Hope it helps you Falcon, I take 3mg of it in the morning. That combined with Trileptal and Seroquel and Paxil has been the best combo for me so far

I should live...etc. eventually you just start thinking that way instead of the negative thoughts or at least 90% anyway. I tend to think hey I’m doing ok but I could do better instead of I suck ya know. Some of the intensity is lost when you stop automatically believing there is truth to the voices....they lie and that’s a fact.
I'm not quite sure what kind of therapy I get from my therapist. We're currently working on goals and such. Like going back to school when I'm ready and hygiene. I can't help what the voices say to me. I hear it 24/7 and nothing gets rid of them. I try not to believe but it's hard. I try to stay calm. Everything is so overbearing.

I took a weed gummy, vaped CBD and now I'm gonna drink some beer. I took my beta blocker cuz my heart is beating fast. I'm thankful for anti-anxiety medication..
Like I said I'm working on it with my therapist. We have a tendency to switch topics a lot and not stay on one thing. She has me confused. I miss my old therapist. She at least stayed on topic and not switched so quickly and didn't quit on a certain topic because it's too difficult.

It can be really tough when you have the voices constantly, I was lucky enough that meds reduced then eliminated them. I’m sorry that the meds aren’t working for you. Sometimes people talk back to the voices and it helps. Like if they say you’re bad you say no actually I’m a very good person etc. Often the negative voices are more like a broken record than a conversation though so they can be hard to talk to.

I’ve been on fire on the blog for the last two days but before that I posted just a flower pic a day for six months...I think it’s the fish oil.

I spent from 9am til now, 7pm not just doing poems but 1 hour for editing the book to Amazon's standards.

It's not ready yet. They are reviewing it and will send me an email when they are done.

Compared to the past, they should review it within the next 24 hours.

Yeah... it's hard to argue with them. Like a broken record sometimes. I've calmed down right now. My stepdad texted me and said he was sorry and he was having a bad day and that he loved me. I still feel like **** but I don't expect it to go away anytime soon.

Does your insurance give you trouble with it? My doc seemed to expect my insurance to be a hassle with it.

Yes, they won't cover it, my doctor got a ton of samples so I'll be good for the next several months while I wait for the prior auth to be approved, and if it isn't then we'll do the patient assistance program

Yeah I don't know why, at least I have it, my doctor's not taking me off it because it works so well, I just have to call and pick up months supply of samples each month until it gets figured out
