Today my nausea and anxiety are a lot better. I haven't had any soda and I haven't thrown up at all. I had an iced coffee and a lot of tea, but that was fine. I also didn't take any Zofran, and my anxiety was fine. The prilosec seems to be working well.
I'm hoping to hear back from my doctor tommorow. I still am having some stomach pain. I really am doing a deep clean of my pantry. I got rid of a ton of stuff that bothers my stomach. My brother in law is taking my soda today. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; Yesterday at 05:12 PM.. |

Zofran never made me anxious, but of course I wasn't on it very long, and didn't need to take a lot of it for my pain related nausea. I'm happy you're feeling less anxious. Anxiety sucks! __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days.

I had orientation today to volunteer at a small dog rescue shelter. The main role of volunteers is to interact with the dogs. They may also need help with things like folding laundry, cleaning up the outdoor space, and bathing dogs. They never ask volunteers to do the main cleaning. I'm excited to get to hang out with dogs and to have this as a way to get out of the house, but I'm also nervous because I don't have experience with some of the dog temperaments they have there.
I didn't reach out to my counselor today like I said I would. I'm putting it off because I know it will be an emotionally tough session and because I'm embarrassed by the fact that I still need to go to counseling once a week even though I have been going for three years. But, I would never look down on someone for going to counseling as often as they need to so I need to work on not looking down on myself for this too. __________________ Lamotrigine: 300 mg Bupropion: 150 mg Risperidone: 1 mg; 1 mg PRN |

Talked to husband. He IS depressed/anxious/stressed. I was all like, "If I died I wouldn't want you to be a lonely old man! I wouldn't want that for you!" And I started crying, and he was all like, "Come here, don't cry!"
I couldn't help it. I love him so, SO much. I hate to see him so depressed and stressed out and at odds with himself and the world in general. I asked him if he wanted to see a therapist, and he said no because he feels awful afterwards when he lets his guard down for anyone but me. Right now he's sleeping and I'm wide awake which is really unfortunate because we're leaving for our trip early tomorrow morning and I still have to pack and everything. Hopefully a nice, family getaway will be good for Husband and he'll come home feeling a bit better. I just feel so helpless. I don't know how to help him. He thinks I'm going to crash soon. I don't think so. I think I would have already. __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days.

I woke up with night sweats last night and still am feeling weird this morning. The only thing I can think is that I had taken Lyrica for 2 days and then skipped it yesterday. It seems like it wouldn't have been long enough to cause night sweats, but who knows? I am pretty sure I remembered to take my Seroquel last night unless I forgot to put it in the pillbox for last night; I know from experience that skipping even 1 or 2 doses of Seroquel causes me to have miserable night sweats.
I saw the pdoc this morning; he didn't change any of my medication but was of the opinion I need to get out more and should volunteer or something. I have such a hard time being among other people; it just feels like so much strain and I feel so self-conscious and awkward. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, , propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, omeperazole I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. --Robert Frost |

The nurse from the GIs office back. She said based on the results of the test it does look like I have irritable bowel disease. They want to do a colonoscopy. They are booked until September though. So I'll have to manage things on my own until then. The good thing is I now know whats been causing my issues and its not in my head like the first hospital was hinting at
Also this can drain you of energy so I'm not just being lazy when I can't leave the house or can't take a shower. Today I've been just feeling kinda mid. Its hot out and I'm throwing up a bit. I took a Zofran around 11 last night and I woke up with a lot of anxiety at 3 and I had to take a valium. I never take valium that early. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; Today at 02:38 PM.. |

Feeling much better today after the past emotional rollercoaster of the past couple of nights. My period is coming soon, (it's actually a week late), and I have been wondering if all of that is affecting my moods. Yesterday was a really good day - my dad drove all the way back to New York to take care of some things, but I was able to give him his Father's Day present and also spent time with my mom. My mom got to speak to my boyfriend for the first time, so that was good too.
Came home last night and just spent some time cleaning my house. Spent the evening with my boyfriend talking about books, movies and dystopian stories. Just interesting conversation. Woke up this morning with a new sense of purpose as I finished cleaning the rest of my house, changing the water for my flowers, and taking a nice shower and dressing up. I managed to do another video diary entry, I haven't been keeping up with it lately, they are very instrumental in self-reflection and keeping a record of some of the things I've been through. I recommend them to anyone who wants to gain introspection into themselves. I want to commend you on going for the risperidone increase @June08 - my doctor recommended that same dosage for me to keep up with my bipolar treatment plan. I think that regimen has me being the most stable I have ever been. I am curious to see how well you do on it too, it has been extremely helpful to me. Painfully aware that my 44th birthday is approaching next week. Usually, it would depress me, but with all the amazing things happening in my life, I am trying not to let it get me down. These bouts of self-sabotage I plan on talking to my therapist about, I want to enjoy the happiness instead of trying to find fault with it. Felt good today, so I took a selfie to go with my video diary entry : )

My therapist of 7 almost 8 years died unexpectedly this weekend. I just got a call from the office telling me. I’m so devastated. I’ve been crying

@Blue_Bird I am so sorry for your loss. I lost a pdoc unexpectedly when I was in grad school and it was really hard even though we didn't have a very close relationship. So I can imagine how hard losing your therapist would be. Did they offer for you to talk to someone else while you are dealing with the shock of this news?

@Blue_Bird
I am so sorry for your loss. That must be devastating. @LadyShadow I'm glad you're feeling better. What a beautiful picture! I got in today to see the dentist on a cancellation for my broken tooth. I was really nervous I would need another root canal, but fortunately it was just a crown. Paid a bit extra to get the laughing gas this time. Last time I had a crown, I got it without the nitrous, and that was rough. Definitely money well worth it. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, , propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, omeperazole I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. --Robert Frost |
