I'm feeling a little on top of the world this evening. I have a feeling/am hoping that this is simply from the fact that I am still learning to regulate regular emotions so something I'm proud of/happy about is spinning out of control. Hopefully, things will be fine after I get some sleep. That, or maybe my brain is overcompensating to try and cover my anxiety since that has increased again since my mom (who is a large part of why I need counseling) unexpectedly sent something in the mail for teacher appreciation week. My body language at work has screamed "anxious!" for well over a month at this point-maybe two.
Side note: I don't know how those of you with kids do it. The amount/variety of feelings I have towards, and how much I care about, my students is wild (in a good way) and they aren't even my own kids. Shout out to all of you (and lots of support) as you balance life with caring for your kids (no matter how old they are). And, if anyone on here has ever lost a child or have a tough relationship with them, I am so sorry. __________________ Lamotrigine: 300 mg Bupropion: 150 mg Risperidone: 1 mg; 1 mg PRN |

When tf did I start getting hangovers? Oh, probably because I actually stopped drinking at some point.
I’m going to the Yolk for breakfast. It’s basically the “I need something greasy and a drink” for breakfast. Didn’t cancel my therapy appointment so I guess I’m going. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

I'm throwing up a lot today but I have energy and I'm not in pain or anxious. So I still have no idea what that means. But I was able to take a shower, and my moods are fine, and I haven't needed a valium yet.
As long as I don't have monster pain or nausea then I'm good. Right now I feel ok with my meds and the doses I'm on. But I haven't thrown them up in a couple days... I got my closet organized and I'm washing my blankets. Its national clean your room day. Does anyone else hate that Clear Choice commercial where people are eating food all sloppy and goofy and waving it in front of the camera because they can eat now? Idk it always gets on my nerves for some reason. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; May 10, 2024 at 02:18 PM.. |

Husband took me on a hike through the woods today. Part of it was up a VERY long and steep hill with like a MILLION stone steps. I felt like I was dying! Not only am I out of shape but I've ruined my lungs by vaping for Pete's sake. Halfway up we stopped so I could catch my breath and I turned to my husband and said, "Husband, I hate you." And he responded with, "What? You're the one who said you wanted to shed some pounds!"
Asshole! Lol Of course he was completely unphased by this awful hill with the bazillion stone steps!! Oh, and he expects me to do it AGAIN on Monday... I was like FUKK NO. __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days. Last edited by raspberrytorte; May 10, 2024 at 02:57 PM.. |

Feeling a bit blue today which is unusual it’s a Saturday and I’ve got no work. Taking my son for swimming lessons today then going to the mall to pick up eyeliner because mine will run out soon. Maybe the retail therapy will serve me well.
This week at work wasn’t as bad as others. I mean my classes have been worse in the past so I should be thankful for small blessings! Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and we’re going out to a cafe with my partner’s family. Hopefully that will cheer me up! |

My stomach hurts. I've eaten very lightly for two days, less than 1000 calories a day. It feels sour. I don't feel hungry. I can only digest bland carbs, like Cheerios (no milk). Well, since i'm so very overweight it's not an emergency. Maybe it's even a good thing -- i'll finally lose weight, tho it's uncomfortable.
Hugs to all who need them! |

Been completely cheating on my diet, and I am still battling with the same two pounds I have been battling with even when I was dieting. Makes no flippin sense. I feel really close with this girl I met an event two months ago; we have been grieving together for our lost loves. She actually left a guy around the same time Giovanni left 5 months ago. We both love our guys so much, and it's so nice to talk to someone who doesn't say "it's over, move on already"
Was at the new store today and it was SO exhausting. My feet hurt so bad from standing on them for 8 hours- there are no chairs in the store yet. Thank God I invested in some Skechers Slip-ons a month ago, they were $100 but they are totally worth it, they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned - perfect for this new location. I have had so much anxiety about how crazy busy this mall is and all the traffic around it, but I found a side street into the lower-level parking lot near one of the main entrances, which made things a lot easier. Traffic is total bananas when I get out at 6pm, but it's okay, it just reminds me of NYC all over again, lol. But all in all, it was a really exciting day at the new store. Can't wait for the Candle Studio to be built in the back so I can start teaching people how to make their own candles! It's going to be so much fun! Symptoms wise I'm really good - it's been a month since I stopped taking my morning meds, and I'm functioning better than usual. That daytime sleepiness is virtually gone. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I went to blick and had a meltdown. I had to spend x on myself and I didn't know what to get. I finally got 2 sketch books, pastels, watercolor paper, pens, and a pencil. We went to 2 different places because there was no parking. The lots were $60 parking so we went out side the city. Traffic was crazy. I guess I'm going to color tomorrow. Gotta finish my nephew's picture.

I wanted to say $60 parking would make me gtfo of that area though I think when I had access to it and was sleeping in it, I parked in a garage it cost not even $25 for the whole week. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

I didn't take my stomach med today. And I'm not throwing up and my stomach feels normal for the first time in a couple weeks. I've had coffee and an Ensure and a couple sodas and I just threw up a bit of bile before the coffee, but thats it. My stomach feels almost normal.
I know I was put on this med when I saw my new doctor sometime in like March. And shortly after that was when I started puking everyday all day. I'm wondering if thats the issue? The increase in Zofran is helping though. I've also started drinking Ensure and that **** is as good as a med increase. I have so much more energy. I've gotten my closet cleaned, taken a shower, and now I'm doing laundry. My mom and I went out at 10PM last night to look for the northern lights. So now I'm kinda wondering if it was my pantropaloze causing the vomiting all along? __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Glad the Ensure is helping, that stuff is pretty good for providing nutrients you have trouble getting through food. I pretty much lived off of those during paranoia episodes that made me think food was poisoned, and carnation instant breakfast hot chocolates (less calories but less nutrients, but the same idea as Ensure and Boost) when I was on the track to dying from restriction. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

Just feeling really good. Having a really clean house and clean environment can really help boost the mood. I woke up in so much pain and had to push through and clean all my sheets. I couldn't go to the gym but thank goodness my gym partner is so understanding. I also cancelled lunch with my friend. I don't know what it was, but I got a sudden burst of energy after I took some aspirin and cleaned my whole house from top to bottom even going outside and cleaning off all the cobwebs. I shouldn't let it get that bad.
All I know is, I am sitting here with the windows wide open and so much fresh air coming in. I feel really good, and I really hope I get to see the Northern Lights because I missed them last night. That would just be the perfect end to a perfect day. I am glad I didn't just stay in bed all day today because I was in pain. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I'm hoping I get a chance to see the Northern Lights tonight too. Too much light pollution here and no car, but might get together with a buddy or however many we can cram into whoever's wheels we're taking.
Starting to feel better too. Honestly, I think obsessively looking at a guitar pick my partner gave me, and rereading some texts from them that just kinda tell me they think of me when I'm not there are helping. Not doing anything crazy with the substances for three or so weeks helps significantly too. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

So I have some good news and bad news...
The good - my anxiety is way down. I take Klonopin just 1-2 times a week now. Vraylar seems to be working The bad - my legs and feet are swelling up, I found out that it's the Vraylar is doing it. I contacted my pdoc but she's not in until Tuesday. Otherwise, I'm hanging on, trying not to go too low. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin, Vraylar My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.

I'm feeling better; stronger. This is the second flicker i've had this Spring of good mood. I had two great games of Scrabble last night. Thoughts of the past are not so painful. I just tell myself i was a different person then. It's comforting.
My digestion is still broken tho. I've cut way back, even cut out pop. Maybe i just have to wait until i am ravenous to eat? I worry about it because work will be done on my bathroom soon and i won't have access to it at all times during the one week. There are other bathrooms in the building but i don't know if i can make it there in time. It looks like i'll just have to fast while the work is being done and i have no access.

Happy Mother's Day to moms of all kinds out there It can be a difficult day, but know you are worthy, you're doing the best you can, and you are cared about. Rock on my friends
--- Some dude's selling his synthesizer. Messaged him to see if there's any sort of agreement we can make (I don't have cash, so I'll like move furniture, clean, paint the living room, yard work, be a baby sitter, be a trip sitter, sleep with him, whatever lol) so I can get my hands on that mofo. Feeling pretty good today. My CM called and asked how I was doing. Seemed concerned and kinda hinted she expected me to call later in some kind of crisis. Explained last week she had a family emergency so that's why she blew me off. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

I was gonna say the same thing (about fluctuation). You really wanna be Goldilocks here. Which is why it is soooo messed up when parents force overeating on their kids. Like finish this jar of babyfood so i dont have to deal with it. A friend of a friend did that to her baby in my presence once, and i swear that baby looked terrorized. Its so hard to get that sense back. My mom did that to my cousin's kid and the kid puked spaghetti all over her stepmom's new white carpet. Thats when i knew she did it to me too. Just thoughtless, egotistical.
