I just took my night meds but not the ambien (yet? maybe?) It's not an emergency? is it? Pdoc wants me to sleep but I don't want to get addicted.

Your walking yourself into the corner.. you need to do what your Pdoc tells you to do in regards to your medications.

Maybe you need to write it down next time you have an appt so you can look back at the paper and see the directions???

So my headphones ran out of power so they are charging. The music isn't loud enough! I hate hearing no all day, being bored, and annoying everyone.

So my mood hasn't dropped, yay! I have an important call concerning miguel's college. Hopefully I can focus and talk sense The way we want him to do school will save him $558.750-$1117.50 + books but the college wants him not to do it that way. They want him to take more classes a semester. I really don't want to state that he has disabilities to the adviser. They already love him and I don't want her opinion of him to change. They don't realize how damn hard he has worked up to now. I think the reason he changed his mind is fear of change. He likes his treatment team. He knows the staff of the school. He doesn't want to leave his friends. He knows he can keep his GPA good here. Not that it's not a challenging school. It's just a less direct route to his goal. He will need the support of the school to get what he wants.

So I found what I'm going to be asking to switch back to Zyprexa generic if and when I have to leave the state. I know it works for me yes it has it's side effects (sleepiness and high colesterol) but I can deal with those on a short term bases. It's on walmart's list. So I'm glad I figured that out.

I feel much better knowing my options as far as APs. H and I talked a long time because he thinks there's alternative motive. He didn't say what they were. I told him that the end goal is to get off medication later down the road.

I feel like I'm annoying people and not adding anything. The adviser never called :'( We're trying our best to get everything in because classes start in a little over a month.

Why did you take the ambien so late? That can really mess with your sleep cycles and mix up day and night and potentially really mix up your body. I'm worried about you...

I took it when H went to bed. To make sure if I only slept 3 hrs or something I'm not up alone. My son gets up at 9 am. I'm usually up with him. tomorrow (skip tonight/ melitonin tonight) I'm taking it around 2 am. or earlier, if H goes to bed earlier. I do not like being alone when time is slow. I'm more likely to do something stupid or dangerous.

YOu just sound really anxious right now. But if you get your sleep cylce too badly messed with (taking melatonin near sun-up definitely will mess with your brain since your brain produces melatonin at night) you'll go somewhere not good. You need to do whatever you can to be able to feel safe enough to sleep alone and be alone part of the day. Why are you so worried about being alone? I think you've said you don't feel you are a danger to yourself. Am I remembering wrong? (This is possible; stay-at-home is messing with my memory).

You choose to pretend. The belief you have to is part of what causes problems.

Are your thoughts racing? Are you having trouble completing tasks or focusing your thoughts? Do you feel impulsive?

I can't say that you sound manic. I agree with BeyondtheRainbow that you do sound anxious though.
