I'm doing better tonight.

Today went well. For the first time in a few days I actually felt like a normal human being. I wasn't all fuzzy-headed and all went really smooth. I spent about an hour sitting around just petting Token. That really helped to keep me calm and I can't thank God and this great litter for saving my relationship with my cat. The 5-HTP is working really well, I only took 100mg tonight and I am pretty tired. I was busy doing a lot of things tonight. But the 5-HTP has proven to be effective so far. Good night and sweet dreams. I'll post tomorrow.

It's working...Wonderfully

Well, yesterday I went to Petsmart and picked up Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract cat litter. It was $13 for a 20 lb. bag and I really thought I was nuts for paying this price but was willing to at least try it. Also, I found a rebate form for the cost of the first bag to be refund to you with the UPC and receipt. So what did I have to lose. We brought it home and put it in Token's litter box. Within just a few minutes like magic he was using his litterbox. He is still using it today and haven't found any messes through the house yet. I am so relieved that this product worked and I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a "problem" cat.

I also came across a wonder pill for my bipolar disorder. Until last night I not been taking anything for my bipolar. The medications that I was on became to expensive. It's amazing how the pharmaceutical companies have such high prices on the meds that you need so badly. But low and behold. I was doing research and found 5-HTP It's difficult to explain how it works but, I followed the recommendations for dosage on a bipolar sight 200mg @ bedtime, 50mg in the morning and at lunch. I started taking this last night and I feel wonderful, I got a great nights sleep and have felt edgy or irritable at all today. I'll keep posting on how well it works and any side effects that I may have. It has been a welcome thing for me, and I am truly ecstatic about this supplement. Last night when I first took it I did have very bothersome nausea and dry heaves, then this morning I was a little nauseous but am doing better this afternoon. The nausea is common for the first few weeks until your body becomes used to the supplement. I have to go out into the world and do a bunch of errands now and won't be back until late, I'll try to post when I get home or early tomorrow morning. Come back soon.

Here I go again

The day started off bad, and I am very tired. I haven't been able to sleep well in two days now and it is really starting to catch up with me. After a very rough night from my family complaining about how horrible of a person I am, I have decided to spare the cat and try something that my husband found at Petsmart. I hope it works, that way everyone is happy again. I am truly able to say that I am almost at the point of just not caring anymore. Sometimes my family makes living with Bipolar a whole lot harder than it truly has to be. I am not that difficult to get along with. But, I am capable of making everyone around me as miserable as they make me. Hopefully this cat litter will work and I'll be able to report a better outcome than I have for the past few days. Well, Here I go again, off into the world for an opportunity to have a good day...check back later to see how things went.

Just as I suspected...

My day was exactly as I had figured it was going to be. Let's see, right now I am very angry, hurt, disappointed and pretty well confused. For two months solid everyone in this house has been complaining about our cat. So, I finally heard enough of it and put a classified in the paper for someone to take him to a good home. Well, now I am the most hated person in the world. My daughter even went as far as to tell me to leave the cat and get out of the house myself. Wow, how wonderful and supportive family is, huh? So, most of the day was spent arguing with family over my cat, and the rest was spent with me being very angry, mostly depressed though. I can't imagine my life without my Token and I feel as though I have no choice.
I am extremely tired and emotionally drained and need to go rest. This ends my post for tonight. Sleep well, because it's going to be another rough night for me. Come back tomorrow to see how my night was and how my day is going.
