Maybe a Xanax would be a good idea until you settle in I'm sure you'll have fun there. Enjoy yourself!

Yeah it is different when you get a new pet, but loving the new pet doesn't diminish the love for the old pet

Yeah it is creepy, real or not. I guess I have to stop fretting over whether it was real or not. It doesn't make much difference seen as no one will believe I hallucinated them anyway.

Yeah we have daddy long legs here, but they're insects not spiders. They fly too which is icky *shudder*

Anyway have to try and go to sleep now cos it's almost 2am. Night all

Is it better being alone or around people? Where did everybody go? What do you find calming...for me a nice bath or some yoga or even progressive muscle relaxation would work to some extent for anxiety but for psychosis I need engagement...an awesome movie, a complex problem anything engrossing...maybe just going for a long walk since it's a new area you haven't seen yet...post some pics for us...

Ok I really have to go to sleep lol but we're actually talking about 2 different things. I googled it and a UK daddy long legs is a flying insect also called a crane fly, while a US daddy long legs is a spider like you said. Another UK English vs US English difference!

Night! (For real this time! Lol)

I actually really liked the nps for infections etc they were less pressured somehow but I can't imagine for psych it's a lot more complicated with all the med choices and their side effects...
I know every time I've seen a actual psychiatrist they always--what they call clean up my meds. And they're usually right or pretty close.

With psych nurses it's kind of a guessing game it seems like. And I'm on more meds. Psychiatrists seem to just choose a couple but it's pretty close to what's needed.

Love ur cat junk, he is handsome.

I have 2 cats both male. Tiger an orange tabby and Midnight a tuxedo cat. They're my babies. Midnight is 11 and Tiger is 7. Tiger is the dominant one. He can be mean to poor Midnight, but Tiger is the biggest loverboy I've ever seen in a cat. Love my kitties.

Yeah that's one of the things they know even among APs which are all pretty similar if you complain about some effect from one of them they'll have a pretty good alternative that won't have that particular effect not to say it won't do something else bad because to some extent they all do but it at least won't do what turned you away from the first...also I was only ever on one med at a time albeit we considered a sleeping pill at times...I know bipolar/sza is harder to manage though and often needs multiple meds...

I was going to suggest you go to sleep. Hope you got back to sleep after your cousin woke you.

Funny how someone can suggest something and we start believing it.

My nurse is coming tomorrow, she's going to be able to tell I stopped taking my meds.
I don't know how many times I need to say I'm not sick though.

I took this video a few evenings ago, I forgot to zoom in though



Can just see the light flashing, then I turned my camera off and it came closer, but I was starting to get anxious and wanted to get out the room, there are elusive though.

It's obvious to me, but not to everyone else.

I'm usually the one that is more critical of food tasting odd (either due to my illness or it really does taste off) especially since I do most of the cooking. So when the criticism comes from him it's really rare and can be unsettling to me.

But lately I've been noticing odd behavior coming from my housemate. In the past 3 months my housemate hit a parked car with a woman in it while parking next to her in a grocery parking lot. He has the early stages of glaucoma due to him having diabetes, so clearly his vision sucks. So, now I do all the driving for grocery shopping because I don't trust him while I'm in the car with him driving. Then we were all watching a movie on the DVD player and right in the middle of the movie he gets up and shuts off the DVD player thinking that the movie we were watching was on cable. Mind you, he put in the movie in the DVD player in the first place. And then the other night he says my meat sauce tasted odd and threw out the dish. This guy is only going to be 58 this year, which is not old. My housemate's father had his leg amputated due to complications from diabetes and then eventually died of Alzheimer's disease. After his father died, my housemate then had a spare room and wanted to help me out so I moved in, of which I am truly grateful. But still, knowing my housemate's medical history and where it looks he might be headed is scary to watch as it unfolds before my very eyes.
Thanks for this!

I'm also sorry that I don't reply to other's posts as often to give advice that often. Its because most of the time I can't figure out what to say, and also I don't want to give the wrong advice. Also, I don't socialize just to socialize. Sometimes it goes weeks or even months in between calls to my friends. I don't know if its due to my illnesses or what. Just remember part of having autism is having a difficult time socializing and not knowing how to do it properly.

As for me, however, my life still sucks. Mom is real to the extreme. She is sick.... again. Constant problems. My mom still has to have dangerous life-threatening surgery. Now, the doctor has backed off because of the high risk to her life. We would have to wait until we move. The surgery will still come. My mom is also having Asthma and Bronchitis. My dad had the nerve to tell me, "You don't know what bad is." What? You mean that mom's deadly many health problems isn't bad enough? Having to get rid of a dream house to move into a dump isn't bad enough? having to worry to death about our lack of a future isn't bad enough? I think his definition of "bad" is an actual death in the family, or being on the street at this very moment.

My brother had surgery on Friday and he is incredible pain. He's on the verge of tears. I know with my surgery in January of this year it did hurt. But I didn't cry. I didn't even cry when I had to be hospitalized with my abscessed tooth in 2009. My face swelled up several times its size. If I waited any longer, the infection could have entered my bloodstream.

I hope I'm not bringing anyone down. I am happy about that game I keep on talking about on here. That is the very thing that keeps me from having more severe problems. A very good distraction technique. Seeing the updates daily about this game helps tremendously.
(((hug))) firebird. I hope things improve soon.

People were respectful of me too. I think people on that subreddit is tired of the whole "I have (insert mental illness here) ama" or "I've been to a mental hospital ama"

Yeah I think the current rules for ama's specifically say no psychiatric disorders unless you do one of the casual ama's because its hard to prove and fairly common...not sure what you did but the reality is people on reddit want novelty so a lot of it is in the timing...if someone else just did one a week ago well you're probably not going to do so well if its been 6 months then yeah...

I did it like back in 2011 so I'm not sure if that rule was there at the time. Lol I kind of want to delete it. It felt like I was complaining and making light of mental illness and not informative at all.

You know we all grow and change as we age but there is probably somebody who's getting something from what you wrote then because they are at the same spot. That's one of the reason I don't worry about posting on here because I've learned a lot in the last year but somebody can probably still relate to where I was at a year ago even though there are aspects of it I might like to edit...
