because i work, my shrink gives me speed. it makes it possible to actually focus on a game and enjoy it.
You mean amphetamines?
yeah, dexedrine. in addition to allowing me to work, they make me feel halfway human. well worth getting back in school or getting a job for.
I need to find a med like that. I have too much anxiety when it comes to leaving the house.
Yes we are the toughest peoples on earth.sz is on the top 10 disease inside the thousands and thousand disease and we are dealing with really nasty side effects of medicine and nasty symptoms of our disease.so i m proud(kind a).not everyone can resist this disease

I go to school, visit my kids on some weekends. We go to the movies, the mall and out to eat. During the week, I spend a lot of time at Starbucks journaling and drinking coffee. I want to work PT and go to the gym but I just havenāt found the energy to do that. Before I was MI, I had a Rx for Adderall for ADHD. It really helps a LOT. It helps with energy, focus, motivation etc. My new pdoc wonāt prescribe it. It increases dopamine which can be bad for psychosis. I miss it though.
I need more of a life.

Work 40 hours a week for 5 days a week, when Iām not doing that, I try to hang out with friends, or Iāll be online.
I also like drawing but havenāt had a lot of motivation for it the past while.
Oh, I also love to learn a lot of things, especially in the way of science (mostly psychology/mental health).

I go to school from 830 to 330 five days a week. I graduate next month though so changes are on the way. I walk the dog and eat dinner after school. The rest of the time I spend with my wife watching tv or just talking.
On the weekends I catch up on all my chores. We just moved so I have been unpacking and setting up the new house.

Iām a writer, blogger, and social media manager. All that sounds really fancy but I have intense social anxiety and canāt leave the house half the time unless my boyfriend is with me. I donāt make a lot of money. Iām living with my boyfriendās parents for a few months. I have never been able to keep a job so I work from home and Iām building my client base but mostly I just argue with myself about my delusions and tell myself to stop being bored. I keep myself occupied with busy work but I feel so sad and unsure inside. Like, is this all there is? Sometimes the world is magnificent, but most of the time, I just feel numb and disconnected from this world and everyone in it.

Got up at 5 am. Pushed weights. Showered. Read for a bit. Went to work at 8 am. Finished work at 5:30 pm as I had some files to close out. Doing some work on a volunteer project until 8 pm. Going to watch Dr. Strange then hit the sack. Off tomorrow, so doing taxes and yard work. And housework. And maybe play my keytar for a bit.
Kind of tired and stressed right now. A co-worker resigned this week and ALL of her workload landed on me. I already have one and a half workloads. Justā¦gawd.

[grabs flask and tries to get time out of the air]
Trying to put time in a bottle since they say it heals everything.
Why? Do I look like a cat or something, lol?
But seriously, I just work, take one college class at a time. I take care of my business, like doctor appointments, SSDI appointments, dental appointments. I live in a board & care home and I talk to people here. I am friendly with the cashiers at the 7-11 next store and I go there at least twice a day. I do my errands. I have one friend, we meet at the University near me and shoot pool among the college kids. Or visit museums on campus. I talk to my family on the phone weekly. I take short walks. For socializing, I talk to the soldiers in the office building on an army base that I am a janitor at. I also talk to my roommate every day. I make us both laugh and we help each other out sometimes. I could be doing a lot more and I am working on it.

Typical day and still did not get nearly enough done, still falling behind, with everything
Iām stuck in limbo with my job on medical leave from pneumonia, thinking I wonāt go back, so my days are filled with anxiety about where i will get money from.
in between anxiety fits i feed and play with cat, make a sincere effort to clean the house in some way, look online for work and apply to those that donāt test for cannabis, play online pool, text my only friend, text my mother for money, wait for replies, get feelings of abandonment if texts not replied toā¦
My new hobby is trying to lose weight. I ate ALL home-cooked foods today, so thatās a big plus! Also shadow boxed and took my usual long walks. Cereal for breakfast, then I made salmon for lunch with a salad, and then had 3 small, home made tacos for dinner. Trying to get health conscious to lose about 35 pounds. Was about 215, now Iām 190 after pneumonia, and still losing since now I am healthy enough from the pneumonia now to work out and cook for myself. hoping to find a source of income and pay for martial arts so i can lose more weight.
