I did, when I was going to the one at the clinic. I miss him. I've been in captivity for 6 or more months.

That's been a problem for a while now with my phones. It's some flaw in the digitizer I think. On the phone in my hand, it is very bad, but I do a couple of soft reset and it calms down. I'm too fond of this phone to try to get it replaced now.

I don't know if I'm sleepy yet. Hmm.

The doctor also recommended a couple CBT workbooks online dealing with depression and psychosis so I was having a look at them.

Anyone have good luck with those kind of things?

I see him once a week

But I do because he doesn't push medication anymore. I hate psychiatry and I would stop seeing him if he tried to convince me to take APs. I stopped seeing him for many months after he tried to push an old AP. He knows, I guess that's why he doesn't push meds anymore, but he wants to have me under control, that's why he sees me once a week. I guess he considers me unstable lol

It tends to make prolactine high so it is not approved in the US. It blocks D3 very specifically with a little D2 blockade but without blocking any other receptor like the rest do.

I haven't graduated yet, but I have never socialized with my classmates....

We don't have clubs at college, but you can pay to do physical activities like football classes. I can't afford them and I don't like any, but I usually join an English chat group, it is free, there are other cultural and physical activities but depending on how much they cost I will be able to afford them or not. Any person from all the population can join these activities, they are municipal activities.

Now I am thinking I guess the only club it is the communist one lol they do meetings and that kind of things

No. But absence of music can be calming.

Cbt is fantastic.....I think it's harder to learn from a book though than a person.

I took Amisulpride for a while... it turned me into a depressed zombie. Worst experience I've ever had on an AP but as always, YMMV.

This might seem like a silly cause, but I had apps open because my palm was touching the edge of the screen on my Galaxy A5. Look and see if it's the apps in the corner of the screen opening...

Am I the only one that gets kind of happy when a TV show gets cancelled or ends? I can't seem to bring myself to stop watching so much TV so when it's done its like 'finally I can stop watching this'.

There are a couple exceptions though. Some I would be heartbroken to have end or cancelled but they are very few and far between.

Good morning. Having a great day.
Working 1/2 day today. Hopefully my boss doesn't have anything crazy for me to do. I beat Word again yesterday so I was pretty proud of myself.
What's everyone up to today?
I hope you all have a great day!

It is a very selective dopamine antagonist, while other APs bind serotonin and histamine receptors too. I guess this is why it can cause depression so easily and it lacks of antidepressants proprieties at high dose, but at really low dose it blocks auto receptors first (before blocking postsynaptic receptors) which are the ones that regulate how my dopamine is released by the neuron so it enhance dopamine neurotransmission. That's why a low doses it is used for dysthimia and negative symptoms, while at higher dosage it works like a very selective AP.

So. I have to make a very difficult decision. I can't afford veterinary for my cats which they need, especially one of them. I can barely afford the $40 I'm left with after all bills are paid to live on let alone take care of them. I have decided to give them to a no kill shelter. they do background checks on anyone adopting an animal. They would get the care they need and get placed with a good family. It literally rips my heart out to even think about doing but it's only fair to them. I want them to have a good life somewhere. I will miss than more than anything, I haven't even done it yet and I'm sitting here crying at the library.

I can't even imagine how hard it must be to come to a decision like that.

Are you sure there is no way you can't cut back in other areas to be able to afford to look after the cats? If it comes down to it though, as you say at least you are doing the right thing for them.
