I guess either your new kitty is Top Cat, or the others are trying to reject him? Either way, I'm sure they'll warm up to each other. I bet they're jealous of the new dude.

They're just freaked out that there's another living thing in the house, they do the same when a new person comes over or someone stops by with their dog. I'm sure they'll warm up to each other too. New kitty is very shy.

Yeah, if you act normal with the cats they'll accept the new one really soon.

My doctor recently recommended Latuda because it doesn’t interfere with other drugs and I am shocked at the cost. I’m thinking about trying Wellbutrin again despite the side effects.

So my friend C. is back in the hospital. When she was in a few days ago, a doctor prescribed blood pressure pills and told her that drinking while on them is dangerous. Well, she drank while on them and her blood pressure skyrocketed. I feel sorry for her daughter, who is trying really hard to help her mother and get her into a support system (see a therapist, for example). I feel this is a turning point. Either C. admits to herself that she's an alcoholic or she keeps doing what she's doing. Today, I have been mentally preparing myself in case I hear that she's died. I feel like she's determined to.

The price of Latuda is ridiculous. There are programs that will help you out, though. I know Latuda helps some people, but it was a waste for me and I haven't heard that many people say they like it. So many people do like Wellbutrin, though. What were your side-effects?

I think it made me throw up.

Yikes. Well, your body might tolerate it better a second time around. I find that with many meds.

After over 227 phone calls and numerous attempts at the website I finally got mom an appointment for her vaccine for the 7th. Yay!!! I may be fed up with her but I’m still looking out for her.

I’m at this DreamBuilders Live event this weekend where we envision and create a life we would love. Part of me believes my modest vision could happen and the other part of me is yea right! I’m going to see where a positive mindset, a paradigm shift and brave thinking gets me. What’s the worst that can happen? My life improves? Hhmmm....

I hope everyone is having a peaceful weekend.

Yay on the appointment! DreamBuilders sounds cool. I've not heard of it before.

I had to confiscate my daughter’s keys a week ago and I’m heartbroken . I’m in a deep depression. I’m back in therapy, not back on medication. My doctor thinks I can handle it without medication but is willing to prescribe.

Im hopelessly behind, Sorry Guys.

My daughter has been exposed to Covid over and over this month due to work. Well she woke up with a bad headache, sore throat and cough this morning. She went for a test, she knows she has Covid but results in 2 days. I am stressed like crazy she's 750 miles away. Her Father is 30 mins away so I know he will get her anything she needs.

I'm still not doing well, Its just Bipolar doing its thing. I have appt with my Pdoc the 3rd... So eventually things will improve.

Hope everyone is doing well or doing there best.

Be kind to yourselves

I wrote another poem. Check out my thread here for links to yesterday's and todays. I could use suggestions for the one I wrote today: Now Canst Thou Hear Especially the last stanza. I don't think it "fits".

Except for sitting out in the warm Winter sun in the afternoon and meeting my neighbor's new little dachshund puppy who was too shy to pat it's been another piece of $h!t day.

I took Latuda for a while and saved a lot of money by using the Latuda company coupon. You might want to look into that to see if you can utilize it.

I'm so sorry to read that your daughter likely has covid. Is she low risk (generally healthy, otherwise)? I hope she gets past it soon.

That's good that you have the pdoc appointments coming up. I imagine your daughter's illness is making your moods worse. Sending hugs for you both

That was a strong thing to do.


It's good that you have the support from the therapist again and that an option for medication is there.
