You know what would help, seeing cat posts on Facebook. But I told myself I wouldn’t go on Facebook for 3 months. Maybe that was a stupid idea.

Still can't really seem to get started with my job. I don't really know what it is. Apathy, low motivation, whatever. At least I talk to my T tomorrow and hopefully, she can help me figure it out.

I just had a great conversation on the phone with my sister. She made me realize that I have made a lot of progress over the past 5 years:
-I'm much, much more independent
-I lost 100 lbs in a year and kept it off
-I paid off a debt to my college
-My mood is much more more stable
-I have better coping skills
-I have my own nice apartment
-I'm more responsible
-I have some college education (haven't finished my associate's degree, yet though)

You’re doing great! Also during COVID we can’t socialize as much so Facebook is OK imo.

"Mitragynine contained in Kratom has the ability to reduce avolition.[8]

The dopaminergic neurons of the prefrontal cortex are significantly reduced, and is associated with avolition. Omega-3 fatty acids can increase dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex by 40% and could potentially provide therapeutic benefits."

Hmm.. I tried kratom and it sort of worked but every time I took it, I had a massive headache.

I'm gonna try and up my dose of fish oil. I've been taking one a day but I should take 3-4 again.

I might work today. I feel like my avolition was med-related maybe. We'll see.

For me, I like my job but more importantly I like most of my coworkers. They make it fun to go to work.

Couldn't figure out why Amelia wasn't eating. Turns out my Dad had mixed in some other food I had tried a while back that she didn't like. Well she just decided she wouldn't eat. So my Dad had to go through and pick out all the pieces from the food she didn't like and then she ate!

If u take kratom make sure to drink lots and lots and lots of water. It's a diuretic and can make u constipated

You can try sarcosine, it’s been shown to help with motivation right away but also long term in sz.....

I am ready for my three day weekend off of work (Sat. Sun. and Mon.)


The girl that has been out of work due to Covid is coming back on Monday. She has a negative test result and she has been out the 14 days. The General Manager says she sounds like crap but if she wants to come back and kill herself that is up to her, as long as she is negative. She has pneumonia too. I hope that isn't catching.
