I drove home in rush hour traffic because PT ran late. It made me nostalgic for my days as a CPA/MBA in corporate America. I even miss the 60-80 hour work weeks during tax season. I plan to go back part time sooner rather then later (hopefully).

I’ve been without my Xanax ER for about six days and I took 2 a few hours ago to get it back in my system. Pleasantly zen and relaxed right now.

Warm wishes to all and hugs to those that need them.

The snow turned out much worse than expected. It took my husband 3 hours to get home from a usual 30 mins commute because of accidents, cars/trucks in ditches, detours, and just inching traffic. They let him out at 2 pm and he wasn't home until 5 pm. He said it took 1 hour just from an intersection that could be walked from in 25 mins.

People get too confident driving in snow. Also, the snow crews were nowhere to be found.

We are in the same state so I know exactly what you’re talking about. My sister in law took two hours getting home and she left at one. I thankfully have a five minute commute so it only took me fifteen minutes.

It's a cold, snowy day here today, too!
We are supposed to get another 6 inches overnight.

I am in a lot of pain today, head-to-toe. Saw rheumy. Many joints inflamed. I have Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA). The weather is not helping.

I had a good, hot meal for dinner. Yum!
I had cooked it in a crock-pot yesterday. I had made a lot, as I often freeze some. I love crock pots. Just added the ingredients in the morning and had a delicious hot meal by dinnertime. The stew I had made yesterday was even better tonight!

I am resting in bed. I am in pain, am tired and want to stay very warm!

I hope everyone has a restful night!

I hope the pain lets up and you have a restful night as well. Fingers crossed that you do. Thinking of you.

Hi Jennifer!

Thank you!

I saw your post about driving home at rush hour. I can envision you leaving work and driving your hot sports car home!

I think of you daily.

Much Love,

WC

Tehehe. That really made me laugh. Thank you.

I think of you daily too and always smile and wish you well.

Allergies suck. I am miserable. Toying with seeing the PCP, but she is one of those docs who only prescribes antibiotics if absolutely necessary, and sinus infections tend to be viral unless a week or more has gone by and you still have it. She gave H steroids for his recent sinus infection which was almost a week long (injection & inhaler). It did help him, but H always responds well to steroids like prednisone unless the issue is major (such as severe back pain leading to back surgery).

Welcome back. Please let us know how we can be of support.

Life is not bad externally, I cannot complain. Inside my head I am wrestling with my thoughts, though. I hope therapy will help in a couple of days. I wish someone could step inside my head with me and bring me out, it feels scary in here. I know I am the only one who can get myself out though.

Hope everyone's week ends well! Hugs to those who want them!

I`m exhausted . I`ve been feeling under the weather for days now. I think it`s one of my meds that is making me feel this way and it really stinks. Sending hugs to all those that need them.

Was rapid cycling then had a trigger which PTSD took over.. and I rapid cycles slower with it. Now I feel a bit leveling out... I know management management management

I wish I only had one dx.. I am not looking forward to mixed states and more rapid cycles which usually come In the winter with the reminder that I have no family while everyone else has family or friends .. yes, generalizing but it's a fair generalization for the majority of the population.
Yes, it was safer for me to leave my own blood but I am upset that I haven't felt like I have been able to create my own family or what I feel as true friendship.. besides with my ex ...
Idk .. the bpd takes in to play too.
I don't fit in this check in thread but it's ok. Thanks for letting me take up some space.
I know, #notalone .. but it's awfully lonely sometimes

I can't sleep tonight, :/ ugh

once again circumstances have got in the way of things... today I was actually meant to go to town to see the switching on of the christmas lights

but it's not happening, and honestly, not sure much is.

apart from having a gross shower this morning, I'm just sat here listening to music- and that's how it will probably remain for the day

My daughter's school is getting frustrating. Today, the 5th grade students have to dress as an early colonist or Native American. OMG, thank God I'm small and my daughter tall. I had a long gray skirt (loose waisted), she had a long-sleeved black shirt, and we fashioned a bonnet & apron out of white lawn freeze covering material. (The kids were supposed to make the costumes from what they had.) Getting my daughter's on & comfortable & to her satisfaction (she tends to be a perfectionist) has been a chore with her sensory issues. She's readjusting things AGAIN and still hasn't finished breakfast. And they get a grade on this crazy costume. We are not worrying about shoes; she has only light purple sneakers that are comfortable but not super viewable under this long skirt. I said tell the teacher she is from a poor farming family and these are the only shoes she could find that fit.

I don't know why the school has to complicate a day before a week-long holiday so much.

Lots of snow. As my username indicates it doesn’t thrill me. Snows pretty it’s just to bad it has to bed cold to have it. Hate the cold most. Oh well. Moving south is certainly not in the cards anytime soon.
Made beef stew in crock pot (WC is saw you had used your CP too!) comfort food.
Hugs to everyone

Hubby is home today in preparation for our trip. We'll be leaving the snow behind for more tropical weather. This year bird boy won't stay with my brother. My brother is a good care taker, but given my dad's situation we thought it best to board him at the giant bird place from which we adopted him. He'll hopefully have fun watching and listening to different species of birds. We told him it'll be like Club Med.

I have a LOT of ironing to do, but everything else will be done quickly afterwards. I did a lot earlier this week. My neighbor will watch the house and do some minor chores inside.

Got a fair amount of snow where I live last night. When I commuted to work downtown, it was raining! Quite a change from the suburbs! I'm glad I don't have to drive all the way.

I seem to have developed sores in my mouth. My pdoc says it's from the Modafinil.

She's not worried about it yet but suggests holding off on a dose increase until we see how this develops.

I was hoping to increase a little more to see if I can get out of depression and into baseline, but I can wait for now.

Had my T appt yesterday and it went really well. She wasnt dissapointed in me and said she is invested in seeing me get well. We talked a bit about my abandonment fears and trust issues and I agreed to doing some emailing in between visits to make more progress.

She sent a question to start it because its hard for me to reach out to anyone and emailing someone with what is going on in my head feels like that. She plans to send questions until I maybe get used to it.

Im pretty sure she is the only person not dissapointed in me right now.

Had the worst parent teachers last night. We were there 40min longer than we were booked for. So frustrating and the kids were tired and acting out because it ended up way past bedtime.

Dont feel like getting out of bed today(930am here) and my arm keeps hurting worse every day but I got a Dr appt for tuesday. Just hoping she doesnt ask about how Im doing on the meds because I like her and would probably tell the truth and I dont want to talk about it.

Saw my T today. I have only one more session with her. I guess ill be given a new T. I had a 50 minute session and sobbed through 95% of it. My sister called last night and woke me up to tell me how bad our dad is- falling and hitting his head, what his life-long alcoholism has done to him, hallucinating He may be trying to detox on his own which he almost died from trying a number of years ago.its a lot more. I just cant think of it now- or dont want to. I am worried he'll die soon. This is mostly why i was crying. I could barely talk through my crying.

I’m sorry about your dad. ((((( Hugs )))))

ECT today.
All the best to everybody.

Sky high anxiety. Won't go away with Klonopin. Going to lie down, infuse lavender essential oil.

Came out of nowhere

Stomach not feeling great either but realized I forgot the Protonix this morning. I forget that stuff all the time.
