2/7/12

Took a nap from 6:00-7:00 this evening. I really didn't feel great today at work. My stomach was pretty upset. I started taking Prevacid and bought some liquid anti-acid which helped my heartburn. I hopefully won't get it anymore taking the Prevacid pills. That shit hurts especially in the middle of the night when you are asleep. I don't have any idea why my stomach hurt though. Maybe just a sour stomach. I ate and everything. 


I've been sleepy the last two days. I did wake up about 3 times last night within a couple hours of each other. It's disturbing my sleep. I usually have to go to the bathroom, then I'm stuck up for like half an hour to an hour or so. Then I just can't wake up in the morning till the last minute and I have to rush. 


I called my psychiatrist office today and talked to the receptionist. They need to be Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) contracted or they won't cover the appointments. I'll have to meet the $1000 deductible and then they'll only cover 50% of the fee. So, asked her to get on that soon. I also told her that with my old insurance I saw them 13 times last year instead of 12 times and they will need to get pre authorization to get paid for that. I hope she does all this in a timely matter. I don't want to have to pay out the ass just because they didn't have their shit together. If they don't get it together I'll need to get a new psychiatrist and I don't want to do that. 


Besides my stomach upset, I felt pretty good today. Nothing negative going on in my mind. I do think the Viibryd is helping me with the depression a lot. It's weird how one medications works better than the other even though they are in the same class. In my case, the same manufacturer. I'm just very happy that it's having a positive impact on my life.


I'm emailing with a couple of bipolar spouses that are having a hard time. Trying to be as helpful as I can. The guy says I've helped him through the toughest time in his life. That makes me feel good that I'm making someone's life a little easier. It's tough on spouses when the bipolar person doesn't take their medications and cause chaos by leaving them. Especially after many years of being together. I've really grown fond of most of the people that I've met online.
