I was posting yesterday or the other day about how I think I could be on fewer meds and lower dosages. I honestly don't think so anymore. Like maybe I could get off of Xanax but even that is pushing it I think.

I keep checking my email compulsively like there's going to be something new on there. Not the case! I should know better than to look at email constantly. Oh well.

I thought about doing something called "The Great Organization" which could last a few months - Then the feeling went away.
I Googled "How to be motivated" and clicked on the first link (Cuz Google must have my best interests in mind right? Is Google evil? - I've Googled that too.. so..) and this is interesting to know; "Negative and positive motivations can both be effective in different circumstances. However, it’s much easier to do something because you actually want to, rather than because you want to avoid a particular outcome if you don’t do it. If you don’t have a positive plan of action, using negative motivation can make you feel helpless and may even reduce your motivation." Very powerful for me to know! |

I will call it, "The Great Project". "The Great Happening" happened when I was 20 (Trip)..
It starts tomorrow... Then hopefully I'll be a normal person when I move to BC |

My exam is today in a few hours. Nervous. Trying not to let psychotic thinking in or distract me. Need to cram these last couple hours.

I know it's kind of last-minute, but can you try some deep breathing exercises. Like I practice 5 min in the morning and 5 min at night. It helps calm me down. I just do like a 4-second count for the in breath in my head, and then a 4-second count out for the out breath. You can lengthen the out breath, too. Anyway, that's something that has helped me in the past. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” |

Deep breathing is so hard for me. 15 years and I still haven’t mastered them whatsoever. I use distraction as my main method.

I'll be honest, last night I was feeling like my meds were poison and didn't take my Latuda. So my sleep was a little off. But I recognize my doctor has my best interest at heart and isn't trying to steal my thoughts so I took my medication this morning.
So exam today, then work tomorrow, and I talk to my doctor tomorrow afternoon. I wish my doctor would change up my meds more to try to help me get stable again. I don't really want to wait for the psychiatrist it could be weeks and I'm struggling. I have another course I have to finish up and I have work to do. If I didn't have deadlines I wouldn't worry and just wait it out but my focus is screwing with my ability to get things done and it's causing me more stress. I just am getting frustrated with everything. |

I just keep obsessively thinking about my e-mail and work and notifications on apps I'm having trouble focusing on studying. Ugh I hate it.

Can you ask the doctor to raise the antipsychotic you take? I'm not sure which you're taking. That's something that usually helps me in the short-term. Raising meds. Also talking to the doctor about your concerns and needs to get stable because you have a lot of stuff to do with work and school and everything - could help. Also maybe tell the doctor you're not going to be able to get in with the psychiatrist for weeks, so is there anything he/she can do to help in the short-term. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

I'll talk to him again tomorrow about adjusting my meds more because it's not really working what I'm on right now. |

I also talk to my psychologist on Wednesday. That'll be a fun conversation for sure... Last I talked to her I was really hyper and ecstatic about everything.

I'm always worried someone I know will find me here. I had a tumblr years ago that was found by my family. I'm more transparent with my family now, but I still don't tell them every single thought that I post about on here.

I feel jazzed and unfocused. FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS. Only a couple more hours until my exam. PANIC. I need to eat something and calm down. Damn manic energy doesn't want to do it, my mind wants to do everything except study.
Gotta get my ********ting skills activated and remember ethical ideas. I can do it because I'm amazing. As long as I pass I'm happy. As long as I don't go into manic conspiracy theories I should be fine. |

80mg Latuda, and 10mg Abilify. But it's not really helping. I'm not as UP as I was last week, but I'm still up and having psychotic thoughts. |
