I went to the SSA office with my program manager to turn in my pay stubs from work, update my address (for some reason it had my old address) get a benefits award letter, and get a password for my social security account so I can log in and submit my pay stubs online from now on instead of having to deal with going to the office in person. So all that was taking care of in one visit. Next week I find out how much my rent stipend gets decreased due to working part time. So then I’ll have a better idea of my finances.
I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on Thursday and he is going to give me a letter so I can become my own payee instead of having my sister as my representative payee. So I’ll be managing all my finances on my own and everything will be in my name from now on. My work schedule was posted. Still working Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays I’m volunteering with the cat rescue organization. I’m gonna make chili today in the crockpot as soon as I can motivate myself to get up and dice an onion and brown the beef in the skillet. That’s really all I have to do. Everything after that just goes into the crockpot and cooks by itself. Should be a good amount of meals out of that. I’m interested to see how it comes out. I can’t remember the last time I had homemade chili, it’s been so long. My mom used to make it a lot and it was amazing but I never made it myself before. My bf has today off work so we’ll probably watch some shows and play some games together later today. I really don’t have anything else going on today. Getting all that Social security stuff taken care of is a huge relief. I already paid for my violin lesson for Sunday. Other than that this weekend I’m gonna thoroughly clean my apartment because it desperately needs it. And I’m gonna put up my Christmas tree. Enjoy the weekend then back to work Monday. I’ve been pretty lost and not sure what to do with myself this past week and a half off work, it was nice the first couple days but lately I’ve just been bored out of my mind and trying to find ways to occupy myself and not knowing what to do with all this time on my hands. I actually don’t like it. I appreciate my time off more when I’m working. When it’s like a day or so. Not a whole week and a half. I got used to being productive and having a sense of purpose and belonging. It will be nice to be back Monday. I know it’s still gonna be stressful af especially because it’s the holiday season and it’s retail but I kind of like the challenge in an odd way I guess. I don’t like feeling stagnant in my life. But anyway, the fitbit should motivate my to be active. Any time I’ve had a fitbit in the past my general physical activity (steps etc) has gone way up because seeing the numbers on my wrist motivates me like nothing else can. And I got my water bottle, so trying to drink more water. Start prioritizing sleep. Hygiene, meditation, etc.

I’ve been stressing about money. Debt. Maxed out credit cards. I’ve been slipping. Cutting my spending a lot now. Payday today so I got some payments out. Feeling a little less stressed now.
But I feel mentally unfocused. Impulsive. I want to cut my hair, go shopping, get drink, self harm. But also do nothing. I feel a little depressed. Doctor said I should try to work on hobbies. Going to the gym, crocheting, and video games. It’s hard to focus though. But I’m trying. Going to go to the gym tomorrow. It’s customer appreciation day there so idk might be too busy. Maybe go really early before the crowds. I might get my mom to cut my hair for me. I have been feeling like cutting my hair for a while now. Bangs and a Bob. Then when I save money I can dye it purple. Just trying to make it through the day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Good day today =] I said the thing to my boss (When she asked "hru?");
And then she talked to me for a while with her friend, about my Z Fold 3 phone. It wasn't busy, so I left a little early. Daughter/Server showed me funny things on her phone. I came home, my dad has left.. I gave him a hug goodbye this morning. I put the mattress away, showered, etc.. All regular things. I then smoked a flower gum to make me feel good and mellow. |

I might be in psychosis not sure. But I don't really care. The damage has been done, as I have explained for many decades on here (Lol) - No but seriously.. It's too late. All I need is my soul to be freed. And I will fight endlessly, for eternity.. To free my soul. Even after all my bones fall from the burning sky, rearranging into a heart shape - Black and burnt, the blood from my suffering will drip onto it, like red paint, from hell. Onto the structure of my stubbornness, and what I feel deeply. Radiating and echoing, throughout the universe, for unintentional revenge and pure love.

No guys don't mind me.. What am I doing..
Damn it... The suffering doesn't end though. I just don't see things going good. Because I react badly to what has happened. I have PTSD not schiz or anything. It's true though... |

I'd love to have a normal stable life, but instead it seems I'm trapped in a nightmare that never ends and I keep thinking it's going to end soon. I start a new business, and sure enough every freaking time I find another business idea that seems better. I never finish anything!! If only I could be financially free.
Right now I'm getting close to maxing my credit to $7000 but hopefully I'll start making money in my business. The $7000 debt will surely force me to stick with this business plan to the end. So far it's working. I'm staying on track. My sister calls about once or twice per month and keeps telling me I need to give up on my dream of being my own boss and get a job at walmart or something. Even my sister likes my latest business idea and says it's the best one so far but then she immediately says get a job at walmart. Maybe I'm just fooling myself, but it's my decision. It's do or die to the end. |

I miss being by the fire. When it all ended. In 2017. Listening to The War on Drugs.
And when it all began, fizzing out to the here and now. The embers rise into the cold winter sky.. And burn out with my dreams wished upon the stars. |

I too did laundry. No machine here so clothes are soaking in bag of warm water now.
Yesterday was one of those horrible days where bad luck explodes everywhere. It makes me feel like I'm imprisoned like a rat by entities who are experimenting and tormenting me or who feed off pain. Sometimes I get visions and deep feelings of knowingness about that. But it's unhealthy to think about such things. Life was best in my 20s. I had a friend, a good job, didn't have unhealthy beliefs about my reality. I actually felt a little bit normal. My advice for everyone is to never ever allow yourself to start philosophizing about the nature of reality! Just wish I had a friend. Life is too lonely and terrifying. Giving today another chance only bc for now I'm too afraid to go to the forest and fade away. |

You too, dear Desoxyn. It only got worse for me. I thought for sure I'd figure out my reality, and there were plenty of times that seemed to happen, but it never lasted. Over all on average the more I learned about my reality the darker things got. It just led to more questions. There's a happy balance to everything. Philosophizing with friends every so often seems healthy. Becoming obsessed with it and taking it to the extremes was the worst thing for me. Don't get me wrong, taking the academic approach with the academic community seems fine. It's the lonely extremist path I strongly caution against. |

I told my mom about the really dark thoughts, and misunderstandings, reality etc.. She reassured me - Then I saw this post, relief - I took phenibut, lied down for 2 hours.. I got up again, better.. I need to tune everything down.. Just it's gravitating, like a moth to a flame as well.. But all things will be ok. Manic psychosis (Positivity? Ok, I guess that's not just being positive), or psychotic depression (Negativity.. I think that's pretty much as negative as can be..).. But anyways.. All good. I'll keep trying. |

I wanted to philosophize with friends so badly as a kid.. But it only happened like twice, for 5 minutes =[
My dad though (Especially when he drinks, and tells stories), holy crap.. He's a real nut (No offence to nuts - I'm just saying this cuz he's my dad). |

Well not things are negative.. But things can get dark.
People warn me of many things.. But I curve ever so slightly around them, and do it in an unknown way... That is my life. But I appreciate you all very much. |

I have to get back to putting in at least 14 hours per day work. Out of frustration I've been taking long breaks past few days because of sudden streaks of bad luck. When it rains it pours.
