I'm doing okay. I'm kind of depressed today. Probably didn't help that I took a Xanax this morning. It calmed down the rumination, but it is a depressant. I feel like I'm drowning in depression. But other than that I'm okay. Haven't had any hallucinations in a while. A couple of days I think.

I feel a little stressed this morning. I have to clean the litter box again today, and I don't have much energy. I have no motivation. I don't plan to do any other chores today. I'm not in the mood to cook. I plan to order myself some food today. I want to relax as much as I can.

I am hearing voices now. I think it is from the weather change. I am delusional at times too. However, I am still taking my medication. I am ok but the voices are making me a bit insane. I am working still and actually focusing on work helps me to forget about eh voices in my head. Weird! I don't hear voices when I am concentrating on tasks. So, I am working- teaching. I am also applying for an internship as a medical translator. I am translating some excerpts for this position. I hope to volunteer as an intern for a year. I can build my resume and apply for other translation jobs as well. I am doing ok! I am all alone here but am keeping busy. Happy Holidays!

I used some coping skills to calm down and I feel better. I took a nap. No hallucinations while listening to music or from my air purifier (these things cause me to hear things). I have a safety plan in place and I'm going to bed.

I wanted to order a Thanksgiving dinner from Cracker Barrel today. But it doesn't look like that option is available. I guess I will try to cook myself something today. I'm in a good mood. I hope I can find the energy to cook. Happy holidays to everyone!!

My voices claim they aren't annoying me & that it's the other way around. Maybe I'm hallucinating.

I had a pretty good day. I saw some friends on zoom. Then I saw family on zoom. I'm still feeling a little paranoid, but I don't want to go to the crisis center, because it seems to be going away rather than getting worse. I'm going to bed soon. Happy holidays!

I'm pretty worked up at the moment. I had a stressful morning with ordering groceries. My groceries were delivered to another apartment. But I was able to get another order free of charge. It doesn't make sense to me. But I was so afraid that something else would go wrong. I've been anxious for a couple of hours now, and even though it's over with, I still can't calm down. Maybe I can try a nap and some meditation. Or cuddling with my cats. I could try a funny movie like Home Alone. I've been wanting to watch it again.

I'm excited about my 25 succulents arriving from amazon (yes bought live plants from the internet). Plus I bought a bigger succulent. I have a greenhouse like apartment, so they'll love it. I talked to my mom earlier today. I was sock skating on the floor when I fell, but I'm not hurt. No symptoms today. I tested about fifty percent for bipolar symptoms yesterday. My moods do feel whacky lately, due to grief, but no different than usual. I feel like I am super cycling and I almost posted in the bipolar thread, but I'm schizoaffective.

I went to work today. That was nice. It was good to see everyone again. That was my entire day.

I feel overwhelmed today. I've been working on chores and taking care of the cats. I haven't been able to take care of myself yet. I just have too much going on.

I'm doing okay. I had an appointment with my T on Saturday. We talked about my hallucinations. She's concerned about some of them because they upset me and she doesn't like me to be upset. She is really quite lovely. I got my Christmas shopping done. Just maybe some charity donations now.

I'm feeling lonely, sad and bored. I was having so much fun with my new game. But now there's a bug and I don't know how to proceed any further. Playing the game took my mind off my problems. It made me feel like I was accomplishing something. Maybe I will open a ticket or search the forums. I guess it's really time for me to go to sleep.

Hi. Shall try to keep it plain. I haven't been on here in a few years. I think I may have abandoned some of you. I'm not sure who remembers what anymore.

I'm having an episode. I can't call my hospital's crisis line b/c it's completely useless. I am nonviolent.

So, kind of what I'm seeing:
"Faces" everywhere, people (mom and bro) spying on me in their sleep and at work, respectively. They're loud and noisy. We're American citizens so they're bad spies. I don't pretend to be a good one because I don't spy on anyone.

I wonder if I am autistic episodically? Everything is overwhelming and there's too much detail in everything.

This morning was good, now it's ****. What of what I'm not seeing?

I don't know. I don't know how to get help, ever. No intent of harming anyone, fwiw.

Euch.

<-- this one's illegal in my life. family laws.

I feel better after getting some sleep. And I found out why I can't progress the storyline just yet in my game. I have to level a bit more. I and others think it is a flaw in the game. But this is what Blizzard has done for their new expansion. Oh well, I'm back on track and doing every quest I can. I feel hopeful for a good day!

I feel fragile. Like I am oversensitive to/overwhelmed by stimuli both emotional and physical. My boss always tells me, "This too shall pass" so I was telling that to myself and taking some deep breaths. Then I took a Xanax. My boss told me, "Just remember that what you are feeling is temporary." Temporary or not I just want it to go away! Stupid emotions.

Xanax and Christmas Music seem to be helping me with my feelings of being overwhelmed and oversensitive to stimuli. I texted a couple of friends also and one replied to me and that made me feel good. Trying to remember what my boss says, "This too shall pass." Hopefully tomorrow is a good day.

I feel exhausted at the moment. I just got home from a stressful appointment. I'm trying to relax with a frappuccino. I might play my game, but I really think I need a nap first.

I relaxed most of the day. I bought two Frappuccinos this morning. I'm on a sugar high but I guess that is Okay. I'll crash soon and sleep awhile. I played my game for a long time. I'm bored with it now. I would love to read, but I can't think of anything that I would be interested in. I'm so bored it's not even funny.

I started out the day feeling crises-y but I am feeling a little bit better now.

I was having some hallucinations after missing a dose and visiting crisis. I'm not sure, but I think I know what caused it after talking to my primary care physician. I feel okay now, but tired like I have the last two weeks. It feels like I stayed up all night whether I sleep all night and all day for three days or not. I stay up for maybe 4 or 5 hours a day tops, enough to write this, talk to my mom, talk to my boyfriend, talk to friends, and paint. sometimes I meditate. This is unusual for me, I'm sick right now, I usually stay up longer than this.

I'm trying to relax today. I'm a little stressed out about chores. But I'm trying to show myself some compassion. I asked my mom for help. She says she can come one day to help out. I am very glad. I mainly need help with getting my floors clean. I will try to declutter over the next couple of days. This evening, I want to play my game, shower, meditate and read.

I went to the store and the pharmacy. I took a walk with my boyfriend, which made me feel more safe. I managed to stay awake all day.

I feel very down and stressed today. My cat's been sick. I have to take her back to the vet today. And I've been sick. I have 2 doctor appointments tomorrow. I am struggling.
