Bipolar Check-in #82

Crazy Hitch · Yesterday at 07:43 PM

I’ve taken my son to an indoor play centre so he can let off some steam. It’s loud in here. I didn’t answer my phone when my counsellor rang. She left me a 47 second voicemail saying she was with sick child on Saturday hence forgot. Fair enough but she’s done it TWICE now so yeah. Plus I see a new psychologist next week so there’s that.

This play centre is going to drive me crazy with all the screaming ….

@raspberrytorte, I had cats throughout my life and my last cat died about 3 years ago. I think I'm done with cats. Not that they aren't great, but I've had them since I was 6 and I think I'm good.

I had fish too, huge tank and various types of fish. Of course not cuddly but very cute and they do recognize people.

I was thinking of a bird but I have to convince my wife. We have the space, but I'm concerned about it getting into the dishes and such if we let it loose around the house, which I think would be 5 majority of the time. Plus I would get at least 2.

@Blueberrybook I'm glad your appointment went well!

I spent a good chunk of my evening trying to find different places to volunteer but haven't had any lunch. Scheduling is the issue I'm running in to.

Today was an okay day. It went faster than I expected it to so that's good. Tomorrow, I have detention coverage and a chiropractor appointment so those two things will help fill some of my down time/keep me distracted from the different ways I'm struggling. One week until counseling and 1.5 weeks until I see my pdoc.

Ugh. My therapist keeps on bothering me about seeing my damn GP about my stupid hormones!!! 😒 Finally I texted her something along the lines of: I don't think we should fck with my hormones. Last time we did that I ended up IP (after taking the morning after pill). Plus I can't go on hormonal birth control. I have in the past and regardless of the kind it made me go crazy and gave me bad PMS the entire month, including the nova ring (or whatever that thing was called). She never responded. Lol. I'm so sick of her talking about my stupid hormones! Messing with my already messed up hormones DOES NOT help me!!!! I have learned this from the past! I will NOT go on any hormonal birth control! Grrrr. FCKKKK!!!!!

Okay. Calm down, raspberry. Lol.

Took my son to the gp for his persistent cough the last few days. Turns out he does need antibiotics because he has a bit of a red throat and red ears. Poor bugger hasn’t complained about that at all. Dr said he’ll be alright in 2 days. Good thing.

Possible trigger:

I took 2 Tylenol PM, a melatonin, and 2 Dramamine last night

my mom woke me up to help her give the cat his pain med and I was literally stumbling. I got his meds in which was good and then I fell back asleep. I feel ok now.

Not a lot of sleep last night and very tired this morning. Struggling a lot - things with my boyfriend - kind of gave him an ultimatum last night and laid down everything that was bothering me about our relationship. It was painful and I was very harsh - I definitely said a lot of things in anger and frustration in which I cried myself to sleep in guilt over it. It's just been a really rough night - thankfully I see my therapist this afternoon.

Going to a nutritionist this morning to address this whole weight thing. I know it's mostly my thyroid issue, but maybe I can fix the way I eat, and it should help some.

Guys my head is just in a fog, I am so exhausted right now. I just laid in bed since 4:41am this morning in tears and then did a whole unit in my Duolingo for my Spanish class. @Blueberrybook I am so glad you are on the mend - so interesting about some of the language that your family knows too. @raspberrytorte hugs my friend because of your painful period, mine is due real soon and it could be why I'm so emotional. @Mountaindewed I think a lot of people are nervous with this election like other people have mentioned - plus all that's happening in the Middle East seems really bad.

I slept good. About 6 hours. Got up got on the treadmill for 30 minutes then took a shower. I’m actually about to turn the heat on cause it’s chilly this morning. Hopefully that means fall weather is coming soon. Later today I’m calling the bingo game for my building. Nervous but it will be over with quickly.

I am definitely sore from that fall yesterday. The worst thing is the scrape I got on my right hand because I have to use my hands so much and it's impossible to keep a bandaid on it. Still, I was able to walk & jog this morning which felt good even if I was a little anxious I might fall again.

This morning I went to the grocery store because I forgot to order Greek yogurt. I plan to make chicken swarmas, and I mix the Greek yogurt with tahini sauce, lemon juice & garlic to make a sort of crema for the swarmas. Then, I treated myself to a Starbucks latte & breakfast sandwich.

The rest of my day is pretty low key just the normal things, laundry, taking care of the cats, meals, reading, maybe find something to stream on TV. My life is boringly predictable, but on the other hand, I'm glad not to have any crises going on or my bipolar getting out of control. Life is pretty okay at the moment

I slept pretty well last night. I took two of my ambien. I’m wondering about taking tow for a few days to catch up on sleep. I’ve really been off my feed, so to speak. Not playing well with others and very irritable. Isolating and not eating. Thinking about contacting my pdoc. But all he’ll do is throw meds at it. Ooohh I want a vacation! I want a cabin up in the north woods by a lake. But man, expensive!

Mountaindewed · Today at 11:35 AM

I'm doing ok today. I went to Platos Closet and didn't find anything and then I went to the international market and got an exotic bottled Starbucks drink. I got coffee and then came home. I was going to make a couple other stops but I was tired. My coffee is sitting fine with me though. Its just my zofran and pantropaloze wear me out. And the dramamine too. I slept fine last night.
