It's only 6:36 right now. I feel like it's 8:36 and time for night meds. Oh well. Been a long day it seems. Tomorrow, pdoc is calling me at 2-something to check on me after I talked with her last Friday. At least she sent in my prescription for Seroquel 300's finally. I don't really know what went down with that except that the left hand was blaming the right hand and vise versa.

I think its actually kind of you to write that letter. I would be nervous about any kind of response. But I am guessing that the letter is going to be helpful emotionally for you regardless of her response or no response.. I hope that she responds and she has found kindness and empathy. I know that the stigma of mental illness is slowly decreasing, I wish it would move faster though. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

One thing to keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat so even if your not seeing the numbers drop it doesn't mean your not losing your just replacing with muscle.. I'd say just see how your clothes are fitting. I can't look at numbers on a scale as that is a trigger, But if my clothes are fitting better / nicer than its a good thing. Oh I wish I had access to a pool. Aqua exercise in so much better for Fibro and PsA.. Enjoy __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

My Pdoc mentally had already left so our last appt which was zoom and honestly I would have preferred I just got a call saying he was gone and I was getting set up with someone else.. But I did , well still do feel abandoned.. 11 years and Poof gone.. I do hope you get some kind of letter from her. But i wouldnt hold my breath as she probably wasnt allowed to have patient info to send a letter even if it was just a form letter of some sort. Its such a shame that she up and left but if something ruptured between her and the boss for her sake it was healthy to leave... Sucks for you and her other patients though. I'm sorry about your Daughter.. Maybe one day a relationship can be reformed __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I am really struggling.
My Fibro is just awful.. yesterday woke up in tears as my hands are just raging pain. Couldnt even hold my phone. As the day progressed I was able to do a small amount of typing.. Its also getting hard to take a deep breath due to the pain in my ribs.. Fibro effects the entire body.. This kind of hand and difficulty breathing due to pain ??? Ugh so not good, it leads me to a very dark place. Steve has been not feeling well since his middle and youngest son left.. He did alot of running around with them, but hes still sleeping 12+ hours a day, Yesterday around 18 hours straight. He said he really doesnt have an specific feelings of illness. He says " he doesnt feel good" So I am on high alert. Sleep ? Meh its not worth complaining about, its just my normal garbage. This heat wave.. temps of 98+ and heat index 109+ is sucking the life out of me. I am going to burst into flames and will soon be just a pile of ash.. Is anyone else dealing with stores just plain being out of some item lately? My just grocery store the other days was sold out of so many meat items and canned goods. which typically has never been an issue. Today at Hellmart I needed to pick up a few items and they were out of both there brand Peanut butter and a cereal we like, No brand or store brand and lots of empty shelves. Even the TP aisle is looking slim.. Are people out buying stuff up in fear of another lock down????? We have our trip to Florida mostly planned out.. We totally forgot that it will be Labor day weekend .. UGH !!!!!!!!!!! The traffic is going to be awful. I really wish we didn't have to go. But Steve will not miss another birthday of his granddaughter. Anyway enough of my complaints, Never helps me to yak about them. It just is what it is... I hope everyone is doing well and hugs to anyone in need __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I'm so sorry the pain is so bad. I wish there was help for it. Our Hellmart is out of lots of stuff too. When we did pickup the other day my mom asked if it is people buying stuff up again and they told her that it's a problem getting stuff from the warehouses to stores because of lack of drivers. Ours is out of really weird stuff, like oatmeal, milk and goldfish crackers. I forget what else we couldn't get but it was pretty random. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Well I feel better knowing that its likely an issue of that lack of drivers and not another case of mass hoarding. Honestly I think my brain will just melt if we have another lock down like before. I don't really see that happening again as our economy is not even close to back to pre covid levels.. Oh the stress!!! Meh ! __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I'm sorry I can't go back and respond to ppl right now. I basically had a complete breakdown yesterday. I lowered my zyprexa so I can lose weight. That was 3 months ago. I've been trying to deal with insurance issues for 4 business days! I was up for 28 hours. I've probably spent 12 hours trying to get it figured out. I couldn't take it anymore and finally took a 5 mgs to try and get more sleep.
Well I saw my therapist today. I was telling him how I was just a bundle of nerves and I absolutely couldn't calm down yesterday. It's a long story but when I was 19 I joined an organization. I was sexually, emotionally, spiritually extremely abused there. I'm not the only one. Anyway in 2011 I had a complete psychotic break. I have no memory for about 10 days. It was over me being abused in this organization and a website that was trying to expose them. I ended up in the hospital and was diagnosed with BP 1 and severe PTSD. Ppl didn't believe me about this abuse that goes on there. I have been dismissed by everyone! Ppl just can't believe that this would go on in this organization. Anyway my therapist believes me and just 2 days ago they hired a new therapist. Well she was telling my therapist how sick this organization is. He wanted to know about it bc I've told him a little about it. I can't believe that just 2 days ago they hired this woman! Today I just couldn't stop crying when he got really calm and said I believe you. It was such a relief! I couldn't stop crying. I'm not going to do trauma work right now. I'm trying to lose weight and I think I will get off track. He said when I'm ready he will do it with me. I'm so completely overwhelmed with my son, my mental illness, my sisters death. Just completely overwhelmed. I am going to see about going on perphenazine. I can't increase the zyprexa again. I absolutely can't lose weight at a higher dose. I just feel like a huge weight has been lifted. It's funny but I didn't really want to work with him bc we have different political views. But hes one of the best therapists I've ever had. I hadn't cried in like 2 years. He even did a grounding exercise to get me back in the present. Tonight I'm going watch titanic, it always makes me cry and have a nutritious meal. I hope everyone is having a good day. |

There use to be a pool at one of the parks not to far away, but it was half water and half chlorine I just couldnt breath but they closed it and put in a " splash pad" there for kids instead. I'm holding out hope that this damn trip is going to be easier altho still a challenge.

My daughter just called. My granddaughter is sick 😷. Hope it’s just something insignificant, she’s 4 and too young for the vaccine. My daughter is a social worker and just got the news today to work from home. My town is one of the worse hot spots in the tri-county region. According to the paper today their were 54 breakthrough deaths state wide. This has me worrying for my mum again. I hate this covid pandemic and all the selfish people who won’t take precautions.

Tiger started on cheaper insulin like 5 months ago. I can't spell the name. But yes he is a very expensive cat, lol. Hes on joint supplements, his diabetic food is 60 dollars, and his insulin. Hes my sons cat so the last thing we need is to lose him. I mean my son is completely bonded with him. I've had tiger spend many days at the vet getting his blood sugar checked every hour. My vet gives me a discount bc he had to do that about 4 times. He has to go back next Wednesday to be monitored all day again. He does seem a lot better tho at this lower dose. Sometimes older cats develop a sensitivity to insulin. So that's why he lowered it. I wish you luck concerning Sidney. I hope things get worked out and you have many more years with him.

I didn't sleep well last night, at the hotel where we're staying. At least I am still looking forward to the day exploring Vienna. Yesterday we first went straight to the Vienna central cemetery for a nice walk. We saw the graves of Beethoven, Brahms, Strauss, and Schubert. I hummed a bit of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".
The area around our hotel is quite nice. Right in the thick of things. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |
