Hi all,
newbie here. Another good solution is an app on ios called Medisafe. Its really nice because you can schedule meds throughout the day with reminders. Its very customizable. You can even have it remind someone else when you miss a dose, though I admit that I had to have my wife set this up on account of barely being technical. I hope that if you try it you find it works for you. For my check-in, I'm exhausted today. Adjusted my dose of trazodone done to 150 mg today, so I'm hoping I'll be able to wake up better in the mornings and not be as groggy. |

I don't use a pill box but I do use a free app called medisafe. It sends me a reminder to take my morning meds at 8am and my evening meds at 8pm. After you take it you mark it as taken in the app, so if you forget if you took it you can look at the app and see. The app also has goodrx built in, so you can see if you could get your medicine for cheaper, and it also notifies you about drug interactions.
All in all, I recommend! here's the website __________________ |

I feel like I'm missing out. I went for a walk today and it didn't do anything for me.
I feel joy and happiness only when something is happening. As soon as it's over, I go back to my low mood. I eat, I feel good for a few moments, and then go back to feeling low. This is not new, it has been going on for almost 3 years now. I'm just getting tired of it and am afraid I'm missing out on life. Just going through the motions... "fake it until you make it" but never actually making it. So what's the point of faking then? __________________ * 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.

I see my therapist tomorrow at 2pm, really not doing well with psychosis stuff so I'm worried he'll want to send me inpatient or admit me to PHP.

Yeah, I thought for sure it was Clozaril fo rme, but the pdoc said, no way, there are plenty of other good options first.

Well, I am really agitated today. I woke up in a good mood and was all happy and smiley, but now I am angry for no good reason. I feel like punching something.
I want to distract myself with TV, a book, etc., but I can't be bothered to do anything. I am just too angry to do anything and my concentration sucks right now. And of course, these problems only agitate me further. I may need to go out for a bike ride later on because I think it may relax me. Or maybe I can take a klonopin because I got a new script. |

I’m very restless today and nothing I’m doing is settling me down. I can’t focus. Probably time for clonazepam.

I'm fine today. I was a little annoyed this morning that out of the blue my husband said that his friend and his friend's wife were going to visit us today. I know that many people don't mind unexpected drop-ins, but they are too stressful for me. I like more notice than a few hours. Plus, very often when his friend wants to get together, he won't commit to a time (even to come) until the last minute. That's even more stressful for me. So hubby and I were rushing to clean up the house. I was also thinking that I had little to offer as snacks/ hors d'oeuvres. I was thinking I'd have to go to the dreaded grocery store. I had some cookies yesterday, but ate a lot of them. Then about 20 minutes ago, they cancelled their visit. Well, sort of rude, sort of a relief, and at least my house is clean. I sweated up a storm. I will need to take a shower!
Nothing else I want to mention. |

I do find that this kind of irritability and agitation is almost always associated with some emerging mania. Along wiht all this impulsiveness you have been sharing, I think you seem to be heading that way, at least from where I sit. __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

Been binge-watching Yellowstone with Kevin Costner. About a dysfunctional ranch family in Montana. My granddad was a rancher in Texas. Much of Oregon looks exactly like the scenery in the show, filmed at Yellowstone. Oregon, Idaho, Montana, parts of CA, all look extremely similar once you get inland near the mountains. Impossible really to tell where you are. Could be anywhere out here.
Anyhow, it has taken me back to West Texas and my childhood. Sure do miss my grandparents a lot. Wish we had never left Texas. Yes, there was way more financial opportunity, but to me, at this stage of my life, the chance to have a family I would take over big money any day of the week. Money really is the root of much evil. You need a place to stay that is safe and food and healthcare and stuff. Education. But other than that, all it does is get people into trouble, making terrible decisions and chasing things that mean nothing. __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

I got my bloodwork results back and it was decent. My creatinine is higher then it was before but he’s not worried. He said just to avoid certain pain medicines. But they couldn’t get the full bloodwork for some reason despite the fact there were two nurses getting my blood last Wednesday. So I have to go back on Friday. I was really hoping not to have to go back for a few months. I find it stressful going anywhere right now let alone a doctors office that’s located inside a hospital.

Doing pretty good to be honest I have been pretty stable lately with a few minor bouts of depression and mania. Went for a 160 mile motorcycle ride yesterday with the wife
