Bipolar Questions #7

It is “Toxic” to my ears

What’s your favorite poem if you have one?

Good question! I don't really have a favourite poem. One I read just now which I had not read for a long time is The Tiger by William Blake.

Did you have a favourite clapping game when a child? Or if not, favourite (other) game?

I'm pretty sure that I'd be laughing on the floor now (if I could get on the floor!)

can't think of a britney pun sadly. ugg

oops, I failed again

their was a farmer, had a dog, and bingo was his name-o, leaving out 1 letter with every verse
that was fun

what do you like to have on your toast

Peanut butter and raspberry preserves. Then I guess just butter.

Is there a particular food (not beverage) that you tend to eat very frequently? If so, what is it?

Salmon

Favourite dessert/pudding?

Peach cobbler

How long has it been since you had a med change?

Any sort? It was about two weeks ago that I had a second blood pressure medication added. Maybe a couple of months ago my Seroquel XR dose was increased slightly. Around that time I also had my first blood pressure and statin (for cholesterol) med added.

Have you ever been on a medication that didn't give you side effects (or very minimal)?

I wish, but no.

how often do you forget to take your meds, or take them earlier/ later than you need to

All the time!!!! Guilty as charged

Question;

Favourite activity to do, to make you feel all relaxed?

my favorite activity is skiing. I suppose I usually feel relaxed on the drive home.

Favorite dinosaur?

I guess the big brontosaurus. Huge, but sweet-looking herbivore.

What animal do you find to be most humorous in spirit or behavior?

Bears

have you ever collected teddy bears, or any other stuffed animal (or any other collection you can share about)

I used to collect Pokemon stuff, which included plushies of them. The cards, the games, other merchandise. As far as stuffed animals go I want to get some plush kitties eventually

What's your favorite dessert?

none.

I never do desert, like ever

if I want something more it's either a snack or seconds of what I had

ever feel that this life is just a simulation? (like you are being prepared for the real thing)

I do sometimes, but its not something that comes up often. I moreso feel like this life is really just death. Like I died weeks/months/years ago and this is the afterlife and I just didn’t notice or forgot about the transition.

Do you do any “hippie stuff” to help with psych issues like essential oils or meditation or herbs that supposedly help?

I do the usual stuff most of us do - I don't smoke or drink or use any drugs, I keep my caffeine to the minimum, keep a sleep schedule, exercise but not excessively, maintain my daily routines - but no, I'm not into the woo stuff at all.

Do you mind cloudy, grey days, or do they cause your mood to dip?

I'm ok as long as the grey days don't go on for too long. If they do I need my light box.

Have you ever been hospitalized for a holiday?

sure- christmas once.
what's the nicest thing you have eaten in a hospital?. (not sure about america but hospital food here sucks!)

A dinner roll (bread). Hospital food here is awfully disgusting.



Are you a fan of any sport?

Not really

favourite spirit animal?

horse.

have you got any christmas cards yet?

Yes, but just two. My sister sent me a special one labeled to "Sister and Brother-in-Law" and an old friend sent me the usual type that has photos of her and her family. Unfortunately, I have had to throw them away. With the move coming up, it's not like I can continue to display them anywhere. Most others probably just won't send us any this year, for obvious reasons. Also, my husband and I are not the most reliable Christmas card senders, so many don't send to us, either.

How close to being done with your holiday shopping are you?

Done and all wrapped cards all written and sent out. This whole week and next its just the food/drink shopping to be done.... guess the joys of being manic huh

Question: What is the gift you always wanted but never got? (Childhood or adulthood)

a real/true/ loyal friend. someone who accepts me for who I am, not just see what they want to see

and a mom who loves me
what's on the dinner table for christmas lunch?
