I forgot my meds this morning and it’s almost noon, I just got back from buying cigarettes so I’m going to take them but I said to myself, (man, I feel really weird)…and then it came to me.

Go figure, my girlfriend is working on the phone so she wasn’t there to help remind me.

Ah well, I’ll take the morning and noon dose now-and wait for the medicine to sit in.

I put my meds in a doset box so can easily see if I have taken them or not. When things get bad my mum fills up the box as I don’t have the concentration/motivation.

Is a good set up.

I have a four box a day pillbox-I just walked by it though this morning instead of taking medicine right when I wake up before coffee. I’ve been sleeping alot and it seems in the morning I want to stay in bed and sleep more-but I can’t. I’m at a heightened sense and I only get a small portion of sleep it seems and I wear a CPAP for sleep apnea.

I’m very sick with so many problems-and I regret having to live with meds but it is what it is.

I rarely forget my antipsychotic, but I have to take metformin 3 times a day and could never remember if I’d taken it or not, so got a pill box. Now I always take my 3 a day.

This is despite me having alarms set set set mobile phone! Hopeless…

I take LOTS of pills and even have an invega shot but lots of pills let’s see what do I take??

ziprasadone
prazosin
gabapentin
doxepin
venlafaxine
invega

I think that’s all I’m taking but I take certian doses multiple times a day, along with the monthly invega shot. I’m really surprised though, because even though I take a huge amount of medicine I’m still driving, mowing, playing guitar, playing drums.

There was a day when I was so sedated and was constantly harassed and tortured by these voices and tactile hallucinations that I couldn’t really get anything done or do anything except rest and ingest sedating pills. I really hated my life back then…

And now a days I have severe anxiety but I try to FORCE myself to do the things that need to be done. Lately, however, my girlfriend has had to nag me to get me going and I’ve been on the forums almost every single day for a week…

I’m unsure if I feel better, same, or worse from it. But I’m procrastinating and it’s noon and I’m still in pajamas. I had some coffee but it didn’t really spur me into action just made me more jumpy and agitated by a current harassment of a committee of voices.

I’m tired, and I may just go lay down. I don’t think I get enough sleep for this stress level I have day to day.
