I took sleep meds at 2:30 this afternoon because I was really anxious and I fell asleep until 7. I am still anxious and my stomach hurts. I'm hoping this is still just the Wellbutrin stuff getting out of my system. My stomach might hurt because I ate some mini Ritz crackers for lunch and I thought they had matcha filling in them but they actually had mustard cheese. Yeah I'm kind of at a loss though right now.
I just put on my old glasses and wow did that make a diifference. I found out my insurance covers my eye doctor for free. And $400 worth of glasses. So I'll try to get the clearest frame possible and then maybe a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses. I feel like I should go to the ER but then I'm also like you're ok its probably not a big deal.

I am feeling better with cough. Am going to do some work that is overdue. Will play the Romeo and Juliet ballet as background music as I work. Thanks for reminding me of this ballet!

It's 5:30 AM. I slept 2 hours and have been up since 12:20. I've had 3 doses of gabapentin. I may be slightly calmer but definitely not sleepy. This is the 3rd time this week. It just sucks.
I see my pdoc Monday. I know she's going to tell me to take 100 mg of Seroquel on these bad nights. I don't want to because I'm fighting hard to lose weight and don't need another drug working against me and because it will make me sleep so much on the days I take it. I also don't want to get into a cycle where I depend on Seroquel. I'm already afraid that's happening because it has had such a clear and dramatic effect as a mood stabilizer even on just 50 mg. I do not understand this.If I were having a mixed episode I would but I don't feel manic and the depression is mild now and improving except for this sleep thing and at least half the time, sometimes more, that's not bad. It's just very bad when it is bad. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1600 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 2 mg clonazepam., 75 mg Seroquel and 12.5 mg PRNx2 daily |

@BeyondtheRainbow
I completely understand your sleep struggles. I've been up since 2AM. I don't even bother with my prn seroquel anymore because it does nothing and melatonin is like taking a sugar pill. Equally worthless. I hope your sleeping struggles resolve on their own and you don't have to resort to increased seroquel.

Feelin' a little odd today. However, I am still working towards getting myself "back together". I messaged my old therapist about getting back into therapy. She's willing to see me again, and even offered me a spot in IOP if I wanna go that route again too. I might do it. I'm a little anxious about my doctor's visits next week. I see my pdoc just to check in on my med restarting, and my PCP to try to get migraine meds and GERD meds. (It's a new PCP, so I dunno how she'll feel about it. I mean, I know it's a simple thing but some are picky about specific drugs they want to use. We'll see)

Last night was rough but I finally got to sleep at 12:30. I woke up at 6:57. I've been wearing my old glasses all day and I haven't had any issues with nausea or headaches or dizziness or anything. I actually feel pretty good tbh. My anxiety has been fine too I think the Wellbutrin is out of my system and the lamictal is starting to do stuff.

@Mountaindewed
I understand how hard it is to relax when you're anxious as ****. Have you tried making a list of things to do, to try to keep your mind occupied? When I went off clozaril I had a really bad anxiety episode and my husband suggested I make a list of things to do throughout the day to try to help my anxiety and keep my mind occupied. It didn't really work but I did it anyway. It could help you though. Anxiety is a *****.

I was hallucinating and kinda freaking out before bed and woke up screaming from a nightmare and then talked in my sleep sporadically during the night so I’m sure everyone at the shelter fking loves me right now lol 🙃
Idk what I’ll do today. I’m sick of just hanging out at the library. Yesterday though I saw someone arrest one of my friends that got kicked out of the shelter for drugs. Yeah, still not attracting healthy people… Maybe I’ll go to the mall and people watch. Maybe get a pair of earrings since I get them for free since I got my ears pierced again there a few weeks ago (right before I had to take them out for jail and had them immediately close up. I did pierce them again myself though.) Right now I gotta find a place to drop a Mitch though lmao. __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |
