I just want to do what my psychiatrist says.. and not use anything else.. I try but my mind is not like a normal patient.. I see what's happening to the world. 3rd eye thing, and what matters with that anyways.. People get deluded.. I don't want to be completely balanced. No one does.. or they wouldn't exist, be involved in life.. Except a Buddhist Monk or something.. I'm not ready for that type of thing. I'm some new soul, figuring it out... Some autism. My sister + much of my family are old souls. I don't want to cause people here much stress, just support and such.. Safe place - But remember! I'm harmless.. |

Give it a couple of weeks….it may take a while to get over the withdrawal from everything….just remind yourself it’s only temporary every day.

I didn’t have any side effects from the fourth Covid shot aside from being really really tired yesterday and sleeping really good last night. I feel fine today

I’m hoping to graduate this month the care coordination program I’ve been in the past 5 or 6 years. Will contact my care manager next week and try to see if we can set up an appointment to do the graduation checklist thing they have to go over. Because I can arrange my own appointments now, get transportation if I need to, advocate for myself, I haven’t been back to the inpatient psych unit since late 2017, so I think I’ve made a LOT of progress. I was inpatient so many times from when I was 14 years old in like 2008 all the way to 2017. I did have to go to the ER like a year ago because I was paranoid and thinking my meds were poisoning me but they gave me something to relax me and I was able to go home.
I’ve managed my impulsive/reckless behavior, I’ve taken my meds very consistently, almost never miss a dose, stopped suddenly stopping my meds all the time, I’ve done a lot of self-care and built up a lot of coping skills. My moods are very level consistently thanks to my meds instead of extremely high or extremely low. Just in general I’ve made a huge amount of progress. I still have symptoms sometimes obviously like anxiety/panic, paranoia, low moods, high moods, but not to the extreme that I used to experience all those things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Either way, I care about your wellbeing and everyone else's on this forum (that's why I continue to be an active member). I try to offer my own experience as support, not necessarily as something that you ought to try or something like that. You're a very insightful and intelligent person. It's also sometimes hard to see how someone's feeling just through text as well. Anyway, I just try to offer what I can to support others on this forum, and if that doesn't work, at least I made the effort. Just know that everyone cares.

Ever since getting on abilify I have had to eat a little more than I used to because if I don't I get very shaky and nauseous, I'm trying to learn to not feel guilty for that. It's like a physical requirement now that I eat more (I'm not talking massive unnecessary amounts of food) I just can't cut calories like I used to, I have to have more food than I typically would. I guess that's okay, I try to eat a lot of nutritious foods.
I'm gonna have my doctor test me again for diabetes just to be sure. When I see them next month. When I saw them last year and was tested I wasn't even in the prediabetic range. I just want to be sure because of meds and a family history of it Sent from my M8L using Tapatalk

I bring food with me in my purse anywhere I go, because I'm always afraid I'll start getting really shaky and nauseous in public. So I make sure I have like a granola bar or something in there. Just in case. But in general I just make sure I eat regularly at least every 3-4 hours to stay on top of it.

Happy day to you all!
I'm on Invega, Vyvanse, Dexedrine, atenolol, olanzepine, zopiclone, clonazepam and so.. I'll add pregabalin (75mg).. My pdoc said "You can take 2x a day" - But I stopped taking, cuz it made me feel "Dumb"/couldn't speak well. I asked the pharmacist to restart it... I took a 2nd 75mg last night, and my resting heart rate went to ~100bpm, so I freaked out (Slightly) and fell asleep. So today I took 250mg of phenibut (Which we're trying to replace with the pregabalin) and 75mg of pregabalin (Equal to 250mg of phenibut). Things will go okay idk... That's my update.. My mom is working double shifts. It saddens me. I went to work today, was busy... But vacation soon. |

Little sad. I wrote a bit on Snapchat.
8 weeks: Invega Trinza Morning: Vyvanse, atenolol Afternoon: Dexedrine, pregabalin 5pm: Olanzepine, pregabalin Night: Zopiclone, atenolol That'll work for now. Slightly addicted to alcohol. I focus on these things too much - I get criticized all of the time (Especially the two times I went on the video chat). I used to be on the chat and just listen to crazy people. I felt alone. I've felt alone for such a long time. That's why I did all of the things I did =] And when I tripped.. After, I continued. I cried in front of my mom, she said "I know that you're truly sorry - Most people don't care when they do these things. It's really sad". |

No it's okay. My mom got me to take a picture of the full moon. The pregabalin is calming - No anxiety when people were walking by (First time that ever happened in my life). Just getting used to the effects.

The negative thoughts are gone. 150mg Lyrica. Although I seem unbothered by everything.. It's great =]
Can get sad, but not irritably/suicidal sad or agitated/apathetic. |

But I need to wait until after the Mexico vacation - Cuz when I come back, I'll be more relaxed/content.. And I'll be sitting here (Like I am now..), yes.. enjoying the algorithm.. But all of the goals and such.. There's so much to do (And I can't attend to all of my interests in one day - More like a week..). So with time, things will get better. Generally, I've improved.. Just I need patience, to enjoy the present too.. My mom takes me for hikes, skiing - She says "Be in the present, take it in" - And she's right.. When I look back on my unintentionally anhedonic carelessness (Wanting to be somewhere else/have a different life), I see great meaning in those times.. and want to go back. And being in any relationship makes me anxious. I just want friends (Like in 2018) - Maybe I just need to go with the flow a little bit.. But also I want to participate in wOrLD ChANgE somewhat - To do with psychedelics a little? Consciousness?.. Big picture.. I'll try not to use too many of them in the process there. What helped greatly was listening to podcasts.. Any random one.. Like listening to the radio (As when I was a kid, lying there in the dark..). If my moms ex didn't come into my life (And I didn't leave Ireland), I would have been diagnosed with autism.. And may have better cognition throughout - But so damn avoidant.. I would have broke maybe earlier in life. |

My dream job is neuropsychopharmacology - But unattainable (Unless I spend like 20 years). Need my brain to heal more? Time will tell.
I won't worry about the nukes rn cuz that doesn't make logical sense. |
