  • My mother is psychotic if she seriously believes half the things she says. She has my pity, but she no longer deserves my attention.
    My own well being should be my top priority. I can't take care of others if I don't take care of myself first. It all starts with my personal boundaries.
    My true family is chosen. My blood family is toxic. No more will I hold hope that my blood family will ever take me seriously.

    I spent some time thinking my family would see their mistakes and welcome me back. Now l realized they are trapped in their emeshment patterns, and l was assigned the villain idiot role, which l have disengaged from. My mom is actually starting to treat me like a human being. My brother and his wife are out of the picture now.

    "My true family is chosen" is a line that goes incredibly hard. Stick with that and rock on.
    I will be blunt. I feel like I could use a few kind words this evening.

    I think you're a pretty strong guy, and I hope you remember how far you've already come and what you've accomplished. You can go even further, whatever form that might take.

    Sometimes you get down, but you keep picking yourself back up and carrying on. You have resilience and great strength within.
    I feel like buying a mocha on the way home from work today. Craving chocolate and caffeine. Like a junkie craving his next fix.

    Do you ever find mochas aren't as strong as a regular white americano?

    A very bad combination for me. One I try to avoid. Love one of the other, but never both.
    I want power over my emotions and my kneejerk reactions. The power to keep them all in check.

    Keep trying. So many are now "behind enemy lines" in our own backyard. We must adjust to survive in such an environment.

    A scenario right out of the film. "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers"
    I feel like getting on a plane and going somewhere warm.

    I just want to go on a plane like every other tom dick and harry. Not been on one since Easter 2001 23 years. Get the hell out of NYC for even a few days I am sick of NYC.
    I wish I could go through the rest of my life without having another emotional meltdown.

    It's difficult. I've had issues regulating them, as I've started to discover my deeply buried feelings about alot of things. A day at a time.

    But sometimes we just need to release. Give ourselves a time to grieve. A time to be angry. A time to be happy. Or the emotional pressure cooker will explode.
    I apologize for my drama earlier this week.

    We all will go through rough patches. No big deal. But remember. We have the potential to be our best, when we are at our worst.
    Here is an update. My meds got readjusted a couple of hours ago. I really was frigging crazy the last couple of days. And a lot of that was likely chemical.

    With the mess of the last few days you don't need a medication problem on top of that. Glad you got it situated. The forum needs you & we're all glad you're here.

    Meds gone wrong can be really freaking harsh. Been there before. Have you come down from it a bit, then? Less intense?

    I started my increased dosage of my anxiety meds that my nurse practitioner prescribed. Only for me to have some complications myself. I feel calm. But I felt horrible, like I was sick, when I woke up today.
    My deep depression is driving people away from me. I should start pretending everything is OK and start saving my sadness for my therapist sessions instead.

    I thought you were going to consult your psychiatrist re: medication review.
    Did that happen?
    Or is it scheduled?

    It is scheduled.
    I just want to quit my job and spend my remaining days playing games.

    That does sound nice. You could start a post on what would you spend all your time doing, might be interesting. I love cooking, l love movies, l love writing, specially, character development.

    Seeing as my days alive are numbered, I may as well enjoy what little time I have left.

    Right on that, live your life for you, not trying to pacify or please parents or friends or partners. l have had to relearn that a couple of times over.
    I am going to slow down on my movie buying and save up for Uber rides to social events. Starting right now. All the movies in the world do nothing to ease my isolation.
