I felt the same exact way, same pattern of escalation, then paranoia and weird beliefs, barely any sleep for a week, agitation/irritability, restlessness/exercising for hours at a time (not necessarily bad I guess but I don't typically exercise like that. I went from not going to the gym in 6 months to that within a couple days) , feeling disconnected , thinking I'm dead etc.

I can't control it all but I can make some changes

you got this Blue_Bird.

The lady was very friendly, she told me she use to babysit my boss's son. My response was so cold, all I said, was, "yeah I know" but I didn't even smile when I said it. I just have no enthusiasm or interest. This flat affect or anhedonia is really starting to show as the years pass. Nothing excites me except for a few hours each weekend where I drink beer and write, and that's doesn't make me happy, it just makes life more interesting.

I hope it improves.

Almost time for bed. I’m not overly tired but I sleep the best before midnight so I try to get in bed by 10.
I have nothing going on tomorrow except work. Boo. I do have packages coming in though so that’ll be the highlight of the day.
Wish someone would secretly gift me about 30k. That’s really not too much to ask

Hey everyone. How are things going?

I'm doing okay. Went to band and we didn't do anything today. Holiday break is starting next week. Can't wait for my partner to come up tomorrow night.

Then Skypeing another partner tomorrow evening. Gonna be a good week I think.

What's everyone up to?

Blue_Bird · Dec 18, 2018, 10:11 AM

I finally slept!

Morning! Happy Tuesday.
My day started out okay. Got a package at 6:30 this morning! It was the Christmas bag the elf will bring our stuff in.
Then it kind of went downhill. My daughter got sick and I had to pick her up. She started

on the ride home. I vomited all over my bathroom floor so I had to wash the floor first thing in the morning.
I finished working already. Ran out to the natural food store and got my daughter some stuff for nausea. Now she’s sleeping and I’m sitting on my ***.
I haven’t been able to eat since Sunday. I’m just not hungry. I made myself dinner last night and left it. I had a protein shake this morning to get something in.

Blue_Bird · Dec 18, 2018, 10:44 AM

I've got an appointment with a nutritionist later today. Also have a package coming with a book I won

Just enjoying winter break!

Not doing much. Just working. Got the results of our worker's comp audit. Getting a refund! Yeah! At least we don't owe them money. It looks like it will be a slow day so I'm just catching up on PC. Religious study tonight. Then to bed early hopefully! Kit.

Desoxyn · Dec 18, 2018, 11:51 AM

I slept 12 hours, stayed up for 2, slept 10 hours, stayed up for 3, then slept 12 hours..

I see my therapist in half an hour. Feeling kinda better so at least I'll have some positive things to say..

Desoxyn · Dec 18, 2018, 11:53 AM

I believe psychedelics are the only reason I'm not suicidal. They have really influenced my decisions in life and have been a huge influence on me.

Blue_Bird · Dec 18, 2018, 12:42 PM

The first issue of my free year long subscription that came with something I ordered from Walmart awhile back to Better Homes and Gardens magazine came today

Plus the advance readers copy of the book I won on Goodreads came. It looks so good. One part of the description says "Dexter meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith In this wildly compulsive debut thriller.....". I was a huge fan of the show dexter, so I'm really excited to read something like this.

Roll Call 141!

I made pasta Fagioli, bread, and banana bread. The soup is in the crockpot, the bread is rising, and the banana bread is in the oven. Can’t wait until it’s done. I really want a slice. I may make a cranberry pie if I have enough butter.
Nervous energy at its finest!
Oh and I also single handedly got a *****in’

burning. My house it’s sitting at 73. Aaaahhhh.

Desoxyn · Dec 18, 2018, 01:11 PM

Talked to my therapist..

She says to resist sleeping and try to do things even though I don't feel like it and then maybe I'll feel better.

So basically resisting negative symptoms. I'm going for coffee in the afternoon with a bunch of people that I don't even know... It's going to be hard..

ofthevalley · Dec 18, 2018, 01:18 PM

More deliveries! My third of the day lol.
My elf bag is ready!
Jammies for all of us, matching hats for the dogs, new stockings for all of us, and hot chocolate kits with cookies for the kids, and hot chocolate kit with biscotti for me and husband.
Omg...I’m so excited

I sympathize, going to coffee with a bunch of people that you don't even know sounds nightmarish to me. I hope it goes well though and that you end up having a good time. A lot of times the things I don't want to do, I end up having fun anyway. Kit
