June08 it’s fine if your sleep schedule is off at the moment. You have a long break. You only need to start cutting back to a more regular routine about a week before you go back to work. Just enjoy it 😊

Have my pdoc appointment this morning. Really shouldn’t have it in the am, as I’m never quite all there. Slept fine, but I’m not a morning person. No idea what I wanted to talk about.

Dreams, had mouthful of rocks, speaking Native American language in chant and went to a candy store that sold jelly beans as large as orange slices and instead of flavored they gave you emotions. I picked out a purple one called calm.

It's just been a rollercoaster of emotions lately. I am doing okay this morning, waiting for Pest Control to show up even though I can't go out all day. I don't know what causes me to drown the way I do, but it's definitely extreme.

I do hope everyone has a good day today - the weather is hot here, I miss having my windows open. I just wish the loneliness in my heart wasn't so overpowering or overwhelming.

Stuck at Tim Hortons. The delivery truck has blocked my car in.

I’m all ready just killing time. Exam begins in two hours. Not too anxious but not too calm. I really hope I pas

Painting class I taught today went well. I slept well last night. Later tonight from 6pm to 8pm I have a volunteer shift with the rescue kitties. After that I don’t really have much going on until Friday when I have my psychiatrist appointment , therapy appointment and am going to the movie theater.

I feel good, been playing one of my games on my phone today and enjoying that.

Excited to go see the new How to Train Your Dragon movie on Friday.

Got about 5 hours to kill till I have to leave for my shift. Gonna spend some of it reading

Pdoc went fine, short but then I’m doing well. We discussed the seroquel. I said some days Jim really thick headed in the morning and have trouble waking up, can I just drop the seroquel? He suggested I cut it in half. So 12.5 mg. Try that and see how it goes. Otherwise we could try lowering the latuda

I'm doing pretty good today. I did pilates this morning, and then I had to go get bloodwork. Painting didn't go very well today unfortunately, but that happens. Finally I painted a chocolate eclair just to have painted something today. This afternooon I have a neurologist appt. I have a lot of appts. this week, already saw the dentist yesterday. I see the pdoc on Thursday. I really don't like having so many appts. in one week.

(((HUGS))) to everyone and hope you have a great day!

Feeling a little off today -- can't really explain it. Just want the work day to be over.

[Crazy Hitch]

The worst part about being sick with this head cold is the overall lethargy. I feel sooooo tired. Can’t wait to drop my son off at school and come home and just sleep!

Since I had to cancel my IV appointment, I've had a pretty slow day. I've mainly been watching TV and have seen SO many commercials for bipolar meds. Mainly vraylar. Some of the vraylar commercials are for bipolar disorder but some advertise the med as one to support an antidepressant if the antidepressant isn't working as well as was hoped. I wonder how well it works as a support for an antidepressant.

Tried doing laundry today. The washer didn't drain the water as well as it should so everything was extra soaked after that, and the dryer is hit or miss and I missed. Twice. (as in paid $3 for a washer that didn't work right and for two rounds of the dryer that did shyt). So everything has been air drying in my studio on this cool, wet day. There's another dryer two floors up, but I tried that one once and it's even worse. There's a laundromat across the street, but am told they're more expensive, but if I don't have to try to find a place to air dry all my laundry (I have to get creative), it might be worth it.

Made a grocery store run today too. Here basically your options are Market Basket (preferred--cheapest prices, got whatever ya need, local), Hannaford (more expensive), Shaw's (most expensive), and Walmart (which is so far away the bus that goes there doesn't even run a normal schedule). Of course there's no MBs in walking distance, Shaw's is a 15 minute walk, and Hannaford is like a 45 minute walk if you know the shortcuts. So ended up walking to Hannaford thinking "I'm getting literally just mustard, chili powder, tea, and some pedialyte packets, and since I'm not getting anything that needs to be refrigerated I can hang out and read if it's not raining so I'll bring my (750-ish page) book." Nope. Two bags. Some stuff to be frozen/fridged (fun flavors of yogurt were on sale, couldn't resist a couple, felt the need to get some frozen cherries to pop in with them too). Fun walk back.

Can this week hurry up?? I get packages and stuff delivered to my mom's because most shipping companies don't have access to inside the building and will just leave your shyt outside the door on a busy street. My desk and chair are over there and I want to set them up soooo badly!

I decided to step back from my volunteering job until the autumn. I’m just struggling really badly with anxiety about leaving the house and dissociation badly. I don’t want to dissociate on the bus and end up half way across another city accidentally.

Like part of it is just I hate the summer and the heat. My meds make me react severely to sunlight. I burn so quickly and so severely. And the sunlight in general is too bright and overstimulating along with the heat.

And part of it is just like some agoraphobia. I know I need to work on it but I need to work on it slowly.

[LadyShadow]

My mood is okay, but it's filled with so much need and wanting. I am sitting here reading the comics he sent me along with sad love songs. "Words Get in the Way" by Gloria Estefan is on now, and I just remember how he used to describe himself as an "aging romantic" - there are just so many words I want to say but I hold myself back, afraid of saying too much, even though it aches deep in my heart.

One day I will be in love again, I crave it so much. The loneliness overwhelms me, hurts me, and I hurt myself so much because of it. I am sick to my stomach with the pain. I couldn't go to my Legion of Mary meeting today because I am afraid of crying too much and having someone see, and I feel bad about it.

So many things are slipping through my fingers - I did go to the AA Party today and learned some more about Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob. They had pizza so that was good. It was good to get out, though it was way too hot. It's too early for it to be this hot.

My MRI was a bigger deal then I thought. I thought it was just a typical MRI. But first I had to drink 3 16.9oz of this stuff that tasted like lemon lime Gatorade. Then they had to put an IV in and give me something. Then for some reason I got a shot? In the arm of something. Then I went for the MRI which took forever. Then they put contrast in the IV. I was there for almost 3 hours.

I feel really nauseated right now and my blood sugar is low which they said might happen. We got salads on our way home. One of techs said to just go home and eat something.

I'm still really nauseated. I took half of my night meds and I ate a few of these berry puffs. My anxiety is ok.

Food allergies?

Possible trigger:

I have a red rash around my nether region. I tried zinc oxide but it just burned like crazy! I have an appointment tomorrow. The nurse said to soak in a tub with baking soda but I can’t plug the drain! I used a mirror and it’s very red all over. My skin on my body itches now but no hives. I just ate a peanut butter English muffin. Took a Zyrtec. Don’t have any Benadryl

I use monistat cream.

My cousin had this favorite joke when we were kids and now i finally understand it!

This lady gets on the bus with her liitle dog whose name was "Itchy-Boom-Boom." It was a nice day so the bus windows were open, and all of a sudden the little dog jumped out the window. The lady started yelling, "oh my itchy boom boom! Oh my itchy boom!"

The bus driver turned around and said, "so whyn'tcha itch it, missus?"
