I’m excited. I get paid tomorrow. Including my work bonus.

Going to pay off my one credit card with it, put the balance of another credit card on my line of credit, and also put some money on my last credit card.

I put in an application to see if I can increase my line of credit. That way I could maybe put all my debt in one place with a low interest rate so I can pay it off sooner.

If I keep my head down and don’t buy random needless ****, limit my spending - I should have it paid off in no time.

I don't know why I always feel depressed in the morning. I guess it's just that mornings are not fun. Anyway, going to try to do some work today.

Does that mean no here either? We'll miss you. I'm just worried because yesterday you felt very alone and this seems like it will isolate you further. Why do you feel you need to avoid the internet? (Just asking). HUGS!!!!! Kit

I feel restless and thinking about money. I wish I could get more money but I don’t really have the time or anything to do that. Oh well.

Trying to get work done. Was just on a roll for the last two and a half hours speeding through a bunch of work. Need to get more done then I can kind of relax.

It’s Friday! And my exam is on Sunday! Boo. Spend all my non-work and non-sleep time studying.

Mood wise I feel a little more calmer than I have felt lately. I think the abilify is kicking in more. I just hope I don’t go down again.

I went out for food yesterday and didn’t think people were following me so that’s good.

Totally going to join in the text questions with a fake name hahaha.

That sounds awesome! I wish more workplaces had mental health talks or training. So many people struggle with mental health issues and it leaks into all aspects of their lives, including work. Yet at work you're expected to be 100% on 100% of the time. So difficult!

Well, it just ended. They talked about stress mainly. Bit of anxiety and depression. Basically talk to your leader, don’t stress, ask for help. Like nice that they’re talking about it but disappointing it didn’t go too in-depth.

I called out anonymously about how they should talk about other mental illnesses like bipolar and schizophrenia. And also mentioned I wouldn’t feel comfortable talking to my leader about these things for fear of stigma. They didn’t get to my comments though.

But really everyone is stressed about work, and their main advice is to talk to your leader. Not very helpful.

Oh well, maybe they’ll take some of the comments for their next meeting and do better. Too bad they didn’t get an actual psychologist to talk to us.

I'm surprised they didn't talk about addiction.

Me too. Don't know how I'll ever get back to work after the pandemic is over. I envision myself doing nothing. For work that is. I've always been an idealist in this regard.

I just want to take a microdose and an extra vyvanse and do the painting that my mom bought me... I feel zero creativity.

I'm not sure what made me feel so creative at the end of 2019. I think it was lowering the Invega injection but I also think that I went psychotic.

I think if I lower the Invega Trinza injection and keep taking the olanzepine, I'll feel much better. I also want 5mg dextroamphetamine boosters 1-2 times a day (My psychiatrist said that I can do this).

I'm gonna make an appointment with my psychiatrist again. This just really sucks.. My doctor keeps challenging me and thinks he's better than me.

One of his patients is my moms friend. She's been with my doctor for 20 years and apparently was doing well back then cuz she told me that she exercised every day. She has bipolar and now her mind is so deteriorated from cocaine that she's not the same person even since 2 years ago. She probably isn't taking her meds. She just keeps doing cocaine and is a compulsive liar and has zero self esteem. I think if she had better treatment and support, she would have been better off.
