Finished old job last night. Picked up last check today (fast, huh?! ) So I'm totally done with it. Will start new one this coming week.

Didn't get out of bed till 1:30. Took a shower though and got out for one errand. Trying to motivate, but it's like I don't know what to do with myself.

Just could not sleep last night just kept reading , finally fell asleep about noon and got up at 6pm lol

I can cook and clean anytime day or night so my being a night owl is no big deal. I worked night shift for years.

I’m still doing well off my psych meds , the physical meds I have dropped? I guess Lyrica does help my pain in a small way , but really not that much ..... haven’t decided if I want to go back on it or not right now. The muscle relaxer apparently has no effect so I’ll stay off that one.

My husband finished modifying the deck. All that’s left is a good pressure wash then paint and stain. This week is supposed to be all dry , I’m excited to see it finished.

Does anyone here use Ibotta ? I started using it about 6 months ago and just with my normal items shopping I have saved up about 125.00 , we requested our money to be put on restaurant gift cards. So will be a nice treat to be able to go out a numerous times. It’s very simple to use just download the app.

Hugs to all

I know right. It happens to me every time. It makes me think I must be the only person in my area that is on it.

I've had a terrible night. Things are OK now but I'm trying not to slip back into the place I was in.

You are in my thoughts and prayers Brentus. Sending big hugs and supportive vibes your way.

Came home and promptly fell asleep for 11 hours. Missed the rehearsal dinner. I am really enjoying feeling so rested though that I don’t have to take Ritalin to wake me up.

We got half way home and they called and asked why we took the double sized bedspreads. You can’t make this stuff up. This is a timeshare that we’ve owned for many years and they know us. Still...I can’t prove I didn’t take them and may end up paying some exorbitant rate for two bedspreads. The king sized was not taken.

Really miffed and glad I’ll have a day to process before going back down Sunday to discuss this with them.

Home safely and well rested.

Warm wishes and hugs to all.

Feeling pretty lonely and isolated these days. My friends have ditched me and I feel it's all my own fault. Other than family I have no-one and that's ok but sometimes you need friends. I feel I'm alone on here too. Maybe I will delete my account don't think anyone would miss me I'm laying low on here anyways.

Praying for you Brentus

I have really been clocking the ZZZs lately! I'm definitely not depressed, though. In fact, when awake I have been feeling very well. I've urged my psychiatrist to keep lowering my Seroquel XR, which is going well, and yet I have regularly slept less on higher doses, in the past. I told him that I think my increased activity is just tiring me out by the end of the days. It is nice to be more and more active, while stable, and not just because of mania.

I started a diet for myself and hubby the day before yesterday. It's going very well so far. I hope it continues to do so.

Wishing everyone a pleasant weekend and relief from any pain or stress.

I slept a HUGE number of hours yesterday. This morning, I popped up with the sun at 6:30 and came to Starbucks. I wish I could pop up without sleeping most of the previous day away. I used to, as a kid- I loved popping right up on a Sunny morning.

Welcome!

Thanks guys, I'm feeling really sad tonight but making it all for my family. I'm starting to feel like life would be better without me being here. I'm not suicidal... maybe a little. But I can't talk to people about it. I hurt myself the other day. I really feel the urge to hurt now but I'm not alone my family are around I stay at my parents house at the weekend. I'm scared if I'm honest

[Victoria'smom]

Miss Laura- can you call your dr/t Monday?

I'm seeing my community worker on Wednesday. It might just be a blip. I hope it's a blip. I would talk to my friends but they have ignored me for well over a week now if not longer. I'm in bed just praying to sleep to be honest

[Victoria'smom]

you have friend's here.

I’m still laying low. Resting my hip and doing the exercises my Physio gave me. It still hurts a lot when I wake but seems better during the day. In a few days I can start short walks which will be great.

Also waiting for my endoscopy which is on Tuesday. I’m anxious for the results. Interesting how my body falls apart as my mental health improves.

On that note I have reduced my Lamotrogine 100mg over the last few weeks. I see my pdoc on Wednesday and hope he will let me continue reducing it as it has messed up my vision in some areas. It’s related to only when I wear glasses and only at very short distance ... and only sometimes. I can’t work any job like this, and I need to work. I’m broke.

I see so many suffering on this forum. My heart goes out to you all. Thinking of you and sending comfort.

Saw the Elton John movie with a friend tonight. Was good. Got up at 630 without an alarm and its now 1130 pm. Maybe Ill sleep.

Watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2 tonight on TV. Good movie. I should see more marvel movies, great excapest stuff. I took the day off, kinda, did 2 loads of clothes and watched TV without my hearing aids......the sound of silence is so relaxing. Sounds and noise get on my nerves it's nice to have a day off from noise.

I’ve managed to have a holiday (sit on a beach in the sunshine in Fiji) without getting manic for the first time in ages. It makes me feel less nervous about future holidays.
On a different note I’ve not had any alcohol for 2-3 yrs and boy do I miss it.
