My psychiatrist doesn't want to send me away with tremors because it got worse so I get cogentin as PRN.

Increased the Vyvanse to 60mg.

If it's better than 90mg concerta, I'll keep it. I miss that kick in the morning from Concerta though. With the Vyvanse, I don't notice it and I'm not as focused.

I always think they should say, "Half a bag of air for only $4.99, the chips in the bottom are absolutely free!"

I don't like talking about that part of my life, either.

i was wanting to talk to my therapist about some childhood issues i had. i had some problems with toilet issues. like using the bathroom not in the toilet and i wet the bed til i was 17. plus other stuff i had going on with that.

But I feel like I have to be high a number of times so I know what it's like to be in a good mood that isn't a 4/10.

One guy told me that I'm cool but they respect my need to isolate which is a twisted irrational thing that I shouldn't be doing and it kills me. Narcissism aside, I think I'm great but people have to talk to me first. That's the only reason I made friends here.

I feel like I would do it for everyone that has these symptoms.

Any support would be ok but if it's a lot of support, I might be less anxious and I'd definitely do it.

Logical non sense is filling up my brain. I'm a 7/10 agitated.
A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet. When I mingle I always ask, "So what's good in life?'

Or if they ask me how it's going I say, "Good now that you asked!"

Compliment their clothing, smile, charm, something positive that resonates. Also, people love talking about themselves. Ask then prying questions. Try to get them to open up and tell you their passions. If you can begin to talk about that then you've just lit a match. Think about that however you want.

I hate being the center of attention. I don't even tell people about my birthday. I like to hang out in small groups where I can give quips all night. .

everytime we talk about it or come close to talking about it i get really upset and like shut down mentally...then i get depressed and suicidal. i know i need to talk about it and T is a good person to do it with. i know he is waiting for me to get into it...i knw he doesnt want to push me or overwhelm me. he wants me to do it when im ready. but i just wonder if ill ever be ready. most of me just wants to block it out and pretend it didnt happen. ive lived that way so long now it just seems normal to me. but i can see how it is coming out sideways in my life, like the psychosis and social anxiety and stuff.

maybe its just not time yet

I think your therapist is wise. Giving you a narrative that you can find something that speaks to you emotionally and intellectually will mold thought, form ideas, and most importantly, move you.

I searched high and low for something that would speak to me. I read The Center Cannot Hold and that made me feel like I was not alone. Goethe's Faust, made me feel like moving on, letting the past be past, that this is just a mental thought, a mental prison that I just need to walk out of as if it were merely a door metaphorically, and to do that I talked, and talked, and read and read.

I with you well JunkDNA

thank you.

the book is helpful. it feels like it puts my experiences into neat little words. instead of this huge blurry mess of pain and confusion.

what if they wont talk when approached with questioning? this person has been talking to me on kik. ive been asking then prying questions and theyve been giving me one word statements and its frustrating. i quit talking to them. it makes me hate them.
