It’s like a meatier fish kind of the texture of chicken and it’s not too fishy. It’s good if you want fish but don’t want like a soft fish. Almost similar to a tuna steak.

Thanks SP.

I texted T. We'll see what she says.

I thought about a day off. It can't happen this week. I don't know about next week. Maybe I need one soon. Work has been making me more anxious than usual.

No plans for the weekend. I'm lacking motivation.

SlumberKitty · Mar 16, 2023 at 02:40 PM

Oh yeah, trying some grounding exercises to see if they help.

I bought my friend that I haven't seen for a couple of weeks because she is busy doing emergency management in the snow filled mountain areas these really nice headbands. They weren't cheap but not terribly expensive. I paid about $50 for 2. I gave them to her husband to give to her last night. She liked them but they didn't fit her head so she asked if she can give them to her granddaughter. I am so disappointed that they didn't work out. I really wanted to make her feel special. Rats. I miss her a lot. This bites.

I can't stop listening to music. I have a music brain. It craves and always wants to be dissolved in music.

I’m glad you texted T. One of the things I noted when recovering from psychosis is I had social boundaries set up. Like people expect me to ABC, not take a day off because something was due etc. in the end I ended up in the hospital because I refused to take a vacation day I was entirely entitled to use. Yes people would have been upset that I used the day but it was way worse when I got sick. I always think back to my first episode like if I had just taken a day off this might not have ever even happened because mine was stress based. Just my thoughts.
As far as motivation you can still have awesome plans at home. Maybe set up some time coloring while listening to music and having a favorite snack….if you can’t get there yourself ask for help from family or irl friends…like I really need a cake

or something.

That is disappointing

Found out that fear of going crazy has a name. It's called Phrenophobia. And it looks like it is linked to anxiety--though it can have it's roots in other mental disorders. My anxiety and panic attacks have been out of control, for some reason unbeknownst to me! So I am assuming that is the cause of mine. It helps that there is a name.

T said I am not going crazy. She said I have a severe mental illness and I am going to have ups and downs with emotions and I am going to have ups and downs with coping skills and hopefully this down that I am in will end soon.

I am probably going to take a day or two off of work. I will talk to my Dad tonight and see what is on his calendar (since I don't want to be home by myself) and schedule a day or two off of work to try to recuperate from this darkness.

Yup. So I ordered her something else. But I haven't gotten the order acknowledgement email even though I can see it in my orders on the website and they took the money out of my bank account. I set it up to go directly to her house this time so I hope she gets it. I'm really disappointed that the headbands didn't work out but hopefully it's the thought that counts!

This GIF reminds me of my Zoey. At least I will be off of work in like 30 minutes and she will soon be sitting in my lap taking a nap. She snores! Lol.

I hope you get some better sleep

Hey everyone, going to try to post more frequently, cause I feel extremely lonely here in this city.

WastingAsparagus · Mar 16, 2023 at 07:11 PM

Thought I could 'go it alone' to put it lightly but I cannot.

WastingAsparagus · Mar 16, 2023 at 07:12 PM

I had a kombucha and it made me feel a little drunk. Has that ever happened to anyone here?

WastingAsparagus · Mar 16, 2023 at 07:13 PM

Also I think I need to exercise. I feel overwhelmed.

Typically kombucha because it’s fermented has a low alcohol content. Usually under 5% so less than a beer.

Probably interacted with my meds or something. Idk. Ha. That or I haven't had anything alcoholic for like over a year.

I do, too, Desoxyn. My brain works in that way as well.
