I wish I could do that. I have a hard time opening up in real life. I don't socialize well. My parents keep telling me, how are you going to meet a husband? You never go out....

I don’t really open up. I make them open up to me first. Most people like to talk about themselves and like to be taken care of, so I focus on listening to their story while giving them some good experiences. “What kind of food do you like? Have you tried this restaurant?”, “How was your day at work? Ah sorry it was stressful, hey let’s go to the Karaoke that’ll probably cheer you up a bit”, “Oh you want to go shopping? Let me help picking up clothes for you”, “You feel overwhelmed? I know this swimming pool that barely has people in it and it has a good view, we can talk there while relaxing at the same time”. I do things like that (won’t do things that I personally don’t like though, so I suggest things that I know I would enjoy as well). Some people say they hate small talks but I think small talks is like a door for the real conversation. We don’t come up to people we just meet and ask them about their childhood traumas or political views for example. It’s just not realistic. Once I become friends with people for a while though, when I open up it’s just natural.

Do y'all think I should see my doctor tomorrow.

I've been on the Fanapt for 9 days which isn't near enough time for the med to work, but I'm just so miserable and I'm worried I'll do something to hurt myself.

If it makes you want to hurt yourself then yes. Sorry it makes you feel like that

Sometimes long enough to work is longer than the amount of time you need to know it won’t work.

When I was on seroquel I almost passed out on day two.....it was a no go.....this sounds like a similar situation.

Intuition is one of the most mysterious things about our humanity. Artists use their intuition every time they create because in one sense of the word it's emotional and wise in a prophetic, divine way.

In another sense, there is rational intuition like our knowledge of time and space. We can't see time or space, but we just are certain that it exists. We know it not empirically, looking outwards with our peepers, but rationally, with our mind in an automatic sense as if its prewired into our thought to assume this is the case.

If I understand your words right, I agree with the first part. The second part though, I don’t think it’s prewired but it’s based on our experiences.

falcon09 · Jun 04, 2020 at 06:16 PM

Thanks for the advice guys.

You all agree and my therapist also said to call so I will.

Angelique67 · Jun 04, 2020 at 06:31 PM

Happy Birthday, Blue_Bird!!! I hope you'll have a wonderful year!

Hume and the empiricists would agree with you, but Kant would disagree.

Job 30 26 · Jun 04, 2020 at 06:40 PM

I thought i saw a picture of my ex girlfriend and my heart just dropped. It looked exactly like her, exactly. Well, it's good that I still have some emotions after all.

Angelique67 · Jun 04, 2020 at 06:52 PM

They told me this morning that we're back on lockdown (I think we were off it for maybe a few days but I have no idea.) So far, for two more weeks because a staff member tested positive for covid.

I'll be lucky if I ever get to vape again. Or breathe fresh air, or flowers.

Angelique67 · Jun 04, 2020 at 06:54 PM

My tv is still not working. 3 months of lockdown.

If this may become a philosophy thread, I would say I agree with Kant here. Just because I don't think time and space are empirical. We don't "know" about time and space because of experience. They are conditions of possibiltiy (transcendental, might we say?)

Anyway, wanted to say happy birthday to Blue_Bird as well!

Blue_Bird · Jun 04, 2020 at 08:12 PM

Thanks for the happy birthdays everyone! I had a decent day. My sister got me McDonalds, a card and a $50 Xbox gift card. I spent most of the day watching Criminal Minds.

I’m feeling kind of low though, it has nothing to do with my birthday, that was good. It’s just stress and wanting an escape from it.

Blue_Bird · Jun 04, 2020 at 08:23 PM

I just have to meditate, pray, and practice mindfulness as much as possible and I’ll be okay.

falcon09 · Jun 04, 2020 at 08:34 PM

took my meds, might stay up all night and call my doc at 8am when his office opens.

Blue_Bird · Jun 04, 2020 at 08:56 PM

I haven’t heard from my care manager in forever. Idk what’s up with that. It has to have been at least like a month and a half or 2 by now since we last talked. She used to check in with me regularly. It would be helpful now since

Possible trigger:

Ive been having suicidal thoughts

Desoxyn · Jun 04, 2020 at 09:04 PM

I lied in bed for 3-4 hours. Finally I got up. Couldn't focus. Thought about taking an extra vyvanse. I listened to this song

YouTube

I cry

And now I can focus a little
