Thanks, Lavender!
I just got back from my annual exam at my GP's office. He's always a nice guy! My blood test results were as expected. I still have high cholesterol and my triglycerides and glucose were slightly high, too. Last time my triglycerides and glucose were normal. I need to cut down on those refined sugars again! I asked him about a statin, and he explained why I don't need one at this point. He even ran some special calculation to show me my risk for a heart attack. It was 1.3%. He said my age (not that old), my normal blood pressure, lack of diabetes, the fact that I never smoked, and other factors make my risk low, despite my cholesterol. OK. Of course he did push me to diet and exercise more, as always. He's a really thin guy. I told him that I doubt he ever eats a donut. He said he doesn't. I've been going to him for 22 years. We were both youngsters way back then. It's rather warm today at 51 F. |

I really hope I am able to have the same GP for 22 years. I am glad that you are doing okay minus some high numbers.

Thanks lavender!
Really bored. Got up at 11 went back to bed at 12. Then got up went to the library and picked up mum's meds. The hours just trundle by. I'd not eat if it wasn't for mum. I think winter has lasted too long. Both sad and glad the clocks changed. Glad cause the day last longer, sad cause I lost an hour. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

I have a consultation for surgery on Thursday. My dr wanted me to get in ASAP because my left leg is so weak. He doesn’t want the weakness to become permanent. So I’m probably looking at surgery by the end of March. That scares me yet relieves me at the same time.

I've been struggling today. My son is having back pain problems at work and has been to physio and got a written request for an ergonomic assessment and furniture but his company will not provide either, not even a chair. He says now he is also having pain through the weekend and ibuprofin is not helping. So I suggested he take his two remaining vacation days off to rest his back and also work on his resume and linkedin so he can start applying for other jobs. He's got the same kind of upper back problem that I have had and I feel bad for him that he is in constant pain. I told him to also go for a massage. I feel helpless again. I hope he works on his resume instead of just goofing off. Then he will be back in the position he was in to day except no days off until he accumulates 1.25 days per month.

Tara, glad you're getting some decent medical attention. I hope it all goes well!
I had a better day today. It was healthier. I did a ton of housework. I ate healthier. I did not lay around. I enjoyed being more active. Now i'm listening to a beautiful two-hour compilation of contemporary instrumental music on YouTube. It's my third day on Wellbutrin. I feel cautious hope that it's working. |

That is totally fine; I guess I didn't realize I shared the same name with another username. That is kind of awesome honestly; it's even spelled the same way. Thank you for explaining that to me; I figured you were probably not talking about me; but I just wanted to check. I'm sorry I'm usually pretty good about figuring out things; but honestly today my brain might as well just be mush.

Went to work this morning. Woke up stressing out so I figured work would be better than being alone. I also booked an appt with my gp for thursday. I dont think anyone can help me but i promised i would see her if i wasnt seeing my t which im not and she told me she would get me in if i needed even if there were no openings(she is booked for about a month she isnt in the office until thursday though) Plus i like her a lot so i like to get time to talk to her even if i dont think it will help.
After work stopped and grabbed another bottle since I ran out last night. Got kicked out of chat. Well not technically but the mod told me i csnt be on there drunk. Which im not really but i have been drinking since i got off.work. Feeling pretty bad now. My only "friend" stopped talking to me again after she found out i was drinking again. Not sure if i can deal with this anymore. If people dont like me if i am not doing good then why bother at all. Rather not have anyone i think. __________________ Bipolar 1 Borderline Personality Disorder Alcohol Use Disorder Meds: Depakote Welbutrin Abilify I didn't want any flowers, I only wanted to lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty.

Hello all! Just a check in.
Last night I went to a nice hotel to visit a friend whose youngest daughter was having her 13th birthday party there. They ate, they swam, they ate, they were loud and bouncy. I left around 11:30 and I just woke up at 11 this morning! Wednesday, I have a colonoscopy. I start prepping tomorrow. I have prepped 3 times already and had it cancelled! And I ****ing HATE that prep! I get all low-bloodsuagry and dehydrated with a nasty headache AND the drink itself is disgusting- tastes like poison. Bipolar is still in remission. Im going to push my luck and see if I can get off Seroquel again. I am determined to do liver detox and psych meds are making me sick. My liver needs to recover not get worse. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

So you really do have to eat with Geodon. I started taking it with my meals and the voices have all but stopped and I'm not as scared of everything.

Hi everyone. My anxiety has reached such as a high level that I haven't felt this way for over a year. I am leaving my job and gave my two weeks notice. The work environment is completely toxic and unhealthy and a lot of people are leaving. It is my time to go. I will miss my good friend from there though.
There is another job opportunity where I know someone who works there, but all the red tape to get the job is overwhelming. One past job did not end on good terms. The person made false allegations against me, and I should have took them to court, and HR from this new job requested information from them. So that was a major trigger and brought me back to dark times. Everything feels like a chore, I had a meltdown in front of my mother, who just doesn't know how to be supportive of me, because I am rapid cycling and the anxiety is so high, I see a mixed state coming. She said I probably shouldn't be working and that I belong in the hospital, unless I "get a grip." Everything is just too much. __________________ Bipolar 1 Disorder, Unspecified Anxiety Disorder |
