I had to go to DMV to renew my driver's license, which expired during covid when the government offices were closed. I was there for 2 hours and 10 minutes, the bureaucracy in this state has gotten way, soooooo out of control. Plus, it cost me $40 to renew. Five years ago it was $25. I was so completely overwhelmed that I was talking out loud, swearing, and praying. I knew I was talking. I was so afraid they'd call the cops or that they'd throw me out. But I could not stop, and I was crying because I was so frustrated with having to use their screwy computers to fill out the same information, over and over. They took and image of my thumb SEVEN times! Like, WTF?!?! I have been driving in this state for 41 years, never had any moving violation. Nothing. Never. Only parking tickets here and there.

Tomorrow I will be taking London to the vet. Nothing causes me to be more anxious.

I'm having problems with time because every clock says something different. I can't figure out what's going on.

I'm thinking of taking extra Seroquel, 1 extra Klonopin, and hope the Luvox has some stabilizing effect. You guys, I am so tired.

I think an extra seroquel might be an excellent idea. But I’m concerned about you taking an AD in a mixed state. They can be very activating.

Ooo only 2 hours at DMV! That the express lane! In Texas it was an all day thing. You were lucky to get out in 4 hours.

Good luck with London tomorrow.

Anyway, I saw Mary today and she turned the light way down after I explained to her that I was extremely angry about the mask thing. I kind-of threw my little piece of paper with my temperature on it at her to show her that I had done the protocol of getting my temperature taken WITH my mask on. I was furious about the whole thing. She said I could take my mask off and that it was okay to be angry, she would not try to take that from me.

Have another interview tomorrow! This job is completely in my wheelhouse. It utilizes my skill set and knowledge base that I built for nearly five years!! The minus? It's (maybe) a 30 hour week. I'm still pulling for the online specialty warehouse job, but this could be doable, depending on how they structure hours. I live a ways out, so if they insist on the 30 hour work week, I'd rather stay for fewer days for 8 hours rather than a full work week for 4-6 hours.

Optimism, optimism!

@Aurelius710, I hope you get the job you want. It's been great how many interviews you've been to.

@*Beth*, I sure hope your mood stabilizes with the new/extra medication. I think many see mentally unstable people now and then in public, and unless they look dangerous, they just go about their business. Especially women as they are almost never the cause of any public tragedy.

Ugh. I don't know if its still the pristiq or what. I went into my room yesterday afternoon to avoid the news. I had my pillow with the arms and then my 3 pillows behind it. I asked my mom to text me when they were done talking about monkey pox and Ukraine. I had barely eaten all day depsite telling my therapist I would. I had about 900 calories. But the next thing I knew it was 11:15 I had fallen asleep with the pillow with the arms and everything. I told my mom I didn't know what happened. She asked if I was feeling ok. I said I thought I was. I don't think I'm getting sick. Anyways I then fell asleep for another 5 hours and I feel headachy but not anxious or too hungry even though I need to eat something.

It's an extremely good opportunity given the price and location. An extremely good location with wonderful potential.

Good luck!

Part of me wants to just apply all over and take the first offer. But I have decided to wait and see how helpful they are. I’m struggling with how to explain away 12 years of not working.

This heat…. I know I’m a broken record but I’m legit struggling. I’ve never handled heat well …as a child living in Florida I lost track of how many times I would pass out from the heat each summer. These damn meds are making it horrible. I am sitting under a fan and I have a very powerful fan blowing on me and I’m still half sick From this heat. I’m constantly sweaty unless I’m standing in a cold shower. This heat wave has to STOP !

Cool hugs all around

Good luck with Voc Rehab.

I hear you on the heat. I only go out early morning and late evening unless I have to. It is miserable with this humidity.

I don’t know if it’s swimming laps (which I really enjoy but hadn’t been doing) or that I’m making it a priority to get to the pool every day no matter what but I feel really good. I believe I am evolving to the next level in my life. Wonderful.

I’ve not felt like socializing much except for the neighbor I’m dating. I’m still going to movies, out to eat with family, etc. but for now I’ve stopped the drum circles, bible study, out with friends, etc. At this time I just don’t want to. I’m more internally focused.

I got interested in QiGong and am going to start taking classes. It’s already made a huge difference for me.

Hugs to all that need them.

@Jennifer 1967 sounds lovely

MuddyBoots · Jul 28, 2022 at 09:58 AM

Took my drug test now I'm at my mom's place. The drive was scary. I'm wayyy yto tired. I tried laying down in bed but that lasted two minutes before I had to get up and do something.

Nammu · Jul 28, 2022 at 10:27 AM

@Muddy Boots I hate that wired feeling that comes from being over tired but can’t sleep. Hope tonight in the calmer environment you can get some good sleep.
