I’m having a really rough day. I don’t know why. Maybe I can straighten it out in therapy tomorrow. I feel bad because I’m not up to cooking and mom is not feeling well.

I feel awful right now. My pain is bad and I took a couple gummy melatonin and they made me sick to my stomach and anxious and then I took a Xanax to deal with the anxiety and that just made things worse. I barely slept last night and I don’t think I’ll sleep much tonight either. All I need is for COVID to hit and then I’d be completely wiped out.

I'm heading towards my limit. Truly. I told Hubby that he's got to take some stuff off my hands. I feel like I'm doing 75 to 80% of the work and fighting against all kinds of pressure, including Hubby's unwillingness to get his arse moving and get rid of his extreme excess of crap.
My sister really did love the flower arrangement I had sent to her. That made me very glad. |

I stopped taking seroquel but now I've started it again the last two weeks, so I hope that doesn't impede any further weight loss!

Tomorrow, I have some calls to make and then at 3 p.m. I'm getting the call from the bipolar study people as I had to cancel last week. It should take 2 hours! (I'd better keep my phone plugged in!) I hope they mail me the check. I used to get a piece of paper that says to pay me when I went in instead of on the phone. So I'd go to the hospital and get the cash, when I'd go in person. Sorry this got so long! I'm just typing a lot today.

 I hope you feel better! Do you still have some of your script left? If your pain is that bad, I'd think it would be okay to take.

Hubby wanted to test drive a particular car today. [He wants to ship one to Europe.] The only one he found available was an hour and a half drive away. When we got there, a young salesman said it wasn't available. I confess that I slightly lost it and he received quite a rant from me. [I won't describe what all I said, but Hubby later said that the guy looked scared.] After that, suddenly the car WAS available. Long story shortened, we decided against it after test driving it. The salesman was obviously disappointed, but "Oh, well!"
I talk to my nephrologist tomorrow. I really want a medication for my blood pressure since it is way too high. As high or higher than my husband's was when he was prescribed one. I even bought the blood pressure monitor that doctor pushed me to buy (never told Hubby because he didn't want me to). Now we have three. This new "better one" shows the highest readings yet. I would also like something for my cholesterol. If something doesn't assist, I will likely soon croak from a heart attack or stroke. The frustrations are getting to me. Fury starts to set in.

@Soupe du jour I take blood pressure meds because its been very high since I went toxic on lithium. That's strange about the salesman said the car wasn't available- what kind of car was it? My home blood pressure cuff that I paid $80 always reads high! I don't know if I just always have high bp, but I take meds for it and I guess I'll find out on November 9th when I have my annual with my primary.

Hubby was interested in a 2021 Toyota Rav4 Prime (plug-in hybrid). Gas is over $5 per gallon (1.55 Euros per liter) in most of Europe, so we need a fuel efficient car. It was nice, but a bit big for my taste. Probably perfect-sized or small for many Americans. Such a big car isn't ideal for some Czech narrow streets, but Brno's streets tend to be wider than Prague's. We only want one car. If we need a second set of wheels, I will use my bike or maybe buy an E-bike, and put a basket on the back. Public transportation is also pretty good there.

@Soup du jour I hope the dr will find my blood pressure normal finally! Yes, I went toxic on lithium- I had about 30 people in my small ER room, with people overflowing into the hallway! My blood pressure was extremely high and alarm bells were going off and my arms were shaking a TON way up high! That car sounds nice!

My EKG came back without the scary reason we were afraid of. I do still have a couple things my pdoc wants my family doctor to check out but that's fine.
I have made up my mind that I'm going to see my therapist in 2 weeks. I'll not be allowed around my mom or nieces for 2 weeks after that but I need my therapist at this point. "Mark", my family member who is dying, is dying. I don't know how fast now but I think faster than we expect. I need my therapist to help me get through. I do not want to wind up IP after he dies because I can't handle it when I might have handled it if only I'd worked on it before. Therapy went better than it has in months. I finally realized that I have to tell him when I'm crying when we're on the phone. Crying was good; I haven't cried in months. We didn't discuss something we deeply disagree with. And I was finally easy to tell him I'm so sorry he has to deal with this with me 10 months after his own dad died. Next week we're going to try video again. I feel so relieved about everything.

I asked my sister for help with some of the outside stuff. The hose is just too heavy for me. We are expecting snow tomorrow so the outside stuff needs doing now. Mum got mad at me for asking but I can’t do it. My sister and bil work as a team and get stuff done quickly. I sent her a sincere thank you text and she sent back a nice anytime, no problem text.
I left the state 20 years ago not getting along with any of my family. Time and therapy helped greatly. Of course when I came back a couple of years ago I was stable and that helps a lot. My sister really appreciates what I do for mum and since I’ve been home mums only been in the hospital once. And I appreciate and am grateful for this second chance to be with family. It was really hard being alone for all those years. From somebody that was committed twice and was homeless for years I can say it does get better!

I'm so mad at my Superintendent! Every year he installs my air conditioner cover for free. This year he wants $50! Greed is so ugly! It's not like i don't appreciate his help. At Christmas i give him $20. But $50 for ten minutes work is outrageous! I can't ask my dad because he is dead. I can't ask my brother because he

Moose, right on about the weight loss! That's great! I'm also happy for you about the housing. Must be a big relief!
Nammu, glad you are back with your family! I have a big family and don't know what I would do without them. Whatever, sorry the superintendent wont do the ac thing for you. That's crummy. Yeah being a single woman can be hard Well I had a 6 hour long panic attack last night! It was on the severe side for about two hours. It was so scary. My son and I went and got e-juice and groceries. Hes continuing to do good. But it was his turn to clean out the litter boxes and he wouldn't do it. He hasn't cleaned them out in about 3 months. He needs to help bc it kills my back. Overall a good day tho. |

Been feeling a bit down. Think I may have shifted into some mild depression. Probably triggered by stress and the shift in weather. Ugh. Feel kind of crappy about myself and hopeless about my situation.
