Ahh hun I am so sorry life is just so damn hard right now I’m sorry you’re not getting the support nightly that you really could use and that sucks but you are indeed managing. As for a shower , this has been a issue in the past , staying in for hours and religious delusions... maybe just a really good wash up sponge bath way ??? Maybe was your hair in the sink ?? Just keep up as much self care as possible I’m around if you need an ear or shoulder __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Life long insomnia here as you know. I use to just worry and fret when I had poor sleep or no sleep , I would get obsessed over it. Well one day with my T I was ranting and raving about no sleep for 4-5 days. I suddenly stopped talking. According to my T I sat there for almost 5 mins lost in thought.. I said ... I’m done, I honestly don’t care if I sleep or not. Eventually my body will override my mind and I will sleep. Well that was a turning point with my relationship to sleep. Sure I’d like to sleep great nightly but it’s just not something I do The only time I really need to sit up and pay attention is if I go 4-5 days of no sleep or single digits or hours, otherwise I just ride the wave. Sometime when we stop bashing our heads into a brick wall sleep just will happen Hope you find a solution __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Sounds like a great plan for your doggie.... even though you weren’t always consistent with walking your dog , how will you stay motivated to not just stay at home and maybe get mentally stuck, I mean you won’t have that furry face to remind you that you did really have to get up and do at least the minimum ? Do you have a schedule of activities that will keep you motivated ? And consistently getting out of the house ?? __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I have seen different people almost totally lose their executive functioning, etc., due to something they find stressful, emotionally taxing, upsetting. The differences have been huge! Before and after major stress. It's quite possible a neuropsychologist might be very helpful in understanding what's going on for you I hope your appt is helpful! __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

I had to take my cat to the emergency vet today. He was peeing around the house but producing no urine. He was walking funny and just generally acting weird. I didn’t want him to suffer all weekend. And thank god I didn’t! He has a urinary blockage, and if I had let it go on another 24hrs, he would have died. He has to stay in the hospital for a couple of days while they pass a catheter to hopefully unblock him, and they will monitor him until he passes urine on his own. He should be home on Monday. I had to apply for care credit to pay for it ($2700! : eek: ) but he’s only 3 years old and I love him dearly. So I’ll just have another credit card to pay off. Oh well.
Not much going on otherwise. Crappy weather here today, snow and rain. Only an inch or so of snow though so that’s not bad. Tomorrow I’m going wheeling agAin with RS and then we are helping my grandma take down her Christmas tree. My MIL wanted to have dinner but I didn’t want to drive 45 minutes. Monday me and my son have off. We probably won’t do much, I have a lot of chores around the house to get done. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

Thank you so much! I ended up getting off the couch and taking that shower...a normal one. And...I did some laundry, scrubbed the bottom and all of the shelves in the refrigerator (it’s needed to be done for a while), cleaned all of my kitchen appliances, and straightened up the house. I still didn’t feel wonderful but I just told myself that I wasn’t going to just lay there in my own filth doing nothing another day. My husband is still awake but I’m already dying tonight. I hope I actually get some sleep tonight. That is the only way I’ll have some normalcy. I added melatonin to my cocktail. We’ll see if that helps. __________________ ***** Every finger in the room is pointing at me I want to spit in their faces then I get afraid of what that could bring I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a desert in my mouth Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now Tori Amos ~ Crucify Dx: Schizoaffective Disorder |

I’m so sorry about your cat! Poor thing...that’s awful! Sorry it’s so expensive too! That’s sounds ridiculous. I hope you and your son enjoy your day off! My husband, kids and I are all off and we’re talking about going to a local Forrest where they have these hand carved wooden giants that are supposed to be beautiful! We haven’t made up our mind yet though because it’s supposed to be freezing cold so we’ll really have to bundle and I’m not so sure how fun that will be. __________________ ***** Every finger in the room is pointing at me I want to spit in their faces then I get afraid of what that could bring I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a desert in my mouth Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now Tori Amos ~ Crucify Dx: Schizoaffective Disorder |

To get reduce stress we don't live together and meet up when we are both up to it. This works pretty well, and we do have fun - which is why I stay. However, I can feel him slowly dragging me down as at times he can be the most selfish, un-grateful, and even mean, person. He has personality issues along with Bipolar and ADHD. I can handle his metal illnesses; it's his personality flaws that crush me. He has been the love of my life. We have a very intense bond. It is going to be difficult working out what to do. There is no rush. I am not giving more than I am able or willing to give, and I don't put up with poor treatment either. It's stressful though. __________________ Bipolar 1 with psychotic features PTSD "Phew! For a minute there I lost myself." 'Karma Police' by Radiohead |

This is sad but I think you did all you could to save the marriage, least no regrets. It’s good you have been able to still enjoy each other’s company at times. You do have to focus on your own mental health and if he’s making matters worse you defiantly need to take a huge step away __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

The past week was much better than the week before. Thanks for checking. I don't know how my friends here at PC could be more supportive. You already humour me. That's best when I'm feeling worthless like the last couple of days. Fun and entertainment? I've actually been cleaning out my hobby room and either giving away or throwing away my stuff in preparation for moving to a smaller house. It makes me sad, but I don't know what else to do with it. I haven't got the energy to try to sell it. .... and right now I need to take the dog out for a walk. __________________ >< |
