If you've heard of the TV show, "Breaking Bad", then you know.

I've used 17 different stimulants before trying the 18th so it comes as no surprise to me. It's just another grain of sand on the beach. I just tried it because a temporary psychiatrist lowered my stimulant medication because she was afraid of giving me psychosis and I couldn't tolerate the tiredness and lack of focus.

Even though I get psychosis, stimulants never seemed to give me psychosis. Not even once. In fact, they seemed to make it better. Except I get anhedonia and blunt emotions. I just take it because I have some sort of narcolepsy. Or it's because of the antipsychotics which is why I was given Ritalin. But also because of bad ADHD symptoms when I was a kid.

This time the 18th gives me strong psychosis when I stop taking it.

Anyways, on the work topic everyone.. I enjoy my job it keeps me busy and it's not complicated at all working at a grocery store because it's just finding food, labels, etc and I'm fairly social. Sometimes I like to be a cynical misanthrope when I'm on stimulants and stimulant medication so I have to fake smile to everyone and wouldn't care if they all died lol

But when I was doing multiple of all the commonly known worst drugs there is 2-3 weeks ago and then stopped taking them a week ago, I was feeling such mental damage but I kept pushing forward.

I kept pushing forward because I can't go back to the psychiatric hospital again. I still need to function properly in society even though I slipped up again and it seems to be working. I'm able to just let the wind blow past me and say well what the hell, it can't get any worse than this unless I get delirious psychosis and don't remember what I've done, damaging society.

I have work again tomorrow so.. Idk they seem to be giving me a lot of work days for a part time job. Oh well.

I already made like 350 dollars for part time work! I have to pay my mom back because of the drugs I spent the rent on though. I was impulsive. But I want to buy those new unbreakable sunglasses. I want to eventually get a car although my dad bought me and my sister a new jeep.

On the weekend I'm going camping and there will be a future shop there so I'm going to buy some Xbox games

*Sleeps*

Anyone notice my writing pattern with and without psychosis.. I seem to type in lines when I don't know what is real. And with paragraphs when I know what is real. But this right now it seems fine.
It's more readable when you're not on psychosis, and for someone who is barely speaking English like me, I find it's hard to understand your sentences when you're having psychosis. Glad that you enjoy working and that it helps you somehow

Idk when I had originally told him about my psychosis he was all I wish I could have been there for you but I don't think he can understand if he's never even been depressed. He said something about being in your best form for a relationship like people who are depressed shouldn't be in relationships or some such nonsense. Sometimes it amazes me you think you know someone but a lot of times we fill in with how we think when we don't know. I explained to him that he regularly vents to me when he's having issues at work....and here I try to vent and get shut down.....
Sadly mental illness is not something people can understand unless they experience it themselves. People can complain and vent about work, school, family, friends, government, and it's fine. But when we vent about our illness, most of time we'd get shut down. I'm sorry he doesn't get your depression SP

I can't believe my son has a girlfriend. I can't possibly be old enough for this.
This opens a whole new chapter. Now I have to worry about sex and all that.
My baby boy is growing up . I could cry if I still had that ability damn meds.

My doctor said it doesn't work right unless you take them at intervals 3 times a day.

Maybe she didn't make eye contact because of shy and nervous? Yay for no awkwardness, I'm not good with small talk too

Well it sounds like you're usually taking all three at once----maybe try taking the 3 at various points in the day 10 am 4pm 10pm?

I'm not even depressed anymore, I'm fine---I just needed to refocus on what I will be doing in the future and that what I'm currently doing won't last forever. I have like the shortest depressions...super lucky that way...cbt skills help a lot.

Yes, a week is pretty short time for depression. Mine lasts at least for two weeks, most of time more

I'm feeling chatty and energetic tonight. So the bf got his re-evaluation result yesterday. They changed his Dysthymia into Bipolar II. He has a very severe social anxiety so no one ever witnessed his hypomanic moments, and he never told his psychiatrist about his hyper energy due to anxiety during the evaluation and also was on depressive episode.. and then I happened and witnessed them all. I'm glad I somehow helped him to get a correct diagnosis and made him knows himself better. Finally I can do something right, though I still need to learn about this thing called a healthy relationship as my previous ones were always abusive.

My boss emailed me to work on Monday. Sorry dude...not going to happen. I told him I'd be out of town. It's a day to be with my husband and kids.
He hasn't had me work for 3 days this week and suddenly Monday is an emergency? He expects way too much.

My wife had her eyeball injected with a needle this morning. The worst part was the little metal thing holding her eyelid open - from every torture scene ever. Eek!

I hope everyone will have a nice weekend.

Omg torture is right!
My grandmother has macular degeneration and gets shots in her eyes. She says they don't hurt but I don't know how a needle in the eye doesn't hurt.

I miss my ex so much. Im not over him which is why im not committing to this new guy yet. He told me its whenever im ready. But idk when ill be fully ready. But i wont be seeing my ex prob for a year and a half or ever again. I dont want to just wait for him to get out of the group home. Why am i still so loyal to him when he doesnt care about me and doesnt even love me like i did him? Im confused.

This is really hard for me.

What kind of camera does everyone have?
I need a new camera. I had a nice Nikon but I lost it when I was psychotic . I am currently using a 14 year old camera and I'm desperate for something new. Any suggestions that won't put me in too much debt?
