Hi everyone.
I've spent a lot of the last two evenings doing school work but I'm still not caught up. A ton of extra work got dropped on to teachers over the past two weeks so this plus unexpected schedule changes are taking up all of my time. Hopefully, I'll be able to dig myself out of this work pit this weekend. As much as I don't like taking work home, I am noticing my mental health is better because I am occupied with something and it's productive. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My fatigue has been REALLY bad in the mornings so I'm looking forward to sleeping in. My energy is pretty good in the evenings though-go figure. __________________ Lamotrigine: 300 mg Bupropion: 150 mg Risperidone: 3 mg |

Good morning, I slept good, 9 hours. Have therapy today in about 3 hours. Spent 30 minutes this morning outside in just a hoodie. It’s 35 degrees outside. It felt good though. It woke me up and helped my mood.

I was up at 5:30. Talked with Caleb while at Panera. Cat is on my lap now that I’m home. Need to clean up a bit before Caleb comes for the weekend.

I'm having a difficult morning. I keep finding myself easily frustrated and agitated by things that normally wouldn't bother me. I'm due for my period, so I'm hoping it's PMS. It seems like this happened before my last cycle too. I used to just have physical symptoms as PMS --sore boobs, backache, cramps, and now it's both physical AND mental. I'm supposed to go to the library with my daughter later today, and I hope my mood improves by then.
On top of everything else, I stubbed my little toe badly on a doorframe yesterday. It's all bruised and I suspect fractured too. I've fractured that toe 5 or 6 times already. The pain kept waking me last night, so I didn't get the best sleep either. I tried taping it to the toe next to it, but that made it hurt worse, so I am going around with it untaped. I was bad this morning and took Advil for the pain, and I know I'm not supposed to take NSAIDs but Tylenol does nothing for it. I skipped exercise today because of it, and that didn't help my mood a bit. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything.

Is It a bad sign I'm getting use to it all?

I woke up at 3 from a werid dream feeling sick cold and anxious. I needed dayquil, zofran and valium. Then I fell back asleep for a bit. I went to Target and Kohls around 10 with a mask on. It wore me out. I'm at home now just hanging out in bed. My anxiety is ok now. I just got a hat from Target. I was too tired to look at anything else and it was really crowded with Halloween shoppers and employees trying to rush out the Christmas stuff.
This thing just goes on and on though. This is day 8. I got my groceries delivered. My cats have food and I have sparkling water. __________________ I'm Blue Last edited by Mountaindewed; Today at 12:07 PM.. |

I had a good therapy appointment. We did more EMDR. It seemed to help. I didn’t dissociate on my walk home so that’s good. I stopped in the library on my way back and checked out two books. I see her again November 15th.
Just ate lunch. I had chicken pasta and peas on the side. The peas are in effort to start eating more vegetables. It’s a start. I feel pretty good. The walk was nice. I didn’t dissociate either way there or back. Which was a relief. Maybe the colder weather helped. I tend to be worse with my anxiety and just everything in general during the summer months when it’s hot out. We talked about coping skills for dissociation and about splashing cold water on my face or using ice packs as part of the Tipp DBT skill. And how practicing violin is a good one too because it’s very grounding. You feel the strings, the bow, the vibrations. __________________ “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

N3 is looking at an apartment as I type this. He gave me a thumbs up emoji when I asked how his 2.5 hour physics exam went last night. Grades for the exam should be available Tuesday. If he gets into u of m he’ll start as a sophomore!

I had a nasty migraine last night. I was up every 2 hours for at least an hour needing advil or ginger ale/crackers for nausea or just a new position in bed. And then I had nightmares which I've had a lot of the last several days. It was not a good night and I am so tired now. I'm also feeling irritable and generally yucky.
My goal for the day is to wash one load of clothes. We'll see but I really need to do this. One load. Not that bad. I hope. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

One of the main reasons I got it is because I can pay it off monthly with my telephone provider and it’s not too expensive like that per month. It’s interest free so I don’t pay any more. And I know they last because my old one lasted 7 years! You should totally get a Fitbit for your walking. You’ll love it! |

Hey all. Woke up about 4:30 and got out of bed 5:30. Not going to shower because I showered late yesterday. Showering is an issue for me and it has been for a while.
Had my 1 cup of coffee for the day and ate an apple for breakfast. Hopefully that will help with the nausea / prevent it from happening. Today we will take my son swimming and then will likely go to the mall. I have to be careful of what I eat. Must stay away from bread and pastries. I’ve lost 1kg in 3 days which is likely just a fluke. Nothing to write home about. |

I bought a pair of mediumish colored purple and white Nike Dunks with my gift card. They were $122 after tax! But I don't want anything or need anything else and my finances are ok. Theres no way I'd get these without found money though. I have about $25 left on my card.
To be honest, it was kinda creepy out there today. Everyone seemed and looked really worried. __________________ I'm Blue Last edited by Mountaindewed; Today at 04:33 PM.. |

N3 is going to look at another apt but he and the landlord are playing phone tag.

I have a Fitbit sense and really like it. It's nice that Fitbit batteries last longer than an apple watch. And, it charges pretty fast. I'm not a huge fan of how the app looks compared to how it did for years though.

I got another set of earbuds 78% off. Hopefully no one steals this pair because I would like to listen to music. The psychosis clinic didn't call and told me to wait. I made an appointment for the regular Dr. After a 23 yr wait. Hopefully they'll help and not stress about my mental health. My therapist called and scheduled a Monday appointment. I'm worried. Luckily it wasn't today.

I had the sugar cookie tea and it tasted like mildly sweet warm bathwater.
Lipton makes a caffeine free herbal watermelon cold brew iced tea but its hard to find. But you just fill a pitcher with ice and water and add the tea bag and it makes a gallon. I just drank 3 Bai waters which have like 45mg of caffeine each. __________________ I'm Blue |
