Wellbutrin gives me the most amazing sleeps at night;

"Most second-generation antidepressants can cause insomnia, and the rates are similar.7 However, sleep quality is a different matter, and here bupropion shines. Depression impairs sleep architecture in several ways. There is more REM latency (the patient enters REM too quickly), REM density, and less of the restorative slow-wave sleep. Bupropion reverses[7] those changes, while the SSRIs tend to make them worse."

"On the other hand, bupropion does stand out among the antidepressants as having a positive effect on energy.11 When patients are up and active during the day, they are likely to sleep better at night. To me, activity level is a much more important outcome in depression than the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, so I won’t shy from choosing bupropion in a patient with insomnia."

I am now going to see a different therapist. My therapist was acting like she was the boss or something. So annoying.

I went off medicine for a bit, going back on clozapine now though. Blood test tomorrow, pharmacy struggling with the new fda system. Should be able to get the med this weekend and maybe Monday. Anxious, paranoid, upset I was stupid and went off meds.

So pretty much either way I’m going to get put under and cut open and the lump removed so I guess that’s a positive? Idk.

Just had my blood taken for the clozapine. Clinic is closed on the weekend, so best case scenario they send the labs to the fda Monday morning and I can pick the med up Monday night.

Lots of anxiety and worrying, like how the clinic staff aren’t used to clozapine so maybe they’ll see the lab and just put it in my chart instead of sending it to the fda. But nothing I can do about it, so just gonna try to not worry as best I can.

I decided today to just not take anymore shots of rum. Then my mom brings a bottle of wine into her room. It's makes me so agitated.

Possible trigger:

Lol today is good..

I need to put more humour into my life.. It is when I live the most, in this absurd reality.

After I was agitated, I drank a shot of rum, took 400mg of phenibut and 0.25mg kpin. I spent 2 hours reading articles - Then took zopiclone and went to sleep. I don't advise.

The morning, I was tired.. But made it to work and then felt OK after drinking a coffee.

I just think of the spiritual consequences of drinking alcohol (Body eating spirit). But moderation is key... I will find my way to the Gods. It doesn't seem to make me apathetic anymore.

My dad will be visiting on Tuesday. He drinks quite a lot, along with my mom..

I'm just trying my best in this world. I didn't ask to be here... But with time (If I don't die from the vaccine or nuclear war), things should be OK.

Hmm.. The opposite of "mindlessness" is "mindfulness". I will look into it further.

I have to be sober and take all meds as prescribed.

But the schizophrenia messes with everything.. I know too much. My mind is naturally set to pain/dysphoria more than a regular person. Knowing about psychedelics, my atheism changing to panentheism, etc.. The deep state, propaganda, trauma and gaslighting from abuse/neglect in isolation, being sensitive to people lying to me/mistrust, no desire for intimate relationships, being freaked out by reality, hidden meanings, connectivity, coincidences, etc.

I'm not supposed to be in this reality - Although I could change that thought and make any destiny etc.

I'll think about recovering when I'm fully sober and on the right med.. My treatment team just never trusted me. Now they do - and I have people that will work with me instead of trying to control/have power over me. I hate people's egos, twitter, the ****ing arguing and meaninglessness, mindlessness. I can't take it. Every day really does feel like torture.

I don't feel good. I'm having a horrible panic attack tonight.

I'm also afraid to go to sleep. I'm afraid as soon as I go to sleep I'll die
