I woke up late and fairly alert this morning, and I'm not climbing the walls... at least not yet. I hope that the med is kicking in, and I'm coming down (fingers crossed). I was all over the place yesterday, and that's an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

I did buy another vaporizer for my MJ. This time I did my research tho.
The following morning I woke up feeling badly because it was an impulse, but then I started coughing, and I let myself off the hook. It was also under $100. Shipping was free, but QUICK. It's supposed to arrive today.
I REALLY hope this one works out. I need to get rid of this cough, and vaping vs. smoking pot should help with that. I'm hoping if I get used to it, maybe it will be easier to switch from cigarettes to e-cigarettes or something.

I have to watch this cough. It's nasty. Ordinarily I would have started taking Mucinex a while ago, but I've been so hesitant to take ANY more meds...
I'm probably gonna have to do it tho.

I am sorry you are getting this cough.
Hope your vape works well for you.

keeping fingers crossed that you come down from your mania gently.

Wishing you well, Kay.

What a difference one day can make!! I have come back down to earth! :):):):):)
I remained calm yesterday. No climbing the walls. And around 2pm I was sooooo exhausted I had to take a nap... and I slept until almost 6!

This morning I feel like myself. I don't feel anxious or agitated at all, my thinking is slower and more linear, and I'm not having problems sitting still.
I guess I crashed, but I don't feel depressed or dysphoric. I'm actually in a very good mood this morning :)
I feel zero symptoms of hypo/mania, unlike some of the times I've made progress in the past, so I don't feel like I will go back up again this time... but I don't want to jinx myself.


I'm not happy that I had to do it, and I'm not recommending anyone else try it... but I have to thank MJ for helping calm me down over the last week. I wasn't sleeping or eating anything but ice cream, and I was so f'ing agitated, I probably would have wound up in the hospital otherwise. Klonopin was doing nothing for me.

I really like the new vaporizer. It's very easy to use, it worked right away, and I enjoyed using it. I have to play with the heat settings, and I have to be careful what I put in there to smoke tho. I put in 2 kinds of pot that taste unpleasant when I grind them together and smoke them in my glass bowl, but they taste even nastier in the vaporizer. That's a pretty easy fix tho.

This is such great news!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you.
You stayed out of the hospital!!!!!
yay!
Thank goodness for you MJ.
Hope you are still feeling better and that you don't crash after this.
thinking of you today.

Corey was on vacation this week, and was miserable most of the time. He was either drunk, too hot, couldn't sleep, or just didn't feel good, and he was NOT pleasant most of the time.

He kept putting off the laundry, but it absolutely had to be done yesterday, but he was sick, and was in no shape to go to the laundromat, so I had to go by myself :(
The woman who works at the laundromat, Maureen, noticed that Corey wasn't with me, and offered to carry the laundry bag in for me, and I accepted her help. I bit off more than I could chew, but with her help, I got it done.

Our neighbors were being total a/h's again yesterday, and I either got really anxious or agitated IDK WHICH because it didn't respond to Klonopin, which usually means it's agitation. I smoked a little pot, and was calmer. I have to control my anxiety one way or another because if I don't, it can spark episodes for me, and I already know that they drive me bats*** crazy. Now, their guests are harassing us, too.

I will be going to the leasing office today. I hope to speak to the manager, George, vs. the asst. manager, Janet, because however she's chosen to deal with the situation, she's been ineffective. I'm going to write down what I want to say (and memorize it), and will make sure that my anxiety is under control before I go.

I don't know how I'm doing this morning because I had to drive Corey to work at 5:30am in the dark, on unfamiliar roads, and before I took my pills, which made me anxious. I'm couldn't fall asleep when I got home, so I'm very tired.

sending huge hugs

Corey's vehicle is his work truck. Since he drives a million miles to jobs all over the place, and he was going to be on vacation last week, his office decided they'd take the opportunity to make repairs and do maintenance work on it. But it was not back from the dealership on Friday, and he had to get to work somehow, so I drove him. They took him to the dealership to pick it up when it opened.

I had my final pool PT session (for now lol) yesterday. Unfortunately it went rather badly because I had trouble with the spasticity in my left leg. I couldn't nap when I got home because I was in too much pain. No nap today either for the same reason, but I was smart enough to do something about my pain and the spasms.

I went to the leasing office yesterday. Janet AND George were there. I don't want to get into everything that was said (I let 'em have it), but I was royally PO'ed because Janet said several times that nobody else had complained. I said I didn't give a s- about anyone else, and asked her if she wanted me to tape them. She declined.
I told them that they get so s'faced and high they don't care about anything or anybody but themselves, and I don't think anything will ever change (for long). George said he would speak to her... "say some gentle words to her." LOL

I called the office 3 times to complain, and Janet only spoke to Ellen ONCE.
We'll see what George can do...
