I took the sleep meds. I hate them I feel like I can't breathe but I'm breathing fine. Like a panic attack without the ripping apart of my chest bone. I know I'm not going to die but it feels like if I go to sleep I won't wake up and I'm surprisingly not okay with that.

I just had an amazing gp visit. She’s given me blood pressure meds for the anxiety. It will stop the shaking and lower my heart rate. Bonus is I can take it 3x a day. She’s also given me contrave for appetite suppressant. It’s normally $100 a pack but she had free samples. In exchange I must go see a dietitian. Ughhhh. It’s a small price to pay. Right let me go google Contrave.

She's awesome. I hope she never retires. Not realistic I know but that's my hope anyway.

So now I see Contrave in Australia is contra indicated with bipolar because it has the same ingredient as Wellbutrin. I’m already on an antidepressant so it can’t hurt, right? My gp would have weighed up the pros and cons because she knows I’m bipolar.

@Crazy Hitch: Everybody's different, but i am really sensitive to Wellbutrin. Last time i took it i spent $8000 in three months mostly on online shopping of shoes. Channeling my Inner Imelda Marcos, i guess!

Ouch $8000! That’s painful. I hope you were able to return some of those!

Good morning, slept well. Going to my apartment building's nutrition class later this afternoon, there's a nutritionist coming to do it. Looking forward to that.

Not much else going on today. Just gonna paint, practice violin and cook later.

Good morning. I’m up and half dressed. Today I gotta move all my furniture to the far wall so the electric company can come in and move the fire alarm a few feet. It’s hard wired to the building, so they have to run wires along the ceiling. Then. They are also disabling the kitchen vents so they can sweep them. Uhhhh, what a pain. Fortunately for me all I have to move is two chairs and two end tables. Some people have their tv set up along that wall. Ooo I’d better get going.

@BeyondtheRainbow I HATE mixed! It is the worst. I am glad you can contact your pdoc whenever you need. My pdoc is that way too though he doesn't have mychart. But you can call the office when it's open and he has an emergency cell phone to call after hours, weekends, holidays. If he ever retires, I don't know what I'll do!

@JaneOnceMore - Eek! $8000 in 3 months is an awful bill to pay! I overspend when I'm manic which is one of the major reasons H gets out of sorts if I start skimping on my Seroquel & Lamictal.

I slept pretty decently although my cat Pecan started walking all over me starting around 4 AM, wanting me to get up and feed her. I did pilates this morning instead of walking because it was very foggy out. I plan to go early voting later today. Not that my vote for president means much in Texas, but it would be great if my vote helps get our crazy senator out of office!

@Crazy Hitch

My GP wouldn't put me on Contrave because of my psych meds. I hope it works for you!

@Victoria'smom

What your dad said was awful. That would really stress me out. Just reading it stresses me out. This whole election stresses me out! I'd be mad too. I'm sorry he said that and believes what he does.
