Roll Call 82

The leaves haven't changed yet. I'll take more when they do

Hey guys how are you all doing? Had a doctor appointment with my primary care Dr. for a followup on how the eating disorder is going, I told her I've struggled a lot but I've been doing really good for over a week now and plan to stick to not bingeing and/or purging. Got my flu shot while I was there, then got blood work to check thyroid and just some other basic stuff.

Have an appointment with my psych NP in about an hour, things have been going wonderful with the wellbutrin added.

Only 1 class today, psychology. It was freezing here earlier, in the low 30's, I actually wore my down winter coat over my hoodie

Wonderful view DNA

Ahh freedom !

they won't allow AC units in my building in fact they put out notices stating that we need to take them out by 21 of october I asked why and I got this snotty replyl and I was like can I get that in writing and she was like why and I was like its my right to have anything that I ask for to be in writing since it counts where I live

They're gorgeous! Thank you! But the leaves aren't turning the fall colors yet. I doubt they are here too. The mountains look beautiful.

The leaves here are

junkDNA, I took some pictures of the fall foliage above my retina doctor's building 3 or 4 years ago - it was late October I think. Anyway, the leaves were turning and it was so beautiful. But the camera on my phone at the time washed the colors out. Now I'm wondering if my new phone could do better. I'll have to remember to try it.

Got weighed today. I have lost a little over 25 lbs since moving here

Wow that's awesome!! Good job

Back hurts and everything speaks. Powers on though.

Thank you, Blue_Bird! It looks like confetti after a parade! So pretty.

That's wonderful!

I am doing a bit better since I freaked out after one of my abusers contacted me, but it is fragile, I am trying to stay stress-free.

Wow, that's great, I would like to lose 25lbs too, It could be really had to lose weight.

I have lost only 8 lbs.

I don't know if gifs work on this, but girls, if there was a gif to work :drool:

This is me with the people I haven't quite got on with on here.

Yay! Good job

I'm freezing. It's so cold in my house I can't stand it. We are putting the heat on tonight. I've had enough toughing it out.
Spent my day curled up in bed. Not sure that I slept much but I was warm and comfy.
Tomorrow I see pnp again. This every two weeks thing is for the birds. I think I'm doing okay on the Zoloft so I'm pleased.
I tried to sign up for the Latuda savings card but it wouldn't let me. I have a $65 copay on it add that to all my other scripts and I'm looking at $150 per month on scripts alone. Not to mention the $40 a month in pnp copays. This is getting ridiculous. I can't afford to spend that much on doctor ****. I'm going to have to get a job just to cover copays lol. I know some people have it much worse. I'm just venting.

I used to have to take mine out in the fall and put them back in the spring when I was living in a building with radiator heat....they need to conserve the heat in winter.

So I mentioned on here before that I'm losing my job next summer. It is what it is but I can't find anything else I'm qualified for in my line of work so I've decided to retrain----my plan is to go to the local community college to pick up some prerequisites to see if I like the intro to the field then to study for and take the GRE. My current top choice is to get a masters or doctorate of occupational therapy, if I end up not liking the prerequisites then I'll consider something with computers like data science. It's going to be expensive and long to do this but I should have a good job when I'm done. I really like the idea of helping people, it's something I really wanted to do while I was psychotic and maybe I'll be fulfilling that dream by helping people with disabilities to get better to some extent. What I really like about OT is the fact that you ask the person what they want help with and then you do that.

I haven't turned the heat on quite yet but soon, it will be really cold later this week.

Yeah I used to have an abilify savings card but when I changed insurance they wouldn't take it either, the pharm was just like you can't use this with your insurance. My abilify was costing $50 a month but now its down to $10 in the generic. I dread seeing what it will be next summer when I sign on for obamacare.

Pics are great, yes more please when the colors turn

Beautiful and congrats on the weight loss

So. The voices were telling me that my medication wasn't making me feel anxious. i hadn't took a shower in a few days and they said the government puts benzodiazepines in the water to keep society stable. They recommended I take a bath due to my anxiety attack and complete unnerving feelings, which I never do, but did anyway. Felt much better after it. Not immediately after but about a half hour later as it absorbed into my skin and into my system. Think the anxiety was withdrawal from the benzo's in the water.

Such a wonderful job, helping people, and you will do well. You already did (though maybe not as a job), you are and you will. Good luck SP, you are really an inspiration
