I had my interview today. It didn't go very well at all. I couldn't think of good answers so was giving stupid short ones. I'm a bit disappointed in myself but I'm also frustrated because I did so much preparation but none of what I had prepared came up. Oh well at least I gave it a go Roll call 81

It's still worth it, justme, because you can learn stuff from each interview. I'm sorry though. That would discourage me, but you mustn't allow discouragement in. Everything is just a learning experience.

Thank you angelique you're right I'm telling myself that it's all a learning experience and at least it proves I'm trying my best to get a job. Something will turn up eventually, just gotta keep swimming

Well, before I started to get ready to call in food, the pharmacy rang and I'll be giving him my forms to mail. Except they arent likely to be postmarked the 20th. I don't know but it's the only thing I could do.

But now I'm hungry. :/

I need the damned cogentin! Just as I worried, I finally feel something I need, and he's going to control it/me more. Why? Get me to take a med only to refuse it but he's OK with giving me a benzo! Not that he has yet. I am furious right now.

I don't know. I liked him except for this. I was open to trying a benzo to deal with the stairs here, even though it probably won't help.

At first I didn't know if I needed the Cogentin, but I got back into using it because it relieved my anxiety. And now I also need it for the restless leg/body i have from the invega.

In 2013 i vowed to myself that I'd never get addicted or habituated on another med ever again but now....

Sorry about your nephew, your in my thoughts, I've been feeling very anxious and restless. I can't stop fidgeting. It's so hard to be calm. Any suggestions? I do take antivan but sometimes I can't stop it lessens a bit. Help.

I am having a lot of mixed up feelings. I do believe it is a combo of things. Not wanting to leave the house. Not wanting to be around anyone. Zero motivation. Paranoid thinking. Anger. There's more but I think you get the picture. Anyways, I was told Roll Call is a good place for support. Can you tell me how Roll Call works?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this correctly.

I'm hoping to meet others who go through the same or very similar things as I do. It would be nice to be able to relate to others.

Thank you.
I'm having the same problem. I'm hoping a cup of tea and my chocolate snack will help.
I hope you feel better soon.

Is anyone up? It's 1:19am here. Wishing I could just take a Cogentin and have it help. I guess I will take another one. I have about 3 per day for maybe 3 or 4 days. ETA but my RX is only 2mg per day.

Considering how I feel right now, taking a Cogentin is the best thing I could do.

I haven't actually been on any meds for at least a year. Since I was super paranoid and dumped them, TBH... I probably should have been on meds and some might argue I should still be, but I'm coping. Only little bits here and there.

I find that forcing myself to socialize, having hobbies, and the structure of a workout routine is really working on keeping me focused.

My weight loss unfortunately started due to a relapse of crazy disordered eating. I pretty much starved myself for almost a month with some paranoia and delusions (mirror people stealing my image, skulls in traffic lights, thought control via nail polish and hair dye) before I started down this right path.

So I'm feeling really good and really positive. Busy, but a healthy amount of stress.

I know some people think that I should at least be in touch with a doctor - if not maybe still medicated. Personally I don't really like being so medicated. I used to think for myself that psych meds would solve all my issues but going through quite a few and now being without I prefer how I am doing things for my own self.

I got an email this morning from Tapatalk pretty much reminding me how I hadn't looked at anything lately and it made me thought to check in and see how it's going.

Smoking medical marijuana is quite different from vaping.

My room smells like the plant my sister says and I smoked it outside o.o'

I opened a window..

Good morning, at the library using the computer. I need to get a new laptop for college.

Trying to get motivated to organize my apartment.

Gonna color some later, it's relaxing. Too bad I don't have some wine to go with it, the ultimate relaxation time lol

Hope everyone is doing okay
