Just checking in.

Moods have been all over the place recently but it's starting to get better.

I have to learn not to let other's moods affect me.

Glad to be back in New York though. I think it was the right decision.

I'm on the road to having a life. Getting involved in things like church, groups, etc.

Have been walking everyday trying to get back in shape. It will be hard but I know I can do it.
I keep wanting to call my mom and tell her how things have been going and see how she's doing .....then I remember she's gone

How are you all doing?

Well, I'm a basket case. I think though that you made the right decision to move, and that things will work out well.

I went to a bariatric surgery seminar today. I don't know how I feel. But it is def a good feeling. I heard it is extremely challenging to get qualified for surgery because of past psych history, that remains to be seen. However I am happy I went. My sister had Gastric Bypass 5 years ago and now it looks like I am going to try. I weighed in today at 391 lbs, 50.8 BMI and 52+' waist.

My dog has been missing since Sunday. She's my in-home support system. The only support I have is from my PDoc and T. My neighbors are mad at me for some reason. I feel more isolated than ever.I just want everything over. I'm so tired.

Hi, Jayne. How are you doing? I just hope that if things stay as bad as they are now, you'll call a crisis line. Please do that. And if you get a bad person on the line, just wait a few minutes and call them back. Or call a different hotline. I'm worried about you.

ETA: you can always send me a pm, too, if you feel like it, or not, it's OK.

Thanks for caring, y'all. My T said to go to the hospital if I get worse. He said he could see me Monday, but I didn't say yes or no, so not sure about that. I already have a scheduled appointment with my PDoc on Tuesday. Apparently, my body is prepared to sleep until then. I'm more tired than usual and slept most of Friday. I've been awake less than 4 hours and am feeling sleepy already.

Feeling raw, if that makes sense. It's been a week now. My dog has been a grounding point for me, though I never realized just how much until now. My mind keeps reaching out for her (in our bedroom) and I don't even realize it until my brain realizes she's not here. I've just been so used to her being a couple feet away. The worst part is where my mind goes when I think of her being outside alone. I have to shut that down quickly. I can't find a reason to get out of bed.

Yes, raw makes a lot of sense. I still feel raw over my cat dying and that was almost 20 years ago.

I wonder if a cat could be a friend for you now. Did you know that there's something about cat's purring that strengthens our bones? It's true. That's why cats purr when they have their own bones to heal and mend.

I think every older person should have a cat, for that reason alone. Excellent natural strengthening for osteoporosis. I don't know if I can get a cat due to allergies/COPD. But unless you have serious possible allergies.. there's no reason you can't try it for a few days. Maybe be a foster mom for an overflowing shelter?

I know it's the last thing you want to hear or think about, but it's something you really could benefit from. And something poor little kitties could benefit from too.

Gah, the shorts on TCM were that horrible police training video on how to handle catching a "disturbed" person ("who have feelings of pain, just like one of us") and an anti pornography video that manages to show every centerfold for dozens of porn mags.

These things embarrass me for having been alive when they were made.

Speaking of which, i had to call my mother awhile ago (so that I won't feel horrible guilt at some point in the future). She calls my psychosis"being excitable". There aren't any teachable moments in my family.

Now there are loud angry voices outside and the asshole downstairs turned the karaoke up. I don't think anyone would have understood that he feeds the words in, and then they use the resulting music to drive me insane. I know they have an amplifier but no one else does.

Angelique, I'm sorry about your cat. And your asshole neighbors.

I'm very allergic to cats. Thanks for the suggestion, though
Thanks for this!

Well, now the asshole told the ringleader (the janitor) what I said on the phone. They're laughing because there's no one to get in their way now. (Friend left for Europe last night.)

And I can use earplugs, but the janitor has a special fondness for poisoning me with fumes (they come up through a hole in the wall - big hole) like paint thinner, etc. I don't know if I'll survive the next few weeks.
