It was the green noise that woke me up. It caused the exact same dream as last night. Plus my niece was screaming. Something about pizza. Then she banged my door opened and waved at me and walked away. Everytime they are around makes me more glad I saved my mental health by having surgery because I really don't like kids.
Yeah not sure what to do about this stomach ache. I think I've taken what I could today. Something has been giving me a combo of diarrhea and constipation and also sleep problems.

I'm doing ok this morning. I slept decently last night. I did my full workout before 6. I hear the words "prediabetes" and I think of what my dad went through and it lights a fire under my *** to lose weight and get into shape.
I hope today isnt my yearly at home medicare visit. I get a $100 Walmart gift card so its sort of worth doing it once a year but the nurse asks all these questions and looks at each of my prescription and OTC meds and asks why they are for. Then she checks my blood pressure and weight and then she asks some cognitive questions. Its all just really annoying. I'm kinda anxious today but I think its just because its Saturday. The visit isnt for another week or 2. So I can just catch up on my TV show today without worrying.

I'm frustrated, angry and don't know how to deal. I'm safe but not okay.

I was getting these emails and I was worried I was getting hacked and I finally asked my mom about them and she said its legit stuff she is doing because of all the things Musk is doing.
Well. I'm not getting hacked. Thats good news. My throat feels tired right now. I'm not vaccinated for the fllu because it gives me bad mental health side effects. I had 5 appointments this week. I'm not sure what the chances are of me getting anything. I keep having this dream of getting a lot of medical tests done by weird doctors and that has never happened. I had GI stuff when I was a teenager in 2008-2010 but it was just from anxiety. This legit stuff didn't start until like 2019. Its just a weird dream. I feel down today but its just low energy tired stuff. I don't want anything. Just to lie down.

I'm on a high dose of Seroquel too 350 mg/day. However, cutting your Seroquel is a dangerous propositon, you know, just inviting mania and paranoia to slip right in. Really, you may need to start tapering your benzo, scary as that is. Or the wellbutrin isn't agreeing with you. Wellbutrin may have made me a bit forgetful as well, if I recall (though it's hard to say, I've been on so many meds). Raspberry, I don't think you should cut your Seroquel without discussing it with your pdoc first. Just wanting the best for you ![]()

I didn’t want to get up and face the day. I woke up at 10 but stayed in bed reviewing my dream, it was a pretty cool fascinating one. We were doing art in a class. Then my brother took me to an apartment of his girlfriend ( in real life I don’t have a brother) and ICE came for them. They took me to a residential art school.
In the dream there was like 5 feet of snow. That was the reason I didn’t want to get up, snow. I didn’t want to see how much we got. But we didn’t get that much, thankfully. I was able to sleep well last night. It was cold and that always helps. Gonna be cold for the next week. Subzero cold. But I’m gonna have to go out in it. Monday I have my therapy appointment and Tuesday and Thursday I have art class. Brr 🥶

Good morning
I’m just plodding along. Not great weather today. Pouring with rain. Think I’m going to put some jeans on. Haven’t worn jeans in forever but it’s a bit chilly outside. A cold front has come through. It makes a change from the super hot weather at the beginning of the week. According to my scale I have lost 2 kg in 2 days. I don’t trust that. Whilst Wegovy might be good it’s not THAT good lol. My gp said I can expect to lose 1 kg a week so I’ll go by that estimate. Freaking stuff is so darn expensive I was seriously watching what I ate yesterday. It forces you to diet otherwise what’s the point of spending all that money. Think I’m going grocery shopping thi morning. Hopefully I don’t spend too much money. Kind of broke until payday again. My insurance was a lot of money that I had to pay back and it stuffed up this pay cycle plu I had to get my eldest son a birthday present when he turned 25. Such is life 🙂 |

It's been a pretty low-key day. Today is H's birthday, so I'm planning to make a nice dinner this evening. I did pilates this morning, video really worked the arms! Showered, ate, read with the SAD lamp. I returned some books to the library and picked up some holds I had there. I drew a bit. My jaguar came out pretty well but my other picture was meh. (in creative corner). I hope everyone has a great day!

@Crazy Hitch - I know you said you are self-conscious to walk for exercise outside. Have you thought of doing some exercise indoors? I do pilates, and you don't need any equipment really, not even a mat if you have carpeting. There is a fantastic free YouTube series called "Move with Nicole". There is a playlist of 10 of her beginner videos, but some are much harder than pure beginner as I still struggle with them, but 2 of her beginner videos are a great place to start. The easiest is her Absolute Beginner Pilates video:
And once that gets a little easier the next one (this one has a really good arms workout) is: The videos are absolutely free and even if you suck at coordination (as I do!) you can still follow along fairly easily. True, you won't burn as many calories as walking, but you will burn some, and pilates is fantastic for toning. Another thought, you could buy some light dumbbells, 2 or 5 lb. if you don't have any. There are a lot of arm exercises you can do with dumbbells, plenty of vidoes online regarding that. Just a thought. If you can get moving with exercise, you will begin to speed up your metabolism as well which really helps with weight loss.

Does the flu start with real bad body aches? Thats my main symptom right now. My throat feels like it has a slight tickle in it and my nose is running a bit. But its these muscle aches mainly.

Oh my goodness. The master bathroom sink is clogged. Bad. H is trying to de-clog it, no luck so far. It's almost been too much - first the washing machine, then the refrigerator, then the car, now the master bathroom sink. All of these things have broken down/malfunctioned within the past week. And on H's birthday too. He's not very happy, went to the hardware store for something. I was going to make a nice dinner tonight, but now I have no clue when we'll be eating. I tell you, I have been fairly stable of late, but this last one thing has got me nearly in tears. Well, I know it doesn't help I'm 2 days before my period is due. Please, God, let H get this fixed soon and me to calm down. I am so sick of everything in this house breaking all at once!!

Had a good day. In the morning I took a walk to the store. Then some in the afternoon I took a nap with one of my cats. Then I practiced violin for an hour. I also read a lot today. Like 3 hours total possibly more, my focus has been pretty good today. Tomorrow I have a violin lesson

Not much to report on my end. I was feeling a little down so withdrew into myself a bit. I also just wasn't physically feeling the greatest, but I got an IV this morning so am feeling significantly better. I was able to go for a walk for the first time in almost two weeks today. The person who put my IV in wasn't very good though so, after she tried twice, a second person had to come take care of it (so, three pokes total...). My roommate has been getting on my nerves more than normal, which sometimes can be a mood shift but could also just be me being in a bad mood these past few days. Because seroquel has helped with my depression, I am taking 12.5 mg tonight and tomorrow to see if that helps lift my mood/make me feel less irritable. I was also dumb and had an energy drink later in the day, which has me wired, so maybe a little seroquel will help counteract that.

I have something I think. I have a cough, sore throat, muscle aches, some congestion, and cold sweats. No fever though. I had a lot of doctors appointments this week. I could have gotten it from one of those.
I feel like I'm going to go insane. I keep having all these weird memories of people doing medical tests on me. Maybe it did happen and I blocked it out? A lot of shyt happened when I was 13 that I can't remember. I just have the flu or something and this nonstop cough

About 3 months ago I was doing a big about 25 min physical therapy work out. Then I got the flu and haven't went back. But I went to the Dr and I had lost 12 lbs in 4 months. I'm not eating much since I took myself off doxepin. Idk what I'm going to do when I'm taken off clonazapam. I guess go back on doxepin. Before I was medicated for bipolar I was in an avid reader. I would even read like 5 books at a time. A lot of non-fiction. I read my history book from college about the beginning of America to right before the Civil War. It was horrible what we did to the the natives and blacks and indentured servants. I read it like 4 times. I'm hoping getting off clonazapam gives me the ability to read again. |
