Had an appointment with my psychiatrist today. We talked about my volunteer thing and how its going well, focusing on tasks at hand and serving the food instead of getting lost in my anxiety and panicking. So I'm doing better with that. We also talked about college, I'm starting back in January. We talked about my history of rushing into things and taking on too much at once. I used to take 5 classes per semester. I had one really successful semester doing that then the following semester pretty much broke down and was a mess, unstable, and had to withdraw. It was too much and very overwhelming. I don't do well with large amounts of stress. So I'm taking things slow this time and only taking 2 classes. I'm gonna continue volunteering till mid November, then stop for the holidays, then just focus primarily on school until I feel I can manage it then look for a part-time job So I'm taking things one step at a time.

She also prescribed Metfomin to help with losing some weight I've gained on the antipsychotics I'm on. I was on it a long time ago and lost weight while on it, but I got off it because I was having side effects, but I was on 1,000mg at the time which she said was a lot so we're doing 500mg this time and hopefully that gives me the benefits of it without the side effects from the high dose. I'm exercising regularly and eating healthy too of course.

Volunteering again tomorrow, hoping it goes well again, just going to go and do my best.

Hope everyone is having a decent week
