I am doing well. I am working and supporting myself. I don't make much but am doing ok. I pay for all of my bills. Life is ok. I'm getting more work because I opened my schedule to get more work. So, I will be working over 20 hours a week but in reality am working about 25-28 hours a week because I need to prep for classes. So, I'm doing ok. I am compliant with my medication and have been for over three years now. The only problem I am having is with men on online dating apps. One of them is stalking me now. I feel disgusted. He wanted sex, and I did not. He is also 67 years old. What a waste product!! He is so aggressive yet has nothing to offer in return. But, I can go on forever about how appalled I am. So, I will try to refrain from doing so. I made a mistake and admit it. Nobody can be trusted. So, I have to live in fear for awhile. I hope he forgets about me. I don't want to be a statistic.

I am doing pretty well this morning. Just doing stuff this morning such as listening to audiobooks. Planning on accomplishing a lot today.

I feel stressed and a little sad today. I've had a busy morning and this afternoon I'm having a difficult time trying to relax. I'm beating myself up for not doing things I think I should be doing. I really need to show myself some compassion. I'm doing the best I can.

Me, too. I beat myself up all the time. It's so weird.

I'm doing well and just went out on a date with a nice man. It went well, believe it or not!! I am happy so far. I hope he asks me out again. He did not push sex either. I like him a lot and hope it works out. My work is not too stressful but my schedule is not good still. So, life continues. I am happy overall with my life. I'm still compliant and am doing ok. I am exercising every other day for over an hour each time. I eat well also. I'm doing pretty well and have no complaints. Life could not be better and am finally getting used to my routine.

Today is a much better day for me. I've been taking things slowly. I finished up all my chores early. It's a nice sunny day and my slider is open.

Good to hear! I am doing pretty well these days. I was able to work about 4-5 hours the past few days for my job, an accomplishment I'm really proud of. I am hoping to be able to work more this week. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” |

I'm in a panic this morning. I have an appointment today. I think I am prepared. I just wish I could go now and get it over with. Maybe I need to meditate to calm down.

I'm sorry you're in a panic - is it any help to write stuff down to say in the appointment? I know sometimes that helps me if I have a plan for what I want to talk about... Seems like you're prepared though, so that's good. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” |

Thank you! I suffer from agoraphobia. So it's traumatic every time I have to leave the house. Having to catch cats and get them in the carrier makes it worse. I ended up distracting myself until it was time for my appointment. That helped soothe the pain in my chest. I have to do it again next week. Now I know what I can do to stay calm.

Do you have a therapist who can walk you through experiences like the agoraphobia? It can sometimes help to have a supportive person, even if it's just sending that person a text message or a message somehow when you're leaving the house and just to check in for support reasons. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

If I were to label today as a mood I would label it a manic day of a 7 on a scale of 10. I ordered an xl decaf coffee, but I made sure to turn into Dunkin’ Donuts from the wrong turn lane and almost hit another car. I then went shopping at 5 different stores, in between I cleaned out my closet. I felt slightly psychotic this morning, but what of I can’t remember. The highlight of my day was freezing outside and feeling a cold breeze on my neck while meditating. Although I got so much done, which was nice and it needed to get done. It’s just a sudden switch from sleeping all day.

Hi!
I am nervous because my family is putting me in a respite care for a couple of days so that they can pack. Some background, I have affective psychosis and a severe learning disability. I can write and speak ok but I have a hard time carrying out activities. My therapist and mom say it’s an issue with executive function. As I mentioned in a separate post I need help with physical needs sometimes, like showering, and managing my incontinence. I met the couple that is taking care of me and they seem kind, but I am nervous about having strangers care for me. It’s embarrassing. I hope that all made sense as a lose track of thoughts easily. |

This morning was very stressful. But I got to talk to my therapist, and that helped.

First day of respite. I’m worried I won’t sleep tonight because it’s a different bed.
