If possible, I'd try to get part time and then slowly easing into it... It takes a lot for the body and mind to adjust to work like exercising or starting a new med.. Especially while on antipsychotics.

For me, part time is good when you're also trying to make money in other ways cuz it makes me appreciate the time that I have. On days when I'm not working, I usually wake up at around the time that I'd finish work on days that I am.

How is the Klonopin taper?

The Klonopin taper is not happening. My anxiety gets too bad. That's why I stayed at the dose I'm at right now. I guess it's fine. I feel like honestly it's fine as long as I have the modafinil because it has seemed to up my motivation the last two days (I have only taken it for two days though!)

And yeah, I'm probably not going to work full time. I was thinking about it on my run on the treadmill earlier and I had the idealistic thoughts going that I could make it work, which I likely could, but I thought that is a bit unrealistic.

Also, really, the only thing that matters to me right now is my thesis and getting that done.
