Thanks Bizi. No pain meds (I can barely get her to prescribe anything - she hates running tests and writing prescriptions) - she just said to drink tea and gargle with warm salt water. I'm using Chloraseptic spray as well.

PTSD. Triggers everywhere. Hiding, hidden, lost. I disappear. Then reappear sometime later.
The next few days I am pretty booked up. I want to hide in my shell, and cancel, cancel, cancel everything. Instead I am going to engage with life. Tonight I am going to my niece's year 6 choir concert. It will be great to support her, but being around children is very triggering for me right now. Still, it will give me rare time alone with my sister. I have to leave in half an hour. I am so not ready. __________________ Bipolar 1 with psychotic features PTSD "Phew!

Well, my Amazon got hacked into, even with two factor login, and furthermore, with a long, cryptic password. Their weak link in the chain, so to speak, is they send the authentication number to your email when changing the password. All normal logins has the number sent to your phone, which is more secure. So I spent part of this evening changing my password on a dozen critical accounts, including all my email accounts.
I have been meeting this lady to talk, for something to do. She has BP I. She has endured sexual trauma, and other significant traumas. Her family generally either ignores her, or treats her poorly, none wanting to understand her illness. She has been hospitalized, and in trouble with the law. Recently, she had been arrested, court ordered for a stay in the psych ward, a court assigned pdoc, and cannot leave the county without permission. She frequently stops her meds thinking that she has been cured. Being *seven* times homeless while manic, I would think that she would of learned something from these situations. I am not interested in a romantic relationship with her, but she is. I just do not need the drama. She is a good and giving person. She is just very mixed up, and as such, with very poor judgement. Not entirely stable. I wish her well. She is calling me at least once a day, or more. She is in a very needy state of mind. I soon need to talk to her about this, just having us as friends. Everyone in my family is OK. My stepson could not fix my car, so he is sending me to a mechanic which will cost me money that I do not have. I am getting financially desperate. I may become an Uber driver. This does not sit well with me. I may also apply to Walmart, Walgreens, and Amazon. They may not turn me down like all the other businesses have. During the night, my large dog flops down on top of me, and goes to sleep. This feels like a massive weighted blanket. I cannot get her to move. So I have to work my way from underneath her, and then she will listen to me and jump off of the bed. What makes this worse is that I am already under 30 lbs of weighted blankets! LOL ...and life goes on. PS I just spent $500 on needless headphones and an audio amplifier. Why oh why do I do this to myself??? __________________ Dx: Bipolar I, ADD, GAD.

I got 3.5 hours sleep
I had a frank conversation with my wife about hypomania and mixed states. We talked about the symptoms and she asked what she could do to help if I end up there. I just said, call my pdoc. __________________ * 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.

All of the stress has affected my sleep lately. I've been waking up between 1 and 3 am for days. Some nights I have gotten back to sleep a little, some not.
My husband will take the day off from work today to be with me when I visit my brother in the hospital. If my brother gets to go home at the end of the day, hubby will be the driver to take him home, along with me. I just don't feel well enough to do these things alone. |

How are you feeling today? I wish there was something I could do to ease the pain. Is there anything that can be done or do you have to ride it out? Sending hugs, prayers and healing vibes.

Well I'm on my way back to the mayo clinic in about 40 minutes. Getting real tired of the drive. Takes about an hour.
I'm hoping mum is released today. It's above freezing, so only rain. Tomorrow looks like more of the same, I'm just tired of the drive. Don't know how my daughter does all that driving she does everyday. She lives in a smaller town about 30 minutes from here and comes here mon- Thursday for classes. On Friday she came Runnings to help me get mum to the ER. Then Saturday and Sunday she drove here to pick me up then to the mayo. She has an internship she's almost finished with and her full time studies plus homework and two kids. Plus that the daycare is closed this week! She really impresses me. And here's me whiney that I have to drive again today! I managed to pick up some power bowls at the store last night so I can just throw one in to nuke tonight. So unless they release mum today it's just drive over and stay until night time and drive home. That doesn't sound strenuous. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
