Do you really think that will go well

You sure that's a good idea? If I remember right, it hasn't gone well for you in the past.

I get along with the others here, I wish you good luck but are you sure this is the right time?

****in A. I'm having an episode, my son is running a fever, and I'm hallucinating my *** off. Glad my wife is here.

Morning!

I think my sleep is starting to improve... I mean... I felt I slept well until like 5:30ish. Did wake up a few times but seemed to fall asleep again quickly, although after that my mind just took off.

Glad I've got a week off now... which equates to 10 days of freedom!

(I have some college work to do, but still... not too much pressure)

I'm going down to my parents' house today for a week. They are actually on holiday right now, but I'm going to be looking after the cats until they get back mid-week. Will be nice to get away.

Hope everyone has a good day.

If you'd had a friend with POA, would you have trusted them to do what's best? My friend said he wouldn't do that but isn't POA for doing just that? (Getting me hospitalized in a long term place so he's not burdened with me anymore.) I wish I had been able to hear that conversation between my friend and his pdoc.

I went off meds 5/6 weeks ago against the wishes of people. Everyone kept saying it would not end well, yet I am absolutely fine. I feel better than I have in a long time.

I'm rooting for you!

Wish I had a ten day break lol, I have projects and essays and assignments and tests all to do, so much going on it's hard to keep track of everything. Definitely not taking 5 classes next semester, it's pretty overwhelming

Nix · Oct 15, 2016, 08:35 AM

Wow five classes is a lot.

Yeah that sounds like a lot! I think I had 5 courses one semester in my first year of uni years ago.

So far, I've had 1 assessment & 2 mock assessments. Was supposed to have another but it was online based & the server was down when we were in class.

(sort of annoying really when I just wanted it out the way!)

We have had like a load of assignments all from one class... well, it's 3 classes really but all taught by the same teacher in 1 day.

I'm sure you'll cope.

PS - we never got an October break at uni, college just mirrors high school holidays pretty much.

Do you really want another gash in your head? No offence but that's the way it always seems to go.

The cycle seems to be you stop taking meds, get hospitalized... return to some level of functioning then immeadiatly come off meds again. That's no way to keep going if you want to think about college next year...

Just keeping it real, because that's what you'd do for anyone else.

Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your Saturday. It's cold here today but still pretty. I promised to bring my daughter out so that's my plan for the day. It's take out night so no cooking. Yay!

greentires4me · Oct 15, 2016, 01:49 PM

all our leaves are all over the ground from the typoon that hit last night most of the maple leaves have turned yellowish orange and some bright red nothing is thrilling me about it just means winter is closer upon us the route i deliver newspapers the one driveway is covered in maple leaves and it makes it very slippery and its on a slope so it makes it worse. sure its pretty but all the work that goes into the clean up of them isn't fun at all nor cleaning of the gutters.
