Roll Call 176

Did not know that! I apologize. Is your whole school experience online?

As of now, it is, haha. No worries. Yeah it's kind of a complicated, long story, because my school is located in a different country.

Happy Halloween!

Feeling better this morning although feeling brain dead - Probably cuz of the Invega.

Happy Halloween! Wish I could go trick or treating today lol.

Happy Halloween to all! I have just been eating a ton of candy at home.

Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

Doing nothing today.

Waiting around til 5 for the animal crossing event.

Realizing I shouldn't have gotten a second opinion from another psych nurse practitioner. My psychiatrist knows what he's doing. I can go back to him relatively easily. It's not a big deal. I made a mistake.

My friend and I watched Fright Night (the original one), and Hotel Transylvania. Had popcorn, chocolate, soda and played some games too. Showed me some expansions to the card game we play he recently got. Was a nice day.

Did you try out animal crossing today?

Yes I did , trick or treating in there is always fun, I love their holiday themed events

When I go to the pharmacy Monday to pick up some of my meds I'm gonna buy a gift card so I can pay for the Pokemon Sword expansion pass and the 3 month Nintendo online membership

I'm not sure when is a good time to bring up with my doctor that I want to come off all my meds and start over on the abilify injection and only that. My current meds are working. Which is why I think she won't want to change anything. The only reason I want to change is because I hate taking pills. I've been on injections before and they're just easier to deal with. But that would mean tapering off my mood stabilizer, plus 2 antipsychotics, and 2 antidepressants. That's a lot of tapering and would be hard to do. Maybe I should just continue to deal with taking the pills Idk

Maybe I just need to get over my pill phobia, idk

Can't write because my cognition is bad

I currently take 2 antipsychotics, 2 antidepressants, and an anti-anxiety medication. Whenever I've tried to reduce any of them to a significant degree, I've had trouble. I am not saying this will be the case for you, but be careful. I've had the conversation with my doctor about coming off meds, too. I understand your frustration about the meds working, yet there may be a certain part of you that wants to come off of them. I've found no easy way of dealing with this other than being as honest as I can be with my providers.

Sometimes they give me the Synthroid in a spoon of yogurt or applesauce and it goes down smoothly. Have they ever suggested that?

Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. I know. But, that is quite a bit of tapering, Blue. To me, having stopped them all before in2012, I would think it quite unlikely you would pull that off without a recurrence. I went 11 months before my brain exploded. Huge recurrence.

I did great pn Abilifry for 12 years, but never, ever solo. No possible way for me. Maybe telll us what your doosage and schefule is every day. People can look and share what they see. I used to be tid on a couple. Now, i take 2 lithium qam, 2 Wellbutrin qam, 2 sarcosine qam, 1 asa qam, 1 fish oil qam, 1 adderall qam, 1 trilafon q am, and 1 trilafon qpm, 1 lithium pm. So, basically, almost all in the morning. PM is super fast during teeth. Super easy. Maybe look at yours and see what you guys could do. Possibly could move some around to eqse the burden. Hugs.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your ideas. I’ll think about it some more, but now I’m leaning towards just leaving thins as they are. Why rock the boat when things are going well right? I mean I can always work on my pill phobia with my therapist.

Ahh it feels so nice in here with the heat on. So toasty cozy

I’m having cold. Have fever and been sneezing. Should I take paracetamol or just let it be? The fever isn’t high.

I feel stressed out. Having a panic attack. I feel like my apartment isn’t clean enough.

I hope it eases up quickly.

The time change is bothering me. I never even remembered it today. But then, going outside at twilight, I remembered. Ugh.

Yeah it already started getting dark at like 4:30pm today. It’s always a weird adjustment , I hope you feel better ❤️
