Doing much better today. I had a friend stay up and talk to me until 4am this morning. It hasn’t changed one thing about my painful situation but my paradigm. It has shifted. I feel lighter, freer and happy for the first time in a long while. Good friends are solid gold. My friend would be an excellent psychologist as wise as he is.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 90 minute hot stone massage yesterday. I liked it so much I may start doing that more often. I’ve had a painful shoulder situation for about a month now and it helped tremendously. I got the fun glasses I ordered in and love them. Wasn’t sure initially that they would work but am pleased. They are emerald green like my eyes with a cat eye shape. About to go to lunch at a Greek restaurant with friends and then run errands. I don’t prefer Greek except for the blackened salmon plate but am excited to see my friends and visit. I have an appointment with my NP this week to get back on Lithium. Why suffer when I don’t have to? I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Much love

@Soupe du jour - I’m so sorry about your dad passing away
you’re in my thoughts!Today I have to go buy a new vacuum cleaner for my new house. Ours is years old and doesn’t do such a great job anymore. I’ve seen these ones advertised at Big W and the reviews say they’re as good as Dyson but a fraction of the cost! I also need to buy a new bin for the kitchen. All these little expenses add up when you move. Cleaners are coming to our old place today. Paying a fortune to get it done but standard is high when you move and they do a final inspection. Need to cancel electricity at our old place starting tomorrow. I’m on track for unpacking. I have the basics unpacked. There’s still a lot more to unpack of course but we’ve got enough out boxes to get by for now which is good. Loving having a bath and dishwasher in my new place. Haven’t had one for 6 years in our old rental. |

Just had my pdoc appointment. He’s amazed I’m doing so well despite all the stress. Kept saying I could contact him for anything. He’ll contact the pharmacy and tell them brand name only for latuda. Given my history this is truly a miracle drug and he thinks it’s great that my insurance is insisting on brand name only as that will keep it stable. See him again in 3 months.

Met my new pdoc, he’s good enough. Not amazing but friendly and didn’t make me feel bad about anything. I’m not sure I trust him because I said SSRI’s make me manic and he decided to put me on a low dose of lexapro anyway. He thinks because I’m on so much anti-manic medication right now it shouldn’t be an issue. He said try the 5mg of lexapro and then come back in two weeks. In two weeks I will be doubling my propranolol dose as per his instructions.
So we’ll see how this goes. I’m nervous, I don’t want to go manic but maybe he’s right about the mood stabilizers keeping me in check. I won’t know unless I try. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head. But why on earth should that mean that it is not real? -Albus Dumbledore That’s life.

My day was pretty rushed and quick. I woke up late (about 15minutes beofre I had a telehealth appointment) and had therapy and saw my psychiatrist back to back. Made lunch, picked up meds, and just relaxing at home. I am starting some trauma work in therapy and have IOP 3 days a week 3 hours a day, it's a lot of therapy but it's helping I think. I'm hopeful this week. Maybe I'll add a bit more later.

My mortgage rate is really low right now. I renewed when the rate was low. I have medical insurance through work so that'll continue for now. For healthcare we have provincial coverage so all medical is covered.

I got a few things done today, so i feel just barely worthy. Lots of lying around lately, tho. One of our news anchors made a big booboo. He went to say "JUNK drawer" and instead he said "DRUNK drawer"! A telling slip of the tongue?!
@Nammu: Great that your doctor is supporting you with your med of choice! @wildflowerchild25: I share your concern as anti-depressants make me (hypo)manic too. You have an appointment in two weeks tho, so the short time frame should help to detect any upswings before they get out-of-control. |

Sorry I don't understand this. What does Freud have to do with stoicism? And Freud has long been discredited in the field of Psychology. His theories are now considered pseudoscience. I have a bachelor degree in Psychology. |

May be you misunderstood my use of the words "practical ways"? With that I meant more focus on what we can do to cope with MI instead of using years with a Freudian therapist. As far as I understood your description of stoicism, it has some similarities to my own experience with CBT. Then I gave some examples from modern CBT. (CBT isn't always about finding "thinking errors", but about finding ways to think about a situation that is useful and helps one to move forward). It was so I understood your "presentation" of stoicism, as a philosophy that helped you to move forward in your life. __________________ There is always hope ... |
