Bipolar Check-in #80

Mountaindewed · Yesterday at 04:56 PM

My stomach and overal physical health was sort of a mess today. I was just in a lot of stomach pain and throwing up and I was tired. I took what I could for it and I took a half hour nap. I just had the same couple bowls of fruit and bag of hearts of palm pasta and cup of overnight oats I've been eating. I had an iced latte too. I just feel blah today. I see my endocronolgist tommorow and I don't know what he'll want to do. I know some of my blood work was slightly off. Then I see my pdoc and he doesn't need to do anything with my meds but he needs to be aware about Thursday. Idk. Just a bunch of **** that needs to be taken care of. I got some lime lemon and green Jello for Wednesday night

I have been sleeping on and off throughout the day, along with my family. We're all sick.

My mother caught something and we were all in close contact with her so we all have whatever it is. We know for sure that it's not covid or the flu because my mother visited the ship's doctor who tested for both and they were negative.

@HALLIEBETH87 I'm glad risperdal seems to be working well for you-It has been such a game changer for me and I hope it will be for you too!

I was being so careful but my second earbud finally fell into my bucket. Now I don't have any music. I'll have to buy some $12 wired ones and figure out my warranty on these ones.

Husband seduced me in my sleep. It was glorious! Dream come true. I am most happy and satisfied. Only got two hours of sleep, but whatever. Thought I was crashing, but now I don't know. Paranoia levels high at the moment. Feels like SOMETHING is watching me. I should probably just try going back to bed. Allergies are KICKING MY ***. I feel so sick. Ugh.

My endocronoglist was kinda an a hole. He was a bit hard on me about my weight and then he for some reason decided to tie my already tied shoe and said "I can see your not getting any movement. Those shoes are way too clean." Then he started talking about how dirty his own shoes were. Like wtf? What was the point of that. We did talk about Thursday and he was understanding and he could tell I didn't feel good today. But idk. Sometimes my doctors are super friendly and other times they can be a bit of an ***

I feel that I am out of depression, but my physical health is far from good. I have some serious diseases, problems with my knees and not so well-trained muscles + lung problems.

I think I have to build my health this summer and I want to start tomorrow. Some easy exercises for my muscles and then a long walk.

Hope to make an account of that tomorrow!

Sends hopes and hugs to all!

What is with some people and commenting on others' shoes? They go on your feet for protection. My family nor I ever had a lot of money, but have been into running and hiking for forever so a lot of times I would wear them out til there were no soles, the heels were shredded, and holes where my big toe would stick out. When I was IP they would have the doc write me an order to go outside and sprint around (as opposed to running in the halls screaming and punching walls), and one of the staff made a comment on my shoes every time I put them on and did something nice that she really wasn't supposed to do (and shouldn't have) and got me a pair. People comment when I get a new pair and it makes me feel really uncomfortable because shoes are really expensive now and I feel like I'm showing off to people like the dude at the CMHC who showed up shirtless and shoeless the other day after being robbed and not being able to get anything after that.

Anyway, made it back and my CM thinks I'm doing well. Probably telephone appointment with T on Wednesday.

Just all over the damn place. I have to ground myself in being grateful. There are a lot of people out there with a lot of problems, dealing with a lot, and I honestly don't have a care in the world, and I feel like I am just making up stuff at this point. I have to shake myself out of this.

This morning was really hard. Feeling neglected by my boyfriend, but I knew he had his children and a life to deal with outside of our relationship. Just the realization of it has been disturbing to me. Have to focus on my independence more, and the fact that I am completely free without financial woes, a wonderful family, a nice apartment and just everything I used to pray for when I used to be really struggling years ago. I wonder though if I am on enough medication, because the swings of emotion I am feeling are really rough, maybe I was too eager to come off some of my medication? I don't know. All I know is that stupid Lithium is going to do damage to me, and it has been a big part of all this weight gain.

You guys are really wonderful @bizi and @raspberrytorte ! Thank you so much for your support. I think it's hard @bizi not to be able to things we were used to because of all the weight gain. I am glad your doctor is working with you, and I am so sorry about the falls you have had. I hope that you are able to get stronger in the coming days and get back on track. I am hoping to do the same. It really is a shame about my gym partner @raspberrytorte - she is a strange one. She texted me about how bored she is in her house and that she has no money. I mean I don't know what she expects me to do for her. It's almost like she expects me to take her out and spend money on her, that's what it feels like anyway - because how am I supposed to answer texts like that? Anyway, I have to really get into the mindset of going to the gym by myself - I like your advice, I have some headphones and an MP3 player I can listen to. I also posted an ad on the NextDoor app to see if any of my neighbors want to go to the gym. It couldn't hurt to try.

All in all, I need to reign in all these extreme feelings. I didn't have them before this relationship, and I am becoming aware of that. My ex sent me a letter in the mail that was really hard to read, and that doesn't help. He has all the time for me in the world for me though, which my current boyfriend doesn't, which is just the irony of life, I guess. Ugh.

I'm really unwell from this cold, or whatever it is.

I got compression stockings to try to manage the swelling I'm experiencing in my feet, ankles and knees. One side is worse than the other.

I think a side effect of Rexulti is swelling so I'll have to find out how I do with it to weigh whether I want to live with the swelling if it works. So far, its effect is really subtle.
