Bipolar Check-in #83

Hello, I slept good last night. Got 7 hours plus I took a short nap this morning. So far I’ve done yoga, meditated, journaled, walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes, and changed my violin strings to a really high quality set my friend got me as a gift several months ago. Feeling pretty good. I felt like crap yesterday cause I only got 3 hours of sleep the night before. But I feel better after sleeping. I also talked on the phone to my friend for like an hour yesterday and it was nice to catch up and talk about music as he’s also a musician.

Gonna practice violin later. Other than that not much going on. My apartment is pretty organized right now so the only thing I really need to do is the dishes. I will clean thoroughly on Monday and do laundry then too.

One of my cats (Mustachio) cuddled up on me last night. It was very calming cause I had a weighted blanket on and she laid on top of that on my lap purring.

I had to reschedule yesterday’s therapy appointment, cause I didn’t feel up to doing EMDR on 3 hours of sleep. It just felt like too much.

I bought a case for my Nintendo Switch. It arrives tomorrow. Should make gaming more comfortable.

Reading a few different books right now. Two fantasy series, one fall romance book, and one biography.

And watching a bunch of shows. The Witcher, Naruto, Supernatural and Pokemon Horizons.

So I have plenty to do. I might go get a caramel macchiato with the leftover money on my gift card tomorrow at the Italian bakery/cafe. Mostly to get out of the house. Drink it while there and read.

I woke up really late this morning at 8:30. I was only up for maybe 20 minutes last night while I dealt with my weird anxiety which is gone now. I tend to sleep in late this time of year until daylight savings ends.

Today I am kinda down, but its not terrible. I just feel tired mainly. I'm lying in bed just eating a bag of apple slices. My stomach feels totally normal nausea and pain wise today.

Me too, isnt that funny how that works? Its like we're cows. Farmers always complain that cows dont understand having to get up an hour earlier when DST starts!

If it was not for pictures and a few memories I would not remember being on the trip. Last October I went back to work after having worked in 11 years. I was scared and my anxiety was through the roof but I was bound and determined to work my butt off and I did and it paid off I was promoted from a basic assembler to a hydraulics builder. I started to change for the better now a few months ago my dad fell he was not hurt except for some bruises. He had just moved out to Indiana from Idaho. I said yes and put in my notice at work which was hard to do but I felt I needed to help my dad out. The move has been the best thing I have done since my wife died my anxiety has been seriously been reduced my depression is not as bad I do grieve though. I went to a music festival 2 weeks ago in Louisville with my daughter well the band I wanted to see got rained. Long story I got comped tickets to a festival in Sacramento I said screw it and got everything I needed booked and off i wentSo yesterday was the band I wanted to see i almost chickened out I am 51 and have never been to a concert by myself. I said F it and went. I actually talked to strangers and just explored all around and i even got on the rail for Slayer. I had a great time yeah some moments of sadness every so often thinking about how Crystal would of liked this. Cypress Hill had a lady doing sign language thought that was cool. I am enjoying this growth i am experiencing. Bipolar Check-in #83

I'm having another of those dizzy/nauseous/rolling carpet/blurry vision/hair growing backwards/sludge for brain episodes again. Ughhh. I feel really hot and it's only about 60F (I mean, I am inside, but even outside I had to strip off the hoodie.)

I think I'm just gonna get into summer sleepy clothes and lay down. I've been slightly go-go-go for a few days so actually just chilling might help.

I'm not feeling 100% physically today. I'm really tired and kinda achy and I just coughed up a bunch of post nasal drip. I've only had one valium though since I'm already so tired and lacking energy, but my anxiety is fine.

I went from staying inside my house for weeks to going out everywhere this week. So idk. My stomach is still fine though and I'm not going crazy for my stomach med.

Thanks so much for replying. She reckons that the average amount of sessions people take is 3, but given it’s $150 per session I don’t believe I’ll be doing any more 😔

Making chicken in the air fryer. There’s nobody to do anything with today.
