I’m the same way. I feel like I have to be something I’m not. I come off worse imo cause of it too. We just don’t vibe as easily. It may just be me as well.

Yeh… I just feel like the medication side effects mess with my normie vibe lol.
But I’m still pushing myself gently to live as full life as I can.
It’s a steep uphill road!

Yeah you pretty much summed it up as feeling like you gotta be someone you’re not. Yeah idk after this weekend as far as living more I was thinking about going to more shows. Idk. I’ve had bad experiences. It’s the same ■■■■. Going to bars or hanging out with normal people in groups. It usually upsets me more than anything. There are other things I can do though.

If you can find ways to do fulfilling things, that makes a significant difference.
I guess it’s also about enjoying the simple pleasures of life,
We aren’t here to impress anyone but ourselves 
to do what makes us proud of ourselves
That could be maintaining ourselves too, considering the circumstances, this is a great achievement and we should be proud.

Yeah I live what I call my little life. It’s fun and comfortable and mostly full enough. Could be considered lame and not impressive or something, but as long as I’m ok with it that’s really what matters. I have stories though I guess that are kinda cool. Idk I don’t feel too bad. Would like a female companion, and that could happen some day.

Yeah I’d like some mentally ill chick that doesn’t expect much or has similar goals. Just someone to hang out with. I’ve kinda dated two from day treatment, but it didn’t work out. Our lifestyles line up, but we didn’t at all.

Thx for asking. I am coping but tbh, it’s only because I’m relying on getting 1 to 1 therapy later this year. In fact, it hasn’t even been guaranteed! But is likely, as I do need it.
Starting 2 volunteering roles this week. That will give me some structure.
Got a painting to do for the art group. I want it to be amazing because there’s gonna be an exhibition with our art. N then I can choose to let them hang it up at the mi NHS department so I want it to be striking.
Yeh.
I’m just trying to discover my direction, with baby steps.

Cool sounds like you got a lot on your plate. I feel I’ve kinda settled in my life to a degree. I have enough money, small jobs, family, day treatment, and some friends. I’d just like a relationship. Someone to spend time with. I could even use a non toxic male friend to do things with like disc golf, hiking, or getting involved in something new. Someone to call on the daily with things going on.

My needs are too picky. Nah I just don’t really have anyone to do the things I want to do with. Most my mentally I’ll friends don’t do these things.

Good luck with the assessment 
I like physics, and physiology. And pathophysiology. But I don’t study them in any depth, I just read up and write up random aspects that interest me.
Quantum physics especially regarding physics.
Biology is cool. Are u doing it for fun or would u consider a career linked to biology?
Thx, yes the soup was good because it was kinda thick and creamy

I’ve been in therapy since 2011 with the same therapist. Therapists are kinda pushed on us. We have pretty good mental health resources in my city. I have a pdoc, pcp, therapist, and a care coordinator(kinda a case manager). On top of that day treatment, the staff there, and a peer support specialist that helps with anything that comes up.

Mmhm creamy thick soup is the best. Yeah physiology is interesting.
Thats cool that you read up stuff and write, I think I prefer doing that to studying, usually science books are really well written and authors have a knack of infusing a sense of wonder into thier writing
I was thinking that i would like to be a biologist at first, but its got more critical thinking involved than i like. So i’ll see how it goes and if it gets more interesting…
Quantum physics is pretty interesting.

Sounds like your life has a degree of comfort that’s good.
But finding a way to reach out to new ppl might do u well.
Not sure how tho.
Perhaps ask your day treatment team and your mi team if they could sign post u to some extra stuff u could try out.
And thanku. Yes I’m trying to keep somewhat busy in order not to ruminate too much

It’s all done at the same clinic in my city. The co care coordinator is from my insurance but everything I have access to is pretty much a one stop shop. We have a good system here. Idk what I’d be doing without it all.

I could do volunteer but it’d be a lot with my schedule. I’d like a hobby. Maybe I’ll contact that guy about disc golf. My thing is when I’m not occupied doing my regular stuff I just sit at home alone. Id like to branch out more and do more stuff.

Ah okay, idk wat a biologist does really, but it sounds very sciencey
Yeh I’m sure with time as u discover more in the field, u will come more precisely to a decision that u like 
Yehhh physiology is not bad, that’s part of biology too, yup.
And quantum physics is nice to read up on as its sort of the study of absolutely everything, since they are looking at matter to a tiny size.
There’s several interesting popular theories out there too in that field that have my attention.
Good luck with the clean up.
