I let the property manager know I’ll be taking classes part time and asked if she needs any paperwork for proof (because you can only go part-time while living in supportive housing, not full time), she said a schedule will be fine so I’ll get that for her next week.

I drank the milkshake though but super bummed.

I’m just so emotional lately at the wrong times.

It's okay, cogladaid. I'm sure we have all been in similar situations. That may not make it easier, but you are not alone. Sending you gentle hugs if wanted, Kit

My whole perception of reality is incomplete strings that lead to no where - No connection to anything.

But I've been like this since I was a kid - I'm verbally challenged.

I need to stop being so hard on myself. But the stress of the heart OCD is back again and it's killing me. I can't think about anything else. I think I might die soon.

My apartment building is having an arts and crafts day in the community room on Thursday, making our own t-shirts with paint, I'm going to it

Hope you feel better slumberkitty, sorry you're struggling

I'm just waiting on an email from an advisor and also waiting on my therapy appointment which is in about 2 1/2 hours from now

Thanks SK

I'm wondering if I should bring this up with my psychiatrist tomorrow. The past 4-5 months I get extremely shaky and nauseous, and feel strange, if I don't eat a significant/substantial amount every 3 hours, sometimes (though rarely) to the point of actually throwing up. I wonder if that's normal on the meds I'm on. I'm just wondering if the abilify ****ed up my blood sugar. I don't know if the thorazine does that, but I have heard that abilify can do that since it's an atypical AP.

FWIW, I think it is worthwhile to bring up to pdoc.

Thanks, I'm concerned about diabetes. It runs in my family. I was tested for it in November and wasn't even pre-diabetic at that time but I am wondering if that changed

i am better now but still have some chest heaviness. like a weight is on my chest.

i didnt' update in here about it but my mom has broken her pelvis in half and fractured her sacrum, and THEN she got MRSA and cellulitis and was in the hospital. i went to go be with her but when i got back home i found out I had covid.


i was so scared that she had gotten it to. the whole thing was scary. i thought my mom was gonna die.

she didn't get covid but i was quite sick for a week, and i hope i NEVER get covid again cause that crap just DOESNT QUIT

wow junkDNA that sounds awful bad about the chest heaviness! I hope that goes away soon.

My therapist, and like 4 friends all had Covid recently. It's like it is spiking out of nowhere! So random!

Wow, that is a lot of stuff to happen to your mom. Is your Mom doing better now? My Dad broke a bone in his back a couple of months ago and that was scary for me. It was after a fall. But he has always been like Superman to me, y'know? So it is hard when parents get older. Is MRSA like stapf? And I don't know what cellulitis is but that does not sound good! I hope she is okay.

So glad you are back. You have been missed! HUG Kit

I had a good appointment with my therapist. She's happy I'm going back to college, she said I've made a lot of progress, and the that I'm a lot more stable than I was

mom's mrsa infection cleared up. yes mrsa is a type of staph infection that is resistant to a lot of antibiotics. my mom is actually a carrier of MRSA since she worked as a nurse her whole life, and its common in healthcare providers to become carriers of it since theyre around it so much. she is out of the hospital now and healing her fractures at home

This is also good news, Blue_Bird! I hope that you will enjoy both classes. My AA is actually in Humanities because I took every single Humanities class that the college offered. If I would have taken one more science or math class I could have gotten an AA and an AS but I had like 96 units at that point or something (and I only needed 60) and I was like, I'm good. Then I got my BS in Management and Leadership with an emphasis in Human Resource management. And then I got an MBA later on. It took me a long time with my illness and all but I am glad I did it. I similarly hope that your educational path will be rewarding.

Oh, wow. I have always heard that staph is really scary! But I guess being a nurse it is probably inevitable since that stuff like runs rampant through hospitals! I am glad that your Mom is out of the hospital now and I hope she can heal quickly from the fractures. Good thoughts and warm wishes to you and Mom. Hugs Kit
