Nope. I have no idea. I'm going to completely let my psychiatrist think about what to do (Based on what I say, symptoms etc)...

Edit: But also, helping him to help me has worked so far.. I'm just clueless RN. A lot is going on.

I walked to CVS to pick up some of my meds. Then I met with my housing support specialist and corrected something with social security and faxed them. There was a mistake, I may get backpay for the last 3 years I've lived here because they were giving me less than I was supposed to get because they had my address/living arrangments wrong. I don't know if I will get the back pay or not, it would be nice, roughly $2,300. However that depends on social security and if they feel like it or not I guess, honestly I'm just relieved that I shouldn't owe them any money. My supportive housing person said if they don't give me backpay at the very least they'll correct/increase the monthly amount going forward,

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow. I'm doing pretty well, so I don't need any med changes or anything, just checking in and getting refills

I feel like the Latuda is working for the most part. I guess. I don't know. How do you know if something's working or not?

Also my Spanish has gotten worse for sure. I feel like I used to be able to converse pretty fluently when I was down here before.

So that is definitely really frustrating.

No worries. You'll pick it back up much quicker than you think. Give or take 2-3 weeks ^-

I always feel like I’m never making progress with my weight loss. But I looked in my journal and a month ago today I weighed 176 lbs. This morning when I weighed myself I was 171 lbs. So I’ve lost 5 lbs the past month. Proud of myself.

This is healthy weight loss, I’m eating enough

Did 30 minutes on the treadmill the day, plus some weights , and squats with resistance bands.

Have an appointment with my psychiatrist over video in about an hour and 45 minutes from now

My trip to Peru got cancelled. I was going with a Church. I'm disappointed and stuff. But there are a lot of demonstrations there right now. Maybe it is for the best. Still bummed though

I get so anxious without the 15 mg olanzapine. I see my psychiatrist down here on Thursday, trying to get in sooner.

Sorry your trip got canceled SK...

My appointment went well. It was quick. She asked how things are going with my therapist with working on the trauma stuff (they work in the same office) and I told her it’s going well , and that talking about everything has helped overall even though at first it was hard and kind of made things worse for awhile. I told her about the weight loss and she asked how I did it and said healthy/balanced eating and exercising, she said that’s really good and is glad I have managed to stop bingeing and am no longer purging etc and she asked if things are still on track for me to go back to college in August and I said yes, asked about the library volunteer stuff, I told her I turned in the application in person to them and called them today, the librarian wasn’t in the office or at her desk when I called this morning, so I have to call back and try again so I can figure out how long it generally takes to hear back about volunteer applications. She said she is proud of me and that I’m doing well and to keep doing what I’m doing. Sent out my refills to my pharmacy and we are meeting again on March 28th

Does anyone else think this question is hard to answer: Do you see or hear things that others don't?

When I was in the hospital last they asked me that. I said how do I know what you see or hear unless you tell me?

Sometimes I have the sense that my hallucinations are not real but other times it is harder. I just wondered how that question is supposed to be answered.

It's a difficult question when you have less insight. I was asked "Have you been hearing voices?" and then I realize, "Yeah, I have been" - But I knew they weren't real and was dealing with worse mental state problems and didn't give them second thought. I was so young too so I didn't realize.
