I’m a beautifully chaotic person. I find solitude in my hectic life.

I'm thinking of getting rid of my facebook, I don't really have many friends I feel connected with, most people are from high school and I don't even talk to them, and I feel like the negative effects of social media are starting to outweigh the positive aspects of it for me

I didn't deactivate my account, but I unfriended a lot of people (including relatives). That helped.

Thanks that's what I just did, I went from having 117 people on my friend's list and cut it down to 56, I got rid of most of the people from my high school

I'm so sorry BB. It does suck. I spent an hour and wrote like an essay reply as someone that can relate to you but I just traumatized myself. It's 2am and I have to wake up soon. Hugs though....

I deactivated my FB mainly cuz of what happened in high school.

I’m gonna try and have a restful day today. Hopefully I won’t pace around the house too much and I can relax a little.

Ugh I find myself looking at Tumblr again at people who are struggling. It’s frustrating and sad to see people posting about their eating disorders. They’re so messed up. So many people glorifying it. I’m not encouraging anyone or anything. I wish all people would get help. I’m not even posting anything. I don’t want to contribute to that toxic.

But I can’t stop looking.

Have a dentist appointment today at 3:30pm. Getting the root canal finished. Then I have another one on Tuesday to get a filling. Doing my best to avoid sugary foods from now on so I can keep my teeth in better shape. It's hard , maybe someday it'll get easier but right now it really sucks.

One good thing is I got rid of all the coffee in my house including decaf. So for one that will help my anxiety since I'm not drinking the caffeine anymore and secondly it will help my teeth because even though I don't drink sugar in my coffee, I drink it black, coffee of any kind is still very acidic, even the decaf which is bad for tooth enamel. So I got rid of it all and am only letting myself have coffee at the coffee social events in my building that are like twice a month and occasionally if I ever go to a cafe or something (I rarely ever go out to eat or to cafes so that won't become a problem )

Hi friends

So tired today--so I am drinking Iced Coffee! Yum.

I don't want to be at work today but I missed all those days when I was in the psych hospital so I forced myself to come to work! On Friday I was not getting along with one of my coworkers and it looks like I will have to interact with her again today. Bleh. Hopefully she is in a better mood. I am trying to help myself be in a better mood too.

HUGS all, Kit

One more hour till I head out to my dentist appointment. Takes about 20 minutes to walk there. I don't like being out in the late afternoon because it's really bright and there's a lot of cars and people, all of it is overwhelming. I can't wait till it's over with and I'm home.

I tried to start taking the olanzepine before bed (Midnight) instead of at 5pm every evening (Most times).

I thought that I took the 10mg of olanzepine yesterday evening but it was still in the pill box. No wonder I had so much energy this morning (Even after only 5 hours of sleep). I will be aware of this situation... very nice. My cognitive ability hasn't been better in a long time either.

I just have to be aware of depersonalization/derealization - But it seems good for now.

"In our study, acute or abrupt onset of manic episode after olanzapine discontinuation was noted in 85% patients. Sleep disturbance was the most common prodromal sign of relapse after discontinuation of olanzapine; other signs were irritability, absence of insight for behavior change, changes ..."

Very interesting.

If I get myself a bottle of Coke, I can't have a chocolate bar tonight. I'm trying to tell myself that but I'm in a very diffuse phase when it comes to discipline and I don't know if I'll comply. I hope everyone is well.

Just got home from my appointment. They did a filling. On Thursday they’re finishing the root canal and in early October I have one more appointment for the final filling then I’m done!!! Then I just need to keep up with regular cleanings

I threw out all of my medication last night. I was sick of feeling like a zombie on 15 mg olanzapine. I guess it's like I can't win with that stuff. Or something. I am not sure what to do. I called my psychiatrist today about it, he obviously wasn't happy about it, but he's at least re-prescribing everything except for the modafinil. Anyway, I would appreciate any tips as to how not to throw away meds again because this is seriously the last time I can do anything like this again.

Can you get on an injection? That kept me from stopping my meds when I used to do that

I am definitely going to ask my pdoc about this when I see him next. Thanks for the suggestion.
