Today was an excellent day - I had a crazy freakout - I KNOW I took my phone out at mass this morning to put it on silent to not disturb anyone - I cried during mass this morning too. I left early as usual for my Legion of Mary duties, and as I am talking in the car with the lady I go with, she mentions this lady who used to talk to Jesus in an empty chair in her room. She helped a lot of people, and her paperwork is being sent to Rome to become a saint. I thought to take out my phone and research her but it wasn't there! I left it in church! I made this poor lady turn around and go back to the church where we were supposed to be giving communion to someone who needs it! I got back to the church and of course the phone wasn't there, so the lady called my parents to come so I could get another one. Do you know how helpless I felt? Do you realize how dependent we are on our phones?

I turned to get in my car because my parents were coming and what did I see sitting on my passenger's seat? MY PHONE!!!! Guys, I swear to you, I took my phone out to turn in on silent in the church. Did I hallucinate that? Am I dreaming? Did the lady who used to talk to Jesus in the empty chair help me? I don't know!

Then I went to my parent's, and we had an amazing day outside barbecuing and talking all day. I helped my dad out a lot today and laughed with my mom. They sent me home with a ton of food and a whole carton of chocolate chip ice cream.

Please you guys, do me a favor, when I keep telling you how I want to throw my life away, please kick my butt for me. I really feel stupid for how I acted all week.

Well only 2 of the past 3 nights have been all-nighters... thank God I didn't comply with med management rules so I at least got three hours one of those nights... I just got coupons for Zzzquil and Unisom so maybe I can give those a try tonight? I speak to my pdoc tomorrow but it'd be nice to sleep tonight

My Pdoc finally got back to me!!!!! She’s calling in .5 risperdal for audio hallucinations and sleep and said increased Vraylar “is not magic” and takes over a week to kick in. I never rapid cycle so I didn’t recognize my oversharing, the crying then hyper sexuality, etc.
