I'm sorry things are too much right now, @Gasplessy.

I hope things start to lighten up for you pretty soon.

I been feeling down lately. I am trying to help myself feel better.

Mountaindewed · Aug 16, 2022 at 04:47 PM

This new med is working wonders on my anxiety. I'm having legit conversations with family members I'd normally just say one word answers to. I played a few rounds of that cornball game or whatever its called.

Its just really really messing with my stomach and I'm having trouble eating.but its working so well for other things...

Mountaindewed · Aug 17, 2022 at 03:06 PM

I just felt weird today. I just woke up from a middle of the day nap with such bad night or whatever sweats my entire shirt was soaked and I had to change into another one and my mattress felt like someone had peed on it. Sometimes I don't get myself.

I been watching movies and tv shows such as the old charmed, vampire diaries to help me deal with some stress I had been under these past two days. Then I did some writing in my journal to help me feel a little better about how I have been feeling about myself.

I did answer the phone when Mom called and upheld boundaries when she tried to get me to visit next week. I did tell her about my cardiologist appointment though, and I hadn't planned to do that.

I don't know if its just the heat but I'm wondering if I should see my doctor when I get back. I am doing a lot more then I have been doing and I did start a new med. But I'm just so tired and not hungry. I really don't remember ever feeling like this before.

I'm learning to let go of the obsessional thoughts I have. Been in trouble before because of them. Just wait and you'll see this very concept may be one of the things I need the most to have the healthiest mind I can. I'm telling myself that I do not need to harp on this or that and all the while letting it fly by.

That sounds wonderful!

I'm just super worn out today. I don't think I caught anything, I think its just the general fatigue I've been having. Mood wise I'm a bit crabby but just because I don't have energy. I made it to Sams Club so I did get out of the house.

Mountaindewed · Aug 22, 2022 at 11:11 AM

I'm doing a lot better today mood and energy wise. I slept good for the first time in 3 nights and it helped a lot.

I've been short a valium for a few days due to the pharamacys own fault. They undercounted. So I have to go down to 2 until its ok to call my doctor on the 28th. These last couple days I was doing ok but today my anxiety has been tough and I could really use that 3rd one. I don't think I have any options but to wait it out until the 28th. At least I don't think. Techincally I can't even get it filled until the 30th but my appointment with him is on the 1st and I'm seeing him in person and he is out of state and I can only get it filled at my own pharamacy. So Idk if calling 3 days early on the 27th would be pushing it or not. I got in trouble with him last time for something, but this time it was legit not my fault and now I know to count them as soon as I get them.

So I finally just took the 3rd one. Amazing difference and very quickly. I'll just have to call my pdoc in the morning and explain things. This isn't the first time this pharamacy has screwed me over.

What a bummer.

Can you use a different pharmacy?

Discombobulated · Aug 25, 2022 at 10:29 AM

I had an afternoon with some frustration when technology wasn’t working properly for me - but I notice I am closer to the edge recently and I think it’s because of work stress. I need to calm down but it’s not easy.

On the upside I did some great much needed decluttering and got 2 big bags to the charity shop and the volunteer who accepted them was so nice about it that it made me feel happy.

I'm thinking of switching to a different one. I ended up calling my pdocs nurse today and explaning that I would need a refill anyways before I saw him on the 1st. I didn't say I was short. She said that made sense and she sent the script over to the pharamacy. So I'm hoping they will fill it in the next 2-3 days. Today I did ok with 2.

@Discombobulated I get double value when I donate stuff to charity. I get my house cleaner and more organized and I feel better helping other people. @CANDC

I've been sleeping much better since I quit caffeine. It wasn't fun for the first few days, but I'm over the withdrawals now.

That's good!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Physically I was a mess and my anxiety was high but I coped well and I'm feeling better now. I set up an appointment with my primary for Monday morning. Then I saw that I had enough valium to take my regular amount to get me until Monday morning. Which is the 29th. So basically I do have enough since I'll get it filled 2 days early on the 28th. Anyways I'm feeling better now because of the valium and I took some tylenol so my stomach is ok. I ate some ice cream without an issue. I'm really tired even though I slept good and my mom is tired too and she slept fine. I'm sure we're fine though.
