I just got back from doing some errands, apparently my p doc didn’t pre authorize my invega so all I have left is one pill for one day… I asked him weeks ago to please pre authorize it and he never did, ****! This sucks, to make matters worse my OCD is acting up today. Anyways, I went to the store to buy some folgers coffee, since I ran out of it. Bought ingredients to make food. Well anyways I got to remain stoic everything will turn out ok. So the rest of my day consist of drinking coffee and surfing the internet, like always LOL. What are you guys up too?

I hope you get your meds sorted, that sucks! Your pdoc shouldn’t have been so unresponsive! You gave him more than enough notice!
Just having a quiet day reading and playing on the computer. I did my volunteer work yesterday and will go back tomorrow. Today is just chilling.

@anon39736208 Yeah I know, he is very busy but I mean it is my health and he is the professional, so hopefully he gets my pre authorization. Thank you I will, hopefully they get to me quick so I can start taking them again. How was volunteering? That is good hope you have a good relaxing day as well.
@anon4362788 I was on it but I decided to get off it thanks to peer pressure from my mom, so now I regret that choice so they put me back on it. I’m slowly going back up so I can start taking the shot, Imo I love the shot. Same here Invega is a miracle drug for me.

@anon97970229 I love my volunteer job. I work twice a week for a hospice office. I’ve been there two months now and I fit in really well. They even gave me my own inbox! I feel privileged. The other volunteer office assistant doesn’t have her own box and she’s been there eight years. Volunteering is my way of getting used to being in an office again while I look for a full time job. I’ve been looking since April, have had two interviews so far but neither of them worked out. We’ll see what happens.
Hopefully something comes through soon. I’ve been reading up to 12 hours a day, which is a LOT, but I would rather be earning more money than I get on disability. I feel like I’m better now, I’m ready to start working, so I’m impatient to move on. My pdoc won’t clear me for a retail or front office job, so I am looking for work as an accounting clerk. I can be an admin assistant too, as long as it’s not reception. I can’t handle being the first line of contact, it freaks me out.
Have a great day! Enjoy your relaxing time!

Awesome, that is amazing. I read an article I can’t remember what it said but I understood it said volunteering is healthy and is very healthy! Especially hospice care. Wow I can tell you love books, or is it work related? Man I hope you get cleared for work, I’m also trying too. Anyways you too @anon39736208 have an amazing day.

@anon97970229 I really recommended volunteering. It is a very good way to build confidence in yourself and to learn how to interact with other people. I’ve been isolating so intensely for the past four years that I was kind of afraid to try to get back into the working world, but I’ve been fine. I do two four-hour shifts per week and I really enjoy it.
I do read a lot since there’s a lot of hours in the day to kill when I’m not comatose on Haldol anymore. It is personal, not work related. I don’t want to get flagged so I will just say I read spiritual material. I am getting a lot out of it and enjoying my time, but my husband and I have been mostly living from paycheck/disability check to check. I can earn about $10,000 more a year working than I collect on disability. Now that the Zyprexa has me in a high functioning place, I am ready to move on with my life and rebuild my savings account.
Good luck with your own job hunt! It’s hard to be patient, but it’s important that we find the right placement so we can be successful.

@anon39736208 I’m considering it in all honesty, I think I will soon. Yeah we aren’t meant to be isolated, we are social creatures. That is good you are volunteering it really helps the mind.
I wish I could read as much but I end up re reading things because I feel like I missed out. Sometimes I read many books at once because I’m so curious, LOL but that isn’t very productive I assume, I need more discipline, but that is my layman opinion. What is yours?
I think eventually in life I will be ready. LOL, today I think I got fired, my boss sounded mad and said, okay dude I won’t call you anymore… Soooo yeah
I didnt have anything planned. But I ended up going to applebees by myself and to goodwill. I didnt find anything good at goodwill though.

I’m just killing time between now and two months from now when I move. After that I can start socializing and get my life moving forward again. Right now I’m kinda isolated and at a stand-still while the days pass.
Usually that means lots of forum time, YouTube, and maybe some video games.

That is good. Hopefully it works out, I know socializing with schizophrenia, for some, is hard. Hopefully you enjoy the free time, dude!

Are you feeling better now? I know you said it was a rough day.
For tomorrow, I am going to wake up early and learn my mother tongue until it gets boring, then do a game development course, learning how to make an educational game teaching that language (Punjabi.) Going to spend the last third of the day programming that game.
I will keep doing this until a full game pops out.
Oh, just saying, you should probably cut down on coffee, it isn’t doing your symptoms any favors.
