I saw a woman standing outside the clinic whom i havent talked to since february. She said she is no longer going to the clinic. I think she isnt because she said she had a seizure from wellbutrin.

I hope you are feeling well.
Yes, that's a good name. Yes, I'm fine thanks.

I've kept a journal for years. I find it very helpful to get my thoughts and feelings out of my head and to help me sort through them. But if writing isn't your thing and you just want a symptom log, you could try bullet journaling. There's loads of layout ideas online for tracking MH symptoms and sleep etc. I've not tried bullet journaling, but I'm considering it.

I'm sorry that the meds aren't helping with the voices. What coping skills can you use that have helped before? I hope that something helps.

I'm having a great evening tonight. It's my first night of unescorted leave at my flat! I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Well, until tomorrow. :/

I got to drive my car home, which is the first proper drive in about 16-17 months, which was great. Then I took the dog to the park around the corner from my flat, I've put some washing on, and now I'm listening to music waiting for my Chinese takeaway to arrive

It's so good to be home! I don't want to go back tomorrow :/ But I'm trying to enjoy the freedom while it lasts.

Hope everyone has a great evening

*Willow*

Hmm, I could use a symptom log. I like simple and easy to sort through. Regular journal keeping for me could be muddy to sift through. I'll definitely look into that.

Im just sitting here pretty lonely.

Googling the dangers of loneliness and its affect on schiz.

Not having anyone to talk to hurts my heart deep down

Just sitting here alone...i can sense all the thoughts coming to the forefront of my head. The paranoia and fear. Im tempted to do something about it. Maybe just let it run its course.

I talk so much on here. But i never talk in group. Why cant i vocalize these feelings to someone. When i talk to someone i just sit there. Not even talking. Idk whats wrong with me. When im alone all my thoughts come at me.

My doctor is going to refer me to a shrink. He also put me on an antidepressant and we'll see how that works. He put it out in the air that he thinks I might have some signs of bipolar but doesn't want to diagnose that I'll have to see the shrink to be sure.

So it was interesting. He didn't really want to put me on an antidepressant and an antipsychotic at the same time. Hopefully the antidepressants do something to help both.
Thanks for this!

Well, my guess is because you're surrounded by other people in person. I can't even do that. As for your friend, there could be a lot of reasons they drop out of friendships. Please don't assume it's because of anything you did.

My newest roommate told me she can't read or write. So I went to the social worker to see if she could get a volunteer to help her start reading at least.

The SW said she lost her reading and writing relatively recently. The early dementia just took away her literacy. I feel so sad for her. The SW said it doesn't work to try to restore those things. It's just awful. If I'm here for too much longer, she will forget me at some point soon.

I am afraid of brain volume reductions and cognitive impariments, or becoming emotionally flat or so.
How come I have never heard of this drug before? Is this the generic name for it? I googled it and it says it's a good drug for negative side effects too because it doesn't completely restrict dopamine.
