Bipolar Check-in #85

OH @Victoria'smom I am SO sorry. I can't imagine what you are feeling right now.

Don't forget that we're always here if you need to talk.

@BeyondtheRainbow thank you. I have no words right now. I have therapy then a long train ride if they let me on.

@Victoria'smom I'm so sorry to hear, that's horrible I hope therapy helps with the initial shock some and the T goes as smooth (as the T can go anyway).

I shoved it in my team's face this morning that I've got a spot close to the top of a waiting list for an apartment outside the catchment zone and that I do have plans to call the property manager and let them know I am still extremely interested. I have one more course to pass before I can take the on-snow test for being a certified ski instructor too (turns out that is the only mandatory one before the test, and I took all the free optional ones before. whoops).

I do need to get on the snow first. Tomorrow looks nice enough for a half day. Screw "not being able to drive." I'm going to write down everything I do, too, because they think I don't do shyt during the day.

Waiting to be called back for physical therapy on my back.

@Victoria'smom - I am so sorry. What a terrible shock. (((HUGS)))

I am doing well this morning, happy even It was 22F outside when I woke up! The snow from yesterday hadn't yet melted though it's due to melt by this afternoon. Still going to get to freezing tonight. I am so done with cold weather!

Because of the cold, I did a pilates video. I had some muffins I baked yesterday with carrots, green apple, coconut, walnuts, raisins for breakfast this morning, very tasty! I read for an hour with the SAD lamp, did laundry, and drew 4 pictues (in the Creative Corner).

I hope everyone has a wonderul day!

Victoria’s mom I’m so sorry.

Of course I mixed up days so I won't be getting therapy until at next Thursday. I won't be on much for the rest of this month and probably The first week of next month.

Hug your kids close.

Saw the physical therapist today. I have homework. We did a lot of stretching and different positions with legs bent or straight. She pushed on my back and asked if that hurts several times. (YES!!). I go back in a week.

Next day anxiety from Mucinex is so legit. Its even a listed side effect online. I've been coughing yellow mucus into kleenexs lately and my mom keeps asking if I want to see my pcp. But this is like wellbutrin type anxiety from the mucinex.

@Victoria'smom

I'm so sorry for your loss. I will hug my daughter close... (if she let's me. She hates hugs. Lol)

@Mountaindewed

I've been taking mucinex for several days now and noticed my anxiety levels have gone up a tad, but we also just increased my wellbutrin dose, so I don't know where this sudden anxiety is from. It's manageable and tolerable, just really annoying. I hope your anxiety subsides soon.

I'm so sorry @Victoria'smom, that's so hard for you to go through

We got snow here too @Blueberrybook !! Very rare for North Carolina too, but even rarer for Texas! I have a friend that sent me so many snow pictures from Houston! Hope you had a good birthday too!

I am finally coming out of my depression. I am still sleeping way too much and missing a bunch of things, but I also need to realize that I need rest, I have been through a whole lot. I am having financial woes too @June08 - I am so sorry about your car, I hope you come up with a solution soon and feel better as well.

I have to really find a part-time job to supplement my income. I am so bummed that I lost both my jobs and my boyfriend, but I am getting over the heartbreak day by day. Good news is I am pushing forward!

Good to see you lady shadow.

I’m getting worried about my latuda, it’s getting down to the wire. I choose not to go during the cold spell tho one prescription was ready and my latuda was saying something about insurance info. Today was finally above sub zero temperatures. The girl was new and pretty arrogant and told me it would be ready in 20 minutes. 30 minutes later while watch the new girl sniper and tease all the males that came by and be rude to the females I asked again. They didn’t have it in stock and have to order it! An older woman had come up and said there was a computer snafu. I’ve only got two days left! I told the girl sincerely to have a nice day and you could see the surprise, she wasn’t expecting me to be nice to her. But you know, kindness! But ohhh I hope it gets here, and what a pain having to go out in the cold again to go pick it up!

Wow I'm so sorry @Nammu !! It's really good to see you too!

You know I have the same problem at Walgreens, and they are about to close all of them I heard, so I am going to need a new pharmacy. Did you know it took them two weeks to get me all my medicine as prescribed by the hospital? And no reassurances, no excuses just nope it just took two weeks! I really hope it works out with your pharmacy though and you get your Latuda! Sucks that you have to go back out in the cold though! Praying that the weather warms up for you!

Caleb finally made reservations at the hot tub gardens! Hour and a half! They’re outside and have no roofs! It’s supposed to be 30F. So way warmer than today!

I'm very confused about what my body is up to when it comes to my psych meds. I've been taking the med my pdoc gave me to help stop muscle twitching since Saturday night (it's a twice a day pill). But today muscles all over my body-mainly upper body and face-have been twitching all day. So, I don't know if these twitches are related to my psych meds or if my muscles just felt the need to twitch a lot today. I have also been really itchy since yesterday. This could be dry skin from the cold, but I am going to skip a few doses of the med for muscle twitching to see if the med is the cause of the itching.

Yesterday, my coworker (who does not know about my diagnosis) made a joke about a student's handwriting being bipolar because the student's handwriting looked very different as their work progressed. It caught me off guard, and I think my coworker noticed, because she tried bo back track saying she wasn't making fun of the disorder. I just refocused the conversation on what we were trying to figure out.

My students start building something for a lab tomorrow so that should be fun. They'll be disappointed when we have to return to taking notes next week.

I dont know if i could take Mucinex. That booger ad guy kinda scares me!

It's pretty cold outside. Good thing I got my snugglie on today and it's keeping me warm.

I'm doing well. I slept well last night once I fell asleep. I had some trouble falling asleep because my lower legs were itchy, maybe dry from the cold? I don't have a rash or anything and didn't need to shave that badly. I scratched my left leg so hard, I had scrapes on it this morning.

I did pilates, showered, had breakfast, read for an hour using the SAD lamp. I was pretty profilic drawing this morning, did 6 pictures (all in the Creative Corner Forum). I hope everyone has a great day!

Time for a new thread!
