We had a vape break! I'm so glad!!! And it wasn't hardly cold out at all.

Poor Calamity Jane hurt her leg or foot and is still in a wheelchair. This happened the last time she was here too, after getting a discharge date. I suspect that subconsciously she doesn't want to go home. I'd probably feel the same way if I got as much love here as she. I hope whatever got injured is healing and not hurting because I like her a lot.

So, I filled my tank. I think I will try to take off my nail polish around three, or 3:15. I get so paranoid thinking someone will complain about the smell and turn me in. I still can't believe I'm here.

Haven't heard from my friend today yet. I have thrush in my mouth because of not rinsing my mouth after I use the Advair. I hope it will clear up on its own.

Hope everyone is feeling ok and having a tolerable day.

I can relate. I’m prone to getting thrush when I use my steroid inhaler even using a spacer and rinsing and brushing my teeth after. It’s annoying. One of the reasons I only use it when I have flare ups.

I hope it goes soon but there are meds that can help get rid of it if not.

I'm sorry to hear you get it too. Yes, I'm worrying about whether it's causing my awful sinus congestion. (The congestion might also be from getting too much secondhand smoke when I'm out with my vape.) I hope it clears up soon. And if not, I hope they have the stuff to clear it up here. Just had a deja Vu of posting!

This article is totally wild-----brain cells can exchange RNA using virus like particles, which interestingly the arc protein has been implicated in making the virus like particle but also in some rare cases of schizophrenia, there is a difference in methylation.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27464451

This has to do with NMDA signaling and cognitive issues etc-----very cool.

I told my dad about me planning to move out. He said i could stop paying rent so i could save up. I feel bad moving away. That and he insinuated i was gonna stop going to school too. Plus saying how when he moved out at 17 it was for his career not to “shack up” with someone.

In reality, i dont have enough to be on my own. Since apartments require 2-3 times the income. Ive asked a few people or more over the years to room with me. Theyve all said no or they dont have enough to. Moving in with the bf is just another option and id rather do it with him than some rando on craigslist. This would be my second or third serious attempt at trying to move out. And its not gonna happen immediately.

I feel awful kindve but i dont want to be 30 still living with my parents. I guess i also just have dreams of also starting a family and career and moving out before its too late. Plus id like to do some traveling and have some kind of fun without my parents before its too late and im strapped down with a kid.

Am I dreaming too big?

Sometimes i feel like my family makes me feel bad for what i do. Maybe because the choices in my early twenties were due to psychosis. Idk. But i only have maybe a few good memories of doing something really really fun from the past 10 years. I can only think of some that i can count on one hand. Which is sad to me.

I just want to make memories. I feel like all of my 20s were spent suffering with schiz and anxiety and severe depression and building up what i lost.

I wanna live now

I calculated the money that I have from working. 3k.

I'm going to get my drivers license and buy a car. Idk what car to buy though. My dad said he would buy my sister a car when she turns 16 this year.

My dad did to me, "You're the only one that has never asked me for anything ever. Everyone else asks me for things".

I wouldn't straight out ask him for a car like my brother and sister but maybe I can buy a good car with the 3k and ask him to pay for the rest.

I'm going to look up cars to buy now. Cars have never really been an interest of mine.

When I was 16 I didn't buy a car. I bought a quad bike for 4K.
Thanks for this!

All you can do is set goals and take the steps needed to achieve them slowly over time.....having enough money will be a limiting factor though.

No smoke break. I hope I don't run out of Kleenex. This congestion is just torturing me today. Came on without warning and I can't get rid of it.
