@Lionheart777. Good luck getting those down.
@MrMoonlight hoping you get sleep tonight and have a good day.
@blackemerald1. Hope you stay safe. Hugs.

I just finished a short yoga DVD I used to watch 5 years ago when I was getting sober. I was in better shape back then it seems because I'm not that flexible right now. Went from being depressed about the aprn mentioning a new med for my hypomania to laughing because I couldn't do some of the stretches. Really need to take care of myself. I put in one of the other short workouts and it had a warning about do not do this if you are light headed or in pain. So I stopped it and turned it off like a "responsible" adult. I haven't eaten yet. No real desire to do so. But going without won't help me fight off my symptoms. My husband will go with me to the appointment on Tuesday for new med for this. Gee can't wait to read the side effect list. I don't know if he can go in with me. Was hard enough getting the ptsd diagnosis. Now this. I'm scared of what this will do to me. And will I be so drugged I won't feel anything anymore. Has to be done. The manic states feel wonderful and terrifying at the same time. And I know its not me now that I've been sober 5 years.

Hi. I appreciate everyone's response about my blood pressure and blood sugar issues. I will definitely take your suggestions into consideration and appreciate the benefit of your experience.

I just finished doing physical therapy. My BP this morning was 176/85... that is way too high but the medicine got it down to a lower level so that I could participate in PT. Although it needs to be lower.

I'm working on changing my diet this morning. I plan to order some green tea/back tea and a little flavoring (no calorie, no sugar), to add a bit of taste instead of drinking coffee with sweetener and creamer.

I am also going to try fish oil for the omega-three fatty acids and work on getting my triglycerides normalized. I will see my doctor this afternoon and I am gearing up for some diagnostic tests to take place tomorrow afternoon.

@Lionheart777 - A hack for you: Put your fish oil supplements in the freezer to keep from having horrible fish burps! ? Good luck tomorrow. I hope the doc an give you some additional support to get you steered in a healthier direction. ?

@MrMoonlight - Sending mittens to cover your fingers and a dollop of courage to get you through the dentist appointment! ?

 

[MrMoonlight]

Thank you @VioletButterfly ,sitting with the Dr in the waiting room. Just took my first halcion. Should start kicking in soon. Thanks for the courage and mittens.

I'm reading what my homies are doing this morning and starting a to do journal. I write the project I want to work on down, take pictures of what I'm doing and journal on how it went. It adds a whole nother step to the project, but I like to look at the journals later.

Contemplating my dinner strategy. I'm thinking grab and growl leftovers is the best route to take tonight. No food is wasted and the fridge gets cleaned out. Now if the dishes would just do themselves, we'd be all set.

Getting ready to paint the hopefully last coat of paint on my drop leaf table, so I can wax it and bring it into the kitchen, and give away the old one.

I am just relaxing today. For the first day in a month I feel like myself again.I'm hoping this lasts. I feel like today I could deal with diagnosis day and new meds. I'd say I'm fine but this mess can all come back. And what if next time it's worse and lasts longer.

A sparrow just appeared seemingly out of nowhere flying around my kitchen and living room. Frantically trying to get out of the house it flew into the sliding glass door with a huge THUMP. Poor thing was just laying there unable to move. Little heart beating so fast and blinking it's eyes. I thought oh no it broke it's neck. Scooped it up with a hand towel and put him on the back porch. It just laid there for about five minutes and then flew away. Yay!!
