Yes, thank you! It was brave of me to try. Now I am sure of what to expect. That makes it easier to know how to react going forward.

I am doing Okay today. I had a little rough patch but I think I am making it through. Hope everyone is well today!

I'm doing well. I woke up late today. My student did not show up for class again. It is ok because this is the last lesson. I don't want to teach on Sundays anymore. It is a waste of my time! However, I'm doing well. I isolated myself for one week but went out today for food shopping. I am doing great! I cleaned the apartment and am now doing my wash.


Tomorrow, I will try to look nice again. I have been wearing my glasses these past two days because I am lazy. But, I will try to look good tomorrow. I have a new student tomorrow too. I will do my best!

I feel fine!! I took my medication this morning. I slept a lot so feel well. Then, I walked a bit outside and up the stairs.


It is hot and humid here! I sweat when I go outside. Fortunately, I have an air conditioner and a fan inside. I feel cool inside.

I'm doing well and thank my blessings! I am grateful for all that I have. I feel really blessed and am really thankful for my job, my health, my apartment, my clothes, food, etc.

Life is swell!!

I am doing well tonight. I just woke up from a nap. Sleep always resets me. Now I feel excited to get some more stuff done.

I'm doing well. I am just focusing on working and am doing well. I exercise most days too and will walk tomorrow again to the store to buy food. I am feeling fine. I have new students and did not receive any complaints again. I really like my job. However, I'm thinking of going into real estate here by becoming a real estate agent. I have to pass the test here in the country's language which could be very difficult. I used to be a salesperson before a long time ago and liked it. I am thinking about doing this because teaching here is a dead-end job. I passed the highest level in the country's language proficiency test already. So, I just need to brush up and focus on this exam. I thought about being a real estate agent in the usa too but the requirements are much more than here. Here, I can take the test without any experience in real estate. This does not mean it is easy. It is a very hard test and not many people pass it. I will buy the books for it later this month when I get money. I am looking forward to doing this. I like my job a lot but realize I can't do it for thirty more years. So, I need to change jobs soon. The company I'm working for is ok but there are no benefits. So, I have to be realistic about my future. I am happy for now. I have much to do although I teach less than 20 hours a week. I have to prepare for my lessons and this takes a lot of time. It is ok because I like this job. I am doing well because I take my medication each morning, exercise, and eat somewhat healthy. I also sleep a lot. I am really grateful for what I have. I can't believe I am supporting myself on my meager income. Hopefully, I will be able to earn more as a real estate agent. I will try my best!

I'm doing ok. I completed some goals & have plenty of others I'm trying to fulfill, one at a time. It's really hard sometimes, but overall I seem to be strong enough, & I'm in a good mood much of the time, thank goodness.

I have been doing well. I work on music every day. So much so that I don't hear my voices anymore. I just hear humming and melodies. A lot of the time it's a melody I'm working on. I would rather hear music than nonsensical voices. So I am very excited about this new development. Hope every one is well!

I'm doing ok, transitioned to a new antipsychotic, Latuda. Only side effect, if any is a mild anxiety leading to moderate insomnia. My delusional symptoms aren't there anymore.

I'm having a little difficulty this morning. Maybe some more reading of Tony Robins' book will help.

I'm doing great! I walked outside although it is hot and humid. I also walked up the stairs. I am feeling fine these days. My prep work is going well. It was really slow at first but now is going faster. I sleep a lot still though. I like sleeping. I have been isolating myself and staying at home. I work online so have some contact with others. I am happy. I try to keep a routine. I think it is helping. I take my medication in the morning. Then, I put on my makeup. Afterwards, I start working online. I have breaks during the day which really help. I don't feel too stressed. I feel great!

Also, nobody has been complaining about me so far. I am happy about this. I will get paid at the end of the month and will buy my books for the real estate exam. I want to take it in two years. I like my current job although there are no benefits. It is just a job but I am grateful for it. I can pay my bills and eat what I want. I am satisfied.

I am healthy too. I don't drink nor smoke. I eat some what healthy too. This helps a lot. I sleep well too. Exercising has helped me to gain more stamina. Before, I was really tired all of the time. Now, I feel more invigorated.

My only vice is I like a man who is far away. He may come to visit me. I am not sure he can due to covid-19 though. May be later in the year, he will come.

I am doing well. I feel excited about a couple of projects I'm working on. Today will be mainly relaxation. I plan to read some motivational books. I might order something nice to eat. I deserve a treat. I want a burger in a lettuce wrap. We'll see how the day goes. Hope everyone is well!

I am really exhausted but had two days off from work. I slept the entire time almost. I feel better but have to work again tomorrow. I am doing ok again. There is nothing like lounging around in a nightgown and just being myself without any interruptions. I will go out tomorrow and walk again. But, these last two days have been wonderful. I like resting. I feel grateful that I am independent and free. But, I need to work and continue working. I hope to buy my books next week. I will see if I can read them first. I am happy overall with my life now. I am staying away from trouble by focusing on work and myself. I have been taking my medication in the mornings. Life is ok!

I am doing like crap lately. I need to quit graduate school I think. I just switched to a new antipsychotic, though, so maybe that'll help.

I had a busy day. Unfortunately, I got really sad this evening. I felt lonely. But I ended up reading in bed with my cats. That helped a lot. Now I'm just trying to get tired for bed.
