Roll Call 41

Fantastic!

i hope my coworker texts me back soon. he wanted me to switch shifts with him on wednesday but i didnt respond to the text. now i would like to switch but he hasnt texted me back. i think hes prob asleep. but i am seeing T at 3 30 and have to be at work at 5. its a 30 min drive to work from T office. im neurotic about being late to anything. it stresses me out. if my coworker cant switch our shifts then i will have to bring my uniform to T and change before i leave.

i feel pretty anxious right now. i wish i could calm down some.

oh and im going to go look at an apartment at noon today. i hope its nice. its actually one that i can afford

good luck on the apartment JunkDNA!

Indeed, have fun checking it out!

Had an alright day here... just been playing a game & about to pop out to the shops with my Mum.

Trying to wean myself off cigarettes onto NRT stuff but it's hard. Currently on a patch & have smoked like 3 cigarettes worth today. (been smoking like 1/3rd of a cig instead of a whole one)

looks good lillybird!!!

well im on my way to mississippi to the funeral. i stopped at a mcdonalds because i hadnt had a cigarette in 2 days and it made me feel like crap so i didnt smoke it all. ew

I've totally cut back on smoking from over a pack a day to ten a day. Boo ya!

i told my cousin i love him over facebook cuz of what happened and it got really awkward. im not sure if hes used to it or if it was just cause we dont talk much or something. ugh this whole thing is gonna be awkward and i told my dad i dont wanna go up to see my aunts body in the viewing...

good job

You look fabulous!

Well I got left overs last night. It was nice of my family. Still haven't cleaned...

It's been quiet on roll call lately.

Some questions for schizophrenics and psychotics -

Do you find that your medication adequately addresses the voices in your head? If not, how do you cope with them? Was there ever a time when you did not hear voices, or when you heard voices but perceived them as your own?

Thank you for any replies.

K.O.

Is nicorette nicotine?

I never knew there was such thing as nicotine gum or nicotine pills.

Thank you everyone I am happy with my new hairstyle glad everyone else likes it too
I forgot to wish you people in America a happy thanksgiving sorry I forgot it was yesterday...Our thanksgiving here in Canada is celebrated on the second monday in October.

yesterday i texted T happy thanksgiving and he texted back that he was thankful for me. it made me feel good.

i am so tired. i get 3 days off now. it was so boring at work tonight. and the manager was all cranky.

i found 40 dollars in the parking lot when i left at 10.

um. tired.

im still up.
everyones still up. some people left back to the hotel.
im tired and ill be sleeping on my uncles couch tonight.

I hate this curse, what ever this is.

Yes the meds work from 95-100% for me with better results of being on them longer. I didn't hear voices until I was 36... Before that and now I have my own Internal voice which is considered normal....

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. Went out last night and I'm hungover as hell, so staying in bed watching tv all day is a must

Very quiet around roll call lately, where is everyone?

It's been a while since I last posted on here. I can't remember why I stopped posting. Anyway, since I last posted on here I've OD'd twice on my medication on purpose. Now my medication doesn't seem to be working anymore. But I'm not going to tell my care coordinator because there's nothing wrong with me and pills aren't the answer. I'm just different to other people. I'm never alone because I have voices to listen to. That's pretty special. I don't care what other people think. I'm not letting that bother me anymore.

My parents were in town so I've been going everywhere and before that I was reading the web comic girl genius obsessively so I've been on here less....don't know about everyone else though....

I suppose it's a busy time of year in real life! Especially in the US with Thanksgiving. Wish I didn't spend so much time at the computer. Have to get used to driving again (don't want to drive at night yet) so I can have some more freedom and get out more!

Yeah I'm not Great at driving either I kind of hate it here in the city except for public transit....wonder if that's common for people with psychosis? I almost want to start a poll....

But yeah where are our UK guys?

You called!

I don't drive but it has nothing to do with my psychosis. I live in the centre of town, so not like I have any need for a car. Perfectly happy relying on public transport for going further afield.

I drove a motorbike about 2 years ago and was grand. Trying to get used to it again after such a long break, I just need more confidence really, don't think it has anything to do with psychosis. Though for some reason when I do get and act 'funny' I generally want to go driving, my parents generally hide the keys if I'm acting strange. Also, I live in the country so the roads are very badly lit so driving at night takes some experience.

How's it going?

Here in the US you need a car regardless....the public transit just isn't that great....someone in my lab is from mexico and complains about it all the time and we're in chicago. I laugh because many cities don't even have bus service at all so I tell her we are one of the best places in the country....
