anxiety attack?
