Thank you for telling us what's going on @cashart10.
1 mg Xanax and Propanalol aren't much. You're on stronger meds, right?

Also @cashart10- I understand the problem of not being able to go IP because of work. People can say all they want, but real is real. But do you know there's 988 now? You can call, chat online, or text. Just google 988 and all the options pop right up.

I do like gratefulness but the understated kind not the gushy Pollyanna kind, the quiet contemplation. I can understand the fear of having something taken from you if you appreciate it too much. That’s a fear I used to have.

Starting Sunday the temperature will be 100 degrees, over 100 all week - including the hottest day of the year so far, which will be Tuesday, at 106 degrees. I have my new patient appointment that day with a new GP. Fortunately, the drive isn't very far. Although that's not entirely fortunate because the car a/c doesn't have a chance to kick in.
106 degrees   My life 24/7:

A few years ago when I was still in Texas there was a streak of over 100 degree days that went on for months. I holed up in my apartment and canceled most of my appointments because my car wasn’t working and there was no shelter at the bus stops. I never acclimated to the Texas heat. Mind you, I’m not a fan of the 40 below zero weather either but it never last for months. Oh Beth, that heat! I truly sympathize.

Yes...a heat wave. Thrills. Texas heat is vile and vicious because it stays right through the night. There's absolutely no break. You know what gets me? The medical people tell you to be extremely cautious about overheating when you're on psych meds. Then they give you appointments on days that are over 100 degrees. I mean, what gives? I would cancel my Tuesday appointment, but then they'll get all pissy and not reschedule me for a month. __________________ Last edited by *Beth*; Aug 13, 2022 at 02:08 AM.. |

Okay, wow, I really hate when I see the title of a post and open it, thinking that I'll offer help to the person then I see something like I just read on this board. I really, really did not need to see that. Does the person truly want help or is the person a sociopath? Or a troll?

Beth, I sent you a PM but I agree totally. I thought I'd help too and instead I'm triggered. I'm going to have trouble sleeping after that awful post and it doesn't belong here at all.

I know, I so hear you. I can't get the images out of my mind, either. I'm sorry we both saw that thing. Maybe every time you "see" a bad image surround it with white light, healing, soft light, and allow the image to be a bless-ed one, all healthy and alive with goodness. No more bad image.

Today should be quiet. Thank goodness! A couple hours of online work for the new employers, some house cleaning and that's it. If no one in my immediate orbit bugs me, which might or might not happen, it will be a good day!

Hey! I slept! It might only be a blip but I slept a good 6-7 hours! It was going on 4am the last time I saw the clock then Sir was there at 11am asking me for breakfast. I wake up a couple of times but had excellent dreams. Beth you’d like my first dream.
There was a sculpture way up high and people revered it as gods work. But myself and two others were determined to repaint it. Lots of close ups of mixing paint and getting the colors just right and in the end we got people to understand that this was human work. The colors were amazing. My second dream wasn’t so pleasant. I was an agent, fbi or something and had to arrest a van full of kids, 8, 9 and 10 year olds that shot up a shopping center. Just for kicks. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

I didn't sleep good last night. So today hasn't been good as a result. My mom doesn't get meds and overheating. By the time I convinced her to turn the air on I had already taken an extra melatonin. It was 7:30 and I woke up at 1:30 since extra melatonin craps out on you early. I listened to music and watched some Youtube videos then I finally got a book finished. I drank a can of coffee which was a mistake. After my mom got up I went to Sonic and got some popcorn chicken and a pretzel twist. I had been living mostly off tic tacs Slim Fasts and apple sauces for the past 3 days. Not that the rest of the day was much better. Then I tried reading a new book but I got tired from the Prestiq so I went to lie down for a bit then I decided I needed a Mountain Dew and and I'm still lethargic. This whole mess could have been avoided if the air had been turned on at 4:30 instead of 7:30 last night.

They are putting our dog down while I'm typing this. He had horrible arthritis and his legs will no longer hold him. We're leaving for vacation (with my nieces) in the morning to make it worse. I mean this had to happen vacation or not but that doesn't make it easier. I'm going to miss him so much.
