It's unfair..

I think my mg Buspar will need to be upped. It's 7.5mg 2x a day. I'll give it time. We will see once I actually go back.

Are you eating enough protein? How about caffeine, do you drink coffee? That's probably safer than pills.

I was going to try to get propranolol again, but they said my blood pressure is already low and it may cause dizziness and fainting. I remember I actually took it 2 years ago or so for anxiety and that actually happened. I was cooking and suddenly the room started spinning bad and almost passed out. My heart rate is always high though.

Do you snack on sweets throughout the day? Or drink soda everyday?

I did okay on Zyprexa after the first month. I built up to 25 mgs and was fine. Just the weight gain.

Good morning. Happy Thursday. Last day of vacation Roll Call 132. It went by so fast. Even yesterday when we didn’t really do anything exciting.
I’m contemplating driving the hour and a half back to the other mountain so my son can do his biking. I don’t know. The park for today has zip lining, mountain climbing, suspended bridge climbs, aerial obstacle courses. Cool stuff. I’m torn. If I bring them back up another time it’s going to cost me another $500. I don’t think I can swing that before birthdays and Christmas and I won’t drive up here in the winter because of snow. Decisions decisions.
It’s 56 this morning. I’m wrapped up in a blanket. Wish the hot tub was open.

I've been in the ticket to work program for almost 2 years

I've been making way over social security limit to keep my disability checks which is $810/ month before taxes

so yeh they recently sent a letter wanting all my paystubs for thr past 2 years. I ignored it and didn't mail it back

I was notified at my current job that social security called them to verify my earnings. so I assume they called all my other jobs too

got another letter saying they have all my earnings information and haven't decided yet if they will take my disability payments away or not
