In the mail was my yearly check in/assessment for ssdi. I think I'm going to have to get out of my apartment, which no way, I think I'll never be able to walk them again.

I don't know what to do. Maybe for an extra tip the drivers could get me in or out of the apartment. All they have to do is go in front of me on the stairs leaving, and in back of me on the stairs going up.

I'm afraid to ask my friend. I didn't look at the mail until after he left. And it's the big scary one that a doctor has to sign I think.

I think your doctor would know better than your mom.

Summer homework? Sounds evilish. The teachers here give "advice" like visit the library and read read read cuz readers are leaders, Yay! But they don't assign anything. Being "that" mom I use to intertwine school work with games those days are long gone. Heavy protest took over and I decided I wanted them to have a mental break. So I gave up. Now video games and Netflix take full reign and they become boring kids! Ugh! They are connected with friends so they play together. So long get togethers with friends they do it online. Boring for me fun for them. Although we raced to the library today cuz he had to get back to play. Yikes! Maybe homework would provide a good break. Or is it excessive and on grade level? May I ask what US region do you live? Don't worry just want to compare my town with it. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I understand.

Morning,

Got my college induction tomorrow! A bit nervous but excited too. I'm hoping not to need to use a diazepam but we shall see.

Today will be a complete day of relaxation in the hopes of easing anxiety tomorrow.

My p-doc never got back to me but I thought I'd wait to see how I got on tomorrow before chasing him up again.

I think my anxiety must exacerbate my psychotic symptoms a bit. Voices have been a little worse this past week, so that seems to fit with the anxiety over starting college. We weren't sure which way around it was at my last appointment but I think controlling anxiety seems the key thing right now.

Had a little bit of paranoia with socializing a bit recently but hopefully that'll settle down. I guess those sorts of thoughts just feed off meeting new people.

Anyway, hope everyone is ok.

One thing that it helps to think, is most people will be nervous about going too! So you won't be the only one.

I sometimes find being in the same boat as everyone else can help a bit.

I'm sure you (we!) will be ok.

I think the stress of interviews is affecting my symptoms. I heard shouting coming from the kettle and laughing in my music the other day and then today I heard crows really really loudly inside the building, which usually means it wasn't real so I'm guna assume it wasn't since no one noticed it.
I'm seeing the psychologist tomorrow and I don't want to go, I always leave feeling like crap. I feel like she's judging me.

I've been having more audible symptoms. Here I have also heard birds make unexpected announcements. Both seagulls, and maybe crows too. Very loudly. Of course I'm the only one here so no one would believe me.

I hope your appointment will not be too bad. I'm supposed to make an appointment for the therapist. Oh and I forgot, my ssdi assessment papers were in last weeks mail. I'm so afraid but I must get them filled out. How will I do it? I feel like my head is swimming.

Thanks, sorry you've been struggling. Can you maybe do a little bit at a time? Break it down so it's not a massive scary task

Hey guys. My dentist appointment went good the other day. I have to go back and get a few fillings this coming week but that's okay. I didn't get lost using the bus lol thankfully.

College starts on Sept. 6th here, got to head over there later today to drop some paperwork off. Yesterday was a new student orientation but I am going to one on the 2nd.

Phew! College induction out the way... went fairly well.

Relieved to be back though. I dare say there will be a period of adjusting to both the work & social aspect what with my anxiety etc. Looked to me like I wasn't the oldest person on the course & there might have been a slight range outwith that... although hard to tell.

I didn't sleep well last night, damn voices... had anxiety this morning so I did take a diazepam in the end. The induction was this afternoon but it still helped keep things in the normal range of anxiety for these things.

Timetable looks good. 3 days a week.. with monday & wednesday off so, slightly longer weekend & week is broken up which is nice.

A week and a half more of freedom now. Better make the most of it...
