But Zyprexa is one of the most reliable AP's.


Yes Zyprexa is a very good ap. Too bad it causes so much weight gain. I couldn’t stay on it anymore. I’m really liking latuda but it doesn’t work for everyone I guess.

Do you ever think people post over exaggerated stories on Facebook? I’m scrolling through my feed rolling my eyes.

The cost of attending ASU this year would be around 10k. And im only get under half that for the whole year.

I cant afford it.

Im gonna just have to go and get a workforce degree. Its not what i want but at this point its about finances.

I think i need to think about my future when getting into anymore big financial situations. Its unlikely i would be able to pay off that kind of stuff. Thats why i use grants. I was offered a 5k loan but i couldnt pay that off and even that with that extra 5 it wouldnt cover tuition fully with books. I dont really want a loan if i dont have a job right now.

I just been in school for forever...
I wish i was good at it but i struggle with it badly. But i know i need some kind of degree if i want a decent job. Especially one where i can take it easy on if i am struggling with my health.

I find your English is very good. I agree with SP, the full English immersion in the USA will definitely help solidify your skills. Just three months stays over 6 months in the US gave my wife an even greater foundation in her English.

Good evening/afternoon everyone. How are things going today? Damn y'all talk a lot. I had to read like 15 pages of posts since last night.

I'm good. Watched tech videos, drank coffee, then went to the in laws for some dinner and got a ladder to deal with a problem with a light fixture in our apartment. Otherwise nothing major going on...
Thanks for this!

I woke up after like 2 hours sleep, I fell asleep without taking my meds. Wasn’t feeling well today due to period. My symptoms get worse during this time. I wonder what’s the science behind this #womenissue #midnightrambling

One of the reasons I deleted my account few years ago. I love what you guys share there now though. You guys are fun to follow. I think Facebook can be a good thing we just gotta be picky about who we’re friends with.

I watch different videos each day, I cannot do routinity. One of the reasons I cannot do workout is because there are many repetitions in it. Repetition gets me anxious. Even things like seeing the same motive or image being close to each other (for example a bunch of circles of a pile of pipes) gets me anxious. Idk why and what this called.

Almost all of my friends are people I know online. I’m much more social online than I am in real life. I only have a couple of real life people. Makes it easier that way. I can delete all I want without any backlash lol.

So, I’ve been drinking with my parents reasonably regularly with meals since I’ve been down. Been nice to enjoy drinks but it’ll be interesting to see how tempted I’ll be at home. Need to limit it to once a week.

I agree with junkDNA...I had met with the endocrinologist over the summer and blood tests revealed my hormone levels were low than they should have been. After she put me on patches instead of pills and it did wonders to how I felt. I think it played a big role in the adjustments that happened in the last 6-8 months towards my recovery.

Well it’s after 5 and I’ve done nothing but laundry, dishes, and lunches. Guess I won’t be getting much done. It’s almost time for take out and Stranger Things. We are on the last 2 episodes. Then we have to wait until 2019 for it to come back out.

Valley, watch Dark on Netflix next. It makes Stranger things seem like Sesame Street.

Would that be an adult show for me and the husband or can the kids watch it?
We are running out of things to watch so I appreciate the recommendation.

My dinner is on the way. Can’t wait to eat. I’m starving. I got a ham and cheese grinder with the works and extra onions. Yum.
