Roll Call 26

I'm lacking motivation today too. I can't focus on anything.

I just drove my daughter to work. I forced myself to stop by the pet store on the way back. My little Chihuahua Daisy has been out of her favorite cookies for a week now. I've had zero motivation to go shopping lately. But I went in and I found some different cookies that look to be more healthy for Daisy. Brought them home and gave her one and she loved it! I'm so glad I forced myself to go into that pet store and so glad I found a more healthy cookie for Daisy. Cheaper and healthier. A win win!

That will be the high light of my day. Now I'm home trying to keep myself out of the bed. I figure if I sit up in the recliner instead of lay down in the bed that might help some. All I want to do is sit in this dark bedroom and do nothing. Stinks.

I'm trying to write stand-up comedy about graduating with a theatre degree for my theatre class. I've never actually done stand-up comedy before but I've always wanted to. I guess I'll try it out in front of my group tonight.

Oh that sounds fun I bet you'll have a great time with it

that sounds great! i hope they like it

does anyones fingers or toes ever twitch?

Thanks.

My fingers, arms, and legs twitch sometimes. I don't know if it's the antipsychotics or not.

i wonder if its the antipsychotics. its been through high and low doses over and over again. i think its ruining my body.

TheatreKid: how did the 24 hour monitoring of your blood pressure go?

I'm a constant mover. I shake my feet or legs.

Of course I'm not on any meds though.
My oldest daughter is still doing the taper from the Celexa. She's always twitching her fingers or rubbing her feet together. Especially when she tries to sleep she must rub her feet together constantly. Before meds she never did that.

I don't have the results yet. I have an appointment with the specialist on the 11th so I guess I'll find out then. I assume if there's a problem they'll contact me sooner.

Oh ok. Well hopefully everything is okay with it then. My blood pressure is always high too. One day I'll have to go see a doctor about it.

I'm going to talk to him about my heart. I've been having these random episodes at night where my heart just starts racing and pounding. That's why I couldn't sleep last night. My pdoc thinks it's just anxiety, but there's no trigger, it just happens randomly. But my thoughts aren't racing, I'm not worried about anything. And I've tried everything, meditation, deep breathing, music, distraction, cutting out caffeine, avoiding scary/energizing tv shows or books or music before bed, reading until I get sleepy, melatonin, benadryl. Nothing helps. And then of course I get worried something is wrong with my heart and that doesn't help.

My heart does that too at any time of the day or night. I always thought it was just anxiety. The other night it kept me tossing and turning. I was miserable. I'm very sorry you experience this too

Twitching is very normal. Not just fingers and toes, but also eyebrows, the corner of the eye, and edge of the mouth. And while falling asleep it is normal for various body parts to twitch or even suddenly jerk. I say all of this as a professional in the field of neurophysiology.

I would assume it is normal unless it happens for long periods and is frequent on a daily basis for weeks.

Mine's been happening on a daily basis, multiple times a day, for years. Sometimes the twitch is so severe it's more like a jerk. Recently my lips started twitching like they were puckering for a kiss. My pdoc knows but doesn't seem worried.

whats everyone doing tonight?

I just woke from a nap. Head still hurts. This sucks so badly!

sorry to hear that. i hope it clears up quickly cracking.

Thanks newtus I sure hope it does too. The intensity seems to fluctuate. I'm so ready to be done with this.

i had anxiety about leaving the house today. so i just been in bed all day. it rained a little bit today.

Anxiety really sucks too! So sorry to hear that newtus
It just now started raining here. It's suppose to rain quiet a bit. We do need the rain.

I really like this! So true.

Hope your headache clears up soon, Cracking.

I was supposed to have my rehearsal tonight but I got there and we were locked out and only two of us were there so we texted everyone else and told them to come tomorrow instead. Then we talked for a while, then I went to the grocery store. I was going to take the bus, but I walked instead and it was nice.

I'm paranoid about the conversation though. I always feel like I talk about myself too much. It doesn't always have to be about me.
