Roll Call 198

I might delete this but got a haircut! It was down to my tailbone before. Now it’s like around chin length.

Tomorrow I have to go to the pharmacy and then clean my apartment.

Thursday I have to go to the food pantry first thing in the morning. Then I have a Foodstamps recertification interview over phone. Then an appointment with my therapist. Saturday I’m going to the community brunch/clothing room place to get some free clothes because I need shirts and blouses. Sunday I’m going to my friends house to play dungeons and dragons.

Once I have a few months of volunteer experience with this Kitten Angel program I’m gonna put it on my resume and also add my volunteer experience with the shelter serving meals to the community. I have a shift with the shelter next Thursday morning.

I think in 2 months from now I’m gonna apply to McDonalds and some other local places around here. To try to get a part time position.

Also college starts up in September and Im going back part time.

My ultimate goal is by September to be working part time at some place such as McDonalds or whatever is easy to get, still volunteering with Kitten Angels, and doing college part time to finish my degree.

Sometimes we need to let go and have mental breakdowns.

But responsibility is the key to happiness (As far as I know).

Cuz what do I know.. Most of us (Including me) don't know what the hell we're doing here let alone how to follow our dreams.

Learn from the entrepreneur people, and the motivation quotes, the spiritual people, the ones with hidden secrets and reality distortions.

Idk.. Anyway my sister and her bf are cooking dinner.

Struggling again. I asked ChatGPT more questions.

I hate this. I'm so aware. I know a lot more now.. But I still know nothing.

My cousin has wanted to talk to me for a while. I'm having lunch with her tomorrow.

In all fairness, I wish I were dead. I just want to stay awake. But I better get some sleep....

Mom is in the hospital. Went by ambulance on Monday. She had been weak, fatigued/exhausted, dizzy, no appetite etc for like a week. She got so week and she was shaky when she tried to stand up. Dad called the ambulance Monday night. She got admitted into the hospital. My mom is diabetic but doesn't test although she does take medicine. So her blood sugar has been up and down. Blood pressure has been low which is weird as she has high blood pressure normally. CT and MRI were good (since she fell and hit her head on the tile because she was dizzy). Doctors are worried about her kidney function. Hopefully they get it figured out and she can come home soon. I took yesterday off of work and went and visited her at the hospital twice. And had my therapy appointment.

I had a good talk with my cousin - I kind of vented about depression, my mushroom overdose and infinite nihilism etc.. But mostly we talked about family, her exciting things, ate lunch..

It was nice. Now I'm just chillin' out again - The Dexedrine and pregabalin kicked in, so I feel almost completely fine.. I'm awake.

I'll attend to the goals again..
Thanks for this!

I feel depressed. Bummer.

I texted T because I don't know how to self soothe. She basically said it is trial and error until you find something that works for you. I've read through some lists of things to self soothe and none of them sound helpful, particularly when I am at work. This makes SH very attractive!

Feel kind of bummed because T wasn't helpful. Maybe I am never going to get better.

Depression is an evil thing. It wants to suck the life from everyone. Have to survive. Love is an answer to this. Hugs.

Think of it as a parasite. We are stronger. Parasites have to be covered in sea salt.

I’m considering stopping the abilify and Thorazine. I’m sick of the weight gain and I don’t want to wait until my next appointment with my doctor to ask to come off them, also she probably wouldn’t think it’s a good idea. But I think it’s fine.

I don’t want a replacement for them. I just want to get off them. And stay on my Zoloft and trileptal (mood stabilizer.)

I think every time you go off the Thorazine you end up not sleeping. Keep that in mind.

Yeah that’s true, it’s really frustrating. I just want to get back to a weight in the normal bmi range and not be overweight anymore. I’ve been trying to lose weight but it is just stuck at 175 lbs and has been for almost a year. It’s like nothing I do actually makes a difference

BMI is full of **** anyway. Even when I was height of my anorexia years ago and small I was considered obese by the BMI. It doesn’t account for bone structure and muscle mass. I wouldn’t hold too much worth over it at all.

The number on the scale doesn’t matter. As long as you have healthy habits and good lab test results it doesn’t really matter.

Is your doctor concerned about your weight? If not I wouldn’t really worry about it.

I realized I haven’t looked at the toxic anorexia discords in a few days. I haven’t been super worried about food lately either. I’m mindful to not go crazy binging, but I’ve been pretty good.

I feel I’m slowly getting better.

So what I need to do is this!..;

Once I get a little bit tired (And before that, prepare a podcast to listen to), I lie down, and listen.. But not before I become TOO tired/exhausted, that I have no more mental energy, and then end up thinking myself to death (With my own thoughts instead)

Yknow?

And I talked with my sister for an hour, about the thoughts on my mind.. It helped.. She would be a really good therapist.

And I appreciate all of you for putting up with me these past years <3

No my doctor isn’t concerned about my weight

I’m trying to have healthy habits

I need to stop obsessing over it I guess
