I'm gonna attempt to go 7 days without caffeine. That's just a start. But I figured I'd start my goal off small and go from there.

And I'm also going to try to make it a week taking both my morning and night meds every day. I've been missing my morning doses every so often and that's not good.

My sister is stopping by this weekend. She's dropping off some Baileys and a half gallon of French vanilla ice cream so I can make my Bailey's shamrock shakes this month!

Plus we're supposed to go out to lunch and or get our nails done sometime soon also.

and I'm making cookies to give her for her birthday. I love my sister. I'm lucky to have her in my life.

Made tacos for dinner. Yummy. Homemade tortillas, homemade black bean salsa, homemade lime crema, and Cajun turkey breast. So good.

My mom is cooking up pork to make tamales tomorrow.

She’s also on a smoothie kick too. I guess she just wants us to be more healthy. And smoothies are great.

I feel a little calmer now this evening. I was super excited to make tacos though. ******* love tacos.

I so wish there were a way not to make stupid decisions. I decided recently to see another pdoc because I wasn't pleased with my regular pdoc. However, the one I saw suggested that I make med changes that I'm not comfortable making. Anyway, I feel stupid for making that decision. I beat myself up a lot, I guess. At least I think I know what to do now.

Also, this year has been so hard and I feel like there's no compassion for anyone who is going through stuff with mental health. Like there's no forgiveness almost.

Yeah lots of people say ‘oh I’m there for you’ but really everyone has their own stuff going on and no one is really able to deal with everything. You’re just really expected to ‘suck it up’.

We’re always here for you!

I’m lucky I have people around me but even they don’t really understand. My mom and sister sometimes are cautious around me and handle me with kids gloves. Or just ignore it.

I'm gonna ask my doctor to take me off all the meds I'm on. The zoloft, welbutrin, trileptal, trilafon, thorazine, topamax and put me on the abilify injection. I can't do the meds anymore. I just choked on a pill. I was able to cough it back up but I'm done.

I told some of my RL friends that I’ve been manic. They say they were concerned about me and aren’t annoyed with me being so chatty. We chatted a bit today about things. I didn’t go into great detail just that I’ve been struggling but I’m on new meds now.

I was sitting at a restaurant with my mom and sister last month. I was saying that "I thought I was an adult at 18 and could do what I want" (As a joke) and my mom turned to my sister (She's 18) and said "Like someone over here" - My sister said "I'm way more responsible than you were" and I said "Yeah you've seen me so ****ed up that you didn't want to be like me" -

They both reassured me and made me realize that my sister is planning to be a psychiatric nurse because of what I went through - And I was like wow..

So yeah they've been living with me all through this whole thing and they understand - Are very good to talk to (Especially my sister). I remember saying to her that she'd be "very good at being a psychiatric nurse" after talking to me.

Sorry that happened. Hope they can help you out.

I feel less stress about seeing the psychiatrist now that I’m on lithium. Maybe the psychiatrist will say something else idk but I don’t feel so anxious about it waiting to talk to them.

Another day of olanzepine kicking in and saving me from dissociation.

I was interested in that it's used as a "Trip killer" when people are having a bad trip.

For me I have HPPD - So my bad trip.. Lasts forever.. in a way

Anyway, I want to feel more depressed for a moment to feel more emotions and know what exactly to do - Instead of just.. Feeling everything out in terms of hobbies and interests. What is the use of depression? Does it have benefits? I felt way more relaxed when I was moderately-severely depressed.

Now it's stepping into the insanity of the world where my brain is on fire.

I want to be in a different place. I did a lot today - I did what I could.. But I feel like I'm in hell. I smoked weed and it really helped my mind to relax and focus.. It used to give me full blown panic attacks.

I try to only limit to once a day but I've smoked three today.. Meh..

I'm dying of exhaustion. I quit phenibut for 2-3 days and doing good. I'm exhausted and stressed as hell I can't emphasize that enough.

I'm gonna see about applying for that job soon (My mom was too busy to introduce me to the owner of the restaurant). These days, not many people have a stable job.

I’ve become obsessed with cleaning my face. I bought this pore vacuum and am trying to get rid of blackheads on my nose. Used it and it seems to be working! My nose looks better already.

I also bought one of those battery powered cleansing brushes and it came today. Used it and my face feels so clean. I have some nice cleansers I could use with that brush.

Hopefully the brush with help clean my nose better and I won’t have anymore blackheads. They’re so ugly and gross.

I recently got into cleaning my face too. I got some cetaphil facial cleanser and CeraVe facial moisturizing lotion with SPF 30. I'm trying to take better care of my skin and get rid of or at least reduce my acne

I don’t get a lot of pimples in general, but when my mood is down I don’t take very good care of myself and pretty much stop washing my face. So I’m trying to reverse some damage from that.

Need to get into good habits and think of it as self care. Feels great to have a clean face.
