I do think maybe getting off the Abilify would be good though. Maybe that’s the issue.

I'm not a fan of summer but I do like sunshine. It does help mood especially with the vitamin D

40 degrees F here but it gets to 20 degrees F at night so no rain just snow still. I'm in a valley in middle of the Rocky Mountains..

It gets hot in the summer though sometimes at 80-90 degrees F.

Don't worry too much about it right now. Try to distract.

I would like a little bit of Abilify again tbh... I liked it.

Possible trigger:

I kind of want to die

I think it may be from PMS. I get really severe PMS. Like very very bad mood problems during it.

Is coconut water good? I bought 2 cans of it. Haven’t tried it before. Or if I did it was a long time ago and I don’t remember what it was like.

Yes very good! Healthy.. There's cans that I buy sometimes called "Buddha" or something and it has aloe vera pulp in it =]

Went out shopping but I forgot my wallet. My mom covered for me and I got a few things because it feels good. Not too much though. A book, and one of those pore cleaner things. Exciting!

I was noticeably talkative and happy. I feel great. Manic energy. Feeling less stress now I finished my exam.

Hopefully I can be focused tomorrow for work. Got lots to do.

I’m not a fan of it, but it’s really good for you. Full of electrolytes. Good for hydration.

I liked the article.

I guess patterns are patterns. I don't necessarily blame my impulsivity on Abilify. The Abilify has an extremely positive effect on my mood. So that's worth keeping.

I just have to find other ways to deal with the impulsive stuff. I have been doing a reasonable job lately. I haven't dropped out of grad school lately. Actually I haven't done that for like 5-6 months. And I haven't thrown out my meds in a long time, probably 9-10 months. So those are both good things. Means I'm making progress.

I’m dreading having a shower. Gross but it’s been a week. Someone will notice if I don’t take a shower. Ugh. I should try to enjoy it. Just quick in and out I can do it.

Would mindfulness help? I mean just like taking it one step at a time and feeling the water. I don't know, probably sounds weird but mindfulness has helped me with things like that. Things that are habitual such as showering and washing dishes can be improved with a little mindfulness. In my opinion. Paying attention to thoughts and feelings, letting them go and returning to the action at hand.

Yeah you sound like my psych lol. We talked about this before and said to just focus on small things. It’s just hard to put into practice.

I angrily wrote in my journal then wrote out the assignment my therapist wanted me to do. My Positive qualities and achievements

I can’t wait to sleep and wake up with a fresh brain

Blue_Bird · Feb 28, 2021 at 10:01 PM

I think I’ve like negatively associated my bedroom with a bad mood. So like when I’m in here, which is like all the time, I’m in a bad mood. Because I spent most of the past year in here. I need to start spending more time out of my room in the living room and other places and breaking that negative association. I think because I spent a lot of the past year struggling with a depressive episode.

cogladaid · Feb 28, 2021 at 10:15 PM

I focused on the positive things like the warm water and the nice smells and had a shower. Nice and clean.

I also tried out my little pore cleaner blackhead remover thing. I might have bruising on my nose now but I feel my pores are cleaner. I can see myself being obsessed with cleaning my pores now. I should get one of those scrub pore cleaner things too.

cogladaid · Feb 28, 2021 at 10:55 PM

Not looking forward to work tomorrow. So much to do. Complicated stuff. I have to focus on it.

Looking forward to talking to my doctor. Maybe I can convince him to do something I can’t keep like this. I need a refill for Abilify for whatever higher dose we’re doing.

I should try to sleep now.

Desoxyn · Feb 28, 2021 at 11:00 PM

I'm going to apply for a job tomorrow at a restaurant to wash dishes - Make extra money and at least break this cycle of winter-quarantine purgatory.
