My OT suggested I do 5 minutes at a time, and after 5 minutes either take a 5 minute break, or go for another 5 minutes but it's taking me forever to get through it. Second week of class and I'm just about to finish the FIRST chapter. If I don't get going, by the end of this week I'll be 3 chapters behind. I almost finished the first chapter, I went to do work at the library because I focus better there than at home, but after 30 minutes my brain quit and I just couldn't finish the chapter even though I only had two pages left. I'm reading and taking notes at the same time.
I'm not sure what the class is but would an audio book be better?

The class is a university Anthropology class - Religion, Magic and Witchcraft.

I'm not sure an audiobook would help. I've never tried a textbook as an audiobook, I don't know if I'd retain it better. I feel like I'd need to keep rewinding it to take proper notes. I have the same problem with lectures in class, I miss a lot. I already have the print textbook, I'm not sure if it's available as an audiobook.

The extra book I need to read I managed to find as an ebook. I'm better at reading on a kindle, for some reason I can focus on it better.

Today's my grandad's birthday. So I decided to leave the safety of the flat to celebrate with him. While waiting at the crossing a woman stood right behind me invading my personal space. She was in easy reach of my neck. I have never been so scared in all of my life. As soon as the walk signal appeared I bolted across the road as fast as I could. It's obvious that the woman was a spy on a mission to kill me. No way in hell am I going to be choked to death by a spy. I've already been strangled once in my life time. I refuse to let history repeat itself. Because this time I might not get so lucky.

After that scare, I cautiously walked about in public. Thank goodness the unpleasant frightening ordeal is over with. Now I'll just continue to look forward to tomorrow. I can't wait to see my friend again. We're having a comedy movie night to celebrate me getting accepted into a college.

Something is still wrong---I'm getting intermittent headaches and my arm was really sore enough to wake me up last night but I wasn't sleeping on it or anything. Food is still pretty unappealing. It's super weird.

ok well. things have been bad. overall feeling of everything is fu_ked up. just keep thinking that over and over. being spied on. bad things. harm is coming my way. i met with pdoc. T was on speaker phone. cuz he is home sick. it was hard to communicate and say whats going on. but T knew. cuz i text him and tell him. he knew exactly what i meant when i said theres a lot of bad things going on. pdoc tried to give suggestions. he didnt believe me. what i said about my neighbor. i cried. then it was over. T text me afterwards. "how are you". said i was feeling really bad. said i dont know how to make the obsessive thoughts stop. stop obsessing and repeating . i went to community house and talked to recovery coach. told her that everything is fu_ked up. and worried about not getting enough sleep tonight. she said she can call my manager. she said my manager knows that sometimes i will need support and to take off from work. she called him. he said not a problem i can take tonight off. she said he understood. so i dont have to work tonight. but still have to be there at 7am tomm. T text and said he is sorry im struggling and to hang in there. i said im trying my best and thanks for all u do. he said i know ur trying. pdoc said to take invega pills. so im doing that. things are f_ked up. but i just have to keep living. suicide is not an option. even tho i think about it. not an option. it wont be this bad forever. right?

I'm sorry things are going poorly right now and no it won't be this bad forever you have already been much better than this before. Do you think any of this is switching over to the invega? If you were more stable on the other it might be worth going back? Give moosolini a hug and do something nice for yourself Did you make a box of care items like some of use were doing---this would be the perfect time for that---if not then why not make one?

I have been more or less living on ice cream the last 2 weeks---today I tried something called a magnum bar----it is a lot like a dove bar but it's got two layers of chocolate shell and a layer of molten caramel in between---if anyone needs to cheer up I highly recommend it

I have never been though a hurricane---part of me would like to experience it as long as I wouldn't get hurt or anything---just for the experience. Luckily that part of my brain is not in charge....

Hello roll call, I think I've only posted on here once...

Having a weird sort of day today. I had a take out and tasted something weird in it in it, so thought it was poison but I seem to be alright so not too worried about that anymore. There were loads of people around today and I felt as if one of them was going to kill me, it was horrible. I much prefer being on my own or just with immediate family and my T, who I know care about me and won't try to kill me.

thanks. i have moosolini with me. he reminds me that T cares. not sure about invega not working. it worked good the past 2 months. just under a lot of stress it seems. and kind of all started with my neighbor. he is new here. the first time i saw him outside he didnt say anything to me and just stared. i got a creepy feeling. i get bad feelings about him. i think he is a bad man. i think he put cameras in my apartment when i was at work. i think he records me and is going to murder me one night. i told pdoc this but pdoc said maybe he is just reserved and quiet type. pdoc doesnt get it.

i dont have a self care box. maybe i will make one. i did something bad and bought a soda. i havent drank soda in a month. i am trying to stop drinking it. i felt like i wanted it though. cuz i feel so bad. that maybe it will help me feel better. but i feel guilty. at least dont have to work tonight. im glad T understands. im glad T was on the phone in dr office. he understands me more. im glad T is in my life
