Still no sign of my nice Spring hypomania. I'm trying not to worry as Spring is so late this year here. We've still got tons of snow. The forecast is good tho so maybe soon. I'll be so bummed if i skip it this year.

Hello everyone; I hope everyone is doing well today. It was a pretty busy day for me today; then again Mondays and Wednesday's tend to be my busier days of work. We had a new nurse start today so I spent most of the morning out of my office showing her around and helping her get aclimated to our office. I always like it when new people start makes things interesting until they get adjusted.
Plus making sure they adjust keeps me busy for the day and I like having busy days. Work is good; I am in for a stressful week with M seeing the surgeon this week which has me a little worried of what is going to be said because he is still dealing with pain and spasms; but he is still getting up and going to work to keep his mind of everything even though work is probably causing some pain too. I am trying not to get worked up with the though of him seeing the doctor.

Survived last night. T tomorrow and pdoc Thursday. Went for a swim early morning. The highlight of my day. Downhill from there as the anxiety and wild eyes grow. 4.30 pm now. Drinking. At my parents though so won’t get away with getting drunk without a fight. Sometimes I feel like I’m exaggerating the situation. Other times I’m walking a very dangerous path. I’m overwhelmed basically and struggle to cope healthily. In fact I don’t want to. I’m so over this s***. Not sure what to say to my T and pdoc as I want some help but don’t want to be hospitalised. If they knew the full story I’m IP. Still, I feel I have a chance to calm down OP given the right treatment. Now to deal with the worst part of the day.
Hope everyone is ok. __________________ Bipolar 1 with psychotic features PTSD "Phew! For a minute there I lost myself." 'Karma Police' by Radiohead |

I kind of fear I'm taking one too many steps forward. In addition to French lessons, yesterday I signed up for a six-part lecture series held at the university nearby. The lecture series addresses interesting and important topics relating to modern China. It will be held every Tuesday night for six weeks, starting next Tuesday. Someone here may recall my concern about studying French at night. That's why I ended up seeking private lessons during the daytime. My husband was the first one to object to me studying French at night, but he didn't hesitate to recommend the evening lecture series at the university. The reason? Because the lecture series is relevant to a potential part-time work-from-home job I may want in the future, which my husband may also work on. But hubby doesn't plan to attend the lecture series. Just me. It's held from 8 pm to 9 pm. On such nights I have to wait to take my evening meds. Assuming I won't get home until 9:30 or 9:45 pm those nights, that will surely mean that I won't be able to fall asleep until about 3 am. It's always the same. Plus, after a lecture, I'm sure to be wound up sometimes.
My dishwasher is fixed, thanks to my electrician brother. My clothes washer needs to be replaced, but is sort of working in the meantime. I have therapy today. I'll be curious to hear what she thinks about the classes and lectures. I really like her, but she's still a fairly new therapist for me. I am not entirely sure she can accurately judge if I'm potentially biting off more than I can chew. I know my psychiatrist can, but he's too careful of a guy sometimes. He's not always encouraging enough. |

I had a nice calm day. There was beautiful sunshine and you could see patches of grass but it was still so cold you could see your breath. I feel okay -- not depressed but maybe a little bored. Can't wait for my keyboard stand to arrive and i can get started on learning piano. I didn't talk to anyone all day but i don't feel lonely. On a break from Scrabble. Haven't played in weeks. I don't miss it at all.

Of what? Weight issues? I hope not. I can feel it creeping and I’m SO tired of putting on weight from these damn weight gaining pills. I just feel like Latuda, though it seems to be working, is yet another culprit.

Haven’t checked in in a short while. Feel like I’m gaining weight and Latuda is likely to blame. I still have quite a bit to lose from seroquel and depakote and CANNOT afford to put on more. It will absolutely have to be a deal breaker. Feeling a bit better about going back to work April 8th. Then again, both my mom and husband said I seemed a little up today. My husband said I also seemed really out of sorts. He was not happy that mom took me shopping while I was “like this.” 🙄 Mo IOP tomorrow as I have t and pdoc appts. We’ll see how it goes. Trying to get my house bday party ready this week because I am hosting lots of people on sat for my son’s bday. I am also redecorating quite a bit so it is quite an undertaking.

Had my annual physical today and we talked about my weight that won’t budge, after looking over my Med list we both agreed Latitude is the problem. Yes weight gain, just creeped in over time, it’s also causing me more general health problems. Makes my PsA arthritis worse. I’m on meds for cholesterol which I didn’t need prior to Latuda I’m currently eating 800-1200 calories a day. Plus exercise as much as I can with pain conditions. But that exercise is causing more joint pain and damage. I refuse to buy new bigger clothes. All this is doing is flaring up my urge to just stop eating, anorexic as it’s best. Last time about 4 years there was many talks from T , Pdoc and GP of needing a feeding tube. So I’d like to not have a repeat. So I am quitting Latuda. Screw Big Pharma making life even worse for those of us psych issues.... deal with unhealthy weight gain. Like really ???? I’m done __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |
