I have been napping all day. This new dose is kicking my *** today.. I ordered some dramaine and pepto bismol and I took that and my stomach feels a lot better than it did earlier.
But I didn’t need any extra Valium for the first time in 2 days. So that is good. I didn’t have any jerks when I was sleeping Both me and my mom are just knocked out today. Gary slept on the foot of the bed for an hour

Thanks for the new thread
 I’m debating whether I want to go to mass tomorrow or not. It’s gonna be 23 degrees in the morning on my walk there. I’d rather stay inside but I also don’t want to keep missing mass. But the weather should improve eventually. Today it was in the 50s and sunny tomorrow it’s in the 20’s. I think I am gonna go. At least if I can wake up on time. It starts at 9:30am. I’ll set a few alarms before I go to bed for around 6:30am or 7am. I have to stop avoiding it even if it makes me anxious. It just makes the anxiety worse in the long run the more I avoid things. I played some of my videogame Life is Strange: Double Exposure tonight. Really enjoying it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If there’s #100 Bipolar check-in threads and 100 replies that’s a lot of us checking in!
Love it.

I looked back because I was curious. The original check-in thread was started in December 2013 so it's taken just over 13 years to get 99.000 posts on check-in threads.

Approximately that many posts. Remember some new threads were started early for "technical issues" (yeah, we know what happened)
A depression forum with as many members could never keep up with our speed

I watched the news all day. My brain is fried. I listened to the Rosary to try to calm down.
W and I talked most of the day about current events. My mental health took a hit. I can’t go to sleep now and have a headache. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

100! I remember when we were at #25!
I forgot my Wegovy last evening so I took it around 4 this morning. My trip with Caleb was fun but ultimately we won’t be seeing Lewis Black again. He was just off his game. He’s 75 now and between that and the very drunk hecklers it just was no fun! Yes we had a repeat in the thread numbers recently, didn’t we?

I slept all day and all through the night. I feel fine physically and mentally. I think going back up on the lamictal is helping. I don’t remember what I had for dinner. Oh yeah I had 2 cottage cheese cups. I need to get some stuff done but not a lot. I had this dream where I was in some town or somewhere where everyone partied heavily for the first few months of the year. Then some evil person would take over and then after that a really evil person took over for the last few months of the year and the place was pitch black and everyone had to go into hiding until they could party again. Weird af dream.
Now I’m kind of depressed and tired. I need to get cottage cheese and other stuff.

I’m so tired. Slept very badly last night. Tossed and turned. Vivid dreams. Got up at 3:30am to make a latte. Will make another one shortly.
Light day at work today. Only teaching 2 classes plus a yard duty. Hoping like heck I don’t have a meeting after school today because I really don’t feel like finishing at 4:30pm …. Was going to straighten my hair because I washed it but it’s raining until 2:00pm so I’ll just tie it up and let it be. Going to the hairdresser on Sunday. Grey roots be gone! What grey roots?!? 33 days until I see my mom and my sister at the airport before my wedding. I can now officially say my wedding is next month!!! It will be here sooner than I realise ….. bring it on! Too much excitement (and tiredness). 5 weeks left of teaching before I go on long service leave for my 7 week break. A lot of assessments to mark coming up. Not sure I’ll finish them. I’m going to try but I can’t make any promises.

@Crazy Hitch I too tossed and turned with vivid dreams. Feeling tired now.
@MuddyBoots, nice heart. You’re talented. I woke up around 10 a.m. after a disrupted night’s sleep. Shortness of breath. Flip flopping all night. I think a full day of tv news messed up my relaxation response. I hope everyone has a good day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got a call from my pdoc's receptionist. I was supposed to have an appt. on the 3rd, but he has a family emergency, and I had to reschedule. The soonest opening is March 19. I really wanted something sooner than that, but no appointments available. She's going to put me on the cancellation list, and I really hope something comes up sooner which she thinks will but I don't like being in limbo with these things.

My penpal said my manic episode a month ago really messed with his own emotions. Apparently I wasn’t making any sense and I sent umpteen emails! I’m better now and we’ve been writing back and forth since Friday.

The sandman must have run out of sand. I too had a restless night. I got up late. Should hop in the shower and wash the lethargy away.
I’m watching Disney movies. First Robin Hood with the animals now the animated Peter Pan. It’s putting me to sleep. These were movies I saw in the theater. They are turning back time. I need to get my med boxes refilled. That’s my only goal for today.

Good afternoon. I slept well last night, 9 1/2 hours. Finished reading two books that I was reading today. Started a painting, it’s gonna be a few days till it’s finished though. Did laundry finally. Also colored in one of my coloring books.
Nothing else really going on. Gonna take a shower later tonight as I have therapy first thing tomorrow morning (9:30am) Probably just gonna spend the evening watching Naruto. Maybe play one of my games if I feel up to it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went out to get some stuff from Walmart and I also stopped for an ice cream and my depression is much better. My therapist and my mom say I need to get out of the house even if it’s just for a coffee.
I got an orange cooling blanket with an Amazon gift card I got for my birthday. Orange is my favorite color. I have an orange beanie, an orange Stanley Cup, and I have an orange Apple phone. I did do some EMDR stuff my therapist taught me because I had some anxiety this morning. Then I fell asleep for an hour and I woke up and my anxiety was better.

Oof my stomach is doing a NUMBER. I think I'm on day 9 of the progesterone? My doc said the bleeding would probably be heavier than a normal period and I'm normally really really heavy so I'm not really looking forward to that.
I gave up keeping my caffeine intake low. I'm going to avoid the mega doses I was consuming, but having 2 coffees a day and some black tea a day has made doing things possible. I've been writing lists and crossing stuff off and it just feels good to not feel incompetent because I don't know how to buy food (I still don't, but at least I get stuff now even if it's not the stuff I wanted or when I wanted it). I've even been working on my bookkeeping course again. I was supposed to finish by tomorrow but April 6th is my new deadline.

It was once again a toasty 90 degrees outside today. I was quite warm after my walk.
The head priest that helps run our school sent out a message today saying this will be his last year. He is a little older so is changing to a ministry that will better meet his needs. This priest will be missed-he has done a lot of good for our school. Mood wise, I've been struggling with SI, anger, and some faith stuff today. It has been a rough day and, because of this, I don't feel ready for Monday.
