There is always the crisis line, which I think they changed to a three digit number. Stay safe and well!

Thank you! I have Humana. I will look into that. Yea, telephone or Zoom would be good for me.

I feel better today. My therapist didn't respond today so I decided to switch therapists. I found a good one. It took a few tries. She's already responded. I feel like it's a good fit. So I'll see how it goes.

Sounds good, I hope you find a good therapist.

I hope it's ok to say this, that I am so grateful to God for bringing me to you. I am so messed up sometimes, I feel like I'm in an odd world, very strange. But there's this other part of me that seems to know I'm ok & says to hang in there. That something or someone brought me here, & you help me get through a lot. Thank you, dear friends!

I'm a little stressed. I have some difficult chores to handle today. And for some reason, I have a migraine again this morning. My male cat keeps crying. I'm not sure why. I've fed him wet food and dry food. I haven't been able to give him attention yet. I've been taking care of my own needs. One thing he likes is sleeping in the dryer. I think I will warm it up for him. I keep my clean clothes in there. He sleeps on them. I'll try that.

I had a scare last night, but I'm healing from it. I think it's just my mind playing tricks on me. I feel pretty safe and happy at home right now. I took my meds late last night and my sleep patterns have been weird. I did another layer on my watercolor painting. I plan to go to call my boyfriend and meditate still and eat lunch. Maybe I'll read some in my recovery book.

I'm doing okay. I'm kind of depressed today. Probably didn't help that I took a Xanax this morning. It calmed down the rumination, but it is a depressant. I feel like I'm drowning in depression. But other than that I'm okay. Haven't had any hallucinations in a while. A couple of days I think.

I feel a little stressed this morning. I have to clean the litter box again today, and I don't have much energy. I have no motivation. I don't plan to do any other chores today. I'm not in the mood to cook. I plan to order myself some food today. I want to relax as much as I can.

I am hearing voices now. I think it is from the weather change. I am delusional at times too. However, I am still taking my medication. I am ok but the voices are making me a bit insane. I am working still and actually focusing on work helps me to forget about eh voices in my head. Weird! I don't hear voices when I am concentrating on tasks. So, I am working- teaching. I am also applying for an internship as a medical translator. I am translating some excerpts for this position. I hope to volunteer as an intern for a year. I can build my resume and apply for other translation jobs as well. I am doing ok! I am all alone here but am keeping busy. Happy Holidays!

I used some coping skills to calm down and I feel better. I took a nap. No hallucinations while listening to music or from my air purifier (these things cause me to hear things). I have a safety plan in place and I'm going to bed.

I wanted to order a Thanksgiving dinner from Cracker Barrel today. But it doesn't look like that option is available. I guess I will try to cook myself something today. I'm in a good mood. I hope I can find the energy to cook. Happy holidays to everyone!!

[Breaking Dawn]

My voices claim they aren't annoying me & that it's the other way around. Maybe I'm hallucinating.

[~*glass_owl*~]

I had a pretty good day. I saw some friends on zoom. Then I saw family on zoom. I'm still feeling a little paranoid, but I don't want to go to the crisis center, because it seems to be going away rather than getting worse. I'm going to bed soon. Happy holidays!

I'm pretty worked up at the moment. I had a stressful morning with ordering groceries. My groceries were delivered to another apartment. But I was able to get another order free of charge. It doesn't make sense to me. But I was so afraid that something else would go wrong. I've been anxious for a couple of hours now, and even though it's over with, I still can't calm down. Maybe I can try a nap and some meditation. Or cuddling with my cats. I could try a funny movie like Home Alone. I've been wanting to watch it again.

I'm excited about my 25 succulents arriving from amazon (yes bought live plants from the internet). Plus I bought a bigger succulent. I have a greenhouse like apartment, so they'll love it. I talked to my mom earlier today. I was sock skating on the floor when I fell, but I'm not hurt. No symptoms today. I tested about fifty percent for bipolar symptoms yesterday. My moods do feel whacky lately, due to grief, but no different than usual. I feel like I am super cycling and I almost posted in the bipolar thread, but I'm schizoaffective.

[~*glass_owl*~]

I went to work today. That was nice. It was good to see everyone again. That was my entire day.

[Deilla]

I feel overwhelmed today. I've been working on chores and taking care of the cats. I haven't been able to take care of myself yet. I just have too much going on.

[~*glass_owl*~]

I slept last night, I slept all day today, then I stayed up until midnight.

[SlumberKitty]

I'm doing okay. I had an appointment with my T on Saturday. We talked about my hallucinations. She's concerned about some of them because they upset me and she doesn't like me to be upset. She is really quite lovely. I got my Christmas shopping done. Just maybe some charity donations now.

[Deilla]

I'm feeling lonely, sad and bored. I was having so much fun with my new game. But now there's a bug and I don't know how to proceed any further. Playing the game took my mind off my problems. It made me feel like I was accomplishing something. Maybe I will open a ticket or search the forums. I guess it's really time for me to go to sleep.

Hi. Shall try to keep it plain. I haven't been on here in a few years. I think I may have abandoned some of you. I'm not sure who remembers what anymore.

I'm having an episode. I can't call my hospital's crisis line b/c it's completely useless. I am nonviolent.

So, kind of what I'm seeing:
"Faces" everywhere, people (mom and bro) spying on me in their sleep and at work, respectively. They're loud and noisy. We're American citizens so they're bad spies. I don't pretend to be a good one because I don't spy on anyone.

I wonder if I am autistic episodically? Everything is overwhelming and there's too much detail in everything.

This morning was good, now it's ****. What of what I'm not seeing?

I don't know. I don't know how to get help, ever. No intent of harming anyone, fwiw.

Euch.
