My meds, and my mom's meds

Sep 01, 2007 22:39

I saw my shrink Tuesday and we’ve dropped another med. He said I should be unstable and feared I would go manic at any moment. I’m just on 2 psych meds and I’m thinking of dropping the anti-depressant. To properly complete this medication makeover, all I need is raging mania, uncontrolled psychosis, crushing depressions, grandiose delusions, and ( Read more... )

I wish they had those dosing machines back in 1985 when I had my back surgery and had to wait for the nurses to give me another shot of morphine. Speedy recovery wishes to Mom.

Agreed, those dosing machines are a wonderful improvement over the old system of hoping a nurse will be by soon with another shot, but not getting more than forty-five minutes of sleep at a time over several days is just silly. The machine can be made smarter than that. I think she’s getting better but it’s hard for me to tell when I’m thrown out as soon as I arrive.

What caught my attention with that product is that it seems like the sort of thing a F2M transsexual might want, but I can’t imagine any F2M in a skirt. There are a wide variety of similar products marketed for use by women in public restrooms where it’s too disgusting to sit down. I find it easy to avoid places like that.

The psychiatrist who gave me the autism diagnosis is an expert in the subject and is quite knowledgeable about bipolar disorder. Unfortunately I lost her when she left the university research program. Yea, I guess that given my situation, I’ve got the shrink thing under control.

First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your mom, and especially the fact that she's in pain. I'm glad the tumor was benign. My in-laws are fond of your folks -- please pass on their best wishes, as well as mine. They'll be sad to hear she was hospitalized ( ... )

I saw my mom tonight and she’s doing a bit better. Apparently somebody was having a bad day yesterday. I’m unsure if it was mom, dad, or both. Mom didn’t say much to me tonight but she did enjoy talking to people on the phone. She said she had been suffering for four months. I thought I have been suffering for thirty-three years, but mental illness isn’t real, so I bit my tong ( ... )

You're a really good kid, you know that? I think back to when my mom was hospitalized and both my dad and I had to YELL at my brother just to get him to CALL. Bro and sis-in-law DID eventually have a bouquet delivered after Mom got home, but she would much rather have had THEM. Even Sean came with me once. This is the brother, remember, who defends my parents to the death and is sorry I don't love them. :) To visit your mom in the face of overwhelming and continual rejection -- like I said, you're a GOOD daughter. If they were my parents, I would have written them off. Believe me, I did that more than once, escaping to another state just to get away from them. They were lucky they knew where I lived and how to contact me, let's just put it that way. I have had other periods in my life where they didn't even know THAT much. I'm honestly glad that all that is behind us and we have worked our problems out. But that's because THEY were willing to play ball. I truly respect them for the many positive changes they have made, ( ... )

No silly, the Timothy Leary pharmacy hasn’t moved, it’s right where it has always been. On street corners and back alleys, corporate boardrooms and art galleries, football stadiums and university facility lounges. Anywhere that the human consciousness needs expanding. The trick is recognizing the pharmacist.

Oh yeah, and the urinator thing looks like someone's idea of a joke. :) It reminds me of a website I ran across a long time ago that taught women how to pee standing up.

The Magic Cone color is wrong -- it should be pink. Or lavender. :)
