Paying bills. A poor person's favorite past time. Means stuff doesn't get shut off- except for the 3 time the electricity went out in the past week! The last time was this morning. But just one more bill to pay now.

I'm so sorry to read about your loss, tecomsin! It is good that you were able to work on the obituary together with your sister. I hope in the future that you will see Canada Day not as an anniversary of a loss, but as a day to remember your father and the best times with him.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's good that you had the opportunity to speak to you father and tell him that you love him.

You're not alone - my sister passed away on Canada day too.

I got 4 hours of sleep last night and not much the night before that, was hearing things earlier, hoping to get some rest tonight, really, really hoping. I've worn myself out the past couple days

I am having not much of an appetite today and thinking about all that was lost in the wreckage of my father's life. Where every positive emotion is twinged with pain. His cruelty was soul breaking. But I am still sad that he is gone and glad we we able to reconcile in the little time we had. There is this chapter in my life called "My Parents" that is over now. Dead and gone, but not forgotten.

My new NP, in consultation with my old pdoc, added Vraylar to my combo although I don’t fit any of the criteria listed on the pamphlet. I’m not BPI or mixed or manic. A bit cynical that this will turn out well but I’ll give it a try.

Had a nice float in the pool this morning....perfect weather. While we were floating, my daughter discussed with me that she’d like for me to live in whatever town she ends up in after school. I’m game for a new dream and a new town and humbled and honored that she feels that way.

Best wishes and hugs to all.

Jennifer!!! floating in a pool sounds heavenly. I took my dogs out earlier and I swear I walked into a commercial size oven.

That’s wonderful that your daughter wants you close.

A Warm Hello to All,
Have been very weary. Lots of dental work done yesterday. Lots of calls and paperwork today.

If/when sleeping, having nightmares about odd things, like having someone steal pictures out of my computer, etc. LOL! Wonder where that one came from?

In one dream, many here at PC had sent me various pictures. I was trying to guard them in my sleep. I was VERY upset in the dream and it then ran into waking time, until I could realize it was not true.

Hectic day. Internet service provider tech back again today, just finishing up and checking security. Lots of calls made, etc.

Overall, VERY weary. Fireworks already going off here tonight! Gorgeous sunset!
Much Love to All!

It has been two years since my mother passed. I am having a little trouble with it. Mortality. 15 years, maybe more of my life left. I want to make it to my daughter's 40th birthday. This will mean me that I will need to make my 80th birthdayl I miss my mother. I was numb over this for a year and a half. I thought something was wrong with me.

I had a new tiled floor put in my kitchen. I now need to seal it, and wax floor. I have been depressed for several weeks now. Maybe looking at my antique pistols will be a good diversion?

Got 6 hours of sleep last night, so quite a bit better but for an hour I had horrific restless legs going on from the seroquel, it literally felt like torture and was worse than I've ever experienced it, ended up taking my klonopin getting out of bed and walked around my apartment for awhile then about 45 minutes later I was able to fall asleep. I've had bad restless legs before but I can't even describe how bad it was last night, I was kicking like crazy and then punching my legs trying to get it to stop I was pissed off and almost crying

Saw my T and pdoc. To avoid possibly traumating me we are all working to keep me out of hospital. My pdoc wants me to email him daily with an update. Along with that I’m to take 50-100 mg of Seroquel and 4 mg Lorazepam a day. Hopefully this will short circuit the adrenaline rush after rush. I see them in a week.

This is an awful experience. I’m starting to slip. Hospital will make me feel trapped. Feeling trapped is at the core of my trauma. I want to live but find myself fantasising. I’m gonna break if this doesn’t work.

Dearest Wander, I am so sorry you are going through this. What a horrible experience. I am glad your team is working with you, trying to help.

I hope the med changes/adjustments help and you are able to feel better and stay out of the hospital.

Please keep us updated.
Much Love~

Hi Blue_Bird,
Yikes! No fun!

Are you able to take a different med (other than Seroquel)?
I have had akathisia from an AP med before. Just horrible.
I hope you can do something different in order to get relief.
I hope your pdoc is available to help you out today.
Please keep us posted.
Much Love~

I hope your new meds surprises you and works extremely well.
It's uplifting to know those we love want us to live closer to them.
Happy for you !!!
