I think I'm going to pay to get the cat microchipped when I get them, if I have enough money to after getting the immunizations, and eventual spaying/neutering which will cost a lot. If not I'll definitely do the microchipping after the holidays. I'm excited. I can't wait to see the kittens so I can pick one to take home. I think there's 6 of them. Looking at all kinds of cat toys, beds, etc on Amazon right now lol

I have been texting with my case manager from IOP today. He went before the director and plead my case. He said I haven't harmed since the one time at the beginning of program, the ER doctor didn't hold me, and I've come a long way in program and am almost done. I have to sign some sort of safety contract/commitment but they are going to let me back into IOP. My case manager is a miracle worker. I am so thankful for him. I don't know if I want to see the IOP T again but I might not have a choice. At least she is on vacation until Friday of next week. I'm going to have another therapist do check in's with me while she is out. I don't know what that will look like but okay. I'm not thrilled about having to sign a contract. I think it is actually counter productive for the IOP place. They are basically acknowledging that I am a risk to myself and that they are continuing to treat me. I don't see how that could go their way in court but I'll sign the paper anyway, since it will get me back into IOP. My case manager is an angel.

At least I've stopped crying. And I got an appointment with my PCP for tomorrow at 2:30 PM. The hospital wanted me to follow up with her. I'm not actually sure what she will be able to do for me but okay. An appointment I have.

Still have a headache. Just took an ibuprofen. Hopefully that helps because it’s the 2nd one I took today so I’m not taking any more

Thanks SK

I’m having a horrible panic attack right now. I feel like there’s chemicals in me trying to kill me

Just got a notification slid under my door, bingo is tomorrow at 11am. I feel like **** right now, I really hope I feel better by tomorrow morning so I can call Bingo without any problems. I guess if I still feel bad I'll still do it, It's like 40-ish minutes of me calling the letters/numbers so it's not too bad, it would be over pretty quickly

I still have a slight headache, Even after 2 ibuprofen, I'm hoping it fades away completely at some point tonight. I'm drinking hot chocolate right now which has a little caffeine in it so hopefully that helps too

I hate headaches, I've been getting more of them recently. Probably because of my crappy diet.

But I did sleep too much last night, whenever I sleep too much, like over 10 hours, I always wake up with a bad headache

I hate to do this but if I don't get any sleep tonight I don't know if I'll be able to call bingo tomorrow. Between the headache, and feeling weird/panicky/paranoid about chemicals, etc I just don't know if I can do it without zoning out and totally panicking. I did it fine last time but I was feeling good then mentally and physically. I'll see how I feel in the morning I guess. If I don't feel up to it I'll let the apartment care manager know and then she can call Bingo instead, and then I'll do it again next time we have a game

@BB, you're doing well.. Don't worry <3 You're doing very good with the issues that you're having. It'll get better eventually. You're strong! I admire the struggle.. Eventually, once your brain rewires itself, you'll look back and think wow... Relax your mind, body, spirit.. Lots of breaks will help.

Thanks Desoxyn!


I'm thinking of taking a 3rd ibuprofen. It just says to not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours. They're 200mg soft gels

Edit: yeah I just took a 3rd. It's been 4 1/2 hours since my last dose so it should be fine

I am sorry you're going through all that. I had an experience with IOP that wasn't quite as taxing as what you're describing, but I felt similarly upon conclusion of the program. I am lucky to have a therapist who truly gets me and a psychiatrist who does too. Anyway, you can get through this!

I can't drink cause of benzos. But I'm fine with that. Anyway. I'm not sure if that's the type of cider you're referring to.

Ready for this stupid headache to go away! It's still lingering. Maybe I'll try to sleep and hopefully it will be gone when I wake up. I just have to make sure I don't oversleep and miss the bingo thing

Ate food and had a cider. I feel unmotivated now. Might as well go to sleep.

There's always a part of the day where I'm too awake to sleep and too tired to do anything. Idk wtf people are supposed to do at 7-9pm.

It's like a time of playing guitar or an instrument or something.. That's what it feels like. Too late to take dextroamphetamine.

@Blue_Bird how are you feeling this morning with your headache and everything? Were you able to call Bingo?

Hey SlumberKitty, no, I let them know I couldn't do it today, I woke up and still have a bad headache so can't really focus enough to do that, and on top of that still feel paranoid about chemicals. I thought going to sleep last night and waking up would at least get rid of the headache, I've had it since yesterday morning.
