I’ve got a headache and am very cranky from lack of sleep. I try to focus on the posts here but it’s hard to concentrate. Hope everyone is doing better. Hugs to all

I have been feeling a little weird today... you know, like scatterbrained. I guess I am just thinking of too many things at once for some dumb reason. I am also overwhelmed by the seemingly infinite amount of activities I can, want, should, could, would do. (Translation: I'm basically an indecisive idiot.)
My mood is fine; I am not experiencing a mood swing. I am just indecisive and frustrating the hell out of myself because I want to equally as much do everything I have been thinking of. I need to learn how to be more decisive instead of just laying on the floor and wasting time thinking about stuff I could do. Yet here I am... |

However, I am still in a now 3 month-long depression and have been both manic and psychotic over the past week or so. It is certainly possible that those things are related to language use. For example, my French is significantly better when hypo than when depressed. It does seem clear from fmri work that bipolar illness can have a big impact on language processing, so...

I wish my pdoc let me email her.
I need to be able to tell her whats been going on. I did not get the haldol injection on the 20th like I was supposed. So I have been taking 10mg of haldol twice a day which is a lot. Think I will go back to 5 mg a day 2x a day, what she prescribed. I have been so groggy these last few days. I think I will cut in half the klonipin (i think that .5mg would do the trick)I really like being able to sleep but this sedated feeling in the mornings is awful. bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

I just told my parents I have SzA. So scared.
So the conversation went surprisingly well. I was asked if I had hallucinations. I told them the most benign one. I told them my fears of telling them. They told me lots of people with MI raise families plus I have H to help. I reminded them H has BP. They said it seems really controlled on meds. They looked up what it was before they called. I'm not thrilled I told them. I also informed them I have been hospitalized 2x. They said to call them and tell them if I need anything. My dad talked about controlling it with diet. __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog Last edited by Victoria'smom; Aug 01, 2020 at 07:29 PM.. |

Thanks everyone for the support from last night's sobbing post. I finally took klonopin at 5:30 AM and slept a lot of the day. Now I'm feeling a bit agitated again. I just have too much on my mind with Charlie's death and knowing someone I love will die sometime soon too. He's had some problems the last few days and I think that brought it up for me. I don't know.
Tonight I'm taking the klonopin a lot earlier if I have to. Last night I was hoping my gabapentin would do the trick but it did not. I may take more of it sooner tonight. Last night I took one PRN dose at 10 Pm or so and then another about 3. This time I'll take the first dose if I need it but the 2nd more like 1 if I'm still up and especially if I'm crying. Hopefully that won't happen. I'm glad to have therapy Monday. I didn't want to talk about Charlie's death in the context of the human I love but now I need to. Hating teletherapy for this kind of thing. Tomorrow it will be 5 months since I saw my therapist in person. I haven't gone more than 3 weeks without seeing him in 14 years and without being at the center for 18 years. It feels weird. But last time teletherapy worked the whole hour for the first time so I'm praying that it works again. Thanks again. You all mean so much to me. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Had bad akathisia this morning.
Doc wasn't sure if it was geodon or clozapine, so he took me off geodon and lowered clozapine to 300 from 400. @BeyondtheRainbow __________________ |

It's been 5 months since I've seen my therapist in person, too. I also find teletherapy extremely challenging. I had 1 session that was lost due to internet problems, so now I feel anxious that that will happen again. But I've worked hard to get used to teltherapy. About the time I did my therapist went out on sick leave. So it's been a month since I've had therapy at all. It's hard not to throw up my hands. Anyway, I hope your next session goes really well. __________________ |

Feeling nice and calm today. My dog and i are getting along well. I didn't chat with my neighbors outside for too long as i know she'll get into things. But it was long enough to say hello. The weather was nice today and the forecast is for comfortable temps. I'm happy to turn the calendar a page to a new month and one day closer to my Fall hypomania. I enjoyed this day just fine tho. Had three nice Scrabble wins using my new non-competitive mode and am beginning to rediscover what i first loved about the game. Got SOUPIER for 97!
@bpcyclist: So glad i asked for clarification about your new writing style. I was getting worried about DID and here it is this whole other benign thing! Mix-up! I love a good mix-up! @falcon09: Sorry to hear you had akathisia. It's got to be one of the grimmest thing about psych meds. Hope it goes away tout suite. @BeyondtheRainbow: Sorry to hear you are still so sad about Charlie. A pet's death is so sad. Sorry you're facing losing a person also. Must be a very hard time for you. Sending prayers. |
