Field trip

Big day today. Saw my parents. Went shopping with them. Got an outfit for a special occasion. My parents brought my outfit that I wore on my special occasion. I plan to let mini me wear mine if it fits. 

Tomorrow my relation sees the specialist dr. I'm going with... Pray for the best. 

I'm glad I saw my parents today. I had to tell them to back off when I was giving my relative's spouse directions to a warehouse store at the mall. One parental unit was already anxious. I could tell. I told everyone to relax, take a deep breath and slowly let it out; in-law had a good chuckle at that. 

Since last I posted...

Since last I posted my family and I have gone through some changes. My relation has a new health issue that requires daily maintenance. Yes, Type II. We will know for sure in April after seeing the specialist.  I, myself, have had my medicine changed. I am OFF the Xanax and on Ativan now. That was fun! What a month! I kept getting angry at any given moment. My bill was horrendous! I realized what was happening and told relation to just run away from me. When I finished paying my bill, R asked me "how was that last week?"  Hardy har har! 

I've changed facilities for mental health now due to Calworks. I go to group therapy. I see both the counselor and psychiatrist. The counselor I see every two weeks. The psychiatrist I see once a month. Both are on vacation now for a full month. I see my group ppl weekly. 

Tired and antsy

Last two nights I've been up til 3 or 4 am.  It's hurting my health because I still wake up early. This past weekend. 

Independent walk

     Today I walked from the house to the corner diner. That's about two blocks, maybe three, from the house. I did it without any nervous anxiety. However later in the day I did have to take .5 Xanax. 

     It's so HOT! and HUMID!  We went to the toy store for public AC. Here at "home" the AC isn't turned on until late afternoon. AFTER everyone has suffered! 

I'm adjusting my meds again after seeing my psych and MD. I don't go above my Rx but I try to go below the Rx; especially for Xanax. 

Team me

     Since I talked to my support team I feel much better. My ears, nose and lungs are clear; no infections. Yay! My BP was 128/75. I had my blood and urine taken for tests. When my physical comes in September my results will be in. 

     When I wet to the pool with my dependent I didn't have any major problems. I minimized my Lexapro to 20mg and took 1mg of Xanax. No problems there. I'm remembering why I got off Lexapro. Side effects affecting my heart rate. That affects my nervous system. Then if have to take a Xanax. Then I'd feel over medicated. The original intent was to find a different medication other than Lexapro that I have NOT YET taken. 

The weather sucks

     The weather this last week has been extremely humid. Yesterday it was 66% humid. Today it'll be 76% humid. Please rain! It would be better for all. Yesterday we three felt crappy. We all suffered some form of anxiety from the humidity. Mini-me refused the public pool because someone pooped in the pool twice! Friday and Monday! Lovely. My fave was the parent trying to sneak in their chicken pox child to the pool. 

Summer vacation

     This summer I have been taking my dependent relative to the park. We use sunblock, however, consequently we have still gotten tans. I am a FEW shades darker. 

     My new psychiatrist Dr. C. has returned me to my previous medication routine. I'm glad to have a new Dr. Dr. C. is younger, more focused, on time, etc...  Dr. F. had family issues that kept the dr out.
