Newtus, Sometimes gave you some good advice up there, but what about trying to volunteer again? You're doing better now than you were last time you volunteered, so you might be able to stick it out long enough to make friends there this time. And it will fill your time more. I've met loads of people volunteering over the years and it's easy to talk to them as you are doing stuff together and seeing each other week after week.

Honestly I have friends who I hardly ever speak to or see. Most of my friends take days/weeks to reply to a text message. They also usually forget my birthday. That's just how they are. I don't take it personally anymore because it's just harder to keep in touch when everyone lives in different cities and is busy with different things. It is what it is.

The more you do, the more variety of things you will have to talk about and so the more people there will be to connect with (ie have more things in common with). I know you can do online dating on certain sites as looking for friends only, and there's also meetup.com though you will probably have to be prepared to travel for that as you live so rurally. But once you make the effort to travel to meet people and really get to know them, you will have more people to text/chat with and you can arrange to meet up nearer to you, like halfway between where you both live.

at least i have my boby


It sucks i only have texting buddies. I enjoy texting but im also looking for more of a friend who can hang out.

Biggest problem is is that the only person i know around me in the nearest area is my ex. Hes thinking about moving out of state next year. So id be down to knowing no one around here.

I cant have conversations with myself, so I dont get why I was the only one who was warned
sorry bout that. i dont go in the chat so im not sure what its like. it does seem to have a lot of complaints tho

It's $130 just to hook my car up to a machine and read the engine check light at a dealership. That's insane! All together it was $260 for an oil change and to get two things diagnosed with my car. Hopefully I get my car back tomorrow and the bill wont be over a grand. It shouldn't be. Nothing can drain a bank account like car problems.

If anyone is looking for a good podcast I recommend Kill Tony by Deathsquad. It's a live podcast at a comedy club where new random guests try stand up for a minute and then they get interviewed afterwards. It's one of the best podcasts I've come across.

Hi, all!

I'm doing okay for the most part. Some anger issues and anxiety but nothing substantial.
Thanks for this!

I've read on here about some pdocs saying that going off/on like PRNs will make you resistant, like Sometimes mentioned, but I've never been told that myself or talked to a pdoc professionally who ever said that, so idk? They obviously don't know one way or the other for sure. Anyway, I hope it works out for you, I really do. I know how much the side effects can suck


*Willow*


I've never heard that either. The only thing I've been told is that with each relapse you get further away from normal functioning...but I haven't experienced that either and I've had many relapses.
Thank you for supporting me willow, I hope this doesn't come across as self sabotage as that's not what this is. I'm still seeing my cpn and my psychologist and I've got a back up plan. I just can't stand the side effects anymore. For me they outweigh the benefits right now and my cpn said it's important that you get the right balance.
Thanks willow

It's 8am and I'm up and about. My bf who's as work today was getting ready and he looked genuinely concerned and asked if I'm okay when I got up, that's how bad my sleeping was usually I'd be dead to the world till 10/11! I think he gets how much it was affecting me now. I love getting up earlier and actually having motivation to do something! I might go for a coffee before my appointment with my psychologist
Sorry I hope it doesn't come across as digging on meds too much, I know they really help people.
Thanks for this!

Good morning! Went grocery shopping today and got a lot of healthy stuff. Also got some flavored seltzer water since it's zero calories. I'm losing a lot of weight. I'm like half the size I was a year ago, it's really amazing. 6 months from now I should be at my goal. How is everyone?

I think we all have a love hate relationship with meds(or at least I do)---in my case they work well enough to completely block the psychosis but I'm fatter than I need to be now and stupider too----my conclusion about meds is to take as low a dose as achievable but that's what works for me. I think you're in a good position with lots of support so people can tell you when maybe you need a prn. Glad to hear things are going well for you
