Good luck! I hope you get it. Yea, I've been on Zyprexa before but that was years ago. What about weight gain? Is it better on the generic?

I haven't been on it long enough to tell if it will cause me to gain weight. I hope not. I lost 30lbs with Noom. I don't want to gain that back. But I am just watching what I am eating and trying to eat healthy.

I am going to apply to a writing program. I like writing so it should be fun. I have to write a thesis though. Oh well, my writing is mediocre at best. I hope to improve with much practice. We shall see.

I am doing well. I'm compliant and feel great. Life is doable and charming for now.

I got another job offer but turned it down. I really need to focus on applying. I have about 5 or 6 essays to write. Lol, I have not even started. Argh!

I am feeling kind of super in these moments. It's not even a suspicious thing! I feel so much like I have a bundle of happiness coming if I play my cards right.

I'm still sick but at least I had my Covid test yesterday. It was stressful to do. I'm glad I did it. I was very anxious. I'll know in a day or two what the results are. In the meantime, I'm taking Theraflu. I think stress is making it hard for me to recover. I will try to relax this weekend.

I am doing well, no psychosis nor mania so far. I am happy. I am teaching again this week. I edited and rewrote some essays. For some reason, it is difficult to edit and rewrite other people's work, especially in science. Oh well, I want to become a writer and need to practice writing more. But, sometimes, my head blanks out and nothing comes out. I recover after a while but reading gobblygook and editing takes a lot out of me. Such is my life now. I am happy despite this. Life is not bad. I feel good about myself and could not be better.

I celebrated my birthday with my family today. It was nice. And I got the booster shot along with a flu shot. I am all good for a while.

Finally starting to calm down. Says the person who's been up since 3am dancing around, working out, and cursing the sun for getting up so late...

I am tired but doing well. Life is ok. I am finding it difficult to edit science topics. Oh well. I do it but my brain goes snap, crackle, and pop. It is excruciatingly painful for me at times then when it is over, I'm happy. I don't think I will become an editor, this is for sure. I will be happy just writing. I have to teach again tonight. I like it. So, off I go!

I'm not doing well. My head, as I am sitting, feels like it is moving. While I sit, the room seems to be moving? I feel motion sickness. It feels strange. I might have a vestibular cochlear imbalance. I don't know and never had such a problem before. I am not exercising that much so I'm thinking it may be due to a lack of physical activity. I don't know what the cause of it is. I feel weird, that is all. I am stressed out from being busy continually also. This may also be the cause. I will move around more and see what happens. I volunteered to help write material for a mental health website. I don't know if I have the time but will see what happens. I am so busy that all I do is work and sleep. I do feel productive but not the happiest.

All I want to do is sleep. Sleep is peaceful for me. I don't have any responsibilities when I sleep. I think I will sleep all weekend.

I slept until 4pm today. I couldn’t get up. What is it? They added Seroquel a few months ago. Is it that and the Belsomra? I have serious trouble getting up and then getting going. Sometimes, honestly, I want to go off those. But I am seriously an insomniac and Seroquel seems to make me sane according to me. I am too thoughtful, perhaps? Not a serious issue? I wake up really late all the time. It’s okay though because I may do better with this medicine.

Seroquel was extremely sedating for me. Any chance you could take it all at night and/or switch to the XR version that tends to be more side effect friendly? Also keep in mind if you just started it, it takes a while to become accustomed to the med and over time the side effects tend to lessen.

I am doing fairly well this afternoon. I practiced some DBT skills today. My voices have been manageable. All is well.

I'm doing ok although while I am sitting I feel like I'm on a merry-go-round. The room is spinning slowly. It is ok. I have so much happened to me that a little room spinning is not going to break my spirit. Lol, I feel fine nevertheless. I walked a lot today and feel a whole lot better. Of course, I wish I can get off this ride of mine. But, shoot, what else can happen? I feel great since I'm doing well otherwise. The weather here is nice too. So, the sun is beaming into my room and its warmth is comforting. I have no complaints. I'm compliant and am doing well with my work. Life could not be better. I feel blessed and grateful to be alive and relatively healthy. All smiles here from ear to ear.

I feel a little dizzy but well otherwise. I am still compliant and am eating a little too much. I exercised yesterday and felt good about myself. Today, I work again. Life is charming. I have no complaints. I enjoy keeping myself busy and preoccupied. I have no time to feel sorry for myself. I look forward to meeting the director of my volunteer job soon. I hope it is not too difficult for me. I signed up to write mental health content. We shall see. I hope everybody has a good day!!

My mind is making me question if I believe in God or religion. I came to the conclusion that I never really believed in it even though I went to Catholic Church and school for 12 years.

Sometimes though my mind goes to saying it’s a fact that He exists and I feel admonished in what I think or say or do. As if it was very bad.

I’m thinking I’m settling in with being an atheist whose disorder winds up pulling the real bits apart. Meaning: tries to make my mind up for me.

I am otherwise feeling okay.
