Oh please don't throw away your beautiful art!! I think you'll regret it one day. In fact, perhaps some painting will help you get out of this...
I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad. I've seen you survive this and you will again, just try and keep that in mind.

Gaby, Fharraige, I want to report partial success. I wasn't going to go down to the basement where most of my stuff is kept, but it's also where I keep my Spanish and Scottish music. Thinking only about the music last night I went down to grab a CD by a Valencian group. (I lived in Valencia for two years.) While there I couldn't help but throw away some of the stuff. Fortunately, a little went a long way. I didn't throw it all out. I actually got distracted trying to recall the name of a portrait I sculpted. After numerous searches related to champions of human rights I found Eleanor Roosevelt. That was the portrait, but I only have a couple fragments of her face now as I took a hammer to it a while back when in a similar state. Anyway, minor success last night with limited damage to the collection.

Still having problems with sleep. I only had maybe three hours last night—this morning. I’m going to stop the Lunesta because it’s not helping. Not doing anything too bad so far. I keep having visions of somebody close dying, like my husband. I mean, it’s more of a possibility with him going sooner because of the MS, but nothing to be obsessed about. My brain has to process all the steps following that, even though it has done so bunch of times already. I seem to be more prepared mentally for everyone’s death but not my own!
Otherwise it’s still quiet. Husband and I are both tired so still taking things easy. I do some sewing but not as much as I like to. I seems I spend more time in preparation than anything. Love, hugs, and all the good stuff to everyone, especially if you’re struggling. |

I'm a nice person but hey ho. I'm itching to talk to people I'm seeking out the guys to talk to. I'm horny as. I'm speed typing as I'm having racing thoughts. No-one in my life knows om manic im very good at hiding it as I've had years of experience lol. I'm getting 4-6 if that hours sleep. Im waking up at 6am have done for the week. Everything is great though I'm so happy considering last week I was in a 4 ish months depression

Got my headlight changed- now I wont be pulled over for a dead light.
Ive been posting on my blog about once a day. Latest post is about bipolar and migraines. (Ive had migraines for years.) Interestingly, bipolar 2 has a greater tendency to have comorbid migraines than bipolar 1. However, it goes the other way too: if you suffer from migraines, you're more likely to suffer from a mood disorder. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Loxapine 50mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day 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) |

@Moose72 , interesting stats in your blog! I'm glad you've been writing there daily. I used to, but have slowed down significantly over the last year.
I, too, wrote a couple blog articles about the links between migraines and bipolar. I wrote them quite a while ago. Migraines are something I suffered with for a period, but they haven't plagued me that much of my life. Since I would have max four migraines per month, sometimes fewer, my then neurologist prescribed "as needed" sumatriptan injections rather than a daily medication, or other. The sumatriptan injections worked great for me. Really great! But I had to get used to self administering them. In the beginning, my husband gave them to me. It only took like 10 to 20 minutes after the injection for a cool feeling to travel to my brain. With that, the migraine suddenly disappeared. In my case, nausea/vomiting was worse than my actual head pain. The nausea disappeared equally quickly. I also experienced "silent migraines" for a period. They were odd and disconcerting. I have not had a major migraine in a few years (knock on wood). I'm not sure why they stopped. |

So tears on both sides, hours of talking, and an ultimatum. He doesn't trust me when he is sleeping. I didn't even do anything. I take Zyprexa tonight and tomorrow. Monday first thing he is calling my pdoc. So after that blow out I go to take a shower and black out. I took the curtain rod down and hit my head on the toilet. It's not that bad but it's going to leave a mark. I guess the water was too hot?

RS is coming back tonight! I really missed him. This is the longest I’ve gone without seeing him since we first started dating. I’m so excited that he will be back.
We should know about whether we are approved for the house we want to rent by Monday. The landlord said the only thing he was worried about was that we’ve only been together for six months and now we’re moving in together. I assured him that we’re very committed to each other but if anything did happen then RS would stay in the house so we wouldn’t break our lease. I don’t foresee anything happening though. I think it will be a tough adjustment as I haven’t lived with a man in four years and he’s never lived with a woman but I think we should be ok. I hope I convinced the landlord of that. They’re still looking for a place for me at work. I’m hoping I’ll still have a job next year. If not I’m in big trouble. But there’s some aides retiring and some that are not following their students from the elementary school so I’m hoping they’ll have something for me. Otherwise all is well. I’m almost finished my first week of master’s classes. I don’t think having two classes is going to be as big a deal as I thought it would be so that’s good. I might change my tune once I get more in depth into the classes but it should be fine. Hugs to all who need them! __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

I had a nice day yesterday with my daughter for my birthday. We planned a few adventures and by the end of the day we dragged ourselves to bed exhausted but what fun! I really needed that.
We went out with the family today to celebrate three birthdays and Mother’s Day formally. I had a good time and the food was good. Tomorrow we’ll go out for ice cream informally. Things are going ok for me in the month of May. It’s a nice change of pace as just last month I got the emotional roller coaster award on my mood log. I hope things continue as they are for awhile. I need the break. Warm wishes and hugs to all. |

Mothers Day today. Seeing my Mum this afternoon. It’s a beautiful day already. Should be a good day.
I went for a swim yesterday. The current was so strong I struggled to get back to shore. Got extra exercise but have to be more careful. While I love fighting the ocean this scared me a bit. PTSD still plaguing me. So far the coping techniques are helping keel me relatively calm. I still feel lost at times, overwhelmed and unable to stop it. Hopefully more T and use of skills will get me back to stable. At least the Bipolar is relatively stable. __________________ Bipolar 1 with psychotic features PTSD "Phew!

I'm struggling with taking my night meds. I don't ever want to go to sleep, I see no reason for it and I'm always afraid I'll die once I fall asleep. I have a lot of things I want to do. I need to stay active, and keep walking since I've gained some weight

Wow! Lots of birthdays. I have mine this weekend, too. I somehow managed to go out with hubby to a restaurant and two other people there also had birthdays. Today was a good day to celebrate since tomorrow is Mother's day in the US. Neither my husband nor I have our mothers anymore, and I am not a mother. Tomorrow we'll stay home and celebrate them.
The restaurant was so-so despite being a French restaurant. I am a very harsh food critic. Very harsh! I generally like all foods, but only well prepared ones. |
