My mom gets mad at me every time I mention that I'm not well. The apathy.

Careful, friend.. Break up = suicidal (For someone with mental illness = More severe than normal breakup).

I, we send LOVE your way.. Then take a piece.. or as much as you need, apply love for self.. ^-

SP, yeah, its going to be like 94 tomorrow and I have to work outside tomorrow.

Hiya everyone. I'm doing so-so. My paranoia has been up. =( I've been doing so good too.

In better news, I'm leading a reading group to discuss my favorite book. This is my moment to shine haha. I have a friend who is helping me out. Have you guys seen Everything Everywhere All At Once? 10-10 film score. It was amazing. The pace of the film was great, great message. They pulled something terrific off.

I really feel the lack of motivation today cuz I have a cold/flu.. I might have a bit of a fever so I took ibuprofen + another two times for bad headaches. I had chills all over my body for the whole night. Hacking up lungs.

Possible COVID o.- but w/e

I still took the Vyvanse and will just take it easy today. It took all of the energy I had to get ready for the morning.

Thanks, SP. You guys are the best! I did end up talking with my T later on. She sent me a text saying she was feeling better and could probably do a session. So I said, how about I text you at 5 PM and we will see how you are. If you are good, we will proceed with a session at 6 PM? She thought that was a good idea. So we ended up meeting but Zoom wasn't working for her, internet connection, so we ended up talking on the phone. It was a good session. I feel like crap today. Both physically and emotionally. I gotta get my crap together and knock off this crap. It's just hurting me and it isn't helping me and I gotta get better. Easier said than done though. I'm so nauseated today after taking care of my wounds. I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe what I did. I haven't even eaten breakfast yet because I am nauseated. I did manage a piece of string cheese and I am going to try a piece of bread in a little bit. And I am drinking Sprite. Plus I just took some alprazolam so hopefully that kicks in. I'm like really fragile right now.

Oh no! I hope you don't get COVID and that your mom feels better soon. Did you ever hear back from your Dr?

I hope you are feeling a little better today, convalescence. Try to be kind to yourself while you aren't feeling your best.

Sitting in the parking lot while my mom goes shopping. Vyvanse masks the possible covid so I must take it easy.

My macbook pro has like 20 hours a battery life... + I got 40GB of 5G data. So it's all good. Gotta keep the doors of the car locked though cuz there's sketchy people everywhere..

The message got to my doctor and I guess he didn’t think it was too serious so he didn’t call. I’m feeling better today so it must be going away.

I’m supposed to talk to him next week anyway. Was supposed to be in office but because of COVID stuff now it’s just a phone call.

Not that you shouldn't take similar... But Topamax is no good I think.
yeah i was on Topamax for a while. They call it Stupimax lol. it really does make you dumb. i also had extreme tingling in my hands and face. i also lost a LOT of weight.

I'm having a problem at work where they want me to work more (I only work 3 days a week). I said I would work 4 days and then the thought about being around them more daunted on me (Not knowing me and making judgements based on what I say because I'm not very self-revealing in work settings).

My moms ex ruined stuff for me. I worked my *** off being his slave for years and only talked to him in isolation. I think going to therapy would help me to ditch the cognitive distortion I have around that..

It makes me suicidal when I'm doing mindless things, like any task.. I want to use my mind to do things - But I'm starting to have doubts that I'm not good enough. If they aren't grateful that I'm working as much as I can, then I think I should find another job. The owner was like "What do you do on your non-work days?" I said "Hiking.." and before I could finish, she laughs... Like yeah.. - No time to even speak while we're working.

No one sees my worth - Not even me. I then start to think, "What's the point of even staying alive - Especially after my parents die? I don't see the point at all except following my intuition. Something that I can't explain during small talk" and no I don't have anything to live and die for - like a ****ing soldier. Surely I'm afraid to die - I don't know what's going to happen after... no one does - Well maybe a few very enlightened.. I imagine that my consciousness will be uploaded to somewhere to escape this simulation and become a God. But either way, if I die, it's not my fault. Even suicide. It's all just ideas. My existence is an idea. Infinity multiplied by infinity - That's all it is. And we're in a capsule.

I can't make eye contact either. I was laughed at of that - But I realized in the situation that it was funny. If I can't, might as well own it yknow.. lol.. I just don't want people to suck away/absorb my soul.

But yeah.. Work is over for the week so I can relax. Me and my mom are going to drive to the city this week because she has her mammogram - But she has a cold.. So idk what's gonna happen. I want to buy jeans at the mall (I don't pay attention to my appearance.. Or anyone else's appearance - If someone were to ask me "Do I look good?" I'd have no idea what to say because all I see is nothing).. But I should try and spend some money on improving.. Being like everyone else.. Although here's the thing..

The world has changed a lot in the past few years. Predicting the future is almost impossible for people, when they live in their own comfortable, isolated bubble. Things are gonna flash by and the more adaptable you are (Which I am NOT at all), they'll be OK - Which is most people. I realize how ****ed up reality is - And how strange.. how unreal things are. The metacognition and pondering meanings of life, universe, people were aware long before me. They'll be OK. I'll be with the homeless people once my parents are gone if meds.. aren't being manufactured (YES, I have a **** load of worries.. There's 1000 more of them floating around in my mind) - My siblings will help me out. I'll have money.

I do want to have some sort of challenge.. But my identity/mind is fragmented. All it is.. is potential, complexity. I am a good person mostly, I'm honest 99%.

Whatever. I don't care.
it sounds like you have severe social anxiety

I am back after having a few days of panic mode. I guess I was just feeling overwhelmed. I just had the feeling my T didn't want me to do the interview. That is different than her actually not wanting me to do the interview. My T didn't even know about the interview. I have trouble communicating things a lot of the time. Anyway, I did the interview. Then I got a second interview but I turned the second interview down because I was feeling anxious about it and I didn't want to disrupt my mental health routine, given that I guess I think that a job could disrupt my mood and stress levels to a place I don't want to be again. I am stressed, but I feel like talking with others helps a lot. I am sorry to hear of the sufferings of various members on here, just remember, if there's anything you need to vent or get out, there are people on here who understand or who will at least try to understand, myself included.

On a lighter note, I've been reading fiction lately. I think I'll buy a book every now and then and read daily or something. It's a good escape.
