Didn’t sleep last night again. Makes for very long days! I asked my primary to order me an A1C because high blood sugar could be feeding the yeast. However the latest prescription anti fungus kit seems to be workin! Told my case manager that I’m not sleeping and she is puzzled why the low dose of risperdal isn’t helping with that. Higher doses gave me high prolactin and vaginal dryness and a stubborn yeast infection for 3 1/2 weeks and umpteen drs and pharmacy visits! I’m not repeating that!

Took my last dose of the yeast infection cream last night. Went to Tim Hortons with fwb since we hadn’t seen each other since the yeast infection started a month ago. He wanted to come up to my place after lunch but google says it’s best to wait a few days after you finish treatment to have sex again so he didn’t come up. Lunch conversation was ok. We got talking about N1 and my friend who are trans because a trans woman was in line behind us when we were waiting for our food. This is one reason he and I can’t date- he can’t understand N1’s being trans. That’s disappointing. Of course I’m going to defend my child no matter what and especially when it comes to her being trans. She’s worked so hard with being trans and she also has borderline and adhd. She takes Vraylar I believe and is doing well!

Oh! I have normal blood sugar but my liver enzymes are higher. I suggested that maybe it’s the Terconazole since the pill form- I used the vaginal cream-can cause liver damage and liver failure! I hope to hear back from her on Monday.

Doing laundry. Slept too long again but I hope the Vraylar will knock me out tonight. Had a little bit of hand shaking earlier. It’s gone now. Doing laundry. Nobody else is doing theirs! Yippee! I will get a shower when my laundry is done in about an hour. I washed the towels too. They needed it! I really really REALLY hope Vraylar works out!

Saw my therapist today. She disagreed with my assertion that spending all that money on yeast infection kits and going out to eat every day for a month is hypomania. She said I did so because I like the lighting and the people. I think it’s both. Definitely hypomania.

Therapist still doesn’t seem to like meds. She also disagreed that my hypomania is the cause of my going to Panera every day. She says I go because I like the atmosphere and people. I often talk with Caleb on the phone while there but I talk with him lots of places. I still think that uncontrolled spending is hypomania and that the Vraylar will kick in and get rid of it.

Moose72,
Just wondering, how seriously have you considered changing therapists? Because it sounds like this therapist may reject the medical model of mental illness entirely. I can tell you, from working in the Counseling field, that there are a number of therapists who believe that Bipolar, and even Schizophrenia, are just a result of unresolved issues from childhood. As someone who has been dealing with chemical imbalances in my brain most of my life, I steer clear of such counselors. While they can be helpful with basic problem solving issues, they can undermine reliable treatment for bipolar disorder. Most therapists, in my experience, do acknowledge the reality of mood disorders stemming from chemical imbalances. If you were to change therapists, you could ask prospective therapists up front if they could help you cope with Bipolar issues. I hope this is helpful. |

My friend who is a therapist says I’ve only seen her 3 times- give her a chance.

We were talking about my med change to Vraylar and how I've had reaction after reaction to previous meds. She said that's why she is a therapist- that meds aren't the whole picture. I said I have gone through almost every med out there and that's why I came to see her.

I think I’m going to go to the in person hearing voices network group at the end of the month. It’s not far and the zoom version was interesting. I expect I’ll be doing a lot of listening instead of talking. It’s kind of intimidating seeing people with psychosis in real life. I could talk to a schizophrenic. I’m so use to this forum! It’ll be an experience that’s for sure!
