My mom said when I'm ready for another dog she'll help. So I'm going to try and save $75/month towards the dog and next litter I will get one (2.5 years from now) But that's while paying the debts I recently wracked up. My goal is to save the pet fee, vet fee, and training fees before getting the service dog. H doesn't want us to have 2 dogs at the same time. He's a bit upset my mom said she'd pay for it. I didn't even ask. I just told her I told the breeder that I'm going to wait until next litter. And she asked how much it was so I told her.

Yes you need to keep on a quest for finding the right meds and more so doses of them maybe you don’t need 50mg of X while on 100 of Y ….out of ever speciality of medicine psych is the hardest to find a good balance. I use to take 200mg of Seroquel XR for over a year and it did nothing for my sleep really. Last IP my pdoc there said “ nope I want you on 50mg Seroquel IR and see how it goes ! Well I finally was able to get consistent sleep. So its micro changing medications that I think where fine tuning can make a bigger difference than we could think of. I would think if you are open and honest with your T about wanting and needing to find a good combo of meds she will have no problem working with you on learning coping and life skills because medications will only go so far. We gotta get up daily and do all the hard work we don’t want to. But by doing all that stuff we can find a rhythm and feel like we matter and our accomplishments are worthy of celebrating.

Mm, do you feel there's a self-destructiveness to not wanting to take meds and instead, to fly too close to the sun? And if you do feel the self-destructiveness do you feel it, at least in part, because you're angry about some things?
I'm asking because when I feel anger towards certain people (my t for example) I feel like doing self-destructive things (such as taking too many pills). I want to let that person know in a major way that they have caused me emotional pain. __________________ |

I think it's often a sign I'm going up or going down.

Well, then that is definitely treatable with medication. Your work in therapy seems to be, at least in part, how to accept that you will benefit from meds.

So my husband brought up raising puppies to pass the cgcu test. It would be an investment. But our returns will be better and it's something we can do. We'd have to start off slow. 1 dog at a time.

I'm not sure I'm hyper focused on this dog idea. I'm calmer but flat. T wants me to talk to my Dr. my concerns is I don't sleep w/o the thorazine. It looks like my CP is getting worse. I know I should be grateful that I'm not in a wheelchair yet but it angers me and to know it will continue to get worse especially after moving to a colder climate bothers me.
