Hi @mamador Marianna,
How does melatonin interfere with your meds? I ask, because I’m going to take melatonin again, too.

Went on wasp patrol in my sweats and hoodie with my spray and fly swatter this morning. I hate bees & wasps. The last MF wasp in my house stung me in the back 3x before I hunted him down.
This one was tricky, but finally landed on a small high window above the normal window, I dragged out the small ladder, and snuck up on him and BAM! Maybe got him! The ledge is too tall for me to see. So he’s either dead or plotting my demise.
If this is my last post for the day, the wasp won!

That made me laugh so hard! I had that same thought to just board up a room or move!
But I live alone, so have to be the Warrior to protect Max and Riley from the outside enemies!

And stink bugs!! WTF are they? They usually show up in the fall, if anyone else has an issue, I found out they hate the smell of cloves, I dumped a bunch of whole cloves outside my front door and it definitely helped.

Hey! So, while I can’t remember exactly what the specific wording was, I do remember my psych mentioning that with my Lamictal Rx it’ll interact in a way to cause excess sedation and can mess with the effectiveness/ apparently some higher risks of reduced life expectancy, etc. I don’t know how it affects other meds though, i just have bipolar 1 and don’t like to fw the small stability I’ve cultivated otherwise I’d try other stuff.
ETA- I definitely hope it works for you, it was somewhat effective for me before I got on meds; my brain still wanted to be awake at all hours but it was at least less so lol 
any sleep is good sleep 🤌

Well, I’ve always had an interest in Japan and Japanese history / culture, so I guess that it’s kind of a hobby now. I once worked in Tokyo for about 9 months, but about 600 years ago ! So, a few years back, I decided to start working on it in earnest, especially considering some of the really excellent websites that are now available… which really wasn’t the case in the past.
As for Turkish… well, yes, it’s also kind of difficult, but very interesting. From what I understand, it is one of the few “agglutinative” languages… which apparently means that Turkish speakers can (and definitely do) tack SEVERAL suffixes onto a single word in order to alter the meaning.
Example (and if I screw this up, any Turkish-speaking people please forgive me)…
Ev = house
Evim = my house
Evimde = in my house
Evimlerde = in my houses… and so on. If I’ve understood correctly (so far), it would seem that FIVE suffixes are possible.
It’s interesting !! 
But at least in Turkish (unlike in French), they write almost EXACTLY the way that they speak…

I guess that I have my counter set up differently than you do…
Mine says
00Y 01M 05D
21H 40M 29S
Still, the main thing is that the counter is advancing…
And yes, I did get the joke about “moving along” !! Though to be honest, things COULD be moving somewhat more quickly, and I would not be unhappy at all !! Still, things are advancing.
Speaking of advancing, I’m off to Switzerland for a few days as of tomorrow… some administrative things have to be done. Still, however “administrative” things can be in CH, it’s still about a million times easier than trying to get things done here in Italy !!
Anyway, I hope that you’re having a nice weekend… which applies to everyone else too, of course !
I suppose that I should think about packing a small bag.

Hi Kat here, 42 days clean from alcohol and Benadryl relapse.
Feeling great today and loving being Clean and sober, unusually feeling a lot of love and compassion for myself which I hope continues. Love and compassion for all of you on this board as well, sobriety is not an easy road to travel but we are courageous enough to undertake it, and get back up and try again if we have a setback.

Checking in. Funny how things work sometimes…I’ve been struggling with a migraine and sinus issues today but my mental state is better. I’m grateful for that, and for the support I have had through some challenges lately. Thanks to those who have been there for me. I appreciate my amigos here, you all are special humans.

Aaaah, I am sorry to hear about the health issues. Sometimes I feel odd before a migraine, do you think it may have affected you? So glad that you are feeling happier though. Always here if you need to talk

Day 1 - Back at day one after the last couple of weeks got on top of me. So today was all about self care. Better food, being present, less caffeine, a bit of exercise, less time on my phone. More rest. I felt much much better for it.
I will get back to basics and be kind to myself. One day at a time.
