This morning, I ran a lot. So much I felt sick afterward. Not sure if it's medication related or running so far on an empty stomach. I know I am not supposed to overexercise on Seroquel though I don't know if that's just because you are not supposed to let yourself get too hot while taking it or another issue entirely. I ate as soon as I got in and then had to lie down awhile. Luckily managed to get up in time to take my daughter to the dentist, but we had a rushed lunch (noon appointment). 2 cavities together on neighboring teeth so back in January to fill.

I'm doing okay but realized I have a bad problem I need to resolve. Maybe it will be a New Year's resolution. Veggies sound great! I have a ton of them in my frig. I ordered a small pizza tonight and had 2 pieces and feel stuffed. Used to be able to down the whole thing. I guess my stomach has shrunk since I've been eating less. That's a good thing for me though. I need to lose more weight. I am obese.

Losing one's mother is so very hard; I'm so sorry. Mine is gone, too. The holidays can suck sometimes. All of my family has left the state now and I'm getting a meal delivered from a church for shut ins for Christmas. Me and my baby dog will share it. Thankfully I have her. Much peace to you this season.

I'm so sorry about your depression. Will you be able to contact your pdoc or can't until January? As soon as you can call your pdoc, the better. You have sounded really depressed for a long time. Which antidepressant are you on? Possibly you could try another? I'm sorry about the psychotic symptoms. I have had it happen a couple times, and it is scary. I hope you make it through this tough anniversary and time of year __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything.

Blue_Bird, I don't like the term "psychotic" either. I am on an anti-psychotic (AP) though and it has helped reel in my manic thoughts & actions. Usually they up it if I get more manic, but more than the dose I'm on, I am so sleepy. My AP (Seroquel) is known for weight gain, but did not affect me that way, probably because I run nearly every day. But I have to take the normal release version. I tried extended release and wanted to sleep & eat all day, though it was not as bad as Remeron for excessive eating.

I guess for myself, I'm coping. Lots of changes coming up with H's new job, and that will affect medical insurance, dental, vision insurance as of Jan. 1, I believe. I have a pdoc appt. Jan. 3, and I might have to ask for a meds extension and come in once the insurance gets sorted.
I'm eating OK, though I did skip breakfast again, not on purpose, ran out of time. I make my daughter's breakfast a morning priority but not my own breakfast. For me, I tend to make running the priority. Doing it a lot, and I know I need to eat more, but I like to fit into smaller clothes, see a lower weight on the scale, and God, you cannot buy a women's magazine without something about weight loss in it, and then that will make me feel like I need to be on a diet too. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything.

There is no one harder on ourselves than us. One of my new year's resolutions is to be kind to myself because I have not been and need to. I hope your holidays are good to you!

I've had no appitite over christmas (I think because I'm so depressed)
yesterday I had my traditional christmas eve party food plate, but only got through half of it (granted, it was a big plate of food, but I usually eat it all) today I felt a bit nautious (so had a smaller breakfast than I usually do on christmas day) and later I'm going to eat turkey- I don't feel hungry at all though and I don't see myself getting through too much of it. I've also been eating my christmas chocolates (which I have every year), and yesterday I did eat a few packets of potato chips |

Merry Christmas everyone!
My daughter was up before 3 AM to open gifts and shortly after so was I (from the noise of her using the bathroom, small house). I'm tired now. Managed a shortened run and am beating myself up over not doing more since the rain chances tomorrow and Friday are high, like 90-100%. ED thinks I should have done more. I'm warming up the ham and will glaze it later, which I have a bit of an iffy track record with. Wouldn't it be nice to have gotten no more ED ever for Christmas? I hate this stupid thing; it never goes away all the way, just hibernates during my recovery periods. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything.

OMG, I woke up feeling fine this morning, ran a good distance after my daughter opened her gifts. I started feeling bad cleaning up lunch, took a bath to try to warm up. Went to bed. May have slept or just laid here. Stupid forehead scan thermometer had temperature readings over a degree off. I don’t have a digital thermometer so went back to the glass one under the tongue 3 min, 100.2F. My temperature is usually in the 98s, I don’t run hot. I ache behind the eyes a ton, have a sore throat, fatigue, body aches, just generally miserable, feel like I have fever. Took 2 Tylenol around 4 PM. I did get the flu shot but heard the effectiveness was around 50% this season. Not sure whether to go to urgent care or wait on the regular doctor tomorrow. Both are bound to be busy and germ-ridden. I think Tamiflu only shaves a couple days off recovery at most. I will monitor my temperature and judge based on that. About half the people at my extended family Christmas Saturday ended up with sinus infections (pleasant temp outside but super windy, and I was outdoors a lot). But all 3 of my nieces there got the flu.
