Unhappy
Am glad that I am going to see a substance abuse tdoc on tuesday.
I really need someone to help me.
Last week I saw my pdoc and asked her to increase my geodon because I felt like I was becoming hypomanic. She agreed. So I am taking 40mg in am and 80mg in the evening. But I need to take them with food for proper absorption.
Need to get some milk to drink before bed or maybe take my geodon with dinner.
We have been going out to eat more often and both have been drinking much more these days. I really think it is my bipolar contributing to this behavior. It is quite common for us to be dual diagnosis.
Yesterday, I got a lovely hand written letter from my old tdoc, I had only seen her for 3-4 times, I was seeing her monthly. She is in her 80's and I really liked her. She only charged $40 an hour because The baptist church does not charge her office rental so she passes on the discount to her clients. I wrote her a nice note, had called her to cancel an appointment and explain about my needing to see a substance abuse tdoc instead.
In my note, I wrote that I had realized that with her this was the first time that I had closure with a therapist. In the past I would just simply cancel an appointment and never follow up with a good bye or explanation for leaving. It felt good for closure.

She also sent me a copy of the news papers article about me and my business that she had saved, going thru her old files she found it and sent it to me with her note. That was 2001 and I was so much heavier then...it just shows me where I am headed if I am not careful about my eating...that is getting out of hand. My computer use is getting out of hand.
I AM GETTING OUT OF HAND!
What is wrong with me??????

It is supposed to be a gorgeous day, should get outside and do something. Jeff is back in bed hung over from last night and with an upset stomach/head ache.
I could not sleep last night, finally did then up at 10;30am.
I am still in my jammies and look a fright.
sigh
Maybe we need some marriage counseling...we are living above our means and this needs to stop.
sigh
