I feel really nauseous and on the verge of throwing up, not really sure why. I ate so it's not like from not eating enough, I'm laying here with a bucket beside my bed in case I suddenly have to throw up and can't make it to the bathroom on time

"I need to go into the life tunnel. And there? I'll recharge.. Be ready.. For the magnificent colours. I am an insane kamikaze pigeon."

That is what I wrote before ket.

Then I got immersed into internet nonsense - Wasted like 3 hours. I better go to bed.. I hope I only need 9-10 hours of sleep.

Oh, and I was supposed to have a "co-occuring/dual diagnosis" specialist but I saw her like three times since Feb. 2022 and she quit without telling anybody.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful I have this team, but I just wis they were a little more consistent.

I called in and cancelled todays shift. They said that was okay because there are only 3 cats there today so they can just have petsmart employee check on them instead. Anyway, I’ll be back to it next week. I just was up the entire night with severe nausea and have only slept 1 hour in over 24 hours

I’m gonna miss Onyx and ruby this week. (If they’re still there) I hope they got adopted together though (they’re sisters). They’re so adorable and ridiculously sweet. I have really enjoyed seeing them over the past couple weeks. I don’t know if they’ll be there next week or not. Hopefully they got adopted

I’m making velveeta and shells (macaroni and cheese) later and I’m ridiculously excited about it. I’ve been craving Mac and cheese for a couple weeks. I know it’s not the healthiest but it’s so good, the warm cheese

Hey, life is all about balance.

I know that if you’re craving something you should just have it, even if it’s just a little bit. Otherwise you’ll probably end up binging later.

No matter how many carrots you eat it’s not going to fix if you’re craving chocolate, you know.

Enjoy your mac and cheese!

I’m so proud of myself. I successfully restrung my soprano ukulele without snapping any strings when I tried restringing my tenor ukulele yesterday I snapped all the strings because I really didn’t know what I was doing. I found some videos that explain how to do it better and explain how not to tune to high and snap strings.

So my soprano has a nice new set of strings on it and I know how to do it now. I have a replacement set of tenor strings coming today so I’m gonna do my tenor the way it should have been done in the first places. I’m so excited. I honestly thought I was gonna have to take them in to a professional to have them restrung because it felt too difficult and I kept messing up

Saw my doctor just a little while ago. Told him I’ve been doing good. Going out and doing things, going to the gym a lot, and not drinking. He even checked my blood pressure and it was better (it was like 120/86 but now it’s like 110/76 - my normal when I was more in shape was 109/65 so it’s getting there).

He said it’s all good what I’m doing. Keep on doing it. He checked to make sure I wasn’t hypomanic from the escitalopram increase we did last month but we good. Still sleeping well, etc.

He mentioned that I should think about securing myself in a good place especially when winter comes. I get pretty down in the winter being cooped up all the time.

So now I’m at the gym. Arm day!

Good mental state today

I had to clonazepam myself last night, cuz my heart wouldn't adjust to unconsciousness.

Got meds refilled, took out garbage, etc.

One problem is that I just sit there, not knowing what to do... I gotta make plans, goals. So difficult.

But I sat outside, watered the grass, blue sky.. I just have a real problem with doing things, and people don't understand, and get mad at me for it.
Thanks for this!

I ask people.. Why are you doing those things... that you're doing..

Sit and philosophize with me.

Then people get mad at me for just thinking too much.

And I don't even learn in the pattern that normal people do. All information is available, but I don't seek it. I seek novelty, the newest possible thing - Then procrastinate.

And also, I collect things to procrastinate, and make a list (That I can't keep track of, cuz I didn't at the start - It's just an infinite circle of nonsense, weaving through itself). There's something wrong with me.

I "collect things to procrastinate" too. Just pile up goals and then do other things.

I'm waiting on a phone call from someone to find out information on a DBT group I'm supposed to be starting soon, which is good because I have a lot of borderline traits, but I don't actually have a BPD diagnosis because those traits are due to drug use and PTSD. My "replacement dx" is "Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with unspecified psychoactive substance-induced disorder." Doctor speak, eh?

I've got a purring Pemi next to me. He's a happy boy. I'm thinking about volunteering at the animal shelter. Or the library. I was thinking about the park or a farm or a garden, but maybe given I'm on antipsychotics I shouldn't be working hard in humid 90dF weather.

Dawn is the best time of day and no one can convince me otherwise.

Boots volunteering at an animal shelter is a great idea. I volunteer with a program that rescues cats and helps them get adopted. And it’s so fun to go in and see the different cats each week and spend time with them , play with them while I clean their cages and litter boxes etc and make up their little areas with a towel and blanket on top then their little bunk beds. Give them fresh food and water. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming when there’s a lot of cats , like some weeks there’s only like 3, some weeks there’s 12. And it’s a lot to do. But it feels good helping them and they’re so sweet and fun to play with and get to know. It’s a great thing to do and they’re so happy to have someone to pet them and play with them, you can feel that they’re grateful and it feels good, and I’m grateful to them because it helps me and it feels good to be helping these cats, it helps my mental health too. So even though some days may be overwhelming it’s 100% worth it.

Hey, Des, there's an article in my news feed about a single dose of mushroom can fix damaged brain cells from depression. I guess if you don't do it too frequently it's ok.

Here, too (a bit farther east). But the NYC air is bad to start with so I'm glad my friend is here at my apartment.

The mushroom saved me..

Who would I be without that trip? I'd be dead. No doubt.

It caused my ex step dad to win the lottery, and leave the next day. It caused me to move to this beautiful Rocky Mountain place. etc.

I struggle, still.. Just cuz that's who I am/pattern, in this evil patterned world.

I would like to dedicate life to psychedelic research, or be some type of futuristic, technological, scientist-shaman. It will likely happen.

I am thankful.

This is what the pharmacy sees on my prescription file.

I had severe substance abuse disorder.. But most people grow out of it, once they get older.

Most people start using before the age of 25 (Cuz the frontal lobe isn't developed, so it's much harder to make decisions properly). For me, the massive dose of Abilify made it so much worse - I should have sued (Especially since being put on it underage, at 17 years old) ^-
