Bipolar check-in #71

HALLIEBETH87 · Dec 01, 2022 at 08:16 PM

Today was a day of rushing and still not getting everything done.

*Beth* · Dec 01, 2022 at 08:36 PM

Oh, I'm also going to buy Prince Harry's book ("Spare") as a birthday present for myself. I'm interested in reading his story.

HALLIEBETH87 · Dec 01, 2022 at 08:56 PM

Is it a autobiography of sorts?

We went to a Christmas party today. It was a catered event at Church with a comedic speaker. We have several events coming up.

I’ve been scarce here as I’m trying to dig out from under. I’ll meet up with my daughter this weekend. Lots to look forward to in December. Many blessings and miracles.

I’m in a new relationship but I’m holding this one close to the vest. I’m very happy.

I hope everyone has a peaceful evening. Much love

Hubby booked our flights to the US for the holidays, plus a side trip. Things were getting booked up already. We'll stay at a friend's house while we're in NJ rather than with my brother. I'm not sure if my brother will be relieved or the opposite. I'm just happy that there was an excuse for Hubby to join me. I think visiting home alone would have been more than I could handle. I probably will spend some alone time with my fam members. Hubby can visit other friends, at times.

Today is my ENT appointment. I was supposed to also see my gynecologist but had to cancel that for a reason. Not ideal. My error, but it is what it is. One can only do so much. I'll try to see him before the holidays, if possible.

Oh ugh. I woke up way early. Then Sir joined me and I remembered that I hadn’t filled his food before going to bed,…then I realized I’d forgotten to take the garbage out last night! I sure hope I got it out in time! They go early. So we’ll see.

Ye "Kanye West" is an incredibly disturbed mentally unstable individual.

HALLIEBETH87 · Dec 02, 2022 at 09:53 AM

He does seem to be kind of manicy

Stressful day yesterday. Definitely a triggering one!

On a purely sales related metric, yesterday was excellent! However,

Possible trigger:

I ended up being the "first responder" to a medical crisis at work yesterday. A woman, with her toddler, was feeling faint and seeing spots asked for some help. In the time it took me to get someone informed, she collapsed. I immediately threw protocol out the window, stole a walkie and got people in power and people with training at this store over. I also called 911. I had CPR and First Aid training, but enough people were there and around her that I just stayed with the 911 operator, answering questions as she asked. She was drifting in and out of consciousness, turning blue, all while her child wailed in the background. High drama that I would rather not revisit. I was a razor's edge away from performing CPR myself (at 911's request) when the paramedics showed up in the nick of time. I stepped away, disconnected and let them do their work.

When I returned home, I discovered someone had stolen my mailbox, specifically the one bought for me after the neighbor hit my current one. I just never got around to actually replacing it. I have a suspicion that the same neighbor took it back. If he'd have asked, I'd have been happy to give it back to him. He didn't have to steal it.

Hopefully, today will be quieter.

Sorry haven't posted much lately, I tend to spend more time in the Schizophrenia forum since I technically have schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. But I still like to pop in here now and then to see my friends here

My sister came over on Sunday, we went grocery shopping together, it was nice to spend some time together

I ordered the cats a scratching post (pictured below) from Chewy, hope they like it and stop clawing my furniture and doors (not my picture, just a picture from the website)

The other picture is of the Christmas tree they put up in my apartment building lobby, I think it looks so nice

Have a busy month ahead of me, lots of appointments, meetings and activities in the building, and then Christmas

Hope you all have a peaceful weekend

Sir sounds like a cool cat! Mustachio always wakes me up early if I don't remember to refill their food bowl before bed lol Maybelle is more the patient sit and stare me down kind of cat until I get up

Blue_Bird · Dec 02, 2022 at 11:55 AM

I went grocery shopping today and as soon as I put my groceries on the counter Maybelle hopped up and started snuggling with the sweet potatoes

Nammu · Dec 02, 2022 at 01:15 PM

@bluebird haha, to her snuggles with a sweet potato!!

Those are very nice looking scratching posts. Very nice. I’ll need to check them out as Sirs post is very, very well used and should be replaced.

The tree is very nice. You live in a nice complex.

I did get the garbage out early enough! Thank goodness I made it.

I feel fine anxiety wise. I slept decently last night and I've somewhat eaten today but what I have eaten its been with my meds. So they are working today. I'm just worn out and tired. I did my weightlifting just fine today and I'm not achy from it. I just have really low energy which I think may be from the increase in Prestiq. I had to get my monthly blood work out for my blood doctor and it took me a few hours to get up the energy to go. It was crowded and it hurt for some reason. It never hurts to get my blood drawn and I've had plenty of water. So idk. The receptionist knows me and knows what I'm there for and the phelebotmoist knows me too and I was talking to her about the hoodie I was wearing. Yeah not really good when they know you that well.... anyways I'm guessing the low energy and fatigue is just a side effect from the prestiq because I do feel better overall mental health wise.

Yes, it is. You can pre-purchase it on Amazon for about $23 and it releases on January 10th.

That Christmas tree is so pretty @Blue_Birdand how funny! I bought the cactus for my cats last spring and then we had it all summer. I finally tossed it (sadly) in October because it was scratched to pieces. It was so cute! They loved that thing and it made me happy to look at it My living room is themed green, more or less, so the cactus fit right in. I hope you and the kits enjoy yours
