Roll Call 52

Middle of the night med munchies?

My sleep schedule(if you want to call it that, lol) was a lot like yours when I was taking Seroquel as a very young adult. My days and nights got flipped around and I would snack all night.

Thank you!

It's been raining here for awhile, most of the month actually. The sun came out for a couple of days last week but then it went away. We're forecast to get more sunlight here soon though, that will be nice. I enjoy a good thunderstorm don't get me wrong but I like having sunlight too.

I've heard of schema therapy, I find it really interesting. Getting started on anything creative is always the hard part for me as well, once I start though it just flows.

You have referenced a lot of different models that your therapist uses in your posts, he sounds like he really knows what he's doing. Glad you have him, it sounds like you're doing a lot of important work and I admire that.

I have my therapist appointment today, we are both still getting to know each other(I've only been seeing her a month and a half now). I don't open up easily(I'm a paranoid person, it's not so much a feeling for me as it is a thought pattern instead, hard to explain) so it'll be a process... I'm okay with that though. I just need to be patient with myself and with her. She's a smart woman and when she read in my paperwork I had to fill out before our first session that I have schizoophrenia she did a bunch of research about schizophrenia(because she said that what she was taught about the illness is pretty basic and wanted to expand her knowledge) so she would know how to help me better. I like her a lot and respect her for doing that, no therapist I've had before has taken the time to learn more about my illness and how to best help me because of how my illness pervades everything I do in my life.

GUESS WHAT!

I will be able to start my college courses again in May!

Since I had already completed 2 classes (6 credits this year) The 2 classes I had to withdraw from put mE down to 50% completion rate, I probably don't owe any money and I am just on a warning as long as I do my classes coming up.

cool, that's great! i am taking a writing class this summer.

Hey there! No sleep yet?
Your list of foods made me hungry haha

I'd hurt someone for bacon right now. I had to settle for oatmeal

Hi JunkDNA, what kind of writing class are you taking?

time for a new roll call!

Morning roll call!!

I hope everyone is doing ok. I'm glad to say I am getting along well. I've stayed at 2mg of risperidone & my voices are now very quiet. I go for up to 30 mins to an hour without hearing them from time to time so I'm definitely making progress.

Yesterday was also the last day of my citalopram taper, so I'm now officially off that. I've had one or two days with some mild anxiety but I think that is just my body adjusting to the lack of medication. Hoping now to remain off it without any issues.

Other than that I am over at my parent's house & we have some friends of the family visiting which is nice. I think we are going on a day trip today to visit a castle which I'm looking forward to.

I'll hopefully be checking back in here again soon... maybe start posting a bit more again.
