3. I woke up this morning with a tree full of friends. It is so much fun to interact with people on this platform.

If you feel stuck, down, or just need to make self care a habit. Try out #Finch.

2. Because I wanted more points and to complete streaks I finally got into the habit of action.

While I had a length of time where I was doing well. Inevitably I fell into an episode and the hits just kept coming one after another.

I downloaded #Finch again and have slowly been making progress.

Thank you so much for your support. I will be sure to remember you as a resource. I have many coping methods in place but I'm always open to new strategies and perspectives. HNY!

Nope. All the non stimulants either didn't work or sent me into mania. Working now to get my mood stabilized. After that I may try ADHD meds again, not sure my body wants me too though.

I hope it works well for you. The experimenting is rough. I hope your search ends with this medication.

I tried it for about a month. The dose I started on helped me watch TV but I still wasn't able to focus on work.

We upped it to 60 mg I think and oh boy for a week I was so tuned in. I was working, socializing, and eating! Doing all the things.

Two weeks in I was manic. And discontinued use.

7. To wrap all this up...

I'm saying goodbye to 2024. It was a hard hard year. I've never wanted a year to be done so bad in my life time.

Hello 2025! I don't know if it is going to be any easier. I'm going into it knowing there is going to be a fight!

11 more hours!

Happy new year, y'all.

6. I'm looking into a nonprofit that helps get pro women legislation to Congress.

I met someone at a networking event and the group seems to align with my values.

I hope I can help right the wrongs done to women and their access to medical care.

4. I am looking for opportunities to help who I can with the incoming administration.

I am letting go of the guilt that I will not be able to stand strong on all fronts.

I will keep an eye on my mental health and pull back when needed.

4. I've had no mood dips for two straight days. So definitely feeling more balanced at this moment.

I've been working with my therapist on letting go of what I can't control.

I have control issues so that is really hard.

Letting go does not mean you loose interest in the issues.

3. The psych is worried that I'll have an episode if I'm not medicated. That will probably happen, but I feel like I'm better equipped after this year of ups and downs.

Then you add the state of the world to the state of my mental health...

Really rough year.

2. At my last psych appointment I floated the idea of tapering off all the meds and then seeing what comes up and then make decisions based on that.

In all honesty I think the meds are doing more harm then good. I'd love to see my mood cycle without the meds.

Weaning would probably take a year.

My son said this to me yesterday. He's 17. He and you are absolutely right that this is a bit peculiar.

I would definitely pay 50 for this hat! It's really awesome. I do wonder if they take you 4 hours and then adding supplies you might not make a profit.

I cannot sing it's praises enough! I might need to see it again. I just got a free ticket from Flix in my email. Let me know if you want to go together.

Yes to all of this! Especially another hour of @nicollewallace.bsky.social !
