@Blueberrybook Sending my best wishes that your mom's oncology appointment comes out with no news take care of yourself and remind yourself worrying isn't going to change the outcome, and if the outcome is good, great! If it's not, you guys can/will tackle it as best as you can. I know you'll still be anxious, but realizing it's a thing that in the immediate present you have no control over might take that down some.

Yeah, I just made an appointment with my pdoc to discuss everything. I’m really going off on people. Blah. It just feels like a chore to deal with people. Don’t know if it entirely the lack of sleep or something else brewing. But I sent a note I’m considering a therapist too. Don’t know what a therapist could do, I’m done with trauma stuff. It’s just dealing with personalities. I have no patience right now. And my pdoc is convinced that a large part of my stability is sleep.

I’m redecorating my apartment this week.

These are the things I’m getting for it , I’ll do this in a couple separate posts because it will only let me upload 4 pics at a time

These are slip covers for the armchair and loveseat, a fall blanket, and a new lamp

I'm anxious now because my mom texted that she is seeing her oncologist Monday for an update on her latest scans. She was diagnosed with endometrial cancer stage III last year and went through chemo and radiation and fortunately went into remission. However, now she has regular scans and appts. with her oncologist to be sure she is still cancer-free. Every time she has another oncologist appt. I worry that the cancer will return. These appts. always make me feel anxious until I hear back from my mom about the results. I just hope the news stays good.
Hope everything is fine with your mom.

Yeah I did request an appointment. I see him Oct 9th. Just two weeks. The irritatablity has been going on for a while. Really really want to run away to the northwoods.

@Nammu -You are right about sleep.; sleep does affect my stability A LOT as well. My sleep starts sliding, here comes trouble with my bipolar. I know you don't want to become too dependent on ambien, but at least for the time being, could you consider taking your fully prescribed dose nightly? Even if it's just for the short term? I am glad you are going to see your pdoc.

Curtains for my living room (the teal ones) and curtains for my bedroom

And throw pillow covers. Plus not pictured the memory foam throw pillow inserts

I figured it’s time for a refresh

Oo pretty. My daughter get covers for her throw pillows. Right now she’s got autumn, come Christmas she’ll have Santa and candles. Then after Christmas winter scenes. So same pillows but they look new every season. I love the teal curtains, so pretty.

Awesome! I’ll likely do that too!

I'm so nervous, I'm hoping they forgot about it and I don't have to do it today and someone else steps in to do it. Not that I technically HAVE to do it, but occasionally I do it. The bingo games. I feel on the verge of a panic attack and don't think I can stand up in a room full of people calling out bingo numbers. It's uncomfortable. I honestly don't even know if I'm supposed to do it today, like they didn't ask me to but I feel like they might assume I'm doing it because I did one of the ones last month. Idk

I might just go to sleep. Regardless if I show up or not the program manager will end up doing it, no one is really required to do it.
