February Mental Health Report

Posted Feb 23 2009 9:39pm

This month has seemed to fly by and it is already time for the monthly trip to the mental health doctor. Here we go again.

Medication
- Seroquel 100mg four times a day
- Effexor 150mg once per day
- Cymbalta 60mg once per day
- Temazapam 30mg once per day

Medication overview
- something is not right but I have no idea what it is. I wake up in the morning and I am approaching manic and the first medication dose of the day (Effexor, Cymbalta, Seroquel) seems to speed me up rather than slow me down. Once I hit the second dose of Seroquel around supper time I start to slow down and by the fourth dose of the day at bedtime I feel as normal as I can be. I have tried eating breakfast in the hope that an empty stomach is the trigger but it does not seem to make much of a difference.

Self Harm Behavior
- I have not cut since my last hospital admission though to say this is no longer an issue would be a bold face lie as the thoughts are pretty damn near constant plus dreaming about self injury is a pretty common thing

Physical
- Other than a cold that does not want to go away I feel pretty good physically. My weight is in check although I still do not have any idea what I weigh but that is not important

Sleep
- Ten hours seems about right although some days it is closer to twelve. Nightmares are pretty common but that is nothing new.

Depression
- The little things will send me plummeting down in a heart beat. Stuff that should not affect me seems to be enough to start the depression spiral.

Anxiety
- Again the first part of the day is terrible and I think it is a medication thing but I have no idea what or why

Overall
- The first half of the day bothers me and I hate to go anywhere in this period as my brain is bouncing around so much it is difficult to concentrate. I am trying to keep busy with a variety of web projects even though they tend to cause a lot of stress at times but I have no idea how else I would fill my day. I keep thinking about therapy and will question the doctor on available options in the community.


Bi-Polar Disorder Guest Post
I guess I was not clear but what I am looking for a an article that is similar to what is already on that site which is basically an insider view. Also I am looking for a post/article that is written specifically to be shown on untreatable online. I could compose an article written by the variety of sites and information that is already online but it would not have the feel that I am looking for.

Other Projects

- Eyeball Tattoo Illegal Photo
