Well well well. Today was interesting that’s for sure. Had tons of huge orders for huge garage doors, lumber, had to lift 800 lbs of concrete in 8 separate 100lb bags. It was a lot to deal with. It’s a little overwhelming to say the least. I just got home and took a shower. I’m so sore. My feet are swollen and painful and my back hurts. I put some biofreeze gel on my back and feet. It’s like an icy hot type of gel for pain. Idk how long this job will last or if I’ll be able to physically keep up with it. I’m gonna try. But we’ll see. It’s a lot.
I got a $10 tip from a customer today for curbside pickup. I used it to buy some drinks from the vending machine because I was sweating and walking for almost 8 hours straight. I got over 20,000 steps in today. __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

I work 39 hours next week. Which is a ton. I’m gonna have to talk to them after next week about lowering my hours down to about 25 because I can’t be making over a certain amount or it’d affect social security.
I can do one week like that but the rest of the weeks will have to be lower to make up for that. 39 hours is like an hour below full time and I’m part time and they said the position was 25 hours a week __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

I was able to do some stuff on my own unsupervised at work yesterday. I know I wasn’t perfect but I’m learning. That’s what the first couple weeks are for anyway, learning and asking questions.
I lifted three bags of 80lbs each of concrete. So 240lbs total. By myself. I’m not trained yet to use the power equipment so I have to ask for help when I need to get stuff that’s unreachable on top stock by a regular ladder. Once I get certified on the power equipment it will save time cause I won’t have to go searching for people to help me that are certified. __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

I have work tomorrow from 2pm to 10pm. Then I get Wednesday off. I work Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It’s going mostly well, I did take a sick day today because I got zero sleep last night and I figured I wouldn't be productive at all if I was there and I might have had to go up on a tall ladder and that’s not safe on no sleep. I’m not getting in the habit of calling out though. That was the first and last time unless I legitimately get sick at some point like in the winter. I’m just gonna have to get my sleep back on track.
I have bruises all over my legs and arms from lifting 80lb bags of concrete, lumber, garage doors, tile, dealing with pallet jacks etc at work. Thursday and Friday are gonna suck because I have to head to the bus stop at 4:45am cause I start work at 6am those days. Which means I’ll have to get up by 3 at the latest to get ready and eat breakfast. I’m still doing my volunteer job too with the cat rescue but on a fill in basis now because my work schedule. I’m doing mostly good. My mood is good. A little anxious. I have something anxiety provoking to deal with tomorrow morning before work. Other than that I’m good. I’m taking my meds everyday Im also gonna go grocery shopping tomorrow because I really need some food in the house I’m out of literally everything. I have a few eggs and a biscuit leftover and that’s it. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist next Tuesday. Shouldn’t be any changes. I’ve been on the increased dose of abilify (30mg) a month now and it’s going well. My other meds stayed the same. Still waiting to get an appointment with a new therapist since mine died a couple weeks ago. __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

I went grocery shopping. Got everything on my list. I have work tonight from 2pm to 10pm. I was looking at who was scheduled today and it looks like I’ll be alone from 6pm to 10pm??? I hope that’s not the case because I still do not 100% know what I’m doing. They’re crazy if they think it’s a good idea to leave me on my own for 4 hours on my 3rd day. There’s gotta be someone there anyway cause I probably get my lunch break around 6pm and it’s an hour lunch break. Hopefully someone else is there in fulfillment cause I can’t do it all on my own yet. Basically my work day is 8 hours today but it’s only really 6 hours 45 minutes of work because I get a 15 min break and an hour lunch break.

I'm still here. Doing well. I got social security straightened out so I don't have to be worried or stressed about that anymore. I did have to leave my job because they were giving me way too many hours and I didn't want to risk it messing up my social security when I just got it fixed,
I'm just focusing on volunteering and stuff now. I feel pretty good on the increased abilify. My meds now are: 1500mg trileptal 30mg abilify 100mg zoloft 100mg thorazine My mood is good. I'm a lot less unstable than I was a month ago. I'm still feeling a bit impulsive but am working on that. I was like dysphorically manic for awhile, and THC was making it a lot worse especially my paranoia and at one point psychosis. I'm trying to live a stable life now. Where I take my meds every day, go to sleep every night, do self care, etc and stay away from recreational drug use. I thought I could like do it in moderation but even the tiniest amount can send me straight into mania and psychosis so it's not worth it. I met my new therapist last week, she seems very nice. I still miss my therapist I had for 8 years that died recently though. Anyway, I'm still volunteering with the cat rescue. So I have that going on still. I am resuming violin lessons this month since my finances are back on track. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on Tuesday. I don't think we'll need to switch the trileptal to lamictal because I seem to be doing well on the increased 30mg of abilify. So that's probably not necessary. Hoping to stay on this combo for a very long time, forever if possible. I've been through so many med changes throughout my life, I'm hopeful that this is the one that I can stay on for years. I wish I could just be on one or two meds but he said that's not possible in my particular situation. So I just have to accept it. __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

Hey all, haven't seen a lot of you in a while here, but I wanted to reach back out because, well, I wanted to. I was recently psychiatrically hospitalized for a while so that was part of the reason. And just read an article about how finding support groups is good. So that's good. I suppose so.

I also taught a class on Friday, so I'm pretty proud of myself for having done that because I got out of the hospital on Monday of last week.

I worry about what my neighbors think of me sometimes. I wonder if they think I listen to music too loud. I ruminate a ton. I wonder if that's part of the reason I have depression or rather a depressive diagnosis. I don't know. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I had a therapist once say that rumination actually serves a function. I had trouble believing it.
