Roll Call 194

In my experience, Abilify doesn't help that much with my actual psychosis. Works more as an AD for me. But obviously different people have different meds work in different ways (I guess.)...

My wifi is out so I'm using mobile hotspot. That's how much I needed to get on this site. Hah.

Abilfy works great for psychosis for me….like you said different ways

It usually works good for my for psychosis, and my bipolar mood states, mania and depressive episodes. I haven't been fully manic in a long time and that's probably something to be thankful for because I always did stupid stuff whenever I was manic. I kind of miss the mania though, mainly the ideas, planning, energy, excitement. Just not the impulsive recklessness.

I think I just haven't been managing my anxiety well lately. I need to cut caffeine out completely. I hate to do that but I can't tolerate it. My anxiety is bad without it I certainly don't need 3-6 ups of coffee a day on top of it. Increase exercise, exercise more frequently, use meditation since it used to help me a lot. Get reconnected with my faith, which helped ground me and gave me a lot of happiness and comfort when I was more connected and into it. I don't care whether it's real or not. I believe God, I'm Catholic but am kind of lax in how I practice it because there are several things in it I don't agree with but many of the central faith things I do. I believe there's nothing wrong with gay marriage, etc things like that don't bother me. There are other things I disagree with but I love the faith itself and the history. Another thing is I don't think there's anything wrong if anybody believes in anything else.. I just kind of feel like if you're a good person and do what's right then that's fine, believe whatever brings you peace, happiness, etc. So maybe that's why I kind of fell off going to church and stuff because I feel like sort of a fraud.

Maybelle snuggled up to me tonight, she laid down next to me and rested her head on my arm while I had my arm around her

Good to see you back

So I cancelled my volunteer thing the other day because I felt like I was getting a cold. My throat was really sore, runny nose. And I wanted to give them enough notice in case I got worse, they obviously don't want sick people being around food etc and I'm frustrated because today I feel fine. So I'm going to sign up the volunteer for the week after this week because I have things I need to do this week. I'm going to see if they have a lunch shift thing available anytime soon. I'm just gonna try to do that 3 times over the next month. I really didn't want to cancel but I also didn't want to suddenly cancel on them at the last minute if I got more sick and cause them to be short a volunteer

My friend in the building needs to go to CVS, I need to go there as well, so we're gonna walk there downtown together this morning. Will be nice to socialize for awhile

I am still using mobile hotspot. Wow. I wish my wifi were fixed by now. Of course, I just use mobile hotspot in short bursts and I'm not streaming a bunch of videos or anything like that. But I wish my wifi were back...

Some things like wifi are integral to my functioning properly. Ha.

@Blue Bird the homophobia is the reason I can't go to Catholic Church anymore. Plus I have seen a lot of hypocrisy from Catholics where I live and I can't handle it anymore.

Yeah same here, it’s unfortunate

Got a friendly woodland animal quilt, getting tired of on of the bfs old comforters. Want something that says me, since I spend so much time here. Love the fall woodland.

I have five days left of my Latuda and I have no refills. I put in a request for refills through the pharmacy (they’ll fax a request to my doctor) but I think my doctor is on vacation this week so I’m worried I’ll run out on Friday and have to go at least the weekend without them.

I’ll check in a couple days to see if it’s been filled.

I hate running low on meds, luckily I have a stockpile at the moment. Hopefully there is someone covering for your doc.

Cute comforter SP!

I'm feeling really impatient, waiting for friday to pay off the college bookstore since they're not open till then

Yeah when I get them refilled it’s three months at a time so it just ended up as awkward timing. If I tried to refill them last week they would have just ignored it because it’s ‘too early’. They’re picky.

Hopefully someone is covering for him.

I have an appointment with my therapist tomorrow and one with my psychiatrist on Wednesday, very excited to tell them the news of going back to college. This has been a goal for a few years now

Your comforter is cute SP!

Hope your therapy and Pdoc appointments go well Blue_Bird!

Hi everyone!
