The Serpent and the Rainbow. Terrified me for weeks if not months.
Q. Does your mood influence the music you listen to or does the music you pick influence your mood? (I think this makes sense ?!) —I guess can you independently choose a selection of music totally independent of mood. Oh boy what s rambling question! |

I have 1 playlist of many, many songs (so many I don't have time to organize them)
my thought is usually: okay, I want some music on, let's see what my playlist comes up with and I let it run sometimes (if I am in a particuarly good mood) I'll play all the latin songs (actually go out my way to find them, latin is my good mood music) but usually it's what's playing gets played. what is one peace of music that you feel everyone needs to hear at least once in their lifetime? |

That’s a super hard question.....music speaks to people in so many ways. As of this absolute instant I’d say “Thoughts and Prayers” by grandson (In particular the version on YouTube live with the west Los Angeles children’s choir)
I think my answer depends on what day it is...there’s just too many ... Q if youre really depressed what’s your go to song or band, same ques if your (hypo)manic? |

I handwrite every day in my journal. My handwriting is decent. I only use cursive when I write cards or checks.

how long after you wake up in the morning do you truly feel " ready to take on the day". do you lay in bed for a while first? |

I feel ready within 3-5 mins usually. Only when I'm REALLY exhausted do I lay in bed for a while.

Q: how long after you wake up in the morning do you truly feel " ready to take on the day". do you lay in bed for a while first?
A: I linger in bed after I'm fully awake for about half and hour or so. I don't like being in bed so long because when I'm up and just laying there I tend to ruminate and get intrusive thoughts, and I hate when that happens so early in the AM. I get up and start my day as fast as I can to start to distract myself even if I don't feel totally rested. Q: Do you have any family members that still do not fully understand or sympathize with your Dx? __________________ "Do or Do Not.

Q: What medication have you tried that didn't work out, but you really wish it did?
A: Seroquel. It helps so many, but it made me gain waaay too much weight (over 40 lbs). In the beginning it helped my sleep, but eventually it stopped being effective. my PDoc took me off of it. Q: How many hours of sleep do you need to really be able to function the next day? __________________ "Do or Do Not.

I'm not sure, exactly. I'll admit that I have always sought out coupons from the manufacturer, when possible, but sometimes there weren't any or they were still expensive with the coupon. I know that the pharmacist told me recently that Latuda costs about $1,000 for a 30-day supply, but I use a coupon for that and have so-called good insurance in the US. I have been paying $15 per 30-day supply. That's obviously not $1,000.
I actually took Lamictal and Abilify at a time when they were only available in brand name. I think the Lamictal was super expensive and didn't have coupons, so that copay was quite high. The Abilify was super expensive, but I recall having a coupon. I think I still spent a lot on it, despite. I also took Seroquel XR for a long while before it went generic. With a coupon I paid $15 per 30-day supply, but I could only use the coupon for one dosage. Most of the time I've had to take two different dosages to add up to a certain daily amount. The second one I couldn't use the coupon for, and that was $75 per 30-days supply. Who knows what the full costs of these suckers all were if no insurance was permitted. I also remember taking Campral (and alcohol craving reduction med) and Provigil (modafinil) briefly before they went generic. Both were very expensive. I recall at one point being on mostly all brand names and paying monthly copays that exceeded $300. Back then I could afford it. Now I couldn't. Luckily now all of my medications, except Latuda (for which I have a coupon) are generics. Altogether, I probably pay under $100 per month in copays. Q: Which side effect from medications did/do you hate most? |

Lithium toxicity was pretty awful. Also that horrible syrup-head from SSRIs , where it felt like my brain is made of a ball of syrup and it was glooping against the sides of my skull.
What were some unexpected positive effects of any med you've tried? |

Risperdal and Invega's elevated prolactin levels increased my bust size from a B to C cup. Some medications have made me more of an early riser, at times. Particularly Geodon. Q: Have you seen any famous or notable people in real life beyond at a concert, or the like? |

I saw Sarah McLaughin in concert when I was in college.
In grad school I got bonus points and free food and swag to see this unknown but exciting speaker on women's heart health. A few years later my mom had Oprah on and Dr. Oz was doing a section. I said "wait, I heard him speak!" and so apparently I heard Dr. Oz speak before he was famous and when they had to bribe people to see him. I still have something from the swag bag, not because I wanted it to remember him, just because I happen to have kept it accidentallyi. What did you think you wanted to be when you grew up and is that what worked out for you? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.
