I finally think some of the Lybalvi is wearing off. Thank goodness! That was some pretty massive numbing and zoning out and zombification.

A friend of mine has Parkinson's and she isn't doing well. She moved in with her son on 5/1/22. She was getting a lot of hallucinations and not making sense and being really disoriented along with the physical symptoms. They thought it was her medication for the Parkinson's. I guess she has been having a ton of mini strokes. And that is causing the hallucinations and dementia, not the medications. So her son said she is on hospice now and the hospice nurse thinks that her organs are shutting down. Wow. So much to take in. I knew she wasn't doing well but I thought she would get better at her son's. Not deteriorate so quickly!

Man, Parkinson's is bad disease. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

My great uncle has age related Parkinsons. He has hallucinations sometimes (I think from the meds). Very smart guy - was an electrical engineer.

He would talk to me on the phone about telescopes/space and such when I was a kid cuz I was really into stuff like that. Big hippie too - I wonder if it was from the 40 years of weed (Don't quote, just a guess).

I hope your friend will be ok but strokes are never a good thing...

I'm so hungry today for some reason. I don't know if I am really hungry or if it is a bored hungry. So I am trying not to eat. I hate this feeling.

Thank you. It is getting better. I am still sitting in my darkened office but another hour or so and I will probably be able to turn on the lights again.

I wish it were the weekend tomorrow so I could just chill and lay about. Two and a half more days at work feels torturous.

Okay. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I'm not even working right now, I'm on the forums. I haven't had anything to do all day. It's hard to fill 8 hours of work with like checking emails, checking the forums. I am answering the phones today for work because that person is on vacation for the rest of the week so I have had some interesting conversations with people.

Oh well. Soon it will be lunch time, in like on hour, and then after lunch the day usually goes by fast. Today is not going fast though. I hate when I have nothing to do.

My oldest nephew's birthday is tomorrow. He is turning 20. How is that possible?!! Where did the time go?! How am I old enough to have a nephew in his twenties?! Yikes. Time flies. His card with money got mailed on Saturday so he should have it by his birthday. I always give them money for their birthday as I have no idea what they want or need. I got him one of those pop up cards from Lovepop. It has a dog eating pizza that pops up out of the card. I hope he at least gets a smile out of it. I thought it was cute. I worry about him though. He seems adrift. He doesn't seem to have any goals. I know that I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life when I was twenty either but I was working and going to school at a community college. Since I didn't know what I wanted to do it made sense to go to community college where I could take all sorts of classes. I ended up graduating with like 96 units when you only needed 60. But I experienced a lot of different classes and got to see what I liked and didn't like. At his age, I owned a car that I paid for. He has a truck that his parents paid for. He isn't going to college. He took one semester, decided he doesn't like it and stopped going. He works extremely part time. Like some weeks, not at all. And he picks up his siblings from school and takes them to school. I just worry that he is going to spend a lot of time adrift and miss out on stuff. But he will find his way. I have to believe that. Just their family system is so toxic that I worry about him/all the children. He never goes out with friends or hangs out with anyone romantically. Just sits at home. I was hoping he would get inspired by his job and think about going to real estate school or something. But he says he doesn't want to do anything at all. I wish I knew more of how to inspire him or get him excited about anything at all. Even a hobby. Or volunteering. Or looking for a better paying job. Hmm. I worry about my boy but I am also aware that I am limited in my influence and what I am actually able to do for him. Soon my niece will (hopefully) graduate from high school. She is supposed to graduate June 3rd. She has missed a lot of school so I hope she can hang onto her grades for these last few weeks. She doesn't want to do anything either. Doesn't want to go to school or get a job or go out of the house to hang out with friends or anything. My heart hurts for these kiddos.

Climbed a steep mountain.. Good hike. On the drive home, it seemed to have auto-downloaded a bunch of really good songs (That I've never heard) in a row - Good body chills, mellow.

Good sleep 100% possible. Tomorrow, I relax cuz I worked Friday-Tuesday. Then work again on Friday.. (I'll have to prepare for that coworker - I'm not sure what her problem is with me.. whether she's being nice or not idk..)

I think the Wellbutrin was making me 10x more suicidal and slightly paranoid/anxious. I stopped taking it over a week ago.

Enough of that then..
