Unhappy

I am afraid that the lithium will effect my thyroid or my kidneys. We are checking it but if it elevates then you stop and it may not go back to normal.
What do we do then?

I'm sorry you have this worry. Is there something else that can be used like lithuim if you think its a problem. I honestly don't know.

Wish I was more help.

I really think you should get off of lithium. I was on it for a little while and it did nothing except put on weight. the psychiatrist was a fool. I am bipolar II and it doesn't work for bipolar II.
love you

Thanks bobby,

I am bipolar 1 so it is supposed to help with mania.

Not sure if it is helping me or not.
my addictions are still running strong.

Isn't there something else for mania? I wonder if one of your medications just isn't working.

I appreciated the reference to drinking because we are thirsty. that alcohol is a dehydrating substance. that we drink to satisfy a thirst.... but it does not help so we drink more. I know that when I stop by fat pats after work I drink quickly. maybe I would be better off just drinking water.
Tonight,
We are getting ready to go to a dinner party and I have been drinking all afternoon.
I started off with bloody marys at noon at brunch at the diner.
I did a couple loads of laundry and some paper work.

I am very happy to report that my back is doing so much better!!!!!!
Saw the chiropractor on friday and today it feels really good.
I set up a schedule for weekly visits for 2 months. Now I don't think I need that, but can't get out of it as I signed a contract.


The dinner party last night was a bust...I over drank. Got sick at home.


Had lunch with my friend Melissa, whom just got back from her Portugal.
She walked the Camino...sort of a pilgrimage.
......a total of 190 miles!!!!
Shared some stories, met a lot of people along the way.

She had a fabulous time.


We went out for dinner tonight. Had char broiled oysters they were delicious. Then I had cajun quesadillas, jeff had gumbo he said it was better than cris' po boys.


Our cat Hattie's cancer has grown again...there is a small sore on her back over the tumor. There really isn't anything that we can do. we said we were not going to operate on her a 3rd time....she is our DNR kitty.


I am tired think I will hit the hay. Bed time routine takes about 20 minutes.

I am so sorry about your kitty cat. Maybe it will go very slow. Fantastic about your back. What a relief! You really must fill so much better. Wow. Melissa is back all ready. It must have been interesting talking with her. Sorry about the party. The other food sounds so delicious!

I met with Carol(AAsponsor) tonight....
I really like her.

We have been meeting on tuesday evenings for a couple of months.

She wants me to start meditating. Daily if possible.

I am to set the alarm 10 minutes earlier and then when the alarm goes off hit snooze and then meditate until the alarm goes off again.
I told her that I was going to restart therapy again with Robin and go once a month.
She thought that is a good idea too.
She is a good listener and is wise.
