Bipolar check in #73

Thank you for saying so!

Glad to hear that you made it to the shower!

I had to google "sand try". Seems interessant!
I hope David's sister will pay for the repairs before nest Winter.

Send good wishes for your haircut on Thursday!

I hope you will feel better soon!

That you are among the persons he asked to do bi-weekly sessions, must mean that he thinks you are one of those who are able to manage!

Don't be afraid. If you will need sessions more often he will probably give you that!

Thank you, Birdie!

I used to cut my own hair and I was pretty good at it, but something happened. It's so weird. I just can't cut it myself anymore. Your hair sounds pretty.

Hello all! Today, I finally feel physically well. I have some congestion left but overall I’m well. Being down for 2.5 weeks has taken a toll on my mental health after all though. I’m behind in everything, I missed visiting with my daughter, fun social events and life in general.

I wish depression didn’t dog everything I do. I’ll work on getting up to speed. It’s hard.

I hope everybody has a peaceful day and evening. Much love

trying to get an appt with a psychiatrist is annoying as hell. no one ever calls you back!

I've dealt with that nonsense for over a year -- I actually have to EMAIL my clinic to ever get a response. It's infuriating for sure.

I am getting tired of having no heat and no air conditioning. It has been at least three years like this. I have always other things to spend my money on, so I have been ignoring this. I may have to get the A/C fixed. It will cost me either $1400, or over $6,000 for a new heat pump, depending on if the first attempt at fixing it works. If I get it fixed, no more $50 electric bills. The heat pump will raise the bill to over $140.

Emotionally, I have been struggling with depression. Yesterday, it was very difficult to shower, dress, and go into work. I started to feel a little better as the day progressed. I do not think the neighbor wants me to visit any longer. I do not know why, but I have an idea, Her foot is hurting allot. Also in the past, she always would tell me what to do in how I managed my life. A little arrogant. So I eventually stopped that from happening, at least for the most part. She was not happy about it. So what?

Today I work. I have been treating myself to the sandwich on daily special at Subway. Subway is a vendor that operates within the store I work for. I get to work an hour in advance to psychologically prepare for work. That is when I have my sub. My law firm called me, but I missed the call. So I have been periodically calling them, for my phone does not ring when a call comes in. This is true for most callers for some reason.

I feel light headed since stopping Effexor. I weaned off it the last 2 months but I don’t feel great. Stomach is also playing up. Still going in to work because I had 2 days off last week. I just feel blah. Like my mood took a dive to 3/10. Trying to come out of it. Trying!

I was up early this morning (trying to better my routines). I have gone for a walk in sunny weather with a little wind. It did me good, but it also made me tired. So it will take some time to build me up again.

I hope you'll feel amazingly better on the higher dose @BeyondtheRainbow. I expect you will.

Slamming down rain. It doesn't stop. I have to do laundry and I'm going to get wet, I am sooo tired of this weather!

I’m feeling bugs. Crawling bugs.
But my mood is good

This morning was the last dose of the Presidone. Thank god. It was getting to be too much. I went out around 9 and got a lot of groceries early this morning. I am beyond constipated and I've taken so much OTC stuff and I've had tons of water and coffee and no luck. And I didn't sleep the greatest again but I'm hoping everything goes away once the Presidone is out of my system. Mood and anxiety wise I was kinda off and on crabby but I'd consider it more "crankypated" cranky due to being constipated. My anxiety was pretty much fine today. Overall today was decent.

When do you go to the ER for severe stomach pain due to constipation? I just now took tylenol. I know I'll feel totally fine if I can just go. So I'm just trying to wait it out.

I PM'ed @MuddyBoots. Nothing. I feel very sad about Boots and wfc. I just hope they are both getting good treatment.

I’m thinking they are both ip. I do hope their experience is a good one that’s helpful. Sending out heartfelt purple vibes for both of them.

My mood is fine.
I’m not where near depressed or manic. I feel content with little anxiety. But I’m
Feeling bugs crawling on me and I’ve also been seeing glitter at times.

I already had a follow up with my pdoc for tomorrow. He’s new so I’m
Scared to be honest.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking, too. Boots was afraid of being sent back to the state hospital, so if she's IP hopefully it's in a better hospital.

constipation is cruel.
glycerin suppositories are helpful if you have the urge to go and can't get things rolling. Phillipes milk of magnesia works, magnesium citrate is very good at cleaning you out if you can find it.
sorry you are suffering.

The sun came out and it’s made me feel a bit better. My feet are sore from standing all day at work though.

-4 degrees Celsius here right now (24 degrees Fahrenheit). I'm REALLY looking forward to some warmer weather and longer days.
