What are you doing today?

Nothing, hopefully.
My mother in law’s dialysis machine malfunctioned last night so we have to do a manual exchange at some point today,
But I plan on letting her do it on her own.
She needs to learn how to do SOMETHING for herself.
Anyway,
I don’t plan on doing much today aside from maybe some laundry.
How about you?

What’s a manual exchange? I’m not doing anything today. I hope you get the machine fixed soon.

It’s a dialysis exchange that you do using gravity instead of a machine.
Something you would do if the power went out or something.
Because her machine effed up, we have to do one today to compensate.
It’s a pain in the ass because it takes about 45 minutes and is labor intensive.

here in Lake Tahoe at the family cabin.
Gonna go to an Old western style mining town, now turned tourist spot with character actors, costumes, horses, shops, food, drinks, etc
I actually was on a team of ghost hunters who were investigating the old playhouse in the village.
Maybe a nice dinner tonight, I know of a great Greek restaurant here in town. They do an amazing duck fesenjen.
Wishing you well leaf! Hope your day goes well. Anything fun planned?

Please do something nice for yourself today too, you’ve had a lot on your mind the past week or so, you deserve some spoiling.

Wow, thanks. That gives me an idea. I have a new cucumber peel off mask I’ve been wanting to try. Maybe I’ll do that today. And it’s bath day today so that would work out perfect. Thanks llama dude!

I’m having an episode. Any suggestions? I’m feeling a lol paranoid and maybe delusional.
I know I’ve been needy, lately. I’m sorry about that.
I’m going to try to get through this, today.

I suggest you go to the hospital if you feel like you can’t handle it.
If not,
Do you have a PRN or a way to distract yourself?
I play video games when my symptoms get bad.

This may sound strange, but I’ve not had an ipod. How does it compare to a computer?

I was raised by an entire tribe of very strong minded independent women. Business owners, graduate degrees, never needed a
Man.
Grandmother, mother, aunts, and all their friends. They all left an impression on me. Tried to teach me kindness. Teach me what a good man looks like.
I failed them for many years with my behavior, but they never turned on me, still believed in me and the sweet young boy they still saw.
I’ve only regained that in the past 8 years.
I was a bad boy, I admit that, But I’m trying to be a good man, and not let my tribe down.

Somewhere quiet and calm, soothing music, some form of distractions, PRN, someone you trust to reassure you.
These things normally work well for me.
Wishing you some relief trish!

@JustTrish I’m sorry you’re struggling. I don’t have much advice for paranoia. I don’t suffer from it usually. I know when I’m being delusional but I’m aware of it I just keep doing self talk that it’s not real and that seems to help. Talking myself out of it and keeping myself calm. Also I take my prn. Do you have a benzo. Now might be a good time for that if so.

I’m not going to the hospital. I usually distract myself smoking, but I quit some time ago. I come here, sometimes, when I’m having an episode.
It helps to interact with peers. Only I cant be around irl
Friends because it’s too stressful.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I appreciate it so much!
