Well, Fuzzy comes and goes, and sometimes she's somewhere else on the forum. It's unlike Jane to stay away, though. Why do you think it has to do with you? I think if Jane was offended she'd say so - and I know Fuzzy would bring it up. __________________ |

I made it home in the dark from my friend's house. I always worry. I've been over there lots of times but I always have to use the gps in my phone to get back.
I need to do laundry tomorrow. Guess it will be an inside kind of day. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Invega 3 Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

Guys I stayed home stressed out by myself for 4 hours. I took two antianxiety meds that did nothing but I wasn't hiding in bed when they got here.
Mountain dewed I was on Ambien as needed but then it didn't work when I was hypo manic so now I'm on chlorpromazine (thorizine) nightly. Most stable I've been. But I'm only on 3 meds and an injection because I'm not good at taking meds. It took years and a drastic situation to get me on antipsychotic medications. __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog |

Just yesterday, I was also telling my new therapist that I yearn to try part-time work soon. It's scary, though, when on SSDI. I was hoping to start by helping my husband with projects, but he has procrastinated taking any on, since our move. I can imagine you'd be a great asset anywhere you'd work. I think I would be, too. I just want a certain amount of security and tolerance. Despite my complaints about my last employer, I always gave them credit for the latter mentioned. I used to take Geodon, which also required calorie consumption with it. I sometimes fell short of the recommended amounts. I did my best. __________________ 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. |

You sound like a wonderful teacher, wildflowerchild. Your students are very lucky I'm glad your photographer got back to you. I do understand the mad rush towards the end. My husband and I had such rushes right before our wedding. Things almost always work out.

Back in 2019, leading up to Christmas, I posted a series of blog posts containing Czech Christmas cookie recipes and photos. They ended up having an amazing viewership. I mention this because I am already seeing the beginnings of increased viewership this year. It's only just before October! Anyway, I'm thinking of adding a couple new posts on Czech Christmas cuisine. Also, some other types of posts. I've been neglecting blogging for a long time. It would do me good to get back into it a bit.
In a post to WindsThatBlow, I was mentioning that I also wish to dip my feet in the work world again. I need to start thinking more about this. My husband has sort of been a barrier, but I should not allow that. We will be away from home again for a week, the week after next. After that, there's plenty of free time ahead to fill in with new efforts. People here have surely noticed that my moods have been quite stable, for a while. Yes, it's time to take baby steps forward. Now that I have both a psychiatrist and therapist again that I like, I've got good support. __________________ 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. |

I woke up at 3. I don’t feel too anxious. I’ve been listening to music most of the time. But I took my last antibiotic with a birthday cake Mountain Dew so my stomach is a bit on fire right now. I was going to go to Cracker Barrel for lunch. But I wanted to go because they have huckleberry iced tea. But then I remembered I can’t have tea. So I was thinking of Applebee’s which was my original choice. But then I also thought of Texas Roadhouse but they don’t open until 4PM. So idk. Today I need to wash my blankets and then take a shower right before I go to bed. Then wake up at 10 or just stay up until then and eat stuff since I probably can’t eat after midnight.
Besides badly need antacid or a piece of bread I feel ok. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

I'm freaking out. I talked to my T about my ED and she wants me to "go somewhere" for it if my insurance covers it. I don't want to go anywhere. It's really not that bad. I'll do IOP or PHP but I'm definitely not doing IP because that is unnecessary.
I'm not looking up programs. There probably aren't any close to me anyways. Maybe if I wasn't poisoned by treatment providers I'd be in a better position. Maybe this is just a way to cope with the "trauma" of my last episode, and when I heal from that I'll be able to eat like a healthy person. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

My anxiety is super bad. It’s the sleep issue stuff. I woke up at 3. I chugged 3 caffeinated sodas to help me stay awake. Now I’m dealing with the anxiety from it. I’ve taken 2 Valium and a geodon. I’m also super worried I still have a UTI. I’ve finished with my antibiotics but the burning when I sit down is still there. So I’m guessing it could possibly just be my anxiety. I never got a call actually from them confirming I had a UTI. It’s worse when I think about it. Which is why I think it may be anxiety. I mean the whole reason my insurance is approving this is because of the pain I’ve been having.
But now I’m not sure what my plans are since my anxiety sucks. Maybe I’ll just order food for dinner or something. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Anxiety and paranoia is still here. Can't say why or what. They might read this.
I couldn't dry my laundry so now I have to take it to my mom's to dry at some point. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Invega 3 Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

I finally had an appointment with my primary care doctor. He prescribed famotidine for my acid reflux. He said if that doesn't work then we can try omeprazole. He also is going to prescribe xulane birth control patches (which I've been on before) to help regulate my period and help with my severe PMS. They gave me my flu shot while I was there. My psychiatrist said hi to me while I was in the waiting room, she works in the same office as him, along with my therapist as well. It's convenient that they all work in the same place and can share notes with each other. I'm exhausted. I stayed up all night because I was worried I'd sleep through my appointment (it was really early), so I'm looking forward to sleeping tonight! I have a follow-up with him over the phone in 4 weeks to discuss how I'm doing on the meds. Then I have a physical with him scheduled for November 4th. At some point within the next week I need to see my dentist for a cleaning/exam. They only do walk-ins and it's kind of hard to get in because they're always so busy. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist next Thursday over video, I'm looking forward to telling her I'm doing well off the perphenazine.
Tomorrow I'm getting some takeout from the pizza place across the street. I'm getting a slice of pizza, a piece of cheesecake, and a soda. Anyway, I'm tired so I'm going to to go try to relax a bit. I hope everyone is doing well __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

Not feeling good. Bad brain. Bad brain. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I see pdoc tomorrow in person. Her nurse called me twice. Once to check in and once to make sure I haven't been taking the Seroquel that the pharmacist mistakenly put in my packs which I haven't. H now just because haven't wanted to eat since being in the hospital. I had cereal just now just because. What is wrong with me???? Psychosis! It's a b!tch!

I am bored and anxious. Not a good combination.
