Things have become extremely difficult for me since my psychotic break in january. Everything is harder. Life is harder. I'm not the same person I was before it. (Oh, and I'll be 33 in August... not that that little tidbit of information is really relevant. lol)

I've been at the same job for ten years, come August. It's harder for me at work now because I tend to dissociate and have paranoia/anxiety, that's really overwhelming. I almost left work early the other day because it was so bad, and I was so scared. But I HAVE to keep it together. We need my income, and we get our insurance through my job. Just gotta keep on pushing.
