Bipolar Moods

So had a good day at work, got lots of scanning done.  But on the way home from work after being in a fairly good mood all the sudden I am down in the dumps, depressed and crying.  WTH?.   Seriously hate being bipolar.  Don't know what triggered it or why in the hell I was crying I just was.  So I had some stores to stop at, but talked to my hubby and he texted me and told me he would hold me as soon as I came home, he even offered to let me go to the stores tomorrow, but we needed more Gluten Free tortilla shells so I decided to just go to the store tonight.  I take my dog Ruby up to my parents house on the days I work so she can go potty during the day and because she LOVES LOVES LOVES going for a ride and going up there, so tonight my headache was really bad and my mom said I looked yellow and pale, I told her I did not feel very good at all, which was true.  Have had a headache pretty much all day long, it's a pain medication type of a day.  I was told by my neurologist to only take pain meds twice a week, that includes anything over the counter, so I get to deal with migraine headaches every single day.  The pain meds don't completely get rid of the headaches either.  I am probably going to call the neurologist next week to see what he wants me to do, increase to 3 of the Topomax or what not, cause it's been 2 weeks since I saw him, I think I should be doing a little better by now on the increased dose.  My psychiatrist said that I can go up to 150mg of the Topomax (it's also used for bipolar and anxiety), and I am on 50mg at the moment.

So I got home and immediately got a big long hug and kiss from my husband.  As I have mentioned before he is super supportive and amazing.  He has been so wonderful this week with my ups and downs.  He stopped at Dollar Tree on his way home and got the kids (fur) some brushes, the dogs some bones to chew on.  I love that my honey thinks of our babies.  Feeling a lot better the longer I am home and the more I get to snuggle with my hubby.  He makes for a great anti-depressant :)   Even have a smile on my face at the moment.  Laughing too.  This is how bipolar works, don't like my mood just wait a bit it will change :)  Watching one of our favorite shows, The Big Bang Theory.   Laughter is good for the soul.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...

🌿 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? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
