I took olanzepine before it happened.


I just want to feel better. I want to feel ok. I'm overwhelmed by everything. Sometimes I seem ok but I'm really just distracting myself. I want some sort of meaning and I have hope for great things but I don't know how to get there.


All I have is technology - It's cold outside, I have no friends.


I'm sick of being in such an unhappy state. I can't let go.


I can’t explain that my environment limits me - It’s not aesthetic and very uncomfortable - It may be because of autism symptoms.


I get very little done every day. It’s like I’m dreaming of a different life and at the same time, I have trouble starting new things - When I plan to do something, I can’t stop wanting to just relax and rest my mind instead of watching a movie, playing games, learning or doing anything that I want which requires mental effort.


It’s like the antipsychotics are sedating my mind too much. I wish I didn’t have to take medications - But maybe it has nothing to do with medications. I was this same way at age 12. Daydreaming is what relaxes my mind.


I’m much more aware now and regret not wanting to improve myself in the past - All it was was my ex step dad telling me to do chores all day every day in isolation. I’ve developed a conviction that I just don’t want to put in any effort because it didn’t get me anywhere - Although I know that it gets easier getting a little bit closer to a destination which a little different than what I imagined.


*I told my mom to read this and we had a talk - I'll be going on a vacation on the 20th which is what we need*
Does it help to plan your activities? Like "read for an hour at 1pm", "look into paragliding at 2m", "baking school at 3pm" etc. Give yourself rewards between activities. You can start with a list of activities you want to do.
