Had a good appointment with my care manager. She's going to schedule an eye exam for me when she finds somewhere that takes my insurance. So that way I can get new glasses. And then she said she just resubmitted my vocational rehabilitation application because it never got reviewed due to staffing shortages, so hopefully I can have a job coach. And she's gonna help me do my job application and resume when she is back at work around the 26th, she's off until then.

It probably won't be like that forever, but I am at least working on my master's in translation and hopefully I'll be able to start a business doing that. Anyway, that's my plan. It needs to be clarified/expanded, but that's the general outline.
For me I have to work full time. I live on my own and pay all my own bills. Sometimes it is really hard for me

Hope you feel better and get some meds soon, I hate acid reflux/heartburn, it really sucks. The omeprazole seems to be working well for me lately, I think because I started taking it like 30 minutes before I eat and take my other meds

I saved up enough to pay off the rest of what I owe my college, so I' making my final payment this weekend, then I should be able to get in touch with an advisor and get re-enrolled for the upcoming fall semester, that gives me enough time (probably several months) to get used to/adjusted to working part-time once I have a job before I add on part-time school with it

I really want to go down on Klonopin on my own. Why do doctors have to control things like this? I just feel like it's causing me so much harm.

Yeah luckily I just got some work doing some translation so I have some money coming in. I understand it's hard to work full-time. I couldn't do it.

I really need to get off of this Klonopin stuff. I am desperate for a solution for this.

Had a good time at the movies, saw the 3rd Fantastic Beasts movie (Secrets of Dumbledore) , it was amazing, I really enjoyed it a lot. Can’t wait to buy it on DVD when it comes out so I can watch it again

Is there anything else they can put you on for anxiety? I found beta blockers to be very good for the physical symptoms of anxiety. I used to be on propranolol and it helped a lot when my anxiety was severely out of control

I wish. I just got rid of all my meds. I am honestly going to give it a shot without meds. I know it's a no-no in the minds of psychiatrists, but I am so tired of relying on these pills. It's exhausting.

Anyway, just to be clear, I'm not knocking meds for anyone else, just saying that they have been extremely problematic for me.

Be careful stopping klonopin suddenly can result in withdrawal seizures , you might want to take it slower if you can come up with a good plan with your doctor

Oh good to know that it’s good. I think the first thing we’ll see in the theater is top gun.

Why can't I even write about what's wrong with me

It's all fragmented

I am good. Good die young.

Edit: It's OK. I just need to relax.

2 more days of work and then I'm visiting family. It'll be good.

I just want the good energies back. Then visit the soul gas station every once and a while to fill up. That place is here, running on emptiness.

I wonder if Haldol or Clozaril would help with my impulsivity.
