So if anyone is wondering I finished my elimination diet a few days ago. Apparently I am fine even with milk (which I thought impossible) although I don't think I'll drink as much of it as I used to because too much does upset my stomach somewhat. But I can have all the cheese I want as far as I can tell and a glass or two or some on cereal is fine.
I guess this just reset my system. I guess things must have been irritated in there and not eating anything for so long was the cure. So glad it was worth it. The whole thing started 9 months ago today. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

I really admire your dedication to sticking with that for 9 months. No way could I give up cheese for that long!

Today I got some cleaning done. Then Took a shower and talked to my big sis on the phone. After that I watched the evening news and honestly it frightens me. We have to go grocery shopping tomorrow and that makes me really anxious.
I hope you are having a pleasant weekend and I hope you are all coping well with this situation. __________________ |

I've had frozen pizza but am really looking forward to the end of the virus and real pizza from a pizza place. That's about my only goal now with the diet and that just is going to be a while. We aren't eating food prepared by others right now. I just wish that I'd come out of this and been able to have all the fresh produce I want. Instead I eat what we have and it may not be so good for my elevated glucose levels in my last test. But you do what you can do. And at least I won't be living on white rice like last time I was tested. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Drank a little tonight, no depression though. Just took my meds, it will be sleepy time soon. Today was ok, I did have a bout with depression earlier. I have to talk to my pdoc about maybe raising my antidepressant or changing it.

Clarification: I made the diet sound like it went on for 9 months. It was only 3; I just was sick starting 9 months ago. I just wanted to correct this and not sound sound like a drama queen and my time to edit ended while I was sleeping.

Trying to my best to deal with this whole pandemic situation. My anxiety has been pretty bad. Periodically bursting into tears. Currently I am still working, as I work in healthcare. Fortunately I work in a speciality where people tend to cancel their appointment if they're sick lol. I'm scared to go to work though, but also scared to not work and not get paid. I feel physically ill from anxiety every day while I'm at work. Keep spacing out, almost like how I've experienced derealization but not quite. We are seeing a very small amount of patients. I have had to cut all our employee's hours. Everyone in our practice have taken a pay decrease. Just trying to float this out. At least we are doing our part to keep our patients out of the ER by staying open.
I have to go to the grocery store today to get a few things. I'm anxious about it. I will go this morning when they open. I'd rather stay home. Keeping my son home. I will not allow him to go places with me. |

I slept from 12am until 7:30am with minimal waking up. I did wake up like 2 or 3 times last night, but not like before where I was waking up every hour or so.
I feel pretty damn good right now. I'm getting stuff done around the apartment! I have to take out the trash, but I'm scared to touch the handles to open the dumpster! Maybe I will use a plastic bag to avoid contracting coronavirus. I suppose that could work, yes? I mostly have a bunch of boxes, either from food (e.g., mac & cheese box) or stuff I ordered off the internet a while back. They need to be taken out!! But I suppose it'll be good to just get it over with and get some fresh air. Meh. |

I have no idea as to how people working in health care are continuing so courageous. I totally respect all you are doing to help patients and helping to take some stress off of the ER as well. the episodes of derealization types of experiences aren't surprising considering the overwhelming degree of stress involved. Are you able to ground yourself? There are some grounding exercises on youtube if interested. It's often even more stressful for the (practice manager?) management. I imagine continuing to work in heath care at this time might require using every coping skill ever learned? I am sorry you are going through this. I want to tell you you are a hero in many ways and I thank you for your courage and your dedication. I hope you and your son are safe and continue healthy! We are here for you!

I realized last night that I have addictive tendencies. By no means am I a hardcore drug addict, and I'm not really feeling up to going into details, but it is something I need to work on.
Also have a growth on my lip that's bothering me. I see my primary in about a month so hopefully he'll be able to do something about it. It bleeds a lot if I play with it. Am having some "issues" with my med combo, but if I stick to it the way my doc says to and add an Ativan here or there I'm mostly stable so I guess I shouldn't complain. I have some things I need to resolve because I'm just coming out or at least having a break from mania and made some mistakes with some people. I feel like a bad person. |

Everyone's opinion is different and valid, but from where I stand it sounds like you're considering making better choices for yourself in the future. I see that as good. |
