I am doing okay today. Just tired from not having Abilify on board. I feel like I need a stimulant all the time. I am depressed, but at the same time, my moods fluctuate wildly. I hope to find some stability soon.

Still on Latuda. I feel pretty good today, the hallucinations have stopped. I think they were caused by the ptsd work I was doing or stress. I bought some electrolytes and protein shakes so, I have so much ENERGY! Hopefully I can get back to normal, exercising and cleaning like usual. I think I do so much I exhaust myself. I'm already tired again.

I feel tired and depressed. This is the time of night when I would normally play my game. But I feel so bad that I can't do it. The thought of playing is making me sad. Anything I think of doing gives me a bad feeling. I like to color and doodle. Those things feel neutral. Maybe I can try that.

Hugs to everyone here! Hope all of you are well.

I feel sad and stressed out. I want to get some chores done and then I'll try to relax. I have a little more energy today.

I'm very low energy today. I've been stressed. I'm just trying to relax now.

My energy is low today. Every little thing I do wears me out. I have to take frequent breaks. But I really want to get stuff done.

I’m listening to moby sing we are all made of stars and I left my blogs for a while. I have friends on tumblr, but I don’t know it’s too addictive for me. Facebook is the same thing. I think live groups are good. I love this. I have a hard time staying anywhere, but I feel accepted here like I belong here.

I wish I felt better. My energy is low, I feel isolated and I am bored. Maybe if I got active around the house, I might feel better.

I've had 2 good days. My energy came back. I made sure to take care of myself and get plenty of rest. Yesterday was fun. Today, I'm working on chores. I'll relax later on.

I'm doing well, I'm still working and taking care of myself. I'm dating again in two days to a man who is healthy and decent. Who says life gets worse with age? I feel absolutely fabulous!! I wish others well too!! I have had some dips with my illness though but endured them. I have been compliant with my medication for three years now. I feel great!!

I got too much sleep last night so I feel a little tired. I don't have many chores for the day. I'm mainly relaxing. I want to order food, but it's icy out there. I hate to have someone drive through all that just to give me food. But then again, maybe they need the work. It's a tough decision. I'll just wait until it warms up.

Isn't it interesting when you get too much sleep you are tired? That's how I am too. I need about 9 hours of sleep and then I'm good. If I get too much sleep I'm just tired the next day.

I'm feeling pretty good today. It's the first day of Lent and I committed to what I'm going to do. I'm in a pretty good mood. I've been using Noom (a weight loss app) for 4 days and I lost a little weight already so that feels fantastic. I can't tell. Only the scale tells me. But my mind is happy with the results. No hallucinations in a while. The Latuda mixed with the Rexulti is really helpful. I'm so pleased. I know Pdoc will be pleased too. I'm looking forward to lunch even though it will be sparse. And then it's halfway through the week!

I am doing much better recently. I'm kind of looking forward to what's ahead because of some nice surprises, goals that I finally accomplished, which I had been putting off, & they turned out really good.

I've been journaling about my depression tonight. I think it is helping. I'm ready to relax and have a nice evening. I may go meditate for a while. But then again, I think I want iced coffee and my game for a while.

I kicked up some old trauma with music, so I used play doh, journaling and neutral music to cope. I took my meds and I am going to bed.

I'm a little stressed. Maybe a little sad too. I will try to relax for a while and then go to bed. It's getting late.

I'm doing well. Exercising regularly has been a huge plus for me. It ensures my day goes smoother. I still have anxiety as a baseline, but it's not really bad right now. I'm going to check in and say I'm confident I'm ok.

I'm doing alright, I guess. I feel a little sad, but I'm coping by playing games. I want to stay busy today. So I think I will do some extra housework. I like cooking too. Perhaps I will make something fun.

Sometimes I wish I were just schizophrenic because the "affective" part is destroying me right now.

Now that I say that, I know it's probably not a good thing to wish for. But I am hoping for more positive times ahead.
