Yay for great days! I haven't slept since yesterday and around 4am, I left the house and started driving around everywhere.
I had breakfast at IHOP then I drove to various stores just to see when they opened.
Then on to walmart! They are ALWAYS open!! Then Kroger!
More driving!
Drove around until my father's business opened. Went to see him.
It was good and bad. My mind was racing like one of those hamsters on a wheel!
He was trying to have a heartfelt conversation and all I could think was, "Hey, I like that painting. I gave him that. I should have kept it because it's so awesome. Nah, he like's it too much. Hey, my nose feels funny. is my nose peeling??? my arms are because I was sunburnt...but is my nose? I should ask him. no. he is talking.....uh oh, what was he saying? Does he know I can't hear what he is saying?? no, I've kept my eyes mostly fixed on his eyes so that he wouldn't know...what time is it?"
One of those days *sigh*
I mentioned to someone not to long ago that I don't usually have spending sprees because I don't have money.
I had $20 so I put half in my gas tank and went to spend the other $10 at IHOP. Oops, it's gone. Then I went to the bank and got the last $30 out....oops, I spent that, too! OOOOHHHHH, I just found $53 on the ground!! I actually stayed there for 20-30 minutes to try to find the person that dropped it but eventually gave up and what did I do??? You guessed it! I spent most of that, too.

Again, glad you made it home safe and had a tasty meal and got to see your dad. Sunburn still, huh? Youch! Well friend, message me if you need a friend!!!
Hugz!
Your friend Laurel
My brother just got here and wants to hang out and play some games or whatever and now I just feel like taking a nap. I haven't slept in two days lol. What a terrible time for it to catch up to me.
lollster, I definitely got my share of walking today. Thanks for the concern but I am definitely staying home now. Even if I had money left to spend, I am too tired to go spend it hahaha. I thought it was going to keep escalating but then everything started calming back down. Now everything is heavy. Even thinking is heavy.
Enjoy the evening & get some rest!
Please don't ignore this mood change even though I know you don't want to but prefer to go with it, when your mood begins to feel more stable it could be because you are on your way down to a depression. Have your support system team/family & friends close by and please please please tell your pdoc, therapist and Dr what has happened if you see any.
I don't want you to think I'm trying to kill your happiness I just want you to be safe long term.
I do plan on telling my pdoc about it as well as one of my recent hallucinations that kinda freaked me out. The only problem is that I don't see her till some time next month.
My appointments are only once every couple months (they are busy). They have a counselor, too, with a wait that is not quite as long and I've been going to that but one my appointments got messed up and then I was no longer in the queue and didn't manually arrange a new one but I REALLY need to. Every time I've called to try, it was outside business hours.
