I'm trying to decide what to do as far as college goes. I'm planning on registering for the spring (semester starts in January). I'm just concerned because my psychiatrist was concerned about me going back due to my history and how stress affects me mentally. So I'm second guessing myself now because I don't want to end up screwing up again because I'm already on academic warning due to having withdrawn late in the last semester in 2018.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of career you can have with a liberal arts degree majoring in English. I don't want it to be a waste of time

All of my credits from when I was in an associates of science program majoring in human services can be applied to my degree change, so I won't have to start over

Hey everybody!!! I missed you all.

I was IP for 6 days and in the ER one day. Just got out yesterday from IP. It was good for me. My medicines got changed up. I don't know how Pdoc will feel about that. I see him at the end of the month. So I am going to try these medicines until I see him and then I will see what he says.

IP wasn't too bad. It was in LA county which is not the county I live in. So I felt bad for my Dad because he had to drive there 2 times to drop off my medicines that they didn't have. And then another time to visit me. And then another time to pick me up!

The other patients were okay. Some were pretty wacked out but others where chill. I was physically ill for the first two days so I didn't participate much but then I got myself together and started participating. I got bored by Sunday but I wasn't released until Monday. I missed you all!!!!!! hugs Kit

Wow. Work was challenging today. I only missed 4 days of work but people were trying to "help" me so they did parts of my job. Only stuff got done wrong. I had to go back and fix it. I'm not even sure which bills were entered, etc. Very confusing. I wish they had just left everything for me and I could have done it when I got back. But maybe they were concerned I would be hospitalized longer.

T appointment tonight. Not sure how that will go. I mean, what does one talk about after a hospitalization?

Still stupidly tired. I am on 15 mg of Olanzapine now. 5 mg in the AM and 10 mg in the PM.

I really missed my cats and my parents when I was IP. I also really missed soda. There was just juice in the mornings. Milk or Water. Coffee until 10 (but I don't care for regular brewed coffee) or hot tea in the mornings.

I think my apartment is really starting to look nice with the decor and stuff. Next month I'm getting a couch cover of the same material I got for my armchair, plus 4 new pillows for my bed because I only have two and they're extremely worn out. Then after that I'm getting a bed set (comforter) and a new set of sheets. Still need to put in a maintenance request to hang my van gogh painting, and to hang that black and white picture of the eiffel tower I posted above that I just got today. I just want the whole place to be cozy and feel like home

I just dropped a cup filled with water onto my laptop, I was taking a medication and I kind of choked/coughed, and the cup just slipped out of my hand,it was closed so it got onthe top cover but nothing important thankfully, it seems to be okay so far, I'm using it now, water didn't get into any of the important areas, I wiped it off/cleaned it immediately the second after it happened

Doing okay. Just stressed cause I was with my family for a while. And I turned off my phone for an hour. I meditated with a candle. I just can't take the phone addiction I have anymore. I need to either just come to terms with using it for certain things, or I can just turn it off for extended periods of time. I hate being attached to my phone.

I do feel somewhat calmer than when I had my phone on though. I also wrote in the journal.
