My day so far

Lounge
1

I went to the libary today. I printed out 25 resumes and chilled on one of the public computers they have. I got the number and email for the CMHA (Canadian Mental Health Association) will contact them soon. They might be able to help me with my anxiety and panic attacks.

After chilling at the libary for a bit I went around and handed out some resumes. I walked all over the place. It felt good to walk around on a nice sunny day.

About 2 times when I was out today I had what I would describe as a very brief rush of adrenaline or fear. It felt like the start of a panic attack, but it went away within seconds both times.

I didn’t take any Ativan at any point today. I consider that a victory. My doctor only prescribes small amounts of Ativan.

How is your guys day going so far?

I dropped off my new car to get an autostart installed then walked over to my clubhouse. I’m currently waiting for lunch to get finished, then I’ll walk back and pick my car up. It cost $660 but it’ll be worth it to have in the winter. I applied for a mini grant thru the mental health trust to get the car winterized (block heater, etc.) and to get tires for it. I hope they approve my application, it’ll be almost $2500 worth of work and stuff. My day is good so far…

My mom gets panic attacks. She’s had them for years..She gets them now when I leave the house without her. When I first got schizophrenia I got panic attacks at night for no reason. One day they just went away for me. My mom has had panic attacks for 40 plus years. Hope you have a good day today.

I’m sorry your mom deals with that. I don’t think I can last 40 years with them. Its been a bit over 10 years for me and im effing sick of them.

Thanks man! Same to you.

Good things.

Sounds like a good and productive day @TheCanuk and thanks for reminding me! I want to start going to library more to not get so distracted at home. Hey it worked for me in college anyway, haha!

That’s insane. People can die quickly in that cold of weather. I feel bad for the homeless people.

I woke up with a bad hangover. Need to try and cut back on the drinking but its tough. Kinda paranoid, but I went and returned an amazon package to the UPS store after dinner. Its cool here so I should get some good sleep tonight.

It’s been a long time since I last drank alcohol. It really messes with my memory. I would get drunk, wake up the next day and forget most of the previous night.

I had to quit drinking. Makes me go psychotic. Now I have a nice iced coffee to relax.
