Make sure they check your blood pressure seated as well as standing. Sometimes blood pressure can drop really quickly when you stand up. It's called Orthostatic Hypotension. I've had issues with that. Your meds could definitely be a contributing factor, and also your blood sugar levels since you've had such a scant appetite. I hope they do a proper physical exam and not just psychological / meds related.


Yeah, I had trouble with that when I was on Propranolol for my tremor, that's why I had to stop taking it. I'll ask my psychiatrist when I'm in tomorrow and see if she thinks I need to see my GP for any of the issues I've been having, I trust her to tell me what she really thinks would be best for my health.

Even my non-detractors don’t want me to have a girlfriend.


Well, for what it's worth, I hope you one day meet the woman of your dreams and that you two fall in love and have a healthy, happy relationship. It would make me feel happy and hopeful for you to hear that you'd found a girlfriend.

8 after walk with funny child

Now 2... I am in the parking lot to go into library n feel scared to get out and have strange unknown people around me.... As usual...

Also reflecting on seeing the bad man and now I feel angry that he was staring at me in a weird way, as if HE hadn't been the bad guy.
No shame.

My brain is choosing to focus on that bcuz it doesn't want me to leave the car n be around strangers...

Somewhere at the bottom of the scale today. Maybe between negative 6 and 8.

I was right around zero this morning when I woke up. Maybe approaching 1. Not bad but not good. Feeling somewhat motivated. I managed to make a tiny bit of progress yesterday with a couple of things I've been working on, and I was planning to chip away at it again today.
Then I got a text from my mom telling me that my grandparents are getting rid of stuff and asking me if I want my grandpa's guitar.
That pretty much wrecked me this morning.
Basically the only tangible thing I've ever wanted is my Grandpa's guitar. I've always thought of that as one of the moments I'm least looking forward to facing as well, because it would mean he's gone.
So he's not gone yet, and I guess he's asking if I want his guitar now. It makes me think he's not planning to be around much longer. Kind of squaring up to face mortality. I've lost a bunch of my family this year from that generation, including my grandpa's twin sister. I don't really like thinking that my grandpa is getting ready to face the end.
I usually feel pretty bad anyway, when it comes to family. I haven't seen any of my relatives in at least five years. Some closer to twenty. I really want to be around them, but I can't really handle being around them, or living in the area of the country where they live. And when I think about it, a lot of times that brings me down.
I also haven't been playing my guitar at all lately. Generally feeling pretty worthless/hopeless with all of that, too. I've really been wondering lately if I should just give up on that altogether. Get rid of my equipment and call it done.
Anyway, my head's all tied in knots now and I've been crying all morning trying to figure out what to think. And I felt like I needed to say something somewhere and didn't really feel like I needed to start a whole new thread to say any or all of that. This seemed like a convenient place to say that I'm somewhere at the bottom of the scale today. Maybe -6 to -8. And why that is.
