I would love to be at home right now in my pajamas with some coffee. But I'm here, so yeah. I'll be honest, right now whats keeping me motivated is the fact that the financial aid refund check is being mailed out Monday Roll Call 82 yes i do care about my education its just kind of overwhelming right now with it being the halfway point.

Is there any chance you'll want to reverse them in the future? If so make sure you don't exceed the max size for closure.

Hey blue_bird...

I'm not sure if you'll have access to wifi with your 3DS easily, but there is a demo for Sun & Moon out now you can download.

Oh cool thanks for letting me know. I can bring my 3DS to the library and try it. I'm so excited for it to come out next month!

I'm pretty sure I'm already over the max size for closure but I'm fine with them being permanent along with my tattoos

I'm tired today went to bed at 1am and woke up at 7am to do papers for 7:30am the guy I do them with complains that we do them to early not waking up with the sun he says so thats why we got up at 7:30am. So I bought another tarp today just a cheap dollar store one for 1.25$to keep the papers covered I do 75papers for the route. I have been doing the route since July and lost 22lbs roughly with all the walking and lifting. Its 3 days a week I swear without sleep but its roughly 80$ a month october/november money is going to presents.

Just going to have to keep going & try my best to make sure I'm on top of everything before we start back next week.

Here's hoping.
Do you think a med change would help? I'm doing better on Invega than Abilify. I'm glad they changed that in the hospital.

I'm not sure when I fell asleep this morning but I didn't get up until after 4 pm. 😵 I think I have an appointment on Friday and I feel like I can never do the stairs again, especially not by myself.

They are giving me Risperidone 0.5mg 3x a day along with the Abilify injection and oral pill. That's all I'm on right now.

Antipsychotics..

They are changing me to a different unit for addictions. I'm not addicted to anything but I'll just do it for everyone else I guess. It's a 22 day program.

My mom took all of my money by draining my bank account.

I get 1600 on the 26th. How do I get money from my account without a bank visa debit card idk she has it.

I spent my last 21 dollars on cigarettes to last 3 weeks or so. I have 4 dollars left.

I'm asking my new psychiatrist for Concerta cuz I did a psychological test that says obvious lack of attention severely after..

No stimulants for over a week.

Couldn't sleep all night, too paranoid.

I hate nights like that, where I'm too worried about cars in front of my house to sleep. Guess everyone has bad days though.

Pdoc appointment at 3:30 today, first appointment since I got out of the hospital.

i'm sure there is good reason for your mom to handle your money right now

i guess if you need anything, just ask her to buy it and bring it to you when she visits.

Went to the dentist today for a filling and found out I need a root canal. Hopefully my insurance covers it. I still have 7 more fillings to get and I've had like 3 already. This is what purging and not taking care of your teeth does.

Hi Tweaky,

you should emphasize to them that if you're not ready to go into an addiction program or if you don't think you're addicted to anything then there's zero point going to rehab, like minus zero point. You in hospital?

A lot of people don't go voluntarily into rehab, or think they are addicted to anything...

So that's never a good indication of anything.

Anyway, you don't have to be physically addicted... misusing drugs in general can be an issue.

I hope you manage to get something out of it Mr. Tweakster. (other than lots of contacts ) Just go into it with an open mind, and who knows... maybe you'll actually get something out of it.

Quite possibly but my psychiatrist said the usual thing to do is max out the dose of the current medication before trying a new SSRI. Makes sense since it did work before & since trying new ones will be pot luck.

As for APs... I'm not at that point, yet. Too much of a risk they'll sap my motivation away to treat anything but pronounced symptoms. Sure, I've had symptoms creep through here & there... but to date I've not had any kind of relapse so... fingers crossed that'll never happen.

Thought this was interesting. We've talked about CBD but not THC lowering psychotic symptoms-----turns out its a partial agonist at the D2 receptor much like abilify.

If you want to try something amazing , try the way I eat Ramen. I get beef or chili flavored Maruchan raman, has to be that brand, then put in like 15 shakes of cayenne pepper and a piece of lime, squeeze the juice in then put the wedge of lime in the broth and leave it there. It is AMAZING. I used to eat it so much that I got sick of it but its been well over a year and its good for this cold weather.
