Of course, please don't over spend like me. I was impulsive for a long time and lost everything. Even now I have a hard time but I have to remember I can't afford it. I want new furniture and appliances. My own kids tell me it's too expensive! They're my conscious, lol!

I'm getting another psych evaluation, the second one I've had since 2009. It will be in the 23rd.

Today my IOP therapist talked to us about changing our thoughts. I have a negative thought that I'm a disappointment to everyone. So now I'm going to look at the thought more rationally.

Yesterday I was sad and wanted to self harm. But I did DBT coaching with my primary T and then made a blanket, instead.

I am still feeling a little down in the dumps. I keep forgetting to take my morning meds (really it's only lamictal). No delusions for a couple of weeks now. So that's good.

An organization that I'm working with has me diagnosed schizophrenia. Now I'm just confused.

No delusions, I don't think...for awhile now. But I convinced that a bad spirit or demonic presence is haunting me. I keep finding signs that further my conviction. I don't think this is paranoia related to psychosis though...I'm pretty sure this is actually happening.

My brother is in town...I haven't seen him in a year. He brought his girlfriend and two kids and this is the first time I've met them. I like them but I don't get alone time with my brother. We used to be really close. It makes me sad.

My kids started school and I'm feeling extra lonely and anxious today. I don't know what to do. The day seems really long but I don't want to go out.

I've been lonely lately so I decided to start going to group again starting this week. There's also a new group on different days that started at the clinic, I may try that out too

Groups are great! Hope it helps!

ME- I am becoming so paranoid now about there being a negative spirit in my house that it is starting to affect my every day life. I am convinced that something is haunting me but others think I'm hallucinating and having SZA paranoia. I have been taking a lot of precautions and putting a lot of time and energy into trying to rid the spirit.

I'm leaving this afternoon to spend the week with my mom and sister. Feeling really paranoid about the whole thing. Took a Klonopin but still really anxious.

I don't know why I'm scared to spend time with them, prolly because I don't want to accidentally bump into my ex-husband.

Saying prayers I don't see him, and have nothing but a good time with my mom, sister, and niece. Also seeing 90 Minutes in Heaven, which I am looking forward to....mmmm....movie popcorn with layered butter.

I stormed out of my IOP today because the place pisses me off. I'm not going back. It's the most useless, unhelpful IOP I've ever tried to utilize. What made me more angry is the IOP therapist tried to make it sound like it was unhelpful because of me. Um, no...it's because the place sucks. Sorry Charlie.

Blue_Bird- please don't laugh at me, but I'm having a horrible time trying to figure out if you're a man or a woman. Not that it really matters of course. Just curious. Sorry....

Okay, thanks. I was pretty sure you were a female but there was nothing in any of your posts, on your blog, or on your profile to indicate your sex. Yes I read your blog lol.

Do you know how to knit or crochet? I like to crochet while watching TV. Do you enjoy art? Writing? Reading? I am trying to get myself to read The Lightning Thief and see what all the hype is about. Maybe we could start it together.

I think I assumed you were female because I saw the pink, too, but saw no other indication and don't like to think of someone being a certain sex based on color choices lol. Cuz like, there are guys that like pink (I think)!

I'm currently reading a book called Hex Hall, it's a trilogy about this girl who goes to a reform school for witches, shapeshifters, and vampires. It's an interesting read so far.

I used to enjoy art but find I don't have much patience for it. I've never knit anything before, I may try learning one day though it seems like a good hobby

That book sounds really interesting! Do you know when it was first published? I want to see if I can find it at the library.

March 2010 according to this page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_Hall

I'm about 50 percent of the way through it. It's a nice light read after taking forever getting through Stephen King's "It"

Blue_Bird,
If you're looking for a different kind of handwork, maybe tatting or Swedish weaving.

Has anyone heard from Spincera?
Thanks for this!
