Hey there. Bipolaronfire, Florida Edition here. I gotta tell you, I pulled off a masterful manipulation with Dr. BigHeart at my last ECT appointment. I got him to prescribe me a stimulant (angels singing). Because I have no “Get Up And Go” in the mornings. It’s like I never quite sleep off the Clozaril/Clonazepam/Progesterone BAM BAM BAM that I do at night. So I convinced Dr. BigHeart that I needed a little kick in the morning. He prescribed Vyvanse 30 mg. Today is my first day of taking it. So far, I am still in the bed. I got up (ok woke up, I haven’t gotten up) two and a half hours ago. I still have hope that I will float off this bed and start exercising in the Florida sunshine. Actually, it’s a requirement that I’ve given myself. I WILL go to the beach today and I WILL walk and I WILL ride my roomie’s bike to the beach (it’s a killer ride) Not in that order but you get the gist, right?. I’m setting a deadline of Noon to get going, I have to go to the store to buy a bike lock and a hat to protect my poor scalp from burning. Then, off to the races! I’ll let you know how it goes. How is your November 6th going? Peaches!
It’s that getting up out of bed, or in my case off the couch, and out the door that’s a bitch. Overcoming inertia… Best of luck to you (and me).
Yes, yes yes!!!!! Overcoming inertia is job #1, isn’t it? Good luck to you, luv ❤
I hope you enjoy the beach today. I went out first thing this morning and it was wonderful. Great way to start the day
I had a great time. Kicked my own ass on the bike ride! 🙂
I blame the daylight savings mess for my lack of motivation this morning. Hope you had fun at the beach!
I had a great bike ride to the beach! And then a great walk on the beach. This Florida shit rocks!! 😀
Shoot, just one Celexa, Zoloft or any such SSRI will have me jumping out the bed within hours. I had no idea you were in Florida. Me too—the sucky part though.
Where is the sucky part?
Jacksonville area. Need to be at the warmer end.
Well I really like this Largo/Clearwater area.
I like Key West, but I can’t afford to live there. I try to visit once a year.
Oh I am really excited to go check out Key West!! 😀
Its like a fantasy land. Everyone is friendly; the scenery is beautiful; there is no crime. Additionally, it never gets cold there. I’ve been there three or four times. Hoping for a fifth visit next year.
Ooooh I can’t wait!!
It was great to read this update! As a former certified personal trainer (American Council on Exercise, baby!) I am inspired to encourage you to keep exercising your fiery little rear off!! The setting sounds awesome and peachlicious! Keep up posted about the Florida Edition – I’d write more but my mean nine-year-old is shoving me off the laptop. I think I’ll pass gas at her!
