Are you generally dehydrated, perfectly hydrated, or overhydrated? __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |

Perfectly hydrated is my goal. I love water, so I drink plenty when I'm home. When I'm away from home I have a nice water bottle I take with me. The lovely grocery store near my apartment has a whole section of waters. I love trying different ones, especially when the weather is hot.
Q: Are you looking forward to spring or are you okay with winter for a while? __________________ |

I'm looking forward to spring. Winter hasn't been that bad this year but lots of grayness.
Favorite Winter-Time activity? |

Having to keep my windows open only an inch. I want to open my windows wide, feel the air, smell the scent of orange blossoms. Spring!
Q: Same. What winter activity are you glad to stop in the spring? __________________ |

No, my hearing had deteriorated too much to really enjoy music much. I have the same rock station on in the car all year long.

This sounds silly but I'd live at the summer camp where I worked in college. (So really I'd live near there but as close as possible). It's the most beautiful place with mountains and a gorgeous river and it's just my favorite place. If it weren't for bipolar and needing to be near my pdoc (any pdoc would be hard to find there) and some things like that I'd move there when my mom is gone. But it wouldn't be a good idea in reality.

Yes, I moved an 18 hour drive across the US continent (south to north) this past August. Previously, I drove north to south to move south but only lasted 13 months in the south. I enjoy car trips normally but moving a household with cats in the car was very stressful!
Have you used the Calm app or other relaxation/meditative apps to help you fall asleep or just to relax? |

Never tried them. To be fair, I have a couple of mantras and meditation practices that help me, so I've never had the need.

Extra-long. I have long arms and long hands and I like my sleeves to reach the center of my hands. That way I can leave them long (my finger tattoos show well then), or roll them up if I want to.
Q: I like that ? so: Same. How do you prefer the sleeve length of your long sleeved shirts? __________________ |

I like it to hit just below the wrist but I am on the short side so generally my sleeves are halfway or all the way to my knuckles.
How many pills do you take daily (including vitamins, half pills as a pill, etc. anything you take counts). __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

I don't think I understand the question so I'll just throw info at you and hope it covers it.
I take my AM meds at 7:15am every day exactly, my midday meds at 1pm everyday (I try to be exact but I'm not always home but it's always by 2pm), and my night meds anywhere between 6-7pm. Do you ever find stuff you made in the past and thought "wow, I was really good at this." and then you try it again and feel like you lost all your talent? __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |

I was a talented cross-stitcher but I haven't made anything in years so I suppose I've lost my touch.
Question: Do you take a med specifically to help you sleep? |
