Thank you! Today's been much better for me. I got a lot of chores done. And I was able to take care of my cat. My therapist has been responsive and my step-mom chatted with me for a bit. I thought that was nice. Also, I was able to talk to my sister J. She took a break from work and texted me for about 10 minutes. I am very thankful for that. She was very kind.

And I appreciate everyone here for all the support I receive. I have people. It's just that sometimes I get so lonely. I have to start reframing those thoughts.

I'm glad today is much better. Reframing thoughts is hard but it is rewarding usually!

Been awhile. Busy. Doing super good on this double secret medicine. 9 out of 10 pretty much every day, all day. Miracle, basically. Just trying to keep it going.

Hugs and love to all!!!

I have a doctor's appointment today. My cat is doing well, so I'm glad. I'm just trying to make it through the day.

I just feel like quitting therapy as of late. It's getting too expensive.

Deilla · Oct 23, 2020, 02:58 AM

I have another medical appointment today. I'm a little nervous about it. Maybe if I got a few more hours of sleep I would feel better. But the appointment is in the morning and I don't want to oversleep.

SlumberKitty · Oct 23, 2020, 11:35 AM

I hope your medical appointment goes well @Deilla

HI all. I usually post on the bipolar board, but my pdoc waivers between bipolar 1 and sza. I haven't had any hallucinations in months. I guess the Seroquel is working.

Deilla · Oct 25, 2020, 06:53 PM

I've had a nice weekend. I felt good both days. And I feel hopeful about this coming week.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 25, 2020, 11:25 PM

I am here & doing a lot of thinking.

Deilla · Oct 26, 2020, 02:01 AM

I've had a good start to the day. Just enjoying some hot coffee and playing my game. Also, doing some chores around the house.

SlumberKitty · Oct 26, 2020, 04:26 PM

I'm doing okay. I'm at work. Just chilling mostly. Worried about my cat, Esther, who hasn't been eating much in the past couple of days. Taking her to the vet on Wednesday.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 26, 2020, 04:34 PM

I think I'm doing better today.

WastingAsparagus · Oct 26, 2020, 08:53 PM

Ugh, I think I'm still schizoaffective. Don't know honestly. We'll see. I'm seeing a new pdoc tomorrow.

Deilla · Oct 27, 2020, 03:24 AM

I'm okay today. I had a rough patch yesterday. But things are better now. I'm focusing on the positives and relaxing.

Deilla · Oct 30, 2020, 04:38 AM

I have a doctor's appointment today. At the moment I feel calm about it. I think I'm getting better about leaving the house. Today is easier cause I'm getting ready early and I am comfortable with this drive.

Hi all,

I did not get the job I interviewed for last week. But, I am ok. It was stressful to do interviews in another language. I am glad it is over. I was asked to be in a media campaign to attract more students. Hopefully, it will work, and I will get more students. I feel blessed I have a job. I don't make much money but earn enough to go out and eat once in awhile. I was doing this until I got sick of doing it. Now, I stay at home and eat. I am happy. I like my job although the terms are not great. I am a free lancer so am paid per lesson. I can't complain because I am making ends meet. I thought the other job I interviewed for would be better, but it is not. It does not pay that much and the only thing good about it is that there are some minor benefits for employees of the company. I don't think I can be a company employee at my age so I was wasting my time and effort. However, I learned from it and am glad it is over. I like teaching and will remain a teacher. I have no complaints. I sleep a lot because I have the time to sleep. Also, I can't stress myself out too much because of my illness. So, I am happy with what I have. I am not asking my family for money so am making ends meet myself. I feel good about this. I don't have much but it is nice to be independent. I will try to teach private students wen possible. Right now, it is too dangerous to teach in person. I will wait for awhile. I feel good which is nice. I don't have to deal with my family in person anymore. I just do what I want. I am trying to stay away from trouble too by not dating people from online dating sites. I have to find a hobby and think learning a new languages could be it. I am happy and am relieved that my life is going well.

My appointment went well yesterday. I felt a little nervous getting into my car. But once I started driving, I was fine. I was calm and patient while I waited on the doctor. I had a steroid injection in my right knee. Already I feel relief. I am so happy. Next week I do my left knee. I think I'm more in pain because I have gained some weight. Today I bought a juicer. My plan is to do low carb, have fresh fruits and vegetables and eat lean meats. I will get my produce later this morning and hopefully tomorrow I will be juicing. I'm so excited.

SlumberKitty · Nov 04, 2020, 02:05 PM

Dealing with some negative habits that are coming back to haunt me. Trying to get past them though and just be steady and stable.

Deilla · 02:29 AM

I haven't been doing that well the past couple of days. I've just been really sad. Yesterday I went to bed around 2 pm and slept off and on until 11 pm. And now I just want to sleep some more. I have chores I have to do, but I don't really have the energy for it. And I injured my foot, so moving around is difficult. I don't want to do anything. I asked someone in my family for help. I was told no. They would not help me. And I don't have anyone else I can ask. I'm really disappointed about that. It hurt to be told no.

Breaking Dawn · Nov 09, 2020, 05:19 PM

Maybe I am not schizoaffective, & just have some traits resembling it, mainly the voices. Could be I have a different disorder, like one of the dissociative disorders. I realize I need to find a well-trained therapist to help me. I need to talk with a knowledgable person who understands what it's like & gives the brain credit for abilities that many therapists don't believe
are possible.
