Speaking of clothing, I need new clothes badly. I'm trying to hold off until I lose 50-60 lbs and maintain it though. I got to remember to order petite jeans because I'm not very tall, I always end up with jeans that are longer than me and get all tore up on the bottom from walking.

(BTW, that cat in your avatar is PRECIOUS!!)

This is only the 2nd time in a year that I've gone to a mall. Also agoraphobic. So ,it was a big psych myself up day. I buy my shoes online but prefer to see clothes on . Don't like that the have surveillance though. Makes me paranoid. So I have to not think about it.

Same here, I'm tiny lol and my legs are short so I have to make sure to make sure it says petite before I buy jeans otherwise I tear them up like you described.

I already know what my 4th tattoo will be. They're so addicting!

Blue_Bird · Feb 01, 2015, 07:22 AM

I haven't complained about having to take meds for the past few days, lol big improvement for me. I usually bring it up multiple times a day

Blue_Bird · Feb 01, 2015, 07:17 PM

Dyeing my hair bright red next week, can't wait!

Shmooey · Feb 01, 2015, 07:52 PM

Tattoos are definitely addicting! I have six and I want another one. Mine are all small except for the ankle bracelet I have that I don't like anymore. It used to be a plain infinity design going all the way around my ankle, but then I went and added barbed wire to it and I'm not the barbed wire type anymore.

I also have a red Canadian maple leaf over my navel to commemorate the day I became a dual U.S./Canadian citizen. There my angel cat's paw print over my heart, my wedding ring is tattooed, I have a small red heart outlined in black on my left hand, and my Mondo kitty's paw print is above my left wrist.

You can make clay casts of animal paws, and then they can use that for the template for your tat. We have another cat named Garret but he won't sit still to do the paw cast. First time he gets a dental and needs to be sedated, he's getting his paw done so mommy can get a new tattoo.

That's awesome shmooey! The tattoo I got the other day is in memory of my cat Jack

Feeling very lazy today, probably just gonna sleep on and off the rest of the day. Group tomorrow, then coming home and doing schoolwork.

I should really read the reviews of things I buy online before I purchase them, a lot of people reported the wind pants being kinda long on them even though they're around 5ft to 5ft 6, I'm 5ft 3. I guess I'll see how they fit, I may have to roll them up or something

worthit · Feb 03, 2015, 10:21 AM

I was awake for an hour one night tossing and turning Rocking and the bad thoughts were getting worse and worse, higher anxiety creeping in moment to moment when I suddenly realized I had not had my ambien. That is my life without a sleeping pill. That was most of my life before a year ago. 0 sleep

Blue_Bird · Feb 03, 2015, 01:21 PM

Lets just say I had a major breakdown today in group in the clinic I go to, they had me see my doctor. She added Seroquel to my med regimen

That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that... I hope you feel better soon.

Blue_Bird · Feb 03, 2015, 01:34 PM

Thanks Atypical, it wasn't my best moment.

I'm so excited, we're having buffalo wings for dinner tomorrow Lol

Blue_Bird · Feb 03, 2015, 06:44 PM

Just took Seroquel for the first time. 300mg. I am seriously hoping this works because I need to be stable again. I want to be able to go to group and have a good time, not freak out

Seroquel is a really good medication. I couldn't stay on it because I gained too much weight, but it really did help. I hope it helps you like it did me and I hope you don't get the weight gain side effect.

Thank you

I just got an email saying this week is midterms, I was wondering why the heck they are giving us so much work to do. No wonder I've been so stressed about school. The good news is that I found out I will have a B average in one of my classes by next week

So, I've made it half way at least with one class

You're quite welcome!

I think it's awesome that you're able to go to school in spite of your illness. I want to go to college eventually, I just need to be stable for awhile first. I haven't really had any long term stability yet. Your posts give me a lot of hope!
