Roll Call 170

I somehow didn't wake up till 12pm today...

Maybe you needed th rest?

Maybe, I was really tired yesterday for some reason. I was even dreaming last night about monster energy drinks cause I was tired in my dream too

I considered joining the military when I was younger but my heart wasn’t in it I was interested in other things. Now with my mental health I couldn’t do it anyway lol.

Maybe I wore myself out from my 2 hour panic attack

Wow that’s so long....sorry that happened....

I have next to zero physical skills and don’t take well to orders so it was never for me....

Yeah and now hearing more about the cultural and bad things it’s like eeeek good thing I didn’t go into it.

I wanted to be a dentist and stuff when I was younger but my chemistry isn’t that good.

Exactly...

I think being a dentist would be tough because everyone is basically scared of you...

Apparently Detroit style pizza is having a moment.....it’s ok...I was never a huge fan but then I’m not a fan of Chicago style either....

Now if I could go back I would consider being an orthodontist. Big money there. Or be big in finance.

But I’m happy now with my path to get a math degree.

Newtus, I have no idea what to call this illness that you and I share, schizoaffective, bp 1 with psyhcosis, whatever. Dunno, but I have very similar symptoms and course to what you describe.

Any tips for dealing with antipsychotic sleepiness?

im sleeping 12+ hours a night on this clozapine and even when im awake im very tired

I don't know how to get that rush of energy without lots of caffeine, now that I'm drinking decaf...sucks.. but also kind of worth it cause it will ease my panic attacks. However, I've got to find new ways to get that energy back

Yerba mate is a decent alternative that works sometimes.

Both my parents were the first to college in their families. My dad was dirt-poor oil field trash from West Texas. But he was smart and put himself through college and UT med school. Both he and my mom were voracious readers and we all read a ton. And although I ultimately I was lucky to go to some fantastic schools because of them, dad taught me early that the same books people at Yale read are available in almost any library. Anyone can be educated, all you have to do is read. You don't have to go to Stanford. By far, the two most talented surgeons I ever had the honor of operating with were graduates of the University of Mississipi and the Univerity of Tennessee. They were in their own leagues compared to anyone at Harvard or Vanderbilt. So...

Where I went to undergrad, we were required to take music and art history and philosophy and Greek and English lit, no matter if you were an engineer or what. Now, most of the other Ivies have that same requirement. I think it is a good idea, so folks can be introduced to a broad piece of our cultural heritge.

Huge brain fog this morning

Omg me too. But in high school I could dance and breakdance. Idk I play drums that’s pretty darn physical. And also Having to let all 4 limbs do it’s own thing. Me and orders

I took a nap and woke up to it sprinkling outside. I just ate a bomb pop. You know those red, white, and blue rocket looking ice pops. I need to switch to ice pops and let go of the ice cream.

I'm gonna read that book today "Man's search for meaning".

What's your thoughts on it @ The people who were recommending/reading it?

My sister is dropping off some coffee ice cream along with some more of the stuff I ordered.

The rest of my stuff will be delivered tomorrow

The camelbak water bottle, pair of shorts, crocheting kit, and the Animal Crossing: New Horizons companion guide

ok im feeling a little more awake
