MM .. you tend to go the route of taking meds and they are helping to you stopping them and you find yourself in a mess. Yes weight is a issue of course but sometime we just have to look at the much bigger picture. Try not to shoot your self in the foot .. again. Do you think Miguel might feel it’s ok to stop and start psych meds because he has seen you do it so often? Just a thought.
Jennifer my heart just breaks for you. Please do take extra care of yourself during such a horrible time for you and your family. Wild. Oh the cost of travel right now is ridiculous. We simple do not go anywhere unless we have too. I guess you can’t skip it for your nieces sake ?! Can you go and literally make it a 30 min stay then leave? Moose I hope you can get the procedure scheduled soon. One less thing to worry about. Nammu Oh NO ! I hope whatever is wrong is a inexpensive fix. Car trouble is such a huge stress. Beth ?! How are you ? Soupe are you excited for your trip to start ?? Did you see the landlord yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel a bit sick from my phelebotomy procedure. Actually really sick. I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack and I can't eat anything. But I made it to therapy at 3 and it was really productive. I liked that time slot although the anticipatory anxiety was a bit rough. I spent most of the afternoon trying to order a big deal online only flavor of Mountain Dew. Finally after multiple trys I think I got it. But it was a super big headache and I ended up needing to have it shipped to my uncles house since it wouldn't come to my zip code. He said it was fine. He'll bring it over when we're all on vacation in August. I hope nobody in his house thinks its for them. I got my meds packed for my trip and a change of clothes and I just have a few hygiene things to throw in my back pack. I'm a light traveler. But yeah at the moment I'm just trying to calm my heart.

I feel mixed. I slept last night but 8 hours instead of my usual 10-12 (so just fine but atypical for me). No more psychosis stuff but I just don't feel comfortable. It's not at all bad yet and I talk to my pdoc tomorrow. I just know what direction I'm heading in.
I got new glasses yesterday and they are really hard to adjust to for whatever reason. I'm feeling so impatient with them. It's one of the little things. I'll adjust but I feel so impatient with them. I'm worried about money (surgery bills have started coming in and I'm still paying for all the biopsies.). Yesterday I got a "final notice" on a bill I know I never received before as I've carefully kept track of them as there have been so many. That made me stressed. My mom had noisy work at her house and that stressed me out. I'm not typing as well as usual and the corrections irritate me. Etc. Really glad I have pdoc tomorrow. Really dreading the probable need for more clozapine for a few days. A few days has always been enough since I've been on this and I'm not sure I'm so bad she'll make me do the extra yet but I know where ti goes from here if it doesn't improve soon.

I just listened to a CD of mine twice in a row. I pushed play for a 3rd time and hear what sounds like 1600's string music- like a viol. I thought my CD was playing but when I turned up the sound nothing changed. NOW I just pressed play a couple more times and the CD is playing and the other music is gone.

I feel so bad to hear that you're still feeling down. I am concerned that it is the prednisone. I guess that may be a good thing if it wears off. I just hope it doesn't go and trigger an episode. I'm sending you loads of love, Sweetpea  (P.S. Thanks for asking where I was...I finally got here. Way too busy. I think I need a big, fat freakin' break, too, but the Universe doesn't always agree with me on that point  )

HA. No, this is a double whammy. My "delicate little snowflake" therapist (Mary) is the canceller. She's been out for 5 weeks this time, so I've been seeing her colleague, Dr. B. 2 sessions with him. REALLY like him, bonded with him quickly. So at the end of our session yesterday he informed me that he's leaving the clinic in 4 weeks. Why he didn't inform me of that plan the first time I saw him is anybody's guess. And whooooo's the craaaazzzyyyy one???????

@~Christina
We’re definitely not staying long at my nieces party! There might not even be food, just cake. So yeah. My SIL has been trying to have this party since april so we must go! The other problem is my niece has a lot of emotional and behavioral problems. She was adopted when she was five by my SIL and BIL and bo one knows the full extent of what she’s been through. Her mother is an addict, we know that, and apparently she was with an ultra Christian/jehova’s witness family for 2 years before they unceremoniously kicked her out with no reason given. Obviously there’s severe trauma. I don’t blame her for having such problems. It just makes it hard because she is very aggressive while CR is passive so he gets bullied by her and I’m worried she may hit or kick him if he doesn’t do what she wants. She’s so big for her age and he’s small, they’re mismatched in height and strength so she could do real damage if she loses control. She hasn’t yet but she has hit/kicked her parents in front of us so I can’t rule it out.

wfc, I'm with you on the Seroquhell. I called my PA today and asked if he'd prescribe 25mg/night for me. I'm desperate. It's either S or no sleep. I guess I'd go weeks, or a month, without sleeping before I drop dead or something.
I am finally here!!!!   I've been thinking about each of you today and ended up with way too much bureaucracy and chores to deal with.Early this morning this therapist-impaired chickie was sooo frustrated with all of it and what does a smart gal do when she's at the end of her frustration rope and has not enough food in the house...and can only fill her car 1/4 because gas is $6.05/gallon? Welll, this smart gal went shopping on Amazon and bought roller skates !!! Maybe I'm celebrating Johnny's win, we did grow up together, after all (same age, anyway). So my brand new roller skates are mint green with rainbow wheels I am in love! And yes, I also purchased knee pads. My days of scabby knees are over. I figure I'll return to my former skating glory days by turning on some disco with my front windows open and skating up and down the corridor that runs in front of all the apartments. Almost no one is home during the day, except a sweet little old abuela who lives downstairs. SO I can wear my new 30" bell bottom pants with my roller skates. Wheeee!On a more serious note I sent a message to a potential therapist. Haven't heard back. If I don't hear from him tomorrow, I'll call. All right kids, I have work to do with the book business and it is so late. Love all around  and hopes for a gentle tomorrow.

@~Christina I'm sorry I didn't see your post. Miguel is off meds because they don't help with his main symptoms which is psychosis. He's stopped seeing his team because he doesn't want the Dr to know. As far as he knows I've always taken my meds properly.

How absolutely aggravating. Gaaah, I get so tired of people who don't do their jobs. When I worked, I worked for a few cents over minimum wage and busted my azz not only doing the bare requirements, but a lot over that. Will you call again today?
