Be sure to tell them of this fear right away!!

Hugs and love!

Well I got about three hours of sleep. I took some extra zyprexa. I'm hoping I get more sleep. Otherwise it will be a very long day...

Still hurting from my therapy appointment last Thursday, but it's not as awful as it was.

I hope this Thursday my therapist can give me more tools to deal with this. I'm not optimistic that such things would work, it just feels too intense, but I'll give it a chance.

Today, my mom and I are going out to look for lamps. My new place doesn't have a light in the living room. I gave my other lamps to N1 when she moved into the same complex a few months ago. I had a blueberry bagel with cream cheese with coffee this morning. Yummy! I think I should've gotten more blueberry bagels instead of everything bagels, but oh well, they're bought now. Then at 2:00, the piano lady is getting here to take the piano. I really wish that N3 could keep his piano, but he has no place for it and they already have a piano there. But still, they have one there that he can play. Unfortunately, he's not taking lessons anymore either. The whole situation makes me sad. I think I need to go to the store and get some microwave meals to last me the next few days.

It feels bad to not sleep. Just laying there in the dark, trying to look at stuff online or watch Netflix but knowing that that blue light is keeping you awake. A long day, indeed! Here's to you getting through today.

I'm trying to get motivated to get up and do something. Need to run to the grocery store and do some chores. Going to buy some snacks for Tuesday's presidential debate. Something tells me it's going to be entertaining. Mood seems to be pretty decent today. I just need to quit being lazy.

I'm attending a zoom birthday party this evening. The people I'll be with are life-long friends, people I've known since kindergarten or before. They all lead "normal", successful lives. I feel very anxious. Even though they mean a lot to me - or maybe because they do - I feel like I don't measure up. None of them know about my mental illness.

I'm back from searching for lamps. We looked at side tables, too, but the one I liked they only had one of and I need two. I did go to Whole Foods and buy enough microwave meals to get me to Thursday. Easy- only need a fork! My absentee ballot came yesterday in the mail. I'll have to deal with that before I move and lose it. I put on a CD I made 15 years ago of a lot of the popular songs of the time- Including Godsmack "I ****ing hate you!" Cathartic if you feel like screaming/singing along! I saw a salt lamp at Whole Foods and bought it- only $20 and I've wanted one for quite a long time. I'm going to put it in my bedroom if I can find some end tables! I definitely need at least one to hold my CPAP machine, but a second would be nice- if the bedroom is big enough to take my bed and two side tables. The piano lady was supposed to be here now, but she cancelled saying she had a family emergency. I hope she can get it tomorrow. If not, I don't know what we'll do with the piano and the organ still!

My anxiety is fine today. I haven’t had any anxiety meds. I have had a Mountain Dew, a large iced coffee, a large Diet Coke, and I’m now drinking a diet Dr. Pepper. So I’ve had a lot of caffeine but my anxiety is still ok. So I don’t know what yesterday was all about except that I took Wellbutrin Friday and yesterday to see if I could handle going back on it. and that may be why my anxiety got so out of control. I was a bit moody this morning but now I’m ok. I got the huge mess in my room cleaned up. I filled an entire big brown paper bag with soda cans and other recyclables and the sink full of dishes. but everything is clean now and it’s so much better. The mess was pretty stressful.

Wellbutrin causes anxiety? I take Wellbutrin and yes I've had a lot of anxiety lately over my move. (It's still not nailed down as to if the inspection has taken place, or if I can get onto the portal to pay rent on Thursday.) You'd think that since depression and anxiety go together that Wellbutrin would take care of both.

Ok, like last time, we evacuated to my in-laws’. It’s been a wild morning waking up at 0500 to get out as fast as possible. It’s hard to pack and load in the dark.

Yeah I’ve had doctors refuse to put me on it before because of anxiety. They are not wrong. I was on it during the summer for about 6 weeks but my anxiety was so out of control and I was just on 75 milligrams. Then I tried it again yesterday and Friday and the anxiety was even worse then before. Once I got off it both times I noticed an instant difference.

Glad you see you back posting. I bet its been wild! Doing things in the dark sucks- especially when the power goes out in the middle of the night.

Maybe I'll mention this to my pdoc once I'm moved. Then that will take a lot of the situational anxiety away and we'll see what I'm left with.
