My therapist and I agreed to cut back one session per month, as we were doing until I got depressed in January. So I don't have an appointment this week.
I think we need to wait for the med changes to go through (I'm lowering gabapentin and Emsam) before we try this again because I'm anxious, kind of paranoid and had some passively scary thoughts the last 2 days. I'm fine, just don't like that I'm thinking that way. I'm afraid he'll be disappointed in me but med changes are hard and I need the support apparently. I'm scared this will end about December and I get severely depressed in January every year. I guess we'll see. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

I forgot to take the Lyrica out of my pillbox and accidentally took it this morning, but I'm not having racing thoughts today. Now I'm not sure if I should keep taking the Lyrica or not. Maybe yesterday was just a fluke. I see the pdoc on Monday. I'll mention it to him if it happens again. Otherwise I'm doing okay moodwise. It's weird to feel so stable after that long period of depression I had through much of winter and spring. I didn't even realize how bad it was until near the end of it, but that was the worst depression I've ever had. Ugh.
@raspberrytorte It is natural your body might crash after going so long on so little sleep. How is your mood doing? Are you having other signs of depression or are you just tired? @HALLIEBETH87 When do you see the pdoc again? If your next appointment is still awhile away, can you call and leave a message to talk to your pdoc over the phone? Seeing stuff and feeling bug crawling sensations can't be fun. __________________ 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 |

@Blueberrybook
Just run down feeling. No depression. Still feel great. Still very hot and bothered. Still dreamily fantasizing about Husband. Sigh. Until Thursday night. I'm also about to have my period. Like at any moment, so that could be contributing to the run down feeling. But I still feel really good. ![]() __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days. ![]() |

Oh, made an appointment to see my new POS psychiatrist on August 19th. Ugh. Not looking forward to it. It's one of those extra long sessions where they ask a million questions, and I've OD'd and been IP so many times I don't even remember them all! And I've been on SO many meds. Hopefully she doesn't decide to completely change everything. Last time I saw this particular psychiatrist (and the ONLY time I saw her) she took me off Haldol, zoloft and remeron cold turkey and replaced them with latuda and ambien. ****ed me up big time. Overdose, IP stay, NOT looking forward to seeing this psychiatrist again!

So we dropped Victoria's friends off at the airport and our car started smoking. We nursed it home just for it to get towed an hour later. We can't do this. If we can fix it enough to get it back to my parents I will. We just can't keep a car. My parents blame the area we live in that it's bleeding us dry but I think anywhere would bleed us dry. 950 isn't a lot to live off of. It would have been worse in Florida because we wouldn't have medical on top of everything else at least there's a decent bus system and Victoria can use the bathroom. It just sucks. I wish my family would understand poverty.
That Victoria to educated to get hired at a minimum wage job but no job experience to qualify for a higher paying job. Vocational rehab hasn't gotten back to her or answered their phone. She's hoping for a summer job but it's late. She wants to move out with her friends but she has to make 3x her portion of rent. It just sucks but I'm not depressed because I'm not crying. __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog |

Last night I threw up out of my nose. It was pretty gross. And it hurt. I was trying not to throw up so I had my mouth closed and then I burped and it just came out my nose onto my shirt.
Today I was just tired and anxious and my stomach hurt. I thought maybe it was caffeine withdrawel, so a couple hours ago I drank a Mountain Dew. Then I projectile vomited a number of times. But whatever caffeine did stay down helped my anxiety and now I'm fine. My brother in law is taking all my soda tonight so I won't have anymore. He also took all my Doritos and other chips. I have some dark bags under my eyes. My mom noticed them too. Thats the Crohns disease look I'm talking about. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

How are you approaching these sorta conversations with your family? Does it seem like they just don't understand or don't WANT to understand or are judgmental? I know I have a lot of struggles people just don't understand, but there is a difference between not being able to imagine it and putting someone down for it. PS, you don't have to cry to be depressed. Hell, a lot of people in a depression don't cry because there is just nothing going on emotionally. I cry all the time when I'm more "BPDing or PTSDing" upset, but if I'm bipolar depressed and not triggered in other ways, I have to try to get myself to cry usually with the song "For Billy" by Highly Suspect ![]() __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

Sounds like you've been getting closer to answers to your health problems though. I hope that keeps up, and hopefully you find some explanation that is curable or at least treatable. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |
