Life does that. I'm seeing it for myself with my own stuff. I actually like not spending lots of time on my phone but I have fomo sometimes. Well, a lot.

If I'm this messy I should just say screw it and become an artist.

But I'm scared of the future.

It seems to me like your issue isn’t so much about doing things in and of itself, but being able to concentrate on those things. It seems task completion is the problem here, I wonder what would help you with this ...

I love your list by the way. Roll Call 157

This sounds like adhd to me...have you ever had some cognitive training from a professional? The meds can only do so much.

Methylphenidate helped me focus but dextroamphetamine doesn't really. 2 pills does kind of but methylphenidate is bad for the heart.

I need a better alternative. Maybe I'm .. well i can't say depressed.. something else.. Like aren't I just really excited all the time about everything?

Idk.. also worried that I'm not doing enough.. Enneagram 3... (Look it up) one sec i'll copy and paste..

"Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best: self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to be—role models who inspire others."

But I'll figure it out.. By meditating for 90 seconds then worrying that I'm not doing something important lmao

My therapist has bad ADHD. But Idk if she can help me because she doesn't seem to have it all together herself.. She could give me coping mechanisms..

But maybe adhd is worse because of antipsychotics?

People smoke weed to help their ADHD.. I wish I could do that. I met two people (Crazzzy bad ADHD) and they smoke weed to focus.

Weed makes me dysphoric and anhedonic. Idk if someone with adhd can watch a movie (At home) and finish it. I can't. I never can.

Stimulants don't really help. Without them, I'm too tired to have adhd though.

And I think it's something worse than adhd.. something to do with the antipsychotic.. so i need to lower...

Ok I'll stop writing and calm cuz I'm being annoying.

I’m pretty sure I didn’t even have adhd before antipsychotics....fish oil got rid of that but I know you’re on fish oil already.

I think the fish oil really helped to make me a bit less impulsive.

The Abilify made me so impulsive like a gambler.

I feel like the posts on here should be more and faster so people forget my posts.

My posts out of frustration aren't really meaningful.

But I'm calm now cuz it helps to talk about it.

Edit: Ok my mom made a salad.. I'll be back when this all blows over...

This is one thing I can’t relate to. I’ve never been an anxious person. I wonder what the difference is. Any “paranoid ideation” I’ve had has been in relation to the grandiosity that’s always dominated my psychotic episodes, and I disagree that it’s true paranoia because I don’t seem to ever feel afraid, anxious, at all fearful of anything, etc. I’ve always been oddly functional, too. As ****ed up as I can be mentally, I still get my **** together and can work and all of that. Stable? Hell no. Functional? Hell yes. It’s weird.

Even at my worst through all my crap ups and downs and psychotic I’ve always been able to get up, have a shower, and go to work. The psychiatrist doesn’t want to stick certain labels on me because I’m ‘too high functioning’.

That’s been me too. I had to actually put way too much pressure and force on them to acknowledge that I did in fact have a problem after a certain point just to get treatment. I didn’t care about what the label was just as long as I got treatment, I was just sick of being told I was too oh so very high functioning and too oh so very intelligent to be having an actual problem at the time. What complete ****ing BS.
