Counselor Visit & More

So today I had an appointment with my therapist. We went over a letter that we have been working on for a while, I have to re-write it with some adjustments so that will be fun, it was hard enough writing the reply letter. My therapist also told me that I need to think about where we want to go with my 'maintenance' treatment in the future. That feels really good that she thinks I am stable enough to go onto a maintenance plan for my talk therapy. It is hard to believe that it has been a year since my attempt. I am so incredibly grateful for the whole experience, it was definitely an eye opener as far as my Bipolar went. I have never really been educated as much as I have been after the attempt. It feels good to know now what I do know about bipolar. I have learned so much as far as who I am as a person. I must thank my husband for his undying support through all of this. I am on several bipolar groups on facebook and so many of them have unsupportive spouses or significant others.
It would be a lot more difficult without my hubby's support. He has a 'radar' and can tell when my moods are 'off'.

I have had some hypomania this weekend. I stayed up until 4am on Saturday night. Usually I am lucky to stay up until midnight. Was just goofing on the internet and watching tv shows. I decided to push my geodon back up to 2 pills a day. I see my psychiatrist next week so I will be talking to her about the geodon as well as taking me off of the trazadone, it makes me so incredibly groggy in the mornings I am afraid I am going to get in a car accident on my way to work, which is not safe. I think she will be supportive of it, she has been pretty awesome in helping me with my medications.

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar?
