We stayed home last night. We usually get drunk every Friday AND Saturday, it's nice to not be hungover today. I have to do laundry and a quick clean up of our apartment. Cleaning will only take about a half hour. I've been keeping things pretty clean since our move and it feels nice to have a clean and organized home. I feel like the dirty messy apartment before we moved added to my depression and hopelessness. I was so overwhelmed I didn't know where to start. I'm embarrassed of the shape we left the old place in though.

Hugs to everyone!!

Did laundry and planned meals for the week. Glad my husband helped with that. He's doing some cleaning in the basement as well.

Otherwise it's been calm. Tomorrow we do grocery shopping and I need to start studying for my final exam. I also see current T tomorrow. It's going to be kind of tough, but I need to go another direction as far as therapy is concerned.

Mood has been okay.

Hugs to those that want them.

Feeling pretty good today, my mood has finally leveled off, and I think the medication increase of the Seroquel really helped me.

But, sometimes I find this site can be a bit triggering, so I really need to be mindful and forgiving, and realize that people here are suffering just as I am, so they may say things out of emotional anger like I do sometimes.

It's nice to have you around. Please be sure to take care of yourself.

Had a busy day. Went to the mall with my friend and ended up being there for 1.5 hrs. I'm not used to being on my feet that long. I got some clothes that actually fit from maurices and some wax melts from yankee candle. Most of my clothes right now are too big and really baggy. Probably look like a hobo most of the time. If I ever get SSDI i'm gonna get a whole new wardrobe. I'm tired of having to hike my pants every time time i walk and most of my shirts look like tents. I came home and crashed for a while, the made an early dinner. I made mini meatloafs, mushrooms, and corn. I did the mushrooms and corn in the oven too and they actually came out well.

I hope tonight will be an early night. I woke up at 4:30 this AM for some reason. There's a jojo staring at me even though I just let her out. Man dogs can be annoying sometimes. She probably wants my plate from dinner or she went and ate the rest of her food and has to go out again.

My day went rather well. I woke up early and took the dog out. Then laid back down for a few hours. Once my alarm went off I was ready to start my day. I fixed breakfast I ate light just a bowl of cereal and a yogurt. My daughter had girls scouts today. A few of them were setting up cookie booths We did not get to go to the church I have been wanting to try. My daughter is getting her hair braided. There is no school tomorrow and I’m glad. I get to sleep in until my dog wakes me to go out. Yesterday I went to see Black Panther it was great. I really enjoyed it, so did my daughter and mom.

Well I’m about to watch some Netflix. I cooked turkey burgers and my daughter loved them. She ate two. I seasoned the meat really well and sautéed the onions. I agree with WC too. I really like this thread

I started a lot of things I want to do, but I lacked motivation and was a little too tired today to complete them. I want to do so much, but my meds sometimes win out. I’m tired of the low-level fatigue I deal with, but it’s better than the alternative.

I’ve had trouble sleeping, so an extra quetiapine is a necessity (causing the above).

On the plus side, my friend that moved away called me. That was nice. I got to talk about my job. We used to work together, so she understands what I’m talking about.

My mother died on Saturday morning
I will never have to put up with her dramas, jealousies, selfishness, vanity
Her pitting one kid against another
Her pretending she can't hear me on the phone - ever again
She cannot hurt me anymore
I feel so free. So alive.
It feels so good

Took forever for mine to go through too. Hired an agency to help and take care of all the crazy paperwork.

Congrats.

Stressed over having to change Pdoc's AGAIN! The thought of seeking help at the county hospital has me at whits end. Oh yeah, still haven't been able to get assistance with my Latuda prescription.

Didn't even wait for a denial. I hired help right at the beginning.

It was "supposed" to go before a judge. I waited and prepared myself for the fight. And then the huge letdown. The judge reviewed my case three days before the hearing and approved my claim. I felt hollow inside and deflated.

yesterday a website I used for over 15 years finally closed down, and I was their for the final farewell.

I'm a little sad to see it go... I mean it was a good site, and the admins tried their best- but towards the end it just lost it's popularity, and anyway I'm in contact with those from the site I talked to on a regular bases, so it's not all bad news.

this week is my final week in this shelter thing, I am finally moving to my new home next tuesday. I need to get stuff done though, I have 7 days left and i've barely packed anything (maybe one box). I'm not going to do any today though. today I am just going to chill

can't wait to leave though

this place sucks

I am happy to see an update. I have been wondering about the moving process and how you are doing with all the related stress. Glad you are okay!

I am really sorry you have been having a hard time. You are always so supportive of others when I see you around here. It's good to have you around, I hope things improve soon.

I am doing okay, getting sleepy for once, so things are improving where I am not spinning out of control late at night, just have to watch the clock and take my meds at a reasonable hour.

[Wander]

The last few days I have started to stabilise after a month of mixed, which ranged from mild to almost needing IP. Haldol seems to be the med that rescued me. I was hallucinating at times and it freaked me out sometimes. Other times I thought the hallucinations revealed another dimension and I was fascinated.

I was deliberately avoiding Haldol for reasons I don't really understand. Then last Wednesday my T sternly advised me to take it in moderate doses for at least a few days and get back to him. He had that deeply concerned look in his eyes that I have seen in the past when I am very ill. He gave me the impression that if I didn't improve in the next week he would be making sure I went IP. Anyway, it is good to feel stable and be grounded in reality again.

I'm delusional and psychotic. I was believing I could make it as a psychic and could do fortune telling. But, I am hearing voices really loudly and know I'm not well. I think the stress from looking for jobs has finally affected me. I believe I need to rest and calm down. At least, my mother is coming next month to visit. I look forward to her visit. My job situation is still the same and will change slightly next month. I replaced one part-time job for another. I should be ok. My head is not well though because of the voices. The voices are a running commentary about my actions. I need to take it easy and am glad I did not find any full-time job yet. I can't handle it now. It is unfortunate but it is the truth.

[Moreta]

Today is an ok day. I took a shower and getting ready to go to the podiatrist in a bit. I'm waiting to hear back from an email I sent to my GP about the hospital finding a nodule on my lung when I went to the ER last month. I didn't want to worry people so I've just been sitting on the fact that they found it for a month now. Guess I'll have to do another xray or something cause the report said it might be my shirt. I'm trying to remember what shirt I wore that night and if it had any buttons. I don't think it did. Oh well. I'm a little worried so trying not to think about it. I should probably eat something or take some food with me to the drs. I'm not that hungry though. I lost 5.2 lbs since Friday somehow. I weighed friday cause that's when I started using the smart coffee. I've actually been hungrier using it (it's supposed to curb your appetite). Maybe it's because I'm taking half a dose of provigil. Gonna try halving the 200 mg pill tomorrow and see how that goes (prescribed 400 mg). I've been getting good sleep and waking up refreshed, which is a ****ing weird feeling. I keep laying down with intentions to watch some tv though and passing out 10 mins later. lol.

[xRavenx]

Feeling kind of frustrated. I need to get in to see one of my doctors, and the office called to say the doctor is at a conference that day (and mind you, my date was already a month and a half from now). The person who works at the office is going to call me back to see if she can squeeze me in earlier, so that I don't have to wait, but she said she's going to have to call me back if not today, then within the next 2 days. The weather is pretty bad today. I feel lazy. I hope things will change for the better, because lately, I feel nothing is really going my way.

[hopeless2015]

Really dreary day, it's supposed to rain all week...yuck. I'm getting so caught up at work that I'm actually kind of bored. Feeling kind if grumpy today to.

Hugs to everyone!!
