my gnosis quest

I'm searching for answers. I'm on a quest for perfection and for truth. For beauty. For sanity. For the light at the end of the tunnel. This is my struggle for knowledge and identity.

Yay! So I got my room cleaned up. I've been fairly organized and on top of things, and all the prep work for Fall Recruitment is fairly smooth.
I got my books reserved and all ready for class but I still need to get my ID validated and my parking permit. I want to hopefully get that done before the freshmen get here, so it'll be out of the way. Hair's done, nails are done.
I got my top braces put on Thursday and they really really hurt. I can't chew gum anymore, or any kind of chips or pizza or crackers. It sucks. Oh well, price you have to pay and all that. I've been living off Smoothie King and soup and oatmeal, although I haven't eaten in a couple days before. It's very nice to lose 3 pounds in a day. I'm down to 143 as of yesterday morning, although it's probably different now. I lost 8 pounds last year during Rush, I hope to lose more with the braces impeding eating.
We've got more work to do after the break so I've got to pick up my room some and get a bite to eat.
I can't believe school starts next week.
By this time on Monday the girls will be running to us. I'm very excited! It's a relief to feel like it's not going to be as bad as I kept worrying that it might be. I've relaxed a lot on that part.

I've got a problem though still with my meds- I still think my meds are unbalanced. Lately my skin like it's crawling and itching all over, sounds are way too loud at times and it's bordering on unbearable. I don't think it's that I'm unclean or things that I've eaten. I think caffeine may make it worse. I tried taking more of my mood stabilizer to see if that would help -hasn't seemed to yet, I just get hot from not being able to sweat properly- if it was a hypomanic/manic delusional symptom but it hasn't really. It set in thursday night; the itching...I couldn't sleep it was so bad. I'm fairly convinced I've been hypomanic lately, or at least last week and probably this week. I have no time off until Thursday but my shrink is only in the office M-W. But I can try and see my therapist and ask her opinion. The itching bothers me a lot. It makes me feel like I'm not clean, and then I want to wash things and scour my skin off--but i don't...not yet.
It also worries me because I looked up side effects of Adderall, and came across the symptoms of MS some how--> oh, because of the skin crawling, and the symptoms of MS attacks are similar to the side effects of Topamax. It makes me worry. Not seriously, but just a little. Because I don't remember this skin crawling ever being like this before. I think my dosage of mood stabilizer has just crapped out on me, I guess.
I'm going to go look up the side effects of my drugs now.
