I'm sick with a cold. I'm feeling cold and everything hurts.
I'm drinking water, taking Tylenol and trying to rest although I am working from home. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin, Vraylar My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.

Hi, all. Today I'm pretty much washed out, empty, and at the same time full of potential energy. Energy I can't seem to direct anywhere. Mary seems a bit exasperated with me, but is still supportive and concerned about my hollow behavior. Mixed episodes are pure hell.
Four weeks ago I had a complete meltdown, possibly the worst I've ever had. I'll spare you details, but it came on suddenly, and my pdoc was so concerned she called me and got me in the next day, an unheard of event at the VA. She got me an appointment with a new tdoc the same week, also unheard of. She and she have seen me three times each since then, with more sessions already scheduled for the next few months. I'm just cruising on auto-pilot right now, with fluoxetine/Prozac added to the mix. Had a sleep study last night. Pdoc and I discussed the possibility that I could also be narcoleptic, as if I need a new complication. She asked me a slew of questions then scheduled me for a sleep study. Well, something got mixed up, since I was given a sleep study for sleep apnea. Will be seeing her in 4 days, I guess we'll start over I hope everyone has a calm and enjoyable Halloween, sorry for being so verbose.

I can do understand your deal with traffic and roads closing. When I was in Florida for that 8 months that’s exactly what we had to deal with... honestly it down right scared me. I didn’t want to leave the house. Fir me a lot has to do with where we live not 16 years. There is literally one yellow flashing light between me and my T or Pdoc. I might see 10 cars in my 35 min drive. I honestly can’t imagine going back to traffic hell and horrible people. My heart goes out to you Personally I would still screen the calls..she can leave a message and you can return her call. I do not have a home phone and mainly it was an expense we just couldn’t afford but no one called us that mattered anyway they called my cell. The government truly needs to do more to stop the nonsense. I’m glad they enjoyed talking to your parrot lol ! When my daughter was a toddler I’d just hand the phone to her she talked a mile a minute lol I hope that this downturn your having doesn’t stick around for long. It’s good your aware of it. Maybe a tweak in your Seroquil dose could help. ??? Take good care of yourself and yes stay off the roads until your in a better mind set __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I’m so happy your feeling better Oh I would love the ability to have a ymca and have water exercises, that’s recommended by my rheumatologist, but no such think here. Please enjoy it for me.. I think it is wise you stay active during the winter and not isolate. Hope your pain is tolerable A few dear friends over the years have left PC most I still keep in touch with , a few ? they just faded away , it really is hard to deal with __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Hope everyone is having a better day than me.
I’m in a bit of a funk - don’t know if it’s the beginning of an episode or because of my med screw-up or just a reaction to the situational stuff going on in my life. Probably a mix of all three?? Yesterday I went out for lunch with my sisters and parents for my sister’s birthday. It was hard to go out and I was in tears after they all left but I managed to be ‘normal’ while everyone was around. I must have faked it well - even the sister that works in mental health said I was in the best frame of mind for years. Huh!?? I can’t go out for a walk as the city is shrouded in bushfire smoke. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow is better. I might take a PRN and curl up in front of the TV. __________________ Pookyl ———————————————————————————— BP1, GAD, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Claustrophobia Psych meds: Saphris, Seroquel XR, regular Seroquel.

Well, we had our first two groups of trick or treaters. Way down from last year when it was warmer. I told all the kids to take a handful. The first group was too shy tho. The second was three boys maybe 10, q11 and they did take a handful. cute animals although I think they were going for scary.

Pat yourself on the back for getting out ! That took a lot of effort. It’s always amazing to me how we all can find the strength often to go out and do things for the sake of others. It could be the residual of missing the meds those days or a mood shift, either way you know the skills to help middle your way through and self care. Be kind to yourself. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Zero sleep for me again last night. This is happening far to often lately.
I’m not sure what kinda mood I’m in..... I’m not super happy nor depressed. But I’m just not feeling “ right” I think once I get the ultrasound of my liver and get my results, I’ll do whatever I need too( I’m sure I will have to really change my foods) I do have fingers crossed that I won’t need more testing or a biopsy. I still have appt the 7th with pulmonary specialist to deal with this asthma flare. I’m just tired of feeling like an elephant is on my chest. I have mostly been just enjoying a tv series and then reading. Our temp is dropping down to freezing tonight and my pain level is ridiculous.... accepting that you will always have pain is a tough pill to swallow, just when I think I have come to terms with it a huge flare hits and I’m back to a weepy mess. Meh Hope everyone is enjoying there evening __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I'm sorry the cold gives you pain. It's been kind of invigorating tonight. I've had about 2 hours sleep in the past two nights it just wears me down now where's when I was younger the longer I went without sleep the more wond up I got. I worked full time, went to the u full time and still had a social life back then. I'm sure the lack of sleep is compounding the flare. Bodies need sleep to heal, but the BP mind doesn't cooperate. I hope you get some restful sleep tonight. Just 7 more day So!

I slept all day, just started a new antidepressant so maybe that's why.
