Hi,
Three day weekend anyone?

How are you feeling?


I did a thousand loads of laundry. I don't know how two grown ups generate that much laundry. Sometimes I think that hubby goes through about 5 changes of clothes a day. Or else the clothes and towels and such are growing by having babies. That makes more sense than any other explanation.

I am hoping I sleep tonight. I need sleep.

Wishing good sleep to everyone who reads this.
Sleep is a blessing.

Hi. I have Sat. Sun. and Mon. off. yay! I need it too. Its bad when your cranky enough to want to smack yourself.

My son is a bit hypo but is handling it like a champ....such an improvement. - my younger neice thinks I'm the devil because I wont allow her to purchase and wear a string bikini to a pool party on Saturday, and is even madder because I wouldnt allow her to buy sorry excuse for music cd where the lyrics were about how women are good for nothing but sex. 12 is too dang young. Upside to the preteen drama - she didnt lose her temper and go off the deep end, (vast improvement) she just let it be known that I am the devil. Shes going to be even madder when she finds out the birthday girl's mom invited me to stay at the party and help keep an eye on the kids....

I caved and went and filled my klonopin script - even 3 or 4 hours of solid sleep is better then 2 hours of restless sleep.

On a good note my oldest neice made the 8th grade girls soccer team, and was moved to honors science.

Good luck on the sleep tonight Mari.

Looks like I'll be sitting at home this weekend...

My car is in the body shop and will be for the next couple of weeks...

My family---all of them are meeting at a campground for a big annual get together...

I think I'll just have a little "me" party here... I'm thinking of making some from scratch brownies...

Oh... I forgot... I saw the new Pdoc this week... She's WONDERFUL. We talked about my medicines and why the medicine that was chosen was the right one for me.

I went to Tdoc today...we talked about my car wreck and how I handled it without hitting the panic button or freaking out.

Not sure what else I am doing this weekend... I think my younger sister and her family will be through here sometime this weekend on their way home. I hope they do stop... even if it's just a few moments so I can hug on my nephew and niece...

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend... stay safe.

Dear Friend,

How much Seroquel and how often?
It might be a good choice. It makes sense in some ways.

My Doctor said try 25 Mgs when I have the pain in my chest,and are upset. I have these mania episodes,and I never know when they will happen. I took some yesterday,but not today.

Today I seem to be better then normal...No emotional crashes,mania,or strong OCD patterns. I cannot be sure,but I will know in the long run. I don't want to jump the gun,and give it thumbs up yet.

I have done the research on it,and it seems to be a second generation antipsychotic used mainly for schizophrenia,and bipolar 1 illnesses. I read that it's used for many anxiety condition/disorders.

So far it's better then the Abilify that I tried. I stoped the abilify a long time ago. BF
