OMG my freakin head hurts!! I hate migraines. Ie been taking tylenol all day yesterday and it finally just broke out horrible at 1 am (now). I need the ER- can't sleep at all- but there's probably 100,000 people in there with their body parts removed from fireworks. Ugh.

I want to read my book but i can't stand the light I need to read it by. Even the light on my cell phone is unpleasant.

I just called the after-hours number at the drs office. She gave me an appointment for tomorrow at 2:30 pm. Ugh. That's so loooong from now!- especially since its the middle of the night and I can't sleep. Since its not the worst headache of my life- quote- I don't need to go to the ER. Staying up the rest of the night won't be good for my bipolar but that's the least of my concerns right now, honestly. Not being able to sleep is one thing but not being able to sleep from constant severe pain is another.

Feeling like absolute ****. I should be asleep. There are things I want to get done. I don't want to be stuck in this state of mind anymore. "do something about it" not that easy, I can't just magically come up with coping skills. I am very sad tonight. Very blue, very down, very low are some words I would use.

Omg. Went to refill my prescription and the psychiatric nurse forgot to do it. I'm currently trying everything to get one today. I miss my pdoc. He passed away recently and I'm in between doctors, which is why I had to see a nurse this time instead, to check that I'm ok and refill my prescription.

On Monday I fill in as a manager at work so really can't afford a manic episode right now.

I hope you can get your prescription @MidnightManiac

[MidnightManiac]

Thank you @downandlonely, I managed! Had to call around and drop my mask so it would be sorted today. It went much faster than I thought, but then again, I pretty much called every emergency number until I found someone who would alert my psychiatric clinic to get to my message asap. I hate making a big deal, but it had to be done.

I'm relieved and grateful. ❤️

I got sleep finally thankfully! I feel so much better, yesterday was bizarre

Today is 30 years that my Dad passed away. He was only 48. It's hard to believe that 30 years has already gone by!!

My dad passed away at 48 too. It’s been nearly 22 years. Seems like forever and no time at all at the same time, right? Sorry about your dad. I know how precious dads are.

This is certainly a sad day considering the losses people experienced. My father called me a few hours ago telling me that his brother died today. I was not close to my paternal uncle, but it is particularly sad considering the struggles he had in his life, and the challenges his wife has had and will have. He was in his early 70s, so not so young as the fathers mentioned above. My dad is older. I worry this will affect him in a very negative way. My father was only in the psych hospital just weeks ago.

Tomorrow is our housewarming party! I’m so excited. We bought all of the food and drinks today (including a pint of Captain Morgan for me &#129322. I’m so happy because my grandma is coming to see our house! She hasn’t driven to my town (she lives 45 minutes away) in a couple of years. But she’s coming just for me! She probably won’t stay long but I’m just glad to show her the house. It means a lot to me that she’s coming.

RS accidentally did a public event on FB so his whole family saw it and now we have about 30 people coming lol. I hope our neighbors don’t get mad! But it’ll be fine I’m sure. Not like we’re going to be playing super loud music or anything and it won’t go past 10pm. At least that’s when I’m kicking everyone out lol.

I buckled down and bought a juul today. My e cigs weren’t cutting it and I desperately want any to quit. Eventually I want to quit nicotine as well but I realize that I’m not ready for that right now. I haven’t had a cigarette since 2pm and it’s now nearly eight. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot but I was smoking a pack and a half a day. I would have had at least ten cigarettes by now. If I had been using my regular e cig I would have caved and run out to buy a pack. So this is progress. The real test will be tomorrow when I don’t have a cigarette to wake up to. If I can get through that I have a good chance of quitting.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend!

Not much happening today. I feel sad and tired. Maybe I'll go to sleep early.

I lost my Dad in 97 from leukemia. Everyday I miss him just as much as the day of.

Moose : I’m glad your migraine finally quit making life hell

Hopeless and Wild I’m so sorry you lost your Dads so young it’s just never easy.

BirdDancer: I’m sorry your Father lost his brother, I too would be concerned since he’s just out of IP. How are you holding up? Are you still enjoying your trip?

Wild .... enjoy your party!!! You are really working hard to stop smoking you will get there

Hi everyone. I've been on vacation for a week and then trying to get over some kind of tropical virus I picked up there. I'm going to have to go to the doctor soon if it doesn't improve. It's getting old waiting for it to go away. I wasn't able to post while away because internet was terrible and then when I got home I had to get a new computer because mine died just before I left. I've been back online a few days but just haven't felt like posting.

But.....I had a great vacation aside from getting sick at the very end (yet not getting sick during our long travel day thank God). This was a long-awaited trip and I'm so glad we were able to enjoy it. I even jumped off a boat and tried snorkeling. I'm afraid of heights so jumping off was a big deal and I'm very proud of myself.

I'm so sorry for those who suffered losses, Tecomsin and Bird Dancer. and for those who are remembering those lost in the past. You have been in my thoughts.

I met a friend today who is a 12 Step sponsor for other people but for me we are mostly just friends. Today he told me he went to a nudist event on Canada Day where we live and then he invited me to go with him to another one. It creeped me out. He is also quite a bit older than me and married and I have met his wife. Today he was just complaining about her. Now I am wondering if I need to cut off that friendship too. This is making me kind of sad.
