My finger is doing good from my cut (I swear I almost cut off the tip of my finger) and I got my stitches out yesterday so I’m hoping to rejoin the gym this weekend.

Good habits!

Me and my bf talked today and we are going to start taking things slower and communicating better now with each other, so things are working out now

I was in mild psychosis - And took 0.5mg of clonazepam ("If your agitated, take those" - My psychiatrist said), a 3mg Invega pill (Since my Invega Trinza injection is soon), 20mg of Dexedrine SR (Afternoon dose), 250mg of phenibut (Didn't kick in yet, but emergency euphoriant) and 75mg of pregabalin (Mood stabilizer).

I know it's a bit much.. But it's the most dramatic change in mental state that I've ever experienced.. Hypomanic in like half an hour.. I really am.. mentally ill..

But all is good - In 10 minutes, I go to work (But I said this is the last day with helping out people in a second job. After today, I'm leaving..).

My dad will visit soon, all will be good.

This is just an example of how meds can be extremely helpful for people that really need them, desperate for relief - From mental torture.

Don't give up. Non of you have given up (Well, maybe many times.. But you're still here, breathing). I see you all, well done - With all of the surviving you guys have done.

Therapy was good. I hope she starts having some suggestions though. I guess she did have one. She said that if I feel like the TV is watching me, to turn it off. I thought it could still watch me. But she says it has to have a power source. So that means that it is possible then, right?

I have moon Saturn in my 12th natively. I think it's the root of my anxiety.

If you unplugged your tv it couldn't watch you, but if there had to be a way, a small battery run camera could conceivably be hidden in the frame of the tv or DVD area. But there isn't. I spent 14 years believing my sadistic stalker was doing that to me, but I was wrong, and I wish I had known that all that time.

He said he supports and respects my decision to stay on meds and that it’s completely up to me and apologized if I felt pressured to come off them. So that’s good.

Anyway we’ve just been talking about stuff. We both get very impulsive and stuff, and deal with similar symptoms due to bipolar , so we’re like doing this thing we’re if we notice one or both of us being really impulsive or doing something that upsets the other we say something about it and discuss it together , and try to be open and communicate well with each other about how we’re feeling always.

Hey SK it’s good to see you, I am glad therapy was good. I think one of the things that helps me with those thoughts is thinking along the lines of “so what if the tv or someone was watching me, they’re not gonna see anything bad or something “ so like that’s how I used to think about it when I got paranoid, that’s how my therapist helped me learn to think about it. So what if they can see? What are they gonna see? Nothing but me watching tv or eating food lol nothing bad. It’s hard to reframe paranoia but it’s possible.

I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t feel as paranoid like I used to about those things. And even when I do get that way again I don’t care enough to worry about it

My therapist said a very similar thing when I was worried there were cameras hidden in the house, and I found it comforting.

My hip is starting to hurt from running. I broke it last winter skiing. I can't get past 8 miles without it acting up. I hope this doesn't affect the hiking season.

Got officially diagnosed with bulimia nervosa yesterday. My therapist is getting special training in eating disorders to be able to help me out better since she said I'm the first person with an ed she's seen (which is surprising because she's not new, but rural area I guess).

Heard some voices last night for the first time in weeks. Was frightening and I immediately took PRN Haldol even though it wasn't that bad. I don't want it to get bad ever again. I don't ever want to go back to the hospital. I want my sza symptoms to stay better so I can work on the bulimia and PTSD.

I am so worn out even though I slept. I think the past few weeks of barely sleeping is catching up with me plus starting the meds again.

I did manage to go to the library today though. I also practiced keyboard for 45 minutes.

My bf and I are gonna play Zelda: Breath of the Wild together while we talk on the phone later today
