Bipolar Check-in #83

So I'm doing better, I guess. I start medication Friday. I see sucky pdoc Friday too. I go to the doctor tomorrow. My hair once again needs to be cut. I threw all my money towards my credit card to hopefully spike my credit score. We have to do the same with h credit. The broker is still fighting the housing authority to give us the apartment. So we'll know by Friday. My therapist wants to talk about me not leaving my room or the house.

I’ve decided I’m going to bite the bullet and go buy a scale this morning. Our scale in our bathroom is not accurate if I go by my gps scale. I’ll try not weigh myself every day (tempting) but rather do it once a week instead. I’ve looked at a few online but they’re pricey even though they’re on special. Ughhh.

Am I depressed after mania? I made a post about it

So I found a scale for $55 but they were having a special for members marked down to $20. So I quickly signed up lol.

I’m worried about my 5 year old son. Every day this week has been a struggle to get him to school. He cries every morning and says he doesn’t want to go. He says he’s being bullied. Kids are calling him ugly, poor a “sook” (someone who sulks when they don’t get their own way). Thing is I don’t know if my son is doing anything to draw attention to himself. None the less I’ve left a message with the school asking his teacher to please ring me. Hopefully we can put an end to this because it’s not nice having to drag him out the car every morning …

I felt grim this afternoon but i just told myself that it's just a little mild depression and it was easier to bear. I played Scrabble most of the day. Had some good games. It's getting dark early already and there is the time change on Sunday, so it'll be even earlier. Then the election on Tuesday. I'm Canadian but our country is allied so closely with the US i am still concerned about it.

I'm so anxious about the election and what's going to happen it makes me feel nauseous. 🤢 Seriously, like I just want to puke. I'm happy we voted already so that day we can just drop our daughter off at school and pick her up and spend the rest of the day at home!

I wish we were allowed to talk about politics on here. 😔

@Crazy Hitch

Sorry to hear about your son. That really sucks. He's only five and he's already being bullied? That's really young. Poor kid. I hope you get it figured out.

@raspberrytorte:

The guidelines say to "limit your discussion of politics." It doesn't say you can't mention them at all. Sorry to hear you have such anxiety re the election. I can't believe Elon Musk is supporting Trump. I thought he had more sense than that. I caught the end of Kamala Harris' speech today. I thought she did very well. She seems reasonable, well-balanced, passionate, and genuine.

The doctor wants me on a steroid for my cough and if I can't handle that then an antibiotic. The steroid is Presidone its not the pack of pills like before. I've been on it before and its not a great time buts it manageable. Its just this dumb phlegm that keeps clogging up my throat. I can cough some of it out but mainly its just stuck and I am doing this weird *** wheezing thing.

She claims you can't have pnemunoia or anyrhing without a fever.

Not sure if this whole spacing out of anti-anxiety pills, that my psychiatrist recommended, is working out for me. I was going through awful diazepam withdrawal around 6PM. Usually I take 20mg around 1PM. So I ended up taking a diazepam. Then earlier I was going through some awful seroquel withdrawal because I'm used to taking 50mg in the AM and 50mg at noon. I was shaking and wanted to rip my face off, so I ended up taking 100mg of seroquel so I'd stop shaking and felt better once that kicked in.

I don't know. My anxiety has skyrocketed because of the election on Tuesday. I'm freaking the fck out about it, and I know it's a pointless thing for me to waste my energy on. I voted. I did my part. What else can I do?

Possible trigger:

My husband and I were talking about it, and he said he's not too worried about us if a certain orange one wins or a certain group of people take over the government because we're not immigrants, but I'M worried still! The orange one hinted at mentally ill people being "dangerous". And there's still the concern about SSI and SSDI. I don't know what we would do. I'd have no choice but to find a part-time job and deal with it. I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack just writing this!

I'm hoping everything will be fine. I'm sure it will be. It's just that a certain group of followers/supporters REALLY scare me.
