I think I may be able to stop the thorazine. (I do have permission to if I want to) and just keep it around to take as needed for sleep instead of every night. Then I'd just be on these meds:


Trileptal 1200mg

Zoloft 200mg

Wellbutrin XL 300mg

Abilify Maintena 400mg monthly injection

and Klonopin prn, which I only take in extreme circumstances anyway which is rarely.


and I'll stay on those.


I'm off the perphenazine finally. I'm feeling good, the withdrawal the first week sucked but I'm doing better now. I'll finally be on just one antipsychotic instead of 3
That's great news, congrats!! Roll Call 187

"Some people will make a full recovery and be completely unaffected by the coma. Others will have disabilities caused by the damage to their brain. They may need physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychological assessment and support during a period of rehabilitation, and may need care for the rest of their lives."

I have to recover psychologically after being in a decade long coma. I'm over exaggerating because people don't listen lol

I'm waiting to finish my candy to take my night pills. Just a few moments left. Now I'll be on alert for visual hallucinations. I'm not sure, I guess it was in 2013 when I last had them.

I feel like I should take a staycation back in my apartment. I'd like to move back but the illness will get too overpowering if I do. And if I get free of the conservator it will be hard to get back here. I just wish I wouldn't lose my apartment.

Did anyone know that Britney Spears was committed and had a conservator? I was kind of shocked because when you think of her you imagine a wonderfully good life. I'm happy for her because I think she got her freedom back.

My mom was talking about this with my dad. I got sicker and sicker, more reckless, impulsive, etc but my mom said that I'm smart and know that I like my freedom. My treatment team mentioned for my mom to be my conservator but she never did..

I made a joint bank account with my mom but that's it. I'm happy to have freedom. If I didn't have the freedom, I'd be hopelessly depressed or start becoming manipulative.

A psychiatrist also wanted me to take the Invega injection as a community treatment order - That would have ****ed me up too but my outpatient psychiatrist said no. So if I do stop my injection, the cops have no right to take me to the hospital.

I've managed to do well with things like this.

I've been having trouble with overscheduling stuff lately. Just like social stuff. I wish I didn't have so much to do.

Yeah, think I'm going to. I've been super overextended for like a week now. I don't know why, but last week I thought it was a great idea to make a ton of plans. I oscillate between boredom and having too much to do, it seems.

Yeah I don't get manic, or at least no doctor has said I've ever been manic, which doesn't exclude the possibility; but I think this modafinil stuff is causing me some strange effects. Like I slept so poorly last night. I don't know why either. Well, I think it was likely due to the modafinil.

Tomorrow's gonna be busy. I'm calling the bingo cards from 11am-12pm, then again from 1pm-2pm. And from 2pm -3pm I have my self-care group. Should be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

I need to go grocery shopping sometime soon. I'm running low on baking ingredients so I want to replace everything. I'm going to try to get a haircut next month, I really need it, if my sister has time to bring me to the hair place sometime. I'm thinking of cutting it all off into a pixie cut. I haven't had that in a long time. It wasn't too bad the first time I got one, and it felt great and was easier to take care of. Plus it will be easier if I want to get it dyed.

Oh yeah, then on Saturday I'm going to that church to get some new-to-me clothes.

I'm so tired today, idk why. It's weird because my abilify injection normally gives me very bad insomnia. I'm off the thorazine and perphenazine. I've been spending more time in my living room and out of my bed, being more active. Maybe that's why. My mood is good though.

It'll be a lot easier when I buy the new iPad Pro M1 chip - It's gonna revolutionize my technology experience and organization.

My moms boss is a genius autist - like a real one.. He doesn't put anything on paper.. He just writes it on his iPad or screenshots or pastes things.

Tomorrow I'm going to the province to the East to visit my grandmother. Then in October I'll go to the province to the West to visit my other grandmother + many many family members. I'll have the iPad. It'll be great.

I sense that things will get a lot better for me after these holidays. I'm happy to spend time with my dad.

Everything is packed. Items are in their places. The things..

I'm not sure if I need zopiclone to fall asleep anymore. My chronic insomnia might be gone. My emergency psychiatrist that I adopted when I was hospitalized last year for dissociative panic has done well.

Going downstairs in about an hour and 20 minutes to call the bingo game, I never do anything like this. I'm nervous

I’m debating between getting wine or vodka w/ cranberry juice to celebrate Halloween next month. I think vodka since I haven’t had it in a very long time.

Wow I feel seriously on edge today. I've been sitting here (at work) doing some breathing exercises. Trying to will in some peace and breathe out the anxiety. I have therapy today with the individual T from IOP--J and I think I am looking forward to that. She's tough on me but I do like her. It's so hard to be told that I cannot SH or I might get kicked out of IOP. At the same time J is telling me to go to the hospital if I feel like SH-ing (I would have to live there because I have too many urges) but I am afraid of being put IP so I cannot go. So I am stuck with breathing exercises. Yesterday I texted a hotline and that kind of helped. And I texted some friends and that kind of helped. IOP last night was interesting. It was more on drug/alcohol recovery but I tried to take what I could from it. Tonight I don't know who is leading IOP. It is supposed to be S but she was only there for half of Monday's session so I don't know if she will be there tonight. I hope she is. She's tough but she is good with me.
