I'm impulsive too. Abilify made it much worse. I switched to Invega a few months after my bad trip.

Sometimes it's OK to be impulsive - If it's for the right reasons. Some people are really successful that way. They put the energy into something good.

Yeah I can't make the impulsive energy into something good. I need a switch in meds, because it's clear that the current combination I'm on is either causing my impulsivity or not treating it. The thing is, I used to not be so impulsive!

I kinda think Abilify is the common denominator, since that has been the only thing that has really changed since I started getting super impulsive.

It’s quite possible…I’m also on Abilify and have dealt with this issue. For me fish oil helped Immensely but it doesn’t help everyone for some reason.

The guy I’m talking to again that I dated in high school got me a gift for Easter, he ordered it from the official Pokémon website and it arrived today. It was a surprise and it was a beautiful necklace with my favorite Pokémon on it

It looks better in person, my camera isn’t great

Hope you enjoyed your walk and new cardigan

I am good today, despite the fact that I threw away all my Klonopin yesterday (I know, impulsive). I luckily still had some Xanax XR to take, otherwise I'd probably be going off the wall right now.

Just debating whether or not to avoid a family gathering tonight. I feel like I'm not up for it.

I'm mostly honest about these things. I would tell them that I flushed my meds and feel anxious.

It's just cuz.. when I don't want to go to a social gathering when I don't feel good, - If I go, it doesn't help to be around people and I end up having a bad time.

Yeah I see my pdoc on Tuesday luckily, so if I haven't pissed him off enough already, he'll prescribe me more Klonopin.

Also I feel like a lot of what I'm going through right now has to do with trauma.

Just bought a book called "Yes to Life" by Viktor Frankl. I just read the prologue (by another author). I have a feeling this book is going to be great.

I went for a small 30 minute walk, surrounded by streams and pine trees/in the forest.

I can be afraid of the silence.. But I just - again, focus on my breath and allow thoughts to pass.

I put some music on and had a thought about how happiness is just a byproduct of a meaningful life.. That it shouldn't be the end goal.

It was a bit cold but I guess it woke me up a little. Lately I've been really attentive and focused on improving my life (More than usual) - Google is a good tool to use... I ask it any question or meaning and read a lot..

I wish I could read a book but I still only feed myself pieces of different, interesting information at a time, quickly.. The reason is because of not being able to prioritize (Yet), procrastination, disorganization - So I spend a small amount of time, making sense of the mess...

There's an app called "Magnet" for my MacBook Pro and lets me snap windows to certain parts of the screen and I feel better about using it today. I think that's enough for now...

I'm gonna take 500mg-1g of phenibut every day for a while - At least until I see my psychiatrist next month. I'm feeling better than recent.

I am feeling very happy, what should I do? - Quora

1 more day of work left which will be 16 days worked (With one day off on Wednesday) and then in a few more days, I'll be gone on vacation to visit family.

My sister and her husband of 25 years are splitting up. They sold their house and are moving into a separate apartments. The apartment she’s moving into doesn’t allow pets. So she’s looking for a home for her 14 year old cat. I just texted her and offered to take her. I am allowed to have up to 2 cats here, I love that cat, she’s a tortie and is beautiful and sweet. I think Mustachio would love to have a friend. Then she wouldn’t be so lonely once I’m working part time and back in college.

This is her , I’ll post the pic in the next post
