I'm trying my best to distract myself right now, it's hard but I'm going to keep doing that till hopefully things start improving, I talk to my doctor next week so if things don't get better I'll definitely let them know

 I do think your med needs to just kick in further. You qualifed for your new apartment nothing has changed so maybe that will help you calm your fears a bit? Have you been working on your art today? does keeping busy and using distraction help any ? Stay strong

I haven’t done any art today, I should though. I spent half the day sleeping then the other half kind of staring at the wall, I’ll have to work on getting back into my hobbies because they really do help me maybe I’ll get my sketchpad out now..

Another rough night for my husband
 but hes holding his own and not backsliding thankfully.. Overnight is just a scary time for him as far as his oxygen level dropping, So until that is no longer a problem I will be awake and checking his oxygen level every hour or 2 .. He did again need a Nebulizing treatment. My Daughter has Bipolar and shes had her hair every color under the sun and they all look amazing ! She has wanted to shave all her hair off for about 5 years, Not a Brittany Spears fiasco... Just something she has had on her bucket list.. She today she shaved off all her Blue hair ! and she really looks great! Did it live on Facebook... She said she loves it but will likely scare her self in the mirror many times in the coming days LOL Love to all

bpHope magazine just contacted me a few minutes ago asking me to share thoughts for an upcoming article. I typed up my response, reread it, and deleted it. "They don't care what I think," I thought. ... And that's about it: I'm feeling worthless.
Although I do want to go shopping for art supplies...

@Daonnachd: I think it's exciting that a magazine sought out your opinion! They must hold you in high regard. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling worthless. I certainly know how that feels. Hope you find some relief in your art.

Thank you, all, for the encouragement and affirmation. I went ahead and typed up a new response and sent it in.
I have said before, but it bears repeating: I appreciate you tremendously.

Now my boss and HR are mad at me. Mu boss does not like my forgetfulness. HR is mad because I keep forgetting to clock in. I put in the wrong start time for today. So tomorrow I will need to fix it with an upset HR employee.
I made french style french toast. The french call it something else. The end result is a mildly crusty surface on the bread, and a type of custard in the middle. Very rich. Mega calories. My doctor thinks that I may have early onset Alzheimers. This scares me. I researched canabs for this, snd saw a discourse of a caregiver of a person with dementia. Recent tests provded very promsing results. The caregive noticed a real positive effect on her charge. She said the trick is getting the ratio of THC/CBD correct. I do not want to take Aricept, or anything like it. My next step is to get tested.

Today is my father's 78th birthday. Because of the pandemic, we can't exactly visit him at his assisted living facility, as we would like. I called the facility activities director the other day to make sure they knew it was his birthday, so that they would do something to acknowledge it. Residents are confined to their rooms, mostly, so it's not like they could have a party in the dining area. She said they would bring a cake to his room and sing happy birthday. She said I could also come to the facility and they would let him stand in their lobby (with a mask on) and I could stand outside the building doors and wave to him. Sounds pretty sad, but I decided I would do that. My sister is meeting me there at 10:30 am today. I think I'll make a sign reading "Happy Birthday". I will even leave a card (and some small gift) outside the facility door. They will then wipe it down and give it to my dad after we leave. What an odd current reality!
I went to bed early last night. I had taken an Ativan in the afternoon, which (with my evening meds) really knocked me down. My energy is already ramping up again this morning. If this continues, I may need to take more morning Seroquel XR again. Last edited by Anonymous46341; Apr 21, 2020 at 06:33 AM. |

Well, I just spent a small fortune ($400) on bike related things. However, I bought almost everything from a local bike shop online, so it's good to support the local businesses during these hard times.
The rest of the stuff I bought at REI (because the bike shop did not carry them), so I do not feel guilty about giving a large retailer my money rather than a local business. In general, though, I think it's VERY important for us to support local businesses at this time. Places like Wal-Mart (even though I get my groceries there) will not go out of business, but the little guys can and possibly will. Hoping to get outside soon with my bike!! Thinking about some 6am rides!! |

My boss just sent me a text this morning saying that we're all going back to work tomorrow. My anxiety has gone through the roof. I was already feeling pretty down.

I'm having a calmer day today, less paranoia. I actually got out of bed, took a shower and got dressed. Put my new sheets on my bed. Took the trash out and checked my mail since I didn't yesterday. Some packages of stuff I ordered arrived. Also, my apartment complex awhile back asked everyone what kind of coffee they prefer, regular or decaf, we wrote it down, well today they dropped off in front of everyone's doors a big canister of our preferred coffee, a giant M&M almond chocolate bar and a jar of peanut butter, so that was a nice surprise. They've been very helpful during all of this, they gave out care packages too earlier in the month with food, toiletries, and laundry soap.
My sister dropped off the mask I had her order for me, so now between that one and the one my care manager gave me I have 2 to alternate between and backup if something happens to one. I'm hoping things continue to get better over time, yesterday was really rough. Tomorrow I've really got to get to cleaning. Then in the afternoon I have a phone appointment with my therapist, so that will be nice.

It's been a LONG while since I've checked in here, years in fact. I hope you all are doing as well as possible with the whole Covid-19 situation. It's been kicking my ***, and I've been getting really irritated easily and had to raise and add meds for getting hypomanic. My partner has severe, untreated anxiety and has been taking it out on me, by demanding I fix his problems. We are sheltering-in-place together and working from home 24/7 on top of each other. I know we are really lucky to be able to work from home but it's HARD.
