Now I just need to get some coasters so I don’t ruin the wood if I have something cold to drink that has condensation on the outside of it

Hi guys. I'm anxious. I don't know when I am finished with IOP. But I think it is soon. Then I will be "out in the world." I texted my case manager. He is supposed to get back to me. I have therapy at 11:45 AM today so I kind of wanted to know how much time I had left to talk about things. Then I guess I go to aftercare.

I'm craving Thanksgiving food. I wonder if my apartment complex will be giving out Thanksgiving dinners in takeout containers again, they usually do. I am also making a turkey and a few sides. I can have lots of turkey sandwiches with the leftovers. It's good w/ lettuce and mayo

I think the next things I'm going to get for my apartment are a tablecloth for my dining table and a gaming chair for the living room area. Aside from that I'm done. I need to have my Van Gogh painting hung. I keep forgetting to put in a maintenance request for that. Eventually I'd like to get a big 4K TV but that will have to wait awhile. I think my apartment is coming together nicely.

This is the chair I'm getting

My mind is a mess

I had a heart spasm last night while NOT awake but NOT asleep for a second. It was painful. I also rested for 2 hours - Maybe cuz of the glass of wine.

I took clonazepam and more zopiclone then went to sleep and got up for work. At work, I was freaking out about the spots on my skin.

I put so much pressure on myself. I'm never relaxed. Right before I went to sleep, I felt 200mg of phenibut, zopiclone and clonazepam after sitting up and reminded myself - Wow, I'm actually relaxed.

I don't like who I'm turning into - I miss the days when I was ****ed up all day every day and had no awareness of what I was doing.
Possible trigger:


But anyways, I grateful and appreciate the life that I have. I just have a LOT of regret. It kills me. It's unbearable.

I mentioned something to my doctor about treating me like anyone else and then he goes to my mom and says "What makes you think he really has schizophrenia?" - Why would he do that?

If he was seeing me years ago when I was paranoid and depressed af when I was on Abilify, reckless, impulsive, overdosing and did nothing all day, talking to no one without any awareness of anything - Didn't even shower - And now I'm doing all of these improvements...

My past means nothing. The reasons behind why I am the way I am in the present means nothing. People just love telling me what to do, how to think, what to feel. No one ever says that I'm doing good enough.

They don't care if I drop dead. People are selfish and stupid.

I would have tapered down to 100mg tonight (Last night I took 200mg - I taper down by 100mg a day) but I took 500mg just now. It should lift my mood in 1.5-2 hours when my mom comes home.

I'll just completely stop drinking alcohol. It just bugs me that other people can drink and have no problem with it.

"It is not unusual for patients to seek therapy because they feel plagued by regret and unable to live full lives because of it, says Morgan, whether it is over affairs, career choices or relationships. The kind of regret that brings people to his consulting room is “paranoid and persecutory. It’s: ‘Oh God, I’m so terrible, I’m dreadful,’” he says. It is self-flagellation, and it can be incredibly damaging to our mental health. It is exhausting, it sucks all joy and fulfilment from our days and it leaves us stuck, always looking backwards and unable to move forward in our lives."

I had a talk with my mom. She says I'm a little paranoid - Because I said that everyone's criticizing me all of the time (Even though that it's all I ask for).

What I didn't tell her is that I think she exaggerates the good qualities about me to other people - When in reality, I think that I'm much less than that - Because the feeling of the negative things that people have misunderstood about me is much stronger than what I know is true about me.

My high phenibut mood can distract me from thinking too deeply about my known flaws or problems, making me feel like I don't have any - But when I'm in a low mood, I enjoy figuring out the truth in alignment with objective reality but then everyone around me thinks that I'm not well mentally.

INFP problems I suppose.

People have can be happy for no reason. People can also be unhappy when there's reasons not to.. It's just a whole philosophical meaninglessness which is also meaningful.

So that's mind tricks that I play on myself.. It just depends on what I do with my time - And the multiple things is what I talked with my mom about (Stopping online courses after my sister said that I was doing too many of them and have to focus on one). The people on the video chat said that I needed "One thing to live and die for". I have many... But I need to stop justifying myself to other people and trying to explain myself.

Do I care about truth or do I not? Both. That's the problem. People always fight and try to be right about everything. I don't think many people take others opinions into consideration - They're too sure of themselves.. It's as bad as being too uncertain. Yin and Yang. That's the thing - And I know this.. But time and space continues on and always changes.

I am my reality - and everyone else is their reality. So when I see YouTube, FB or China censoring information (And why "free speech" is in the American constitution) What is really true?

As Alan Watts said, one ball in space has only has a reference point to a second one and then when there is more than two, only two or more do.. So physical reality is democratic.

I'm inpatient. Novelty increases for me when I'm in a good mood.. That's why euphoria inducing drugs and meds allow people to take a break and live normal lives - Because most mental illness comes from how crappy our lives can be in society.. idk

You can have more than one thing but there should be a list of priorities that are ranked just in case there are conflicts. For me that’s school first then job then other opportunities. For social it’s my relationship then other stuff like hobbies. How boring would we be if we only picked one thing.

I blended up some plain Greek yogurt and frozen berries and bananas in my blender. I also put a little honey in it too for natural sweetness Then I put it in a container and in the freezer. I'm hoping it freezes into a sort of frozen yogurt type thing. Healthier treat than ice cream. Although ice cream is still good in moderation

Worked from 9am-12pm. Not bad.

Last night I cleaned my room a bit + sanitized my MacBook and was organizing everything on it to put the stuff onto my new one before it gets delivered.

I took more phenibut cuz I want 2 be happy today - Although I feel well.

I was talking to my brother through text about the lions mane;

Roll Call 188

I was also talking with him about cryptocurrencies and SOLANA.. It's now the top 5th coin.. I get so much FOMO for this - For everything..

I'm gonna smoke a bit of weed and then research crypto for a while and invest - Not now.. I'll give myself a week.

I'm excited for skiing this winter - I'll be skiing with my mom, sister and sister's bf on Christmas day. I like to read on the 20 minute drive up to the hill. So I have many things to look forward to.

As I've said, after coming back from the vacation, things will change... Not much buying of drugs (Except the mush cherry cola gummies).. I must be patient.. The new computer will help me when it arrives. Things don't end in occasional dysphorias.

Hugs to all <3

Possibly useful random thought recording (Reply to a topic of IQ);

Possible trigger:


So yeah that's where my state of mind is today. Maybe not useful but a good thought exercise.. I should just read - And it's hard because I could have done that long ago + I was suffering greatly. And now the world is inflicting fear into me - Cuz I'm attached to stability. I just wanted a high. I wanted out.

I mainly need to let go.

Have you been feeling like this all day or just starting now? Have you been drinking coffee?

Try to find something that usually helps.. For me I often used a weighted blanket, made chamomile tea, talked to someone or watched TV..

Mindless TV can help with things if you think too much. The times were easier when a typical American would sit there... All night, just watching TV.. Now the news is messed up, social media is messed up.. Everyone is on their devices.

Us humans need basic things like nature, love, meaningful problems etc.. We're just lifeforms doing the best we can do... 1% change every day is good when having anxiety/mental health problems + Breaks... Lots of breaks.

It just started the past hour or so. I haven’t been drinking coffee, but I did have a few cups of black tea which has caffeine in it

I do have a weighted blanket so maybe I could use that. I just put on my scentsy wax warmer with lavender scented wax melting in it.

I don’t really know, maybe I should listen to a podcast. I have some music on right now. I could listen to my bible study podcast maybe. Or watch my shows on Netflix

I’m kind of stressed too because I need some paperwork from my sister for my apartment complex recertification. It got sent to her house. I messaged her about it but she’s been ignoring my messages for over a week. She’s fine, she’s been on Facebook and stuff, she’s just choosing intentionally to not reply to me for some reason, it’s weird. Anyway, I really need that paperwork soon so I hope she eventually replies.
