I’ll be totally honest... I’m too afraid to call, so I haven’t. I don’t think they’ll be able to help, either, the more I think about it. Nothing will relax me when I sense a dark energy from a supernatural force. I’m just going to find something to make me sleep since I can’t sleep.

Home from 24 hours of camping with extended family. (More details on that in the thread "Camping".)
Now my youngest went out for a walk when it was almost dark- and now its dark and he's not home yet. I know he's almost 18 but my rule is "be home before dark". __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Caplyta 42 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

How do you feel about the diagnosis? She asked what I thought I had and I said SzA. She said that's what she was going to suggest. So it's not unexpected. I don't know how I feel. I've had so many Dx.'s everyone expects me (even both intake T's) to take it negatively. I'm kinda just letting it sit and I'm thinking about it.

Good day. I washed my mom's smelly dog for her while she was away with my niece. Doing something nice feels good.
My social security money arrived sometime, delayed but whatever, it's here before I'm out of money. We got to have the windows open for a few hours which makes both me and my cats so happy. Last night I ate some stuff that in the past 7 weeks would have upset my stomach and nothing bad happened. I ate SALAD! Veggies! I can't tell you how good they tasted. I'm hoping this is a good sign. I took a shower so I'm ready to go do errands tomorrow. It was a big fight to get there so I'm glad I did it. So lots of positive stuff. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Hi all, I hope you all are doing great. I'd just thought I'd check in before my vacation. I am super excited then again I can't remember the last time I used vacation days for an actual vacation. I figured with everything going the way it's been going lately; that now would be the time to take a vacation. Work is great; my relationship is the best one I've had in a very long time. It feels easy and natural; we hardly ever fight. We are both in love with each other. My heath is the best it has been in a very long time; the Trintellix has eradicated my depression, my Buspar was changed to twice a day instead of the three a day I was previously on. I've been stable on the current heart medication for quite some time; and it's working magnificently. My heart rate is usually in the mid to upper 80's. Which I'm cool with; as is my Cardio.
So, I figured that it's a good time to book and take a vacation; since I am doing great health wise; he has completely healed from his back surgery. Plus nothing helps reset the brain quite like a vacation. So, I will be spending my 25th birthday on a cruise. I am so ready to just hit the reset button and enjoy a week away from home with M; soaking up the sun and seeing some lovely destinations. I hope you all are doing well and I will be sure to check in after my vacation. I think of you all daily even if I don't post daily and as frequently as I once did. Hugs to everyone __________________ Generalized Anxiety Disorder Depression Symptoms of PTSD Trintellix 10mg once daily Buspar 10mg three times daily |

Feeling mentally the best I’ve felt since the whole toxicity thing. In fact the best I’ve felt in a long time.
Body not on the same page. But that’s a whole other story. __________________ Pookyl ———————————————————————————— BP1, GAD, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Claustrophobia Psych meds: Saphris, Seroquel XR, regular Seroquel. PRN Diazepam and Zopiclone |

Yesterday was rough. I think work stress or burn out really might be getting to me. Spent half the day angry and frustrated and then sank into depression. I don't think the dreary weather helped either. I seem to be sensitive to that. Pretty much came home from work and went laid in bed and cried. Didn't want to talk. My face was so heavy. Only got up to make salad for dinner, and then went back to bed. Slightly lost out against some SH thoughts. I am hoping sleep did me good and today will be better.

I’m going to tell my therapist today about my ability to sense supernatural forces (because the dark energy is bothering me), and how I feel like I’m being stalked. I suppose it’s also worth mentioning that I haven’t been into work since last Wednesday because I’m having a hard time trusting people. Like, I’m afraid of their intentions. |

I plan to contact my therapist today to make some extra appointments. I was going once a month, but I think it will be a good idea to have a professional keeping an eye on me more regularly while I transition. I know you've weaned off meds recently, so let me know if you have any tips you feel would be valuable. I hope the drive home today isn't too stressful for you. I'm so glad you will be comfortable in your own home soon. Glorious air conditioning awaits you! |

So I'm three weeks into my increased dose of Wellbutrin.
I'm definitely on the way up. My sleep has gone down to 7 hours, compared to the 8-9 I was sleeping for several years. My appetite has decreased. I'm having strange dreams and getting up at night (compared to sleeping like a stone for several years) . And I'm listening to my loud radio - I haven't done that in many years. Strangely I'm still not feeling that good - not even close to my baseline. My body pains are still the same and my motivation and enjoyment of activities is still the same (near non-existant). So I guess the Wellbutrin is taking it's time to work. I have 3 more weeks to find out - my pdoc wants me to be on the dose for 6 weeks before making any changes. I read the forums a couple of times a day and send hugs to those of you struggling and high five for those of you that are doing better! __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin, Vraylar My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.

My husband got an email confirmation for a food order at a chain place he didn't make. Apparently someone has either stolen one of his credit card numbers or something else. He's investigating it. It's ridiculous! We only recently had to get a card replaced for this very same type of reason, and other times in the past, as well. Can't they do something to prevent criminals from doing this so easily?
Apparently the thief is from our state, but the food order was made in one halfway across the country. Hubby found out the last four digits of the card and we looked through ours and none match. I'm not sure how to explain that. I hope it's not an identity theft case. Hubby will be looking into this. Last edited by Anonymous46341; Aug 23, 2019 at 09:18 AM.. |

Doing ok. Took vacation day today and hubby and I are going out of town tomorrow, yeah!!
I took the civil service exam Tuesday for the next level up at work. Not feeling good about that at all. I haven't taken a test in years lol. Oh well, I know what it's like and I'll just retake it when I can. The test for this position doesn't open up very often and I just kinda thought, what the heck, I'll just take it. Not really looking to leave the department I'm in now. I really do like it and I'm so happy I made the transfer, but it would also be nice to move up one more level before I retire. This has been the longest I've been stable in years and it feels good. I actually have vacation time built back up and can take days off just to take off and not because I'm a mess. I think the move to this new department has been one of the best decisions I've made. I really like going to work every day now and I'm constantly learning new things. I love it!!
