welcome to my blog...

I have had a plan to create a personalized Wellness Recovery Action Program (WRAP) to help me manage my disability: Bipolar Disorder. I decided to write down in a binder a Daily Page that outlined the things I did everyday, focusing on some basic information to help me track my recent habits. I am hoping to change these daily/semi-daily blogs so that they will help me form my personalized WRAP. I will also be adding links that I think are significant to Mental Illness and also a separate link list for WRAP interests.

Derp de Derp Depressing... 2 Days in One Post!!


WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2011


Mood - Tired. Still sleeping too much. I took nothing. 
Physical - Stuffiness in general more tired. I went to bed at 6:00 am also "last night".
Woke up -  I woke up to Dad carefully asking me if I could make him lunch at 12:00 pm.  I made him a hot dog, sliced up an apple and gave him the last granola bar. Then I angrily called Mom to ask her what was up. I was kind of nasty to her. Again going to try to go to bed before 4 am.
Activities - Last night I did nothing for WRAP and nothing on a workbook page. Today Mom and I went to BJs and I spent over $200.00 in food stamps and cash for all the stuff I bought. I got some food and supplies for when Mom is gone. We then went home and Mom made pork loin, a small one and a green salad some asparagus and green beans for Dad (gout,) and a baked potato for us and a baked yam for him. Kevin started up my car and we drove it to Irving's in North Kingstown for gas until we realized we might not be able to start it up again. So we drove over to Jen's and I asked her if she could just watch her cell phone in case the car needed another jump. We were good and didnt' need to bother her. Once we decided to go to KFT and went inside to talk and eat we came out and the car was dead again. I had to call AAA but Erika showed up and gave the car a jump. Kev and I argued on the way home and he forgot to leave the car running so now it's dead in the driveway and I want to scream.
WRAP - Wrote this blog I will write yesterday's blog.  
Plans for Tomorrow I plan on jumping the car by getting AAA to come out and help me. then i will drive it around for a while WITH NO LIGHTS ON so the battery can maintain a charge. I plan on going to  I'd like to help Mom every night when she sets up Dad's plate for the morning with his meds. I plan on going to the Rhode Island Bipolar Support Group in Warwick near Sandy Lane. getting menu recipes since I've got 5 days of menus ready. Of course the blogging here and another Daily Page as well as working on more WRAP basics. 

A reminder: Thursday you are going to Rhode Island Bipolar Support Group in Warwick near Sandy Lane and down the road from EBC House (those FUCKING BASTARDS!!!) Sunday 22nd, Mom leaves for North Carolina until Friday 27th. Review menu for Dad. Make a shopping list for BJ's. Review appointments and come up with a realistic activity (at least one,) you both can do together that you can enjoy together. Find a movie Kev and Dad can go to and preplan it with Kev. Post the menu & recipes. DON'T FORGET TO PAY THE P.O. BOX BILL!!!

This is an article called:

"Underlying Factors in Overeating"

Underlying Factors in Overeating


It turns out expressing anger isn't productive unless coupled with problem-solving techniques.





But what makes things annoying? It's the question that NPR Science Correspondent Joe Palca and Science Friday's Flora Lichtman set out to answer in their new book, Annoying: The Science of What Bugs Us.




The 24 hospitals ranked in Psychiatry were named as among the best for challenging cases and procedures by at least 3 percent of psychiatry specialists who responded to U.S. News surveys in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Another 136 hospitals that received nominations from one or more physicians are listed alphabetically below the ranked hospitals.

Mood - Tired. Still sleeping too much. I took nothing. 
Physical - Stuffiness in general more tired. I went to bed at 6:00 am also "last night".
Woke up -  I woke up to Mom telling me it was  1:30 pm but slept until 2:00 pm.  Caryl had called from  Carquest. So I called him back and had to ask Mom for a quick ride into town to help him out with some deliveries and a shuttle run. I fucked up two deliveries.  Again going to try to go to bed before 4 am.

Caryl and I planned on going to BJs after work but it didn't work out. By the time we hit Wendy's we had no time for shopping and a movie. We saw Hesher. It was a good movie, kind of depressing but more like life than most of the Hollywood crap with the flabby happy endings. I watched 12 episodes of Scrubs the first season. I'd have to say it was good therapy just getting my mind off of things.
WRAP - I only wrote a daily page for today. I didn't even write this blog. 
Plans for Tomorrow Get my car started. Maybe go to BJs if Mom gets me up before 7 am.
