We're waiting to set off for home. I had typed up something earlier and thought I submitted, but maybe it didn't go through. Or maybe it was removed. It was a rough story. Doesn't matter either way. I protected my people. Birds.

Dude I am out of my mind today. My clinician said there was no point in processing bc I can barely string two thoughts together she’s totally right lol. I cleaned the bathroom by hand, no mop. We’re up at 9pm watching a movie which I know doesn’t sound crazy lol but I’m usually in bed relaxing haha.
I think I’m enjoying myself too much. I only drove to and from program again but I had to go on the highway bc I left late and I was gonna be late. But I didn’t run anyone off the road by accident. I have to go to a bridal shower tomorrow. I am kinda glad I’m manic bc if I wasn’t I would be super uncomfortable but now I think I’m gonna be glad to be there. At least to have something to do. I took a 2 mile walk around the neighborhood yesterday but I didn’t get to walk today bc I had to sign my son up for camp and that took way longer than I thought. I wanted to go shopping but I didn’t go to a physical store but I did order two bracelets off of Etsy. Been ordering too much stuff. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

I can't type without too many mistakes yet nad I am not handling that well. I just want to be able to communicate somehow.Recovery from this surgery is harder than most other surgeries I've had. The pain is minimal but the rest is hard. And I've not made too many mistakes so I'm stopping here.
Anyone ever had a sore throat from anesthesia that would not stop? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1600 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 2 mg clonazepam., 75 mg Seroquel and 12.5 mg PRNx2 daily |

Rainbow, I’ve had surgery 5 times but never had a sore throat last.

I'm counting the hours until I see my therapist on Tuesday. In fact, I'm going to leave a message & ask the (dear) receptionist to put me in if there are any cancellations on Monday. About 3 years into therapy...I thought I could easily go to to 2 - or even 1 - session per month, down from two sessions a week. Ha, foolish me.
The whole mess with that damn med provider has set off all sorts of psychological problems. David was here, but he left kind-of early and anyway I don't talk much with him about this stuff. I don't know what I'd do without this forum, this board, this wonderful group. Sleep is an effed-up mess, I have nothing else to take. All the stuff I have, none of it is working anymore and anyway, I'm out of ZzzQuil and melatonin. The various AP's don't even help me sleep unless I take a dose that's high enough to ruin my thinking for the next day, all day (and of course, I'll finally wake up 2 hours before bedtime  ). I guess I'll take Tylenol PM tonight, I doubt it'll do much, if anything, but I just don't know what else to do.My mind is so screwed up at this time that I'm even doing mindfulness and CBT, haha. Definitely working with my breathing. I hear on the radio Whoopeee! It's the week-end! - and all I can think is Oh, God. "Week-end" means totally on my own. How am I supposed to make it through to the other side of the week-end? Okay. Gotta stop thinking so much. I can turn a baseball game on tomorrow afternoon, baseball can be calming, centering. I'm in a group for people who own cats with diabetes and it's a terrific group in many ways, loads of information that vets don't even begin to get into. But there's a very, very, very rigid system of belief on what to feed a diabetic cat. And for the most part, I agree with the feeding guidelines. But what I've noticed tends to happen is that you get a large group of middle/upper middle class women and a few men, all these obviously well-off people who can afford things like automatic feeders that work on a microchip the cat wears on its collar. So if someone has more than 1 cat, no other cat gets into the food of the cat who "owns" a specific feeder. Stuff like that. Well, I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and own 5 cats. In the best ways I can possibly arrange, the apartment is set up to be nice specifically for the cats. But they are all rescues, various backgrounds, ages and dietary needs, and of course, Sidney has diabetes. One woman in the group ragged on me for feeding my cats both kibble and wet food, because she (and all the others that stay in the group because they're all alike) believe that you are harming your diabetic cat if you feed it dry food. I understand about the protein/carbs importance, so I do feed Sid a lot of wet food. But I have to leave kibble out at night or they will all keep me awake and a couple of them, if they can't "graze" they'll actually throw up from having an empty stomach. Anyway, I felt like shyte when that woman posted to me about the food. God, I love Sidney with my life. I'm doing the best I can. I'm so sorry for her that she has an owner with mental illness who can't risk losing any more sleep than she already is losing. I felt like I was just coming apart when I read what that woman posted to me. I'm hurting so much already, and so scared. Oh, wow. I have got to calm myself down. I'm upset because I have to buy sandals this week, spend money on sandals, when I would rather buy boots- no, I'd mostly like to go barefoot, altogether, which is what I feel best doing. Well, good-night everybody. Stay golden. Loads of love, all around

Beth, I understand about the feeding cats thing. I had 2 cats who were supposed to be on wildly different diets and the support groups for both acted like i was killing each of them by not using the recommenced food. I spent literally hours in the pet store finding meds that suited both of their needs plus my own refusal to feed them grains and that I could afford. I eventually had a bunch of foods I knew were safe fore both but even then they were worried I'd left a kidney failure cat fee feed dry food. The truth was that she was 21 and had no teeth so only the other cat ate the dry stuff. Even my vet didn't think I could find a diet to suit both of them and suggested supervised eating in different rooms. It was obviously someone who didn't live in a small one bedroom apartment.
I'm fixing errors are possible but please forgive any I miss. Typing and proofing is tedious and that's why I'm not posting much. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.
