Took me 12 hours to get 6 1/2 hours of sleep. I’ll take it! I’m just sort of blah.

I saw my GI doctor. He wants to put me on this med called Elvail for my GI stuff. He is putting me on 10mg and says I shouldn't have an issue at that dose. He looked at my med list and said theres a slight interaction with my Prestiq. But he keeps saying that 10mg isnt a big deal.
I came home and googled it and I found all sorts of freaky stuff from weight gain to long QT and other heart stuff. Yet I'm not sure if that stuff happens on just 10mg. I'm kinda nervous though tbh to take it. But I can't take legit stomach meds because of my Geodon and going down 20mg didn't work. So I have to try off label stuff. __________________ I'm Blue |

Didn’t sleep great. Woke up at 1:00am hungry because I didn’t eat dinner (got home late from the paediatrician and ate lunch late). Got up and made a nachos snack. Partner woke me up at 5:00am when he left for work. Still sleeping 12 hours most nights and can’t change it. Because I feel exhausted during the day. I know ….. off to the chemist today I need more Effexor.
I’ll check in later have a good one all! |

I went out to a meeting and spent some time in my church by myself for a while. Weather has been really dreary. New Hurricane forming in the Carribean headed this way.
Came home and have just been crying for the entire afternoon. I am just sinking. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I was upset all day about a mix-up with the delivery of my dog's food but it was all put in perspective when i tuned in to a local news broadcast. I've had trouble accessing local news for almost a year now due to technical difficulties but i worked them out and am i ever glad i did. All the anxiety, frustration, and anger over the mix-up blew away when i realized i am so lucky not to be in the midst of the devastation of hurricane Helene and the unrest in the Middle-East.
I also passed a milestone in adjusting to my new lifestyle with walking my dog regularly three times a day. Today was the first day that i didn't go back to bed after her early morning walk. It was a grim day and my body aches but it's still a sign that i'm adjusting to a healthier pattern. @LadyShadow: My thoughts and prayers go out to you in this incredibly difficult time. Hugs to all in need!

It's been a weird day. I took a 4-5 hour nap this morning on my couch. Didn't do much most of the day, almost felt depressed. Couldn't focus on anything either so I mostly sat around in silence. Then I ordered McDonalds tonight, got the double bacon quarter pounder with cheese and a chocolate shake, and two large black coffees to have around to drink until I go grocery shopping tomorrow and get some more coffee grounds. I'm feeling in a better mood now. Maybe I just needed some caffeine. I'm not used to going without it, that could have caused the dip in mood/energy over the past couple days. I'm listening to music right now, enjoying one of my coffees, and might play one of the new PC games I bought today for my laptop, I got a couple new ones.

Feeling dumb because I'm having issues with attention and English. Does anyone else have cognitive issues because of this disorder?

I saw a reel today that said people with bipolar disorder sometimes wish for mania but tend to always fear depression; I can relate to this. Lately, I've been wanting my hypomanic sweet spot to kick in so I can enjoy life more than depression allows. The sweet spot also feels fun. But, the truth is, whenever I experience it next (which will probably be sooner than later since I had to stop the one type of birth control and don't have a different type yet) I won't be happy it's there because the sweet spot doesn't last long and is followed by unpleasant manic symptoms and then a depressive crash. Part of me also fears the sweet spot kicking in because I know what follows.
As I type this, I feel like I've written a similar post as this before. I guess it shows a pattern of mindset for me. __________________ Lamotrigine: 300 mg Bupropion: 150 mg Risperidone: 3 mg |

Had a serious freak out this morning about being old. Actually had an anxiety dream about it the other day and one of my "friends" on Facebook commented (when I made a distressed post about it), "You are." What the FCK. Needless to say I unfriended him! I already KNOW I'm old. I'm FREAKING OUT ABOUT IT.
I used to be so pretty.  Now I'm just.. OLD. HALF MY LIFE IS OVER. OVER HALF MY LIFE! I'm going to start bawling! I am not taking this whole getting older thing well. My husband doesn't care at all.

I’m still up. It’s a little after midnight now. Wide awake. I guess the 5 hour nap I took in the morning threw my schedule off. I’m just gonna have to stay up and push through tomorrow and then try to go to sleep tomorrow night.
I like to get my grocery shopping done early so I’m gonna take the bus there around 6am. In the meantime I’m gonna watch some shows and listen to music and feel inspired. Hopefully enough to practice violin later in the day. Music is everything. I got some cat treats being delivered tomorrow for my cats. They’ll be happy. They both love treats. Just say the word treats and they come running. I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing in my life and that I’m getting nowhere and am not good at anything __________________ “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

@Blue_Bird You accomplish so much! You have such a drive to keep busy. I don't do a fourth of what you do and I'm still tired all the time. Just the kitty shelter alone is a huge gift to the kitties and the world. I admire you so much. Please don't put yourself down.

I can't sit around wondering when this depressive episode is going to pass. It could be more days, weeks, who knows.
Through sheer will I managed to get back into my hobby. I'm not feeling the short term relief from the depression that I usually experience, but I'm trying anyway. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.

My son’s paediatrician rang. His blood test results were in. He’s deficient in Vitamin B12, Vitamin D and iron. She’s still waiting on more results to come through and will ring me when she has other results in. Went to the chemist to stock up on his vitamins. Will need to get more as she gets more results in. His diet is so poor there’s no surprises there. She said try improve his diet. Easier said than done when I can count on one hand what he will eat.
