I'm so sorry Miguel's Mom. We just went through that and it is so hard.

My day has been good! The anti-procrastination app works well. I think I mentioned it, but here it is again: It pups up several times in an hour for nine hours (a workday). I have to answer if I procrastinated or not. For two days I had most "no procrastination". For 18 hours I only had six yes answers: 3 for poor organization, 1 for indecisiveness, 1 for Lack of motivation and 1 for overwhelmed.
I am not going to feed you with my progress or lack of such, but this day I felt for telling about it. I think this app was right for me and motivates me to do my best. I feel proud of myself for a change. Send my best wishes for the rest of the day for everybody here! |

I greatly appreciate the support last night and today. You folks are incredible! I did end up contacting a crisis line and although I’m not all the way back, I am gaining ground. I’m kicked back with a soft blanket, alfredo pizza and Die Hard playing. I will get up after that and be productive.
You really helped save my bacon last night and I thank you |

Angry today. Didn't sleep much & I got a sprouting staph infection. Yuck. At least the steroid cream is helping the rash on my chest. I'm going to start using it on other rash patches. Having all sorts of weird thoughts towards the SO I haven't seen in months.

I slept about 12 hours in the hotel room. I was the only one who slept. My brother forgot his trazedone and my mom didn't sleep for some reason or another. But I had my 12 pound twin size blanket and the AC was blasted. I woke up a couple of times but I got back to sleep. There must be some sort of enviormental factor in my house which is causing me not to sleep well. On my last trip I slept really good too.
Anyways when I woke up at 5 I instantly felt a ton better then yesterday and I knew I could get my shopping done. My mom and I went to a couple international grocery stores I used to go to all the time and I found fun flavors of cheetos and then some chocolates I like and then some popcorn Kit Kats. I got enough bars to last me through the winter. I also got some international flavors of Lipton tea. After that we picked up my brother and packed up and left the hotel and went to the good grocery store which I miss a ton. I got some vegan cesar salad dressing and some plant based eggs you can fry too not the kind that is just made for scrambling. I also got plant based soy butter which is basically fake peanut butter. I wore my North Face pride shirt both yesterday and today and no one paid any attention except one kid in the fruit department who may have been part of the community. I don't know if I'm getting more confident or what but I felt pretty comfortable shopping today. A cashier at one of the stores said to me "is your mom with you?" When I went ahead while my mom checked on something. While I'm super happy with how I'm looking in general, I'm not excatly happy to be looking like a 16 year old boy. I still haven't heard back about my allergy test. I don't know if thats good or bad. I know they were going to do a ranking of each allergy to see how severe each one is. So idk. Maybe I'm allergic to a lot of things? I feel super weird right now. I don't know why... I got really overheated both yesterday and today and I'm still hot. I just feel like I'm going to go insane right now. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; Sep 02, 2022 at 05:22 PM.. |

So my dog has hip dysplasia and started pain meds. Still have to take her to the vet hospital. She's part of a clinic so all it cost us was for her pain meds and her monthly fee. The next vet is going to cost a lot more but they may have financial help. Through all this my nurse called and I can get my injection early. So will be doing that Tuesday this is hard as hell.

Went to my uncle’s birthday party. He’s 92. He turned 90 during the pandemic so they had a big party this year. My cousin from Texas was up so that decided it. Was nice to see everyone. Didn’t recognize some of my older cousins! It’s been so long. They had home movies on the TV, starting from 1962! There was a shot of me with gloves on punching the boxing bag I think I was 4 in that one. There was a great bit taken at the cabin before Dad added on to it. I’d forgotten it used to be white. Unfortunately the trip was a bit hard on mum. It’s only an hour away but she’s worn out.

I feel slightly itchy . I don't know if it's the cat hair or the cat itself. I bought Benadryl just in case. The cat has been staying on top of the cabinets in the kitchen. She does come down and sit with me which is nice. She's here till Monday. She's a sweet cat but doesn't like to be held. She loves to be petted, though. N3 had to go to the airport to pick up his friend. He's allergic to cats hence why I have her with me for a few days.
Tomorrow we are going to my mom's for dinner. I don't think N3 will be there since he's planning to go to Cedar Point- could be on Sunday though so who knows. I took a late nap but not excessively long. I hope I can sleep, even so. I need to go to the grocery store- again. Seems I'm always going there. I have limited storage for food so I don't get much at a time. I hope everyone has a good evening and sleep tonight. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Loxapine 50mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

I felt super weird like I said, then I fell asleep and I woke up half an hour ago with a dry cough and a sore throat and a runny nose and I'm sneezing a bit. Hopefully its just night allergies. I thought I could feel the start of sore throat coming on yesterday or so but I didn't pay attention. That would make sense though the sudden odd feeling of intense anxiety I had

Well, I had my first internet troll in a long while! I was commenting on a Neil deGrasse Tyson post regarding science and history when some... individual decided to devote considerable time to telling me I am what is wrong with America because I am apparently and I quote: "a woke self-hating reverse racist," several other political statements of that ilk and to cap it off "mentally deficient." As befitting someone of my "deficiency," I just replied "Huh?" and went on with my day. Let him explain the "joke" again to someone who's not listening or get enraged enough to get banned. What do I care?
Internet culture aside, the rest of the day was quite nice! Sold a fair share of phones at work with the holiday weekend starting up, got a few future leads, had to fend off the competition, that sort of thing. I also, seemingly, have the worst timing. Five times in three days I have stepped away for my regular break, my lunch break or just to use the bathroom and customers show up looking for me and my products only for the competition to come in and make their pitch. I will admit, they're quite good at it! Something of concern: my knee is starting to pop in the area of an old hiking injury. Seeing as I'm on my feet for a good eight hours, I dont want this to get worse. As much as I don't want to spend the money, I think a knee brace is going to be needed. I really hope not. __________________ "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

I felt very tired this morning, but I have a rule that if I do not wake up during breakfast, I can go to bed again for an hour. I did so and feel better. When I left the breakfast table for more rest I was full of negative self statements: "I will never make it". "My world will crash". I was stupid who signed up for the language lessons" ... and more. Then I remembered the CBT and "be in the here and now" lessons. It soon made my way back to more realistic thoughts. By the way: The language lessons are held one day before my hiking-day, so I do not have to worry about being too tired after the hiking. Good news!
A good day to everybody here! |

I consider Neil much on the same vein as Carl Sagan, which considering they both did version of Cosmos, makes sense. Related to Mr. Rogers, but not really related to Mr. Politics, I thought of the movie starring Tom Hanks and the scene where he's on the train and everyone sings his song to him. Really sweet, I like it. There's probably someone out there who's already tried going after our dear friend Fred. Trolls are gonna troll, I guess. __________________ "I must not fear.

I saw the Mister Rogers documentary and there were people with their kids protesting outside of where his funereal was at, I believe they were protesting because he had hired a gay man to work on his show and they didn't like that.
So yeah people have come after him. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |
