Hello,


I believe everyone is right I do need to cut back on the caffeine, my anxiety and heart cannot take that.


- I missed my therapy appointment again.. this time I overslept.. I was worried they'd kick me out of the program until January, thankfully they did not!


- Day 1 on Latuda and honestly I feel really good, not crazy irritable, not having severe swings, not super low. Hopefully this medicine actually helps. Fingers crossed. 
( Latuda + Adderall + remeron = Happy Kayla ~so far~) 



how was everyone's morning/afternoon/night go/going?

That is so wonderful to see all that! How wonderful! My morning is going good. Being Basic as can be this morning drinking a pumpkin spice latte and spraying my home with pumpkin spice room spray while listening to my fall playlist. Fall is my favorite time of year so I am going all out till winter. How is your morning going? I really love to hear that you are having such a great start on Latuda, it is such a great feeling to have. I felt that way when my doctor increased my mood stabilizer and it was the best feeling ever. Like things were clicking into place with my meds. I am so happy for you. Sounds like that may be happening for you as well.

Glad Latuda is off to a good start! I have experienced that different meds and their relation to caffeine intake are important to consider! Some meds I was definitely more sensitive to caffeine.

I am having a very stressful time in my life that I am working very hard to avoid escalation into an episode. I have been having to take my prn ambien most nights otherwise I wont sleep due to stress levels. I’m taking a needed break right now to check in with the group before I have to jump back into work meetings. Hugs to all.
