Hey, all.
I met with my T yesterday. We talked alot about other job options for me as 12 hours/week isn't earning us enough money. The challenge is not only do I have to be able to take time off every month for ECT treatments, those treatments make it very difficult to learn new things. I have no confidence I can take on a new, full-time job. This has me stressed and a bit down. ... I don't want to go on too long though, so I'll stop there.

I'm feeling so uplifted today. My brother is fighting cancer and he just shared with me a wonderful moment of his battle that has humbled him. He is on vacation this week and his friends got together and offered their time to work on his house. They pressure washed his fence and driveway, cut the grass, trimmed all of their trees and bushes, laid down new mulch and cleaned the whole house. It was a ton of work and they stepped up for him while he is feeling too sick to do it. They are all amazing and I'm truly grateful for their service.

My daughter lost her SSDI. She's in the middle of going back to school and can't handle school and job both, the stress is too much. She also has two kids, one is almost 2 and the other starts first grade in the fall. I feel helpless cause there's nothing I can do to help. Aside from babysitting. She's on the same medicine I'm on, Latuda, worked miracles for both of us. This sucks.

Starting to come out of the deep depression I always get when coming home from a vacation. Experienced moments of levity today and I’m finally moving around. Hallelujah! I had been sleeping 14-16 hours a day and living on a can of soup a day. This was a tough one. Why not just skip vacation you ask? I ask myself that same question every year as well. I get anxiety and panic attacks before and depression after. Doesn’t seem worth it but somehow it is. I need to plan for these things.
Floating in the pool today in the sunshine helped a lot. I still might ask for an AD when I see my NP in a week and a half. Warm wishes and hugs to all. ![]() |

Have had a relatively ****** day so far, feeling very depressive and tired. Perhaps I'll sleep soon. I received some not great news recently so still getting over that.

We go back to Florida at least 3 times a year to see the kids. Every trip stresses me out , just the packing then Living out of a suitcase and just constantly on the go seeing everyone. Then I’m so grateful to get back home but I suffer a bit of depression each time. Go easy on yourself. Floating in a pool sounds wonderful ![]()

Summer has certainly arrived.
My side of the bed is closer to the window , despite blinds and curtains I woke up a bit sweaty. Ugh it just starts off my day like shyt. So I stomped around just angry as hell. Finally got over it mostly. Despite blinds and curtains this is a yearly struggle for me. I have never coped with heat well my entire life. I’ll be back to taking a shower twice a day.

Saw my pdoc today. He explained, as did my T, that my rage is totally justified and healthy. Pushing it all back in is not the way to stay safe, as past psychosis demonstrates.
As I feel I’m on the edge of sanity at times he gave me 25 mg Seroquel to punch out before I kill someone. However, he wants me to only use it when I’m in danger as experiencing the rage can have healing and strengthening properties. Like making me refuse to be controlled, abused or manipulated again. This was encouraging and helpful. He has had PTSD before (ex-military), and runs a PTSD program and it shows. He really gets it. We talked for longer than usual. I guess he was making sure I wasn’t going to go psychotic like I felt I was heading. Otherwise, Bipolar is still calm and silent thankfully. After that I went to the brand new local outdoor pool by the beach. I discovered how swimming with a snorkel is way easier than with goggles alone. I thought I was fit-ish in the water but it seems I have a long way to go. Still, I am very irritable all the time, and the anger needs an outlet as apparently killing a list of people is not appropriate. The urge to self destruct is immense. I have always taken it out on myself. Not now. I won’t let those ****ers win.
