Hi, akarro. I thought you'd like to know that we have "The Coffeehouse" in the General Social Chat forum.

[akarro123]

Hi, guys. I am wanting a friend. I see no one has posted in months, so we'll see how quickly I get a response.

Thanks for reading.

[akarro123]

Is this the "coffeehouse" forum? I searched "coffeehouse," and this came up.

[Victoria'smom]

This isn't the "coffee house". This board is generally slow but I check regularly.

I am doing well today. Happy, honestly.

[bpforever1]

I am doing ok. My shrink told me to break off my online romance saying he might be a scammer. He may have a point. I am not getting anything out of it. So, I may cut it off. I will be fine.

[Blue_Bird]

Doing well, really tired though lately. Couple more weeks till I hear back about something regarding college. Wishing I could fast forward time till next week, I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving.

[WastingAsparagus]

Pretty bad today, just wondering what I should do with all of my free time right now--just thinking I need more activities but then I second-guess myself. I wish I could fast-forward to next year but that scares me as well.

I am doing well despite a slight cold. My french man and I are still doing ok. I'm trying to lose weight. I had a slightly elevated blood pressure and realized my weight could have something to do with it. I'm losing weight because of this and it is working. My blood pressure is going down. I am happy. I am eating less and moving more. I feel good about myself. I want to lose about 20 pounds from my initial weight. I am almost there. It is hard work but I don't want to live to eat anymore. I want to eat to live. I look better, I believe. I feel more energetic too. Life is not bad.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy thanksgiving!!

I have a headache and am glad I am receiving my shot tomorrow. I feel kind of strange for some reason. May be the medication is running out of my body. I feel weird but will be ok.

[bpforever1]

I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Argh!! I have a headache and my head feels strange. Tomorrow, I receive my shot so it should be ok. I have anhedonia, irritability, and anxiety. I feel like crap. I will try to rest until tomorrow.

[Desoxyn]

I feel on top of the world. Signs are telling me which way to go. A little impulsive, defiant, reckless and rebelling with information. Very social.

I just got a job as a teacher part-time. It will pay 34 dollars per hour. I am also considering going to nursing school. I am doing well thanks to my shots. I am happy!! My family is not doing well despite my situation. My brother is jealous of me- he suffers from ocd and passsive- aggressive disorder and is abusive towards me. He can’t believe I am doing better than he is and is really abusive. I still care about him but realize I am responsible for my own destiny and actions. I won’t let him interfere with my aspirations and dreams. My family is so dysfunctional. It is sad!

[Breaking Dawn]

Dear @bpforever1, I so totally understand! And I am very proud of you!! Congratulations re: your new teaching job! That is so wonderful! It is sad about your brother, but you can't let him take away from you what you have earned & you should be enjoying. Hugs to you!

[bpforever1]

I did the first part of training for the job and my parents were shouting in the back. I was embarrassed and could not focus but will continue with the next training session. I don’t know how I survived with my family but am glad that I am leaving from here soon.

[SlumberKitty]

I got diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder depressed type after years of having depression with psychotic features. I guess the two aren't that different, but I'm still trying to adjust to the DX.

[Breaking Dawn]

I'm doing better today. I did my exercise routine, almost all of it. About an hour & a half. It makes a big difference, delivering oxygen & nutrients to the brain & rest of the body, plus working the muscles. And I'm feeling encouraged at the moment. I'm wishing the best for all of you, & thank you!!

[bpforever1]

I’m doing well today so far. I’m awake. I feel fine and will go out. Tonight I have another training session. We shall see what happens. The last training session was not good for me. I was distracted and could not focus. Towards the end, I was exhausted after two hours. Tonight, I hope to feel better since I decreased my dosage of maintena. I like this shot but realized I am suffering from side effects, such as akathisia, muscle stiffness, confusion, sleepiness, weight gain, etc. I hope the side effects decrease with time. But, I really want to remain stable and am hoping that the decrease in dosage is still effective.

[SlumberKitty]

I'm triggered today (by my own stuff, not by anything here on PC). I probably should take some anti-anxiety medication but I don't want to get too sleepy because I've been having a great deal of tiredness since this new medication regimen. I think it is the increase in the AP actually but I don't know that for sure.

[SlumberKitty]

Still kind of triggered today, by my own stuff not anyone else's. I'm having some hallucinations today. Today the meds don't seem to work as well as they did before. I hope this isn't a trend. HUGS Kit

[Breaking Dawn]

Dear Kit, I am so deeply sorry about all you've been going through! I always am wishing the best for @SlumberKitty! And probably all the people who know you at PC are feeling the same way. God bless you!!

[bpforever1]

I finished the training sessions for my job but had to tell them I want to delay my start date due to the corona virus situation. I am not sure if they will allow me to do this but we shall see. I did pretty well in the last two sessions and did all of the tests and passed them. However, if the company does not want me, I will understand. I’m not sure who is attending their classes under the current circumstances but I am not going to risk my health at any cost. The company is in a country seriously affected by the. corona virus. I feel bad about delaying my start date but know it is the best I could do without worrying about the risk of getting infected. Oh well, I will just go with the flow. I am doing well nevertheless. I decreased the dosage of my maintena shot and feel a whole lot better!!

first time posting. not sure how this goes.
i had a pretty neutral day and have been doing generally “better” but i’m currently feeling desperately alone and can’t get ahold of anyone in my support system. trying all my usual ways to keep my mind occupied but the feelings are taking over
anyone have any tips on dealing with this?
