The nurse just called from my doctors office. He said my doctor called in the prescription for the xulane patches. So I’ll go pick those up tomorrow

That all sounds delish...I made a spicy tomato based Italian sausage soup this week.....very fall for me because my mom used to make it with the home tomatoes she would get around this time of year.

I wasn't looking at conspiracies (Apart from Alex Jones a few times - But I couldn't handle that) - I mainly was looking at news about corruption.

And the corruption is a real thing.. Everyone knows that..

Such as the stock market being a bubble. It will be crashed intentionally soon..

Rest of the week I just have cleaning to do, picking up meds, library, family dollar, a video appointment with my psychiatrist, then trying to get a walk-in appointment at my dentist. I swear I should try to see if there’s any other places around here that take my insurance. It’s so hard to get in to be seen.

Sunday I’m going to the park then to my friends house. Should be a fun day. Next week I don’t have much going on except going to the theater on Friday.

I’m looking forward to the next self-care art group. It will be on the 29th

I fell asleep in the afternoon and missed the smoke break. It's just as well, I only really enjoy the morning one. I hate how decrepit I've become. I hope everyone is ok.

Just checking in. I can't remember the last time I posted here. It must have been some time last week.

I got my Halloween decorations up which is always fun. I haven't thrown up in three days and I've been needing Lorazepam less (today is the first time I took one in days). So things are on an upswing right now. I was kind of tired on Saturday though and just dozed on the couch most of the day. I felt better Sunday and had a nice visit with the family. Today was laundry day and I'm finishing that up now. I woke up in a funk but am ending the day feeling upbeat.

The closest I came to throwing up this morning was one strong gag which doesn't count so that means I've gone four mornings without throwing up which is a record for me lately. (I've been throwing up most mornings for months.)

More good news is that I've lost 57 pounds of the weight I gained on Olanzapine. I only lost 4 pounds last month but that is healthy. (You only want to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.)

It's going to be another beautiful day and I'm really feeling this fall weather. Today it will be sunny and in the 80s which is really mild where I live. (It was the same yesterday.)

Reaching this time of year is always a mood booster for me and this year is no different. For me, Halloween kicks off the holiday season so I already feel Thanksgiving and Christmas coming too.

I hope everyone here has as beautiful a day as we are going to have where I live.

I bought turmeric 1000mg with black pepper - I'll take that once a day. It's supposed to increase BDNF in the brain for better neuroplasticity.

Break the capsules open with some goat and stock and you got the makings of a curry.

Turmeric + black pepper is supposed to be a potentiator for kratom

"If we enjoy some great professional success, our feelings of accomplishment remain vivid and intoxicating for about an hour, or maybe a day, but then people will begin to ask us “So, what are you going to do next? Don’t you have anything else in the pipeline?” Steve Jobs releases the iPhone, and I’m sure it wasn’t twenty minutes before someone asked, “when are you going to make this thing smaller?” Notice that very few people at this juncture, no matter what they’ve accomplished, say, “I’m done. I’ve met all my goals. Now I’m just going to stay here and eat ice cream until I die in front of you.”

Even when everything has gone as well as it can go, the search for happiness continues, the effort required to keep doubt and dissatisfaction and boredom at bay continues, moment to moment. If nothing else, the reality of death and the experience of losing loved ones punctures even the most gratifying and well-ordered life.

In this context, certain people have traditionally wondered whether a deeper form of well-being exists. Is there, in other words, a form of happiness that is not contingent upon our merely reiterating our pleasures and successes and avoiding our pains. Is there a form of happiness that is not dependent upon having one’s favorite food always available to be placed on one’s tongue or having all one’s friends and loved ones within arm’s reach, or having good books to read, or having something to look forward to on the weekend? Is it possible to be utterly happy before anything happens, before one’s desires get gratified, in spite of life’s inevitable difficulties, in the very midst of physical pain, old age, disease, and death?

This question, I think, lies at the periphery of everyone’s consciousness. We are all, in some sense, living our answer to it—and many of us are living as though the answer is “no.” No, there is nothing more profound than repeating one’s pleasures and avoiding one’s pains; there is nothing more profound than seeking satisfaction, both sensory and intellectual. Many of us seem to think that all we can do is just keep our foot on the gas until we run out of road.

But certain people, for whatever reason, are led to suspect that there is more to human experience than this. In fact, many of them are led to suspect this by religion—by the claims of people like the Buddha or Jesus or some other celebrated religious figures. And such a person may begin to practice various disciplines of attention—often called “meditation” or “contemplation”—as a means of examining his moment to moment experience closely enough to see if a deeper basis of well-being is there to be found.

[...] Leaving aside all the metaphysics and mythology and mumbo jumbo, what contemplatives and mystics over the millennia claim to have discovered is that there is an alternative to merely living at the mercy of the next neurotic thought that comes careening into consciousness. There is an alternative to being continuously spellbound by the conversation we are having with ourselves."
