Great job Blue_Bird! Don't forget to build up your tolerance so you don't burn out....it's great that you are getting more exercise though.

I had barbecue chicken and baked beans for lunch. Delish!

Oops I guess I should have posted that in the what are you eating and drinking thread!

I'm getting a migraine. I just took some medication and turned the lights off in my office.

I think I got too many games. Got like 10 and played 4 and am just done. Blah.

I been hard on myself last week to draw or game or do something fun other then sleep. This pregnancy has been so unbelievably hard on me already and it’s only month 2 almost 3 (1st tri). The nausea and tiredness, even tho it’s all I really am dealing with, is so debilitating to the extreme. There were some days, many, where I was only awake for maybe 2 hours of the day, IF! And the nausea, most days I could only curl up in a ball and feel the nausea for hoursss. It was so bad. It’s not over, but it’s mild right now.

I’ve been dealing with a lot of existential depression lately and some anxiety too. It’s really bad.

hugs @newtus I hope all this pain and nausea and stuff that you are having right now will be so eclipsed by the sheer joy and delight of having a baby that you will forget all the pain you had while in your pregnancy once the baby is here. I know 9 months is a long time but my sister always says the first trimester is the hardest, that and the last month. Hopefully the second trimester will be much improved with nausea etc. HUGS Kit

I'm trying to put myself into a "Friday mood," and my attitude is gradually improving. I'm getting together with my sister this evening, which is per usual on Fridays, and we will celebrate her birthday. I want to be in a good mood for her special day.

I've lost 7 more pounds of the weight I gained from Olanzapine--that's a total of 53 pounds gone, thanks to the keto diet. Be that as it may, as it's my sister's birthday today, so we will be indulging. (She wants empanadas and cup cakes.) Besides, I make it a point to indulge once a week so that my metabolism won't slow down.

I continue to struggle with "what if's," worrying over what could happen in various situations, and stressing out over little things. I know I'm just projecting my anxiety over the delusional intrusions on things which helps to know. But I've been taking Lorazepam almost daily to deal with it all. I don't like that. But so far today, I haven't needed one. Fingers crossed.

Hope everyone has a peaceful day.

What kind of card do you have? I asked my friend to get me a greenlight debit card so I can order from door dash, etc.

On the treadmill

Only did a mile on the treadmill today, it was really hot this late afternoon so I couldn’t do the full 2 miles or more. It’s better than nothing I guess

I like to ignore reality, especially this past year and a half

That's a wise decision with dissociative anxiety. Since I don't get DP/DR, I go full on ahead into the madness - Maybe 70% attention and 30% relaxing.

I realize that now that I'm on olanzepine, my mind can handle stress better.

Yeah it makes my anxiety worse, so it's good that I enjoy staying in my own little world in my head a lot of the time, or escaping through books

Blue_Bird · Sep 03, 2021 at 06:25 PM

Once the leaves start changing I'm gonna see if my sister can take me to the park to take pics

Desoxyn · Sep 03, 2021 at 08:09 PM

The stress I'm feeling is unreal - Literally. It is not real. NOTHING is real..

I wish I could ignore everything but I can't. My mind is so open...

I have brain damage =/
