The Official 2020 Everything But The Kitchen Sink Post

I have respiratory failure with hypoxia. My oxygen just dropped to 83. When this happens, I say do nothing. It will be very easy for me to CTB.

But, since I am in a good mood today, I took my pumps and nebulizer and put on my oxygen. Honestly, if this happened yesterday when I was on very shaky grounds (along with everyone else. It was a bad day for everyone.)

This wasn't on my list.

I can say, the weather brought on this attack.

Ahh, breathing problems aren't good, many of my relatives were on oxygen and things. Makes it really hard in itself, I can't even imagine wanting to ctb, while having that and not just giving in.



When I had a surgery last year I had to have a chest x-ray.... apparently I have a "mass" that's in my chest compressing my lungs/esophagus that a doctor should've checked. My doctor looked at it and approved surgery. It was clear "further testing needed" on the chart as I saw the report--never was. Still don't know what it is, and in a way I really don't care to know.

That's really good, Im proud of you!! I've sadly not managed to get anything done, it's been a difficult day

Two things.
First... what's going on?
Second. Do 1 thing. Brush your hair or teeth for example. Force yourself to do one simple thing. The rest can go on tomorrow's list.

It takes so little to make me happy. ;)

I'm having a bad day for hallucinations so I can't focus on anything really. I think it's because I'm stressed. I'll try to take a shower tonight though, I need one.

Did you take your meds, and what are your coping techniques? Anything in particular stressing you out?

You just got up!!! I am getting out of bed to clean my cat box. I don't want you to yell at me!!!!

Take your meds!
I just cleaned the cat box and dumped it. And I changed the lightbulb (not on the list.) I don't want @Squiddy to yell at me!

I brought it up this morning for you to take your meds!!!!

 

[Squiddy]

I'm just hoping my Lithium kicks in eventually and gets rid of the suicidal thoughts

 

[Morphinekiss]

Why do migraines exist? I was going to do shit today and now it hurts to even blink

I know :), I took them too. Granted I woke up in pain today, so taking them wasn't an issue--even took one I normally didn't.

Migraines are annoying... really annoying... Sorry you have one.

 

[Jean4]

Be sure to follow up with your bloods!

Awwww. Good afternoon, even though it isn't good for you.

 

[Squiddy]

Be sure to follow up with your bloods!

I gotta ask my nurse practitioner about it

Yes you do!!

It wasn't on my list, but I am considering getting out of bed and put the water jugs in the closet.

 

[Squiddy]

Yes you do!!

Hopefully, it doesn't reach toxic levels

So lithium can reach toxic levels? interesting... they never told me I was going to need bloodwork... unless they were thinking of taking it away on next visit.

I have some of the symptoms of too much as a daily thing as it is--they wouldn't know if that was the only side efffect I had. So yeah... bloodwork probably in future.... assuming.

Which is why you need bloods. I had the symptoms and they couldn't tell if it was from my illnesses or the Lithium.
I'm not on Lithium now and have all the symptoms because of my Asthma meds. Shaking is bad.

Guess I'll find out... it is like on the 31 or so I think... actually need to check when he wanted to see me next. Although... I have noticed that shaking of hands isn't responding to beta blockers now...
