I fell asleep last night at 6. And I woke up at 4. I said to myself you are getting in the shower and getting a haircut. So I did. I'm happy with how it looks.

Looking back on things my mental health started improving around the middle of December. Which is when the increase in Prestiq would have kicked in. I told my dope pdoc thats all l needed.

Now I'm applying for work and going to the grocery store at 2:30 in the afternoon. So I guess just eff him.

He won't last long. I have a feeling. He will get impeached or assinated or just have a heart attack or something. Hang on.

Saw my allergist today. Here’s part of what he wrote. I got bloodwork done that he requested today.

“Adverse food reaction, initial encounter
Angioedema, initial encounter
Unclear etiology she has had multiple reactions to multiple different foods and food products. She does report improved symptoms after stopping consuming blue dye. There does raise quesitons of HAE or possible MCAS but symptoms do not fit entirely. She would like to introduce fish. Had negative testing but is concerned regaring reintroduction.”

“-continue to avoid blue dye and vinegar
-will check tryptase and HAE labs
-discussed fish introduction, she would like to introduce but nor comfortable introducing at home
-will check serum values, if negative and not comfortable introducing at home would do observed feed with fish in clinic.”

I haven't even been reading or watching the news any more because of that. It was increasing my anxiety & causing me panic attacks and I was worrying about it before falling asleep at night. Maybe I'll just keep my head buried in the sand for the next 4 years...

I go back to work on Tuesday. I have some lesson plans to put up but it’s a bit tricky with my son being so hyperactive! Will go to the mall this morning and see if he’s a bit calmer this afternoon.

liness!!!!!

stupid stupid lines, panicking out vdont exist.. stupid stupid me!! panicking and i dont exist..... of course that means nothing. but its still my fault. I choose to see the lines and I know it doesn't matter but it just makes me feel better if I don't touch them! I get sick if i DO touch them!

Possible trigger:


i just had a good post but my computer is I guess literally coming apart so that was fun to fix just to say au revoir.

that's all folks.

i don't knwo what's goin g on. i'm telling you, they're after me, and it's not pretty.

You were Mother Nature's son
Someone to whom I could relate
Your needle and your damage done
Remains a sordid twist of fate
Now I'm trying to wake you up
To pull you from the liquid sky
'Cause if I don't we'll both end up
With just your songs that say goodbye


tilted axis? we know. Full tilt. send it

Ok. So I can see why they say not to eat sweets with this stomach condition. I got this mini cotton candy cake yesterday from walmart and I had 2 pieces and I've been in stomach pain and puking all afternoon. It hasn't happened with any of the safe foods on my list.

But yeahh just feeling crappy right now

Just walked out of the movie wicked, just not my cup of tea. So cliche.

As for the dictator and his oligarch minions. I’ve stopped listening to the news and only reading NPR articles. It keeps me informed without triggering me. But I don’t read late at night. We have two years of his getting his way then the midterms and hopefully impeachment. It’s scary, but I say to myself, you can get though this. Two yrs! Two years!

You actually walked out? My grandma didn't even walk out of Pulp Fiction and practically everyone in the theatre was leaving. My mom did ask my grandma a few times if she wanted to leave.

Yup, I stood it for 30 minutes. Then I just couldn’t do anymore.

Yeah the movie seems pretty dumb to me. And the advertisment was crazy. They had 2 Starbucks drinks named after Glinda and the witch.

That movie gave me a night terror because it freaked me out so badly. I saw like a minute of the ear part then I fell asleep and had a night terror an hour later

I knew Wicked was going to be awful, just by the way it was advertised. I had seen the Broadway show years earlier and while it wasn't the worst thing I had seen, it wasn't that great either. I liked Lion King on Broadway better. Sorry you had a bad experience @Nammu -

A better day than yesterday, I got up around 3pm (horrible), and managed to work and make a few dollars, so I am grateful. I just have to stay in a grateful mindset, even though it is hard after losing so much. I feel good though and positive for the weekend ahead - my sponsor will be here Saturday to go to my meeting with me and have lunch, really looking forward to that.

I have my apartment, a nice roof over my head, all my stuff at home, my amazing car that I was able to fix, and all my friends and my amazing mom and dad in my life. I am so grateful things didn't turn out worse. Looking ahead to tomorrow and better days ahead! Plus, the weather is going to be warming up too!

Just got notice that my meds are ready! I’ll go tomorrow when it’s warmer. Wish it would warm up enough to wash the car. My car is sooo dirty.

I just watched an hour long YouTube video of an interview with this MCAS expert doctor. Very interesting but I hope I don’t have it! My allergist took 6 vials at least of blood for various tests. I hope they come back at least by Monday along with a portal message from him interpreting the results!

I managed to get a few lessons up. Still waiting on a colleague to email me some work. There’s only so much I can do when I’m missing the actual worksheets. Causing me unnecessary anxiety.

Hello, been a busy day today

Been dissociating a lot today. Have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow morning. Idk if I should mention the dissociation and panic lately. I doubt there’s anything that can be done for it.
