We’re going to a school carnival this morning. It’s my fiancé’s old primary school. Then we’re going to go do grocery shopping. Then we’re going to visit my partner’s dad in hospital.

I’m sorry crazy hitch.
Moose that sounds so hard. I hope the lowered dose works. Raspberrie your med choices sound limited too. I hope there a solution. Watercolor is hard. Ehh my stuff was so so. I’ll do much better next week when it’s mixed media. Already have a fledgling idea for my work. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Possible trigger:
Seems more like a stomach bug tbh. I took a couple dramamine. I got most of my room cleaned. My closet organized. My laundry done. All I have to do is put away one load. I watched non news TV and listened to music. I took my blood pressure for the first time since yesterday morning and its 153/100. No one really seems worried though. So idk. The nurse on the phone was just like "take it once a day not all the time." And they rescheduled my CT scan to an ultrasound the Wednesday before thanksgiving. __________________ I'm Blue Last edited by Mountaindewed; Today at 05:52 PM.. |

All the political news stories especially were causing me more anxiety & panic every time I read or heard them, and I finally just decided ENOUGH!
I have not read or watched the news all week! I have to say it has helped quite a bit. I do feel somewhat uninformed about the world but not having that anxiety creep up with every headline I read is a bit of a relief. I've only gone to the weather site all week and that's it. I do feel like something of a bad citizen for choosing to not know what's going on, but whether I know or not, it's politics, and it's going to keep happening whether I am up to date on current events or not. I don't know if I will manage another week unplugged from news, but I'm going to try. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything.

I tried being unplugged but I couldn’t do it. I watch late night talk shows and they do highlights of what’s happening and I read online from NPR. But that’s it. No tv news. I’ve taken to watching the late night shows with the sound off and captions on. Seems more manageable that way. I feel bad too I can’t do more than that but I can’t. So don’t feel bad blueberry, I think a lot of people have unplugged.

I had gabapentin 100s last month in my blister packs. I called my Pdoc after hours line to see if they could call me in some 100s as I’m almost out and my new blister packs don’t have it in them because the pharmacist knew I had the 300s from walgreens. Walgreens says the insurance said the 100s were already filled at another pharmacy and can’t be filled again till the end of the month. I only have 4 100s left. I don’t know if my regular pharmacist ran them through the insurance by mistake? Or if the insurance is thinking of the 300s that just got filled Sunday? All I know is I don’t want to go through withdrawals and I’m not taking those 300s again!

I stopped watching the news and avoid any news articles and stuff, I started doing that several years ago when I was stressed to the point of breakdown over the Covid pandemic and all the news. And my mental health is better for it cause I’m not stressed out 24/7 about things I literally can not control. I avoid any news headlines and stuff with like such idk what the word is but I’m really serious about it. For awhile I felt bad like I was not being a good citizen but I’m informed enough to vote and that’s all I really have control over so other than that I avoid news/news articles like the plague. I’m just not the type of person whose anxiety and paranoia can handle all the horrible news. Most people can’t. And I spiral into panic anytime I would be watching it so I made the executive decision to cut it out of my life for my peace of mind. I can’t control 99% of it, I did my part in voting. I’m not gonna choose to sit and watch a screen that does literally nothing but make me stressed and or angry. __________________ “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

I practiced ukulele for about an hour this evening. It really helped my anxiety. I was feeling very anxious and panicky. But playing ukulele for an hour completely got rid of those feeling.
