My prestiq is just making my anxiety worse. I take it at 9AM and before then my anxiety is perfectly fine most of the time. After I take it my anxiety is unbearable and I can't leave my house and all my other meds just pass right through me. If I'm correct Pristq isn't a med you can go off cold turkey is it? I mean, I'm only on the lowest dose but this anxiety is killing me right now and I'm starting to become irritated and frustrated because of it and its affecting my entire family.

I submitted a volunteer application at the library, I'm hoping to hear from them. It would be wonderful to volunteer there. The branch I want to volunteer at is very close to me, like a 7 minute walk away from where I live. I love books, reading, organizing, art/crafts, I'm sure there's gotta be something there I can help with. I know sometimes they need help with organizing crafts and stuff for some of their programs for children/teens. And I know they sometimes need help organzing books and whatnot. I put my availability down for mornings for Wednesdays, thursdays, fridays, and saturdays. I would love to actually work there someday and feel like volunteering there would be a good first step
Tomorrow my apartment building is having a Thanksgiving lunch in the community room, so I'm going to that. Should be nice. I've had a strange couple days. Yesterday was rough in terms of mental health. But things seem okay today so I'm hoping it was just adjusting to my med increase. It was quite an increase so it sort of threw me into a daze for a bit. I am going to try to post and reply more here, I've just been sort of scatter brained lately. I hope you all have a peaceful weekend  Here's a pic of Mustachio with her very first glimpse of the Christmas tree, I didn't put it up last year because of how small and curious she was. She's doing great with it though. Also, this week marks 1 year since I got Mustachio. I got her a week before Thanksgiving last year. Maybelle is used to Christmas trees so she sniffed it a bit then ignored it lol. They're both doing well. Here's a pic of Maybelle in one of her Christmas collars

I’ve been mostly lazy today. Went out earlier to tackle the sidewalk and driveway but my back quickly dissuaded me of that idea. Besides it was mostly ice, so I just sprinkled ice melt around. Now have a big patch of clear sidewalk but the driveway is still icy. The snow removal guy never came. Didn’t think 2 inches was worth it.
The pumpkin bread is good it’s taking a lot of effort not to get a second piece. So today I looked at recipes for cranberry bread. Eh, not sure about that.

I'm sorry you're feeling so low @*Beth*. I hope it passes soon.
The pain I am feeling is from the blood clot in my lung - it's part of the healing process. I've been waking up really early - 4am. The only thing that's changed is that I started Gabapentin but I don't see how that would affect my sleep.

Well this pup had me up only twice last night. I have her in a crate. Took her out but she didn’t do a thing and it was like 20 degrees so I was so ready to get back inside lol
She’s a sweet and smart lil girl. Steve’s head over heels in love. If no one is missing her I’m sure she’s found a forever home with us. We shall see. Anyone have plans for Thanksgiving yet? I’m not going through the mess of a full traditional meal. I’m making Eggrolls instead … much easier. Hugs my friends Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
