Feeling pretty good lately. Roommate got his first car ever, incredibly proud of what he has accomplished in the last year. I'm starting to work from home now. I partnered with Arise via Bluegrass Live Operators and will be working a major cable company, inbound customer service and tech support. I start training at home on the 13th. I'm pretty excited. I've haven't had much symptoms lately so hopefully the schizoaffective is letting up a bit.

It's great when you feel more stable, isn't it? That's where I've been lately.

My (literal) bundle of joy. Got him yesterday. Really love him. For some reason, I can feel most emotions with my dogs.

That's wonderful! So glad for you! He is adorable!

I've been in one hell of a mixed episode, more on the depressed side but I'm still having all the **** that comes with full blown mania like insomnia, racing thoughts, etc. This is ****ing BS.

That's so great! I understand really being able to relate to animals. I'm glad you got him.

Jayne, how precious!! I would love to cuddle up with that little cutie! I'm sure you're having much joy radiating from that beautiful soul.

My dogs bring out my emotional side as well.

So i went and got my monthly shot of Abilify.... things are not right. I was happy and had energy and now I am miserable and zero energy. I was feeling great but now I feel like crap.

Jayne, your new companion is adorable.

Dillpickle, hope you feel sorted out soon...

Today marks exactly one month since I tried to off myself. I am overall doing much better, but still struggle with mildly low mood and anxiety. I really hope my NP calls me back or emails me soon because I ran out of clozapine and I don't want to deal with not having it again.

I'm glad you're doing better. Stay strong!

I did it! I passed the final exam for my work at home job. I did it! And today I was contemplating going to the Psych ER because I was freaking out so badly over the test I had suicidal thoughts. So even though today was trying, I still managed to pass the course. Now I start taking live calls on Monday. I'm kinda scared. I partnered through a company called Arise. I'm still on disability, and only plan on doing this part time for now. Just to give me some spending money. I'm a bundle of feelings right now, part of me wished I failed it, so I could spend some time in inpatient and part of me is happy that I passed. I really need my meds adjusted so I guess I will call my PDoc on Monday. Hope everyone is doing well.

I let my clinic talk me into switching to my primary care physician for meds but my anxiety is through the roof and I feel like I made the wrong decision. I don't know if I can call them back and change my mind because they closed my case.

Edited: dill pickle sorry I didn't mention your post! I just realized I was focusing on myself. I wish you the best of luck. Working from home sounds like a great option.

Checked in, now where's my room? Lol

[Solipschism]

Hello all, new here, just checking in to say hi and wish everyone well.

[Angelique67]

Hello to all the new people here. The roll call thread in the schizophrenia and psychosis forum is a lot more lively. Everyone in the schizoaffective forum is welcome there, too.

I post in both because my pdocs can't agree what to diagnose me with lol.

My Pdoc died of a heart attack. I was sent to my general practitioner. I feel like I made the wrong decision going there, but now the clinic where I used to go has a new Pdoc and a waiting list unless I'm in some kind of urgent crisis. Thankfully, I'm not. My therapist also moved out of town. My GP had bipolar written on my charts, so I mentioned that it was changed to schizoaffective. Now it's listed as schizoaffective, bipolar type, and I didn't correct it. It's supposed to be unspecified type. I only know this because I looked up the diagnosis code on my papers. I had to ask my Pdoc. He never told me. If I ever went back to that clinic I could just tell them I had whatever I wanted and they'd probably put it down. I'm feeling like it doesn't even matter anymore what the label is. I'd like to just erase the whole thing. But I also feel like I have a lack of a safety net now and I worry about the future. The system is a mess.

Apparently I'm in a mixed episode right now so it's a bit hellish. Got a bunch of med changes yesterday so hopefully I'll stabilize soon.

That's a scary lot of changes. I hope it won't impact you badly. Maybe you're more free to look for other pdocs now?
