This gets worse for me over time - Although also somewhat better? (If that makes sense).

I slept for 15 hours from Saturday night till yesterday (Sunday at 12:30 in the afternoon) so that’s good. I also slept last night and woke up when my alarm went off today at 5am. I set my alarm last night on my phone and set my phone across the room. That’s the only way to guarantee I don’t turn it off in my sleep and fall back asleep

So I’m sleeping and got my sleep schedule back on track. I don’t have much going on today. Have to go to the store to buy food then to the pharmacy, and clean my apartment but that’s about it

Tomorrow morning I’m going to petsmart for my volunteer job shift then afterward I’ll take the bus home and eat lunch, put on a nicer outfit then head out to my job interview at Burger King. Not super nervous. Feel prepared for the interview but not overly prepared if that makes sense. I hope they hire me.

It's like I experience delirium or something like that for short periods of time though. The migraines have stopped, no trace of them left, so phew, that was the major concern. Doc said I low on elektrolytes, so I've stopped drinking soda all together, and have switched to Gatorade, and water with those tiny elektrolytes packets, and iced tea. That did the trick, it was that easy to solve. Haha. They said I didn't have you UTI, no liver or kidney issues either. So I'll wait this out, hopefully they disappear now that I've stopped drinking on the weekends, and stopped my soda intake. Honestly, I needed to change my liquid intake, especially drinking a 12 pack every weekend, that's inviting trouble. Plus, I can still do the other thing I do once a week. So all's very, very well.

Also, I'm on a new drug for my PTSD, it's Prazosin, a blood pressure medication that is an alpha blocker. This weekend I started taking it. Man, I'm going into rem sleep again, having really interesting dreams, mostly sad, but it is what it is. But even better, I sleep extremely well now, and wake up cool as a cucumber, like my vagus nerve is stimulated. Just completely relaxed. I love this drug.

I think, because of this drug, I might try to get off Remeron and Doxepin, and if I get off those, I can get off Trileptal, and so all I'll need to take is Geodon and Prazosin, and I'll go back to my healthy weight again, that will be that. For the first time in my life, if I wake up late at night, or in the morning, I can fall back asleep. I'm going to take everything as directed for now, but when I see my pdoc, we're going to have an interesting discussion on my new possibility. =)

Yeah the first thing that came to mind when I read the low salt thing was the trileptal, I’m on it too and I know that can be an issue with it. I hope your symptoms go away

Have you told the staff where you are? You shouldn’t have to wait out a medical issue on your own

I practiced keyboard for awhile on Saturday. I managed to learn the first part of jingle bells. I recorded it. I’m trying to practice ukulele and keyboard regularly again. Having a lot of fun with them. Music is great. Have a lot to learn. Going to practice again this afternoon. Trying to put in at least 6 hours of practice a week

Couple more months till I’m back in college. Last couple days of august the fall semester starts.

I got my internet bill lowered from $84 a month down to $19.99 a month. Using a program called the affordable connectivity program , and also the guy I talked to with my internet provider was extremely helpful and helped me get as much savings as possible. So instead of it just being cut down by $30 he got me the most savings possible. He said he worked in banking for a long time so always likes to help people get the best deal possible since things have gotten so expensive.

So that’s definitely super helpful.

Also if things go well with the interview Tuesday I’ll be working part time soon and the extra income will be helpful to put in savings and to put towards a new laptop for college.

Desoxyn, I care about you. I don't always respond to you because your intelligence is on a whole other plane than mine. I mean I have heard of ChatGPT but I have no idea how it works or what it is even supposed to do. So sometimes I don't respond to your posts. But I try to leave hugs or thanks so you know that it was read and appreciated. Try not to take my failure of knowing what to say as meaning that I don't care. I do. I just don't know what to say most of the time. HUGS my friend. Hugs. Kit

SlumberKitty · Apr 17, 2023 at 11:45 AM

Glad you got some sleep Blue_Bird and good on you about getting the internet bill lowered.

Yes, I told the nurse last night. She came to see me this morning and she said my (issue) looked better today. I'm really glad you got some sleep! Good luck with the BK interview.

I think I might just be becoming lactose intolerant lol. TMI. That or my liver is bad again and I can’t process really high fatty foods. But it’s mostly like cream and milk products.

Like I had mac and cheese a couple weeks ago. And I had some dip today.

Idk I’ll mention to the doctor.

Thinking about what I’m going to tell my doctor tomorrow. How I’m doing.

I’ll tell him that I had been drinking more but I’m cutting back.

I have to admit I’ve been more depressed than I thought.

Anorexia wise I’m good and eating normally and going to see a dietician next week. I’m also going to mention how I’ve been getting sick from milk again.

I’m concerned about mystery bruises and my hands hurting and feeling stiff sometimes. It hasn’t been too bad lately though. So idk.

Getting test results from lab work. Getting the psychiatrist report.

I think that covers it, really.

Hopefully all goes well.

I was making mushroom risotto and didn’t have any butter in the fridge so I grabbed some from the freezer. Then tried to cut it with a knife.

Oops, cut my pinky. It’s pretty nasty but not bad enough to need stitches. At least I hope. I got it bandaged good and it’s not soaking through so it should be okay.

I didn’t want to wet the bandage so I got my mom to help me wash my hair.

Can’t fall asleep right now , too excited and nervous about tomorrow.

Talked on the phone for a couple hours tonight with my bf. Was nice. We talk a few hours every evening on weekdays and on weekends we talk more. Miss spending time with him in person from when we first dated when I lived down there a long time ago. Will be nice to start saving money towards a plane ticket for him to visit. We’re both contributing towards the ticket.

Watched the first Stephen king IT movie (of the newer movies) going to watch It chapter 2 tomorrow. I would have been terrified if I watched those movies as a little kid. Clowns are already creepy to begin with.

Oh yeah almost forgot. Got two idk if vintage is the right word but two older cameras one is from the 90’s and one is from the early 2000’s. I got them for free today. They’re both SLR cameras. So they’re not digital like my Nikon. Meaning they need actual rolls of film in them. I plan on getting film for them and trying them out. I think it will be fun and good to try out older style camera for the experience and they might give like a certain vibe/style to photographs that newer cameras lack. They have decent lenses on them. One is a macro lense which I’m interested to try out. Obviously my Nikon will be the main one I use for photography because it’s newer and a digital slr which I’m a tad more familiar with but I am going to have fun experimenting with the older cameras too.

Here are my cameras. The first one I got several months ago (the Nikon) the two next to that are the SLRs I got today. And the single lense sitting in the background I’m not sure what to do with yet but I will find a use for it

Blue_Bird · Apr 17, 2023 at 09:43 PM

Oh wow! I just did some research on the Praktica camera model I have , it was actually produced in the 1970’s so way older than I thought. Imagine what kind of journeys this camera has been on in 50 years
