I think that July 2020 things were doing quite well in Central Europe, covid-wise. Only with the Delta variant did things worsen for a while, again. Right now, there are very few covid cases in my neck of the woods. I just looked and there are 553 new cases in Austria. Only 183 new cases in Czech Republic.While New Jersey, on the other hand, has 1,169. I won't even quote the numbers in Florida and other states in that region. The differences? Strict mask requirements, smaller population densities, and generally good vaccination rates, though the latter could still improve. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg * Seroquel IR (quetiapine IR) 50 mg * Lyrica (pregabalin) 100 mg |

I am feeling depressed today, not really any reason behind it. I had a bit of a tumultuous weekend but only in my mind. Trouble with a trigger I didn’t see coming, and then RS was just not himself on Saturday. Very up and down and he didn’t know why he felt so upset. I of course blamed myself but I did some fact checking to calm myself. He went fishing on Sunday as was in a good mood again when he came back.
I’m having bad body image problems lately. I don’t even like putting on my gym clothes because the shorts are so tight. So I haven’t gone to the gym in a week which isn’t good for my self esteem either so yeah it’s a whole cycle. I’ve been so tired from this damn seroquel. It’s exactly the same as it was five years ago. I struggle waking up and feel out of it until about noonish. I’m worried about going back to work. But I have no alternative to this med. it’s legit the ONLY one that works right now. I can’t start tinkering again now with the new school year starting in three weeks. I guess I’m just frustrated overall. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head. But why on earth should that mean that it is not real? -Albus Dumbledore That’s life.

Wfc, I hear you about the Seroquel. My pdoc just doubled my dose and today I didn't wake up until almost 1! This won't do! I still haven't gotten my new script for it but I have a few days of leftover Seroquel from when I was in the hospital that adds up to 300.

I made a dumb decision to take all my night meds, including 180 mil of Geodon, and 20 mil of melatonin in the middle of the afternoon. My anxiety was really bad. So now I’m trying to stay awake even though I’m really struggling with keeping my eyes open

What time is it where you are? Maybe you can just go to sleep early?

Welp, no meds today. Plus, I got my paperwork for section 8 days ago when I was in the hospital and I opened it and totally FORGOT that it needs signed and faxed back! So I email the lady in charge telling her that I was in the hospital when the paperwork arrived and that I was faxing it in today and she says "No worries. Feel better!" I guess it helps to have a relationship with your section 8 case worker! I was so worried because the paperwork says "No later than X".

Both of my meds list severe stomach pain as a rare side effect. I know I'm taking a chance stopping my meds but the pain was so bad and I would rather not have to go through that again. I lived with that pain for 2 years and want to leave it in the past. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Latuda, Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin, Vraylar My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I am sorry for our ups and downs with bipolar. It sounds like suffering to me.
I run mostly high rather than low. Although, I think I fail to recognize the depression. I am fortunate in that regards. I guess. Hugs to those who need them.
