Bipolar Check-in #82

@LadyShadow - Wow, glad you're okay and that your family is okay! I was thinking about you. I'm glad your home wasn't damaged.

MuddyBoots · Sep 30, 2024, 11:30 AM

@LadyShadow That's nuts! I'm so happy you and your family are okay. My aunts got hit by it too, one of them (Western NC) had her greenhouse destroyed, trees in the yard down, and no power for a bit. The other (GA) was luckier and just got really wet. I hope all you guys down there are able to recover as best and quickly as possible.

I've been talking to this guy (don't worry he's boring as hell so probably good for me) and we're going to see Deadpool and Wolverine whenever it comes to my little free secret showing place. Had low air in a tire this morning and had fun lugging the air compressor out with my fked up finger (I swear it hurts now and it didn't hurt when it was purple). I get a lot of satisfaction making lights go off without going to a shop though. That's why I like lights going off for low tire pressure and oil

Chicken wings today!!! I might preorder them because this place takes a while. I've never done that before, so it'll be a nice little learning experience.

My GI office wants to see me for a follow up for the endoscopy. So I have a 1:30 appointment tommorow. I forgot I had to get bloodwork for my endocronolgist appointment next Monday so I went this morning. It was jam packed and I waited about 40 minutes.

As soon as I typed this I fell asleep for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I've been really tired lately. I got the cat to the vet for his surgery check up. No problems with him. Now I'm back at home.

verizon outage is affectng me. im worried my granny wont be able to reach me so i told her for any emergency to call 911 nd we will sort it out.

Amethyst_Stargazer · Sep 30, 2024, 12:00 PM

I missed this place, I got back from the hospital and had to get my medication adjusted. I'm doing okay. Today I watched Alice in Wonderland, I guess I relate to it because I feel like I'm in a different world inside my head and it's hard for people to understand. I'm glad I found this place. Hope there's someone out there that truly understands where I'm coming from. My moods are okay, but yesterday I was pretty sad and cried.

TW: alcohol

Possible trigger:

I made a beverage purchase whoopsie. Ate my wings and was right next to the grocery store and just thought it'd be a good idea to get ginger beer, but they didn't have that, so I got a locally brewed pumpkin ale. I left the store and thought of the time I ran into my case manager there and was thankful today wasn't that day! Anyway, it was only a six pack and it's literally just pumpkin ale so I'll be fine on that front. I can't really feel drunk while taking the Ritalin either so I probably won't even finish it off (I want to be clear that will not happen in one day) and run to the liquor store.

Also stupidly entered my card info on an unsecured/public wifi spot. So hopefully nothing comes out of that.

I’ve done that. Now we know not to do it again!

Deadpool and Wolverine was great! I went and saw it when it came out. Hope you enjoy your chicken wings. I’m considering ordering some food tonight myself. Probably McDonald’s from Ubereats

Blue_Bird · Sep 30, 2024, 03:06 PM

It’s 4pm now. I have to head out around 4:50pm to get the 5pm bus for my 6pm to 8pm volunteer shift. Depending on when I get out I may be back before or after 9pm. Depending on the bus. I’m thinking of ordering takeout tonight when I get home. I want a bacon double quarter pounder with cheese and a chocolate shake. That sounds really good right now. Still not sure if I am or not. We’ll see if I’m hungry when I get home.

The wings were soooo good and they were all ready by the time I got there! Tried the cajun sauce (new one for me) and it was really good. I hope you enjoy the bacon burger if you get one too

Moose72 · Sep 30, 2024, 04:26 PM

N3 is putting the finishing touches on his application to University of Michigan’s engineering program. He’s sending it in tonight!

Mountaindewed · Sep 30, 2024, 04:58 PM

I made jello. It was really good.

JaneOnceMore · 07:04 PM

I felt wretched but then i walked my dog in the sunshiny day and looked up more jokes and felt better. I had the second of my meals from the new service i am trying, mushroom marsala, and while it tasted good, with nice risotto, it had garlic and my stomach has been protesting ever since. I love the taste of garlic but not the stomach upset after it. So now i doubt i'll be able to stick with the service. My dog is gazing at me, pouring love all over me!

"Whenever i feel fat, ugly, stupid, and that i have no redeeming traits, i don't despair. At least i have sound judgement!"

"I was filling out an online survey and it asked what state i live in. Apparently 'constant despair' is not an appropriate answer!"

"What's worse: ignorance or apathy? I don't know and i don't care!"

Hugs to all in need!

Blue_Bird · Sep 30, 2024, 06:02 PM

I’m on the bus on the way home. I finished early. Here’s one of the kitties

HALLIEBETH87 · Sep 30, 2024, 07:46 PM

I made a big pot of taco soup just now. hubbys request. its sooo good!! my SOS mode finally went off my phone. anyone else feel like it was some sort of attack on verizon? am i being paranoid still??

haldol has made a huge difference. i see pdoc friday and am finally sleeping soundly. not really hung over either thank goodness. less irritable too. i was like super mad at ben for using my markers the other night. how dumb. lol

Mountaindewed · Sep 30, 2024, 07:50 PM

My spotify went all glitchy for a few a seconds a couple hours ago. And I heard Spotify was out last night for a bit. If someone wants to do something on Verizon or anything they have the power to do it very easily.

They can shut the power and internet off totally, tbh in a cybyer attack.

HALLIEBETH87 · Sep 30, 2024, 07:58 PM

I think it was intentional...

Moose72 · Sep 30, 2024, 09:00 PM

N3 got his application finished and turned in.

BeyondtheRainbow · Sep 30, 2024, 09:03 PM

I've made it through my 7 weeks! Tomorrow is the day I finally see my real therapist again (and the first time I've had therapy in 5 weeks so hopefully he's not mad). Finally!

Thanks for the support during this. Even just having people listen to my countdown has helped.

So glad to have this group.

I had a good day with my students and a good counseling session. Some of my students and I tried the new coke flavored Oreo's together. A lot of my students seemed to like them, or at least tolerate them, but I was not a fan.

My old counselor pointed out to my new counselor that I did not have SI thoughts until after I had started seeing my first, not so great pdoc. I think they are wondering if these thoughts are some long term effect to her poor methods and/or the prozac that triggered a mixed episode that led to my diagnosis. I don't think so though; I think it's just how my symptoms present sometimes now. The next time I'm struggling with more intense SI thoughts, we might try this thing called ART. It's similar to EMDR and I've responded well to it for other things, I just don't know that there's a ton of info about using ARTs for SI.

So I spent the day trying to figure out how to successfully complete my degree as fast as possible without going overboard or spending more than 4 hours on it. I did the same for my husband's degree. It's going to cost us $380 a month each to complete our degrees. No idea where we are going to get that kind of money.
So we'll see how things work out.

Then I went house hunting because we have to move soon. Calculating what you can afford by zip code is a *****.

Took my son to his paediatrician for his ADHD checkup. She’s giving us a referral to a psychologist for an autism assessment. He ticks a lot of boxes. His ADHD has just been so dominant (he’s 5) that the autism was overlooked. I’m keeping an open mind. My partner’s 16 year old son from a different marriage is very autistic. I’ve always told my partner he has traits of autism but he brushes me off like it’s nothing. But I’m convinced there’s something there.

Thanks for listening.

Mountaindewed · Oct 01, 2024, 02:29 AM

I woke up with my throat hurting and yellow gunk coming out of my nose and feeling achy. I know I took a 4 hour nap yesterday and then slept all night. Then yesterday I drank a venti caramel macchiatio and then I was still really tired and I drank half a bottle of white mocha espresso and I still needed a nap.

Then there was the whole unusually irritated and frustrated thing this past weekend. Idk but I do have a cold it seems.
