Roll Call 53

Whenever I want to knock out quickly, I start reading Winnie the Pooh. It's really word dense, which makes me fall asleep. I found this out when my daughter was 3 and I used to read it to her as a bedtime story. I ended up putting us both to sleep.

I don't sleep when I go to bed early. And if I go to bed late I won't get up until noon. The anxiety is out of control. I can't live like this. They wrecked my life. I hate their guts.

hey guys im feeling better. i saw the NP she kept trying to put me on klonopin. like really trying. i kept saying no bc i didnt want to be tempted to abuse it. but she doesnt understand me or that i used to be a hardcore drug addict. it bothered me. i told T after i saw her and he said he'd talk to her.

i work today... i dont want to. i woke up early but i got good sleep. yesterday was scary but T helped me thru it so did the PRNs.

Woke up really early today, I don't know why. Tired but can't sleep.

Good morning! Not feeling good, but a little better than yesterday. Took NyQuil last night and that knocked me out all night

Me too. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe it's a side effect of smoking withdrawal.

Yeah I couldn't smoke in the hospital, withdrawal killed me

I'm dying for kpin. It's the only thing that kept me functional all my life. Now that I was forced off it, and so fast, I'm so sick I can't even cope with basic functioning. You're right to stay off it if you have reservations about it. You never know when some imbecile will force you off it, like what happened to me and many others. Those people should be stripped of their licenses to practice and put in jail.

I don't want to be here anymore. please excuse my rage.

Apparently this woman was deemed schizophrenic just because she didn't speak English and had a small amount of Spanish and confused Interpreters.....she was kept locked up for 12 years, presumably because she didn't get better....things like this really scare me....

I'm sorry you feel so bad.....

i just got a letter saying that my state wont pay my medicare part b premium anymore and now theyre taking 100 dollars out of my disability check each month for it. wtf

hmm i think its because i lost my medicaid bc i moved and didnt know i was supposed to transfer it to this county. so HOPEFULLY i will get medicaid back and the state will pay my part B premium again....

im sorry ur feeling bad i used to be dependent on benzos and i withdrew from them one time. it sucked. i cant imagine someone taking it away just like that and leaving you to suffer the withdrawal. they can be deadly. is there a way u could find a different dr and get back on it?

Morning everyone. Allergies are in full force here. Have to go grocery shopping but I don't have it in me to leave the house.

i have my NP appt today.
i hope all goes well

me 2

i got my ambien changed back! it took almost an hour long talk and my peer support specialist and therapist all talked on my side

Glad your appointment went well


Have a killer headache from my allergies, it looked like it was snowing outside yesterday with all the pollen and stuff floating around in the air

My head is banging too feel better

I went to the grocery store!!! I did it! I had the kids with me so it wasn't so bad...they keep my on my toes with little time to think about everything else.

I'm looking for a new T...well technically I'm looking for an additional T. I checked with my insurance company and they have no regulations on how many Ts I can see. I dislike my current T but have to continue on with her in order to see my pdoc. I've decided to go every other week to each T. Hopefully the 2nd T will be able to give me what the 1st T is lacking. The search is confusing though...I'd really like someone that has a lot of experience with schizophrenia but it's hard to tell from their short profiles.

Mathematics and Logic are the bedrock for philosophy. It's the tool for criticizing ideas. The one thing that we know what is universally true is mathematics. Pythagoras was the first to find this out, and Socrates and Plato owe a debt to him for this.

Logic will help you analyze and see fallacies that will ruin 24 hour tv news for you forever. Just remember, just because an argument may be valid doesn't make it true. Premises, which are the bedrock for any argument, which go untested and taken for granted may always be wrong.

Socrates is a man
all men are mortal
therefore Socrates is mortal.

That is valid but is Socrates really a man? Is there something within Socrates that lives on after death? These are the premises which might shake a valid logical argument

Then we can go about stating that all bachelors are unmarried men. This is a a deductive statement and a mere tautology and Hume says that this is just a truth about words. Its form of skepticism that separates the objective with the subjective.

Is a2 + b2 = c2? Is this a mere tautology, a truth about numbers? Put another way, is this a statement that was discovered and is true whether one thinks about it or not, or is it just a play on numbers that isn't external to us? Interesting that gluons and quartz come together based on number. Interesting that atoms made of electrons, neutrons and protons come together and in their relationship have a numerical basis. If we go further up the chart to the periodical table we find that it is governed by number too. So do numbers exist external of mind?

Vin diagrams are something that help us visualize problems.

All of this is healthy for the mind and help a rational creature become ever more rational. Still Beware, they hardly teach philosophy of mathematics because the mathematicians don't understand philosophy and the philosophers have trouble grasping mathematics. Mathematics and logic are always challenging. I would go on rateyourprofessor.com to see if he gets okay reviews first.

Intro for logic will stretch your mind. I hope your professor helps you visualize as much as possible. Also, if you get stuck I recommend watching youtube videos so you can see other people teach it in real time again if you get stuck. I used it for my Spanish classes and all my mathematics courses. It's good to see it done, its best to do it yourself. There's something about when you hand write something that it helps you remember and your mind will grapple it better. Also, at your school they might have a math center I would recommend.

I wish you the best, Newtus. If you can get through these wavy waters, then anything after will be much easier.

Ody, I did logic for Computer Science and we never went into such detail as you've described. Never went through the whole point of it, only how it related to programming. Your further analysis of it all would have made the whole module that much more interesting!

Oh and just to add: Newtus, check out Khan Academy I'm pretty sure they have a video on basic logic, truth tables, logic gates etc.

Angelique, stay with us, stay in the moment, just breath, be here, live, do all that you can do. You're an amazing lady and unfortunately you have to deal with a holes like that nurse.

You have 4 options to solve this problem:
Solve the Problem
Change the situation or avoid, leave and get out of that situation for good

Feel better about the problem
Change or regulate your emotional response to the problem

Tolerate the problem
Accept and tolerate both the problem and your response to the problem.

Final One
Stay Miserable
Or possibly make it worse
