    This is so hard

    My original worker for independent living support is coming back soon. There was just fill ins all summer long. No one told me to take a shower. No one told me to clean. It was great. But my original worker is coming back from her break and she will be cracking the whip. In a way I'm relieved...

    Feel like running away again.

    It might just be pms. But I feel very frustrated right now. I can't work because of my mental illness and all the side effects of my medications. So I'm stuck on independent living support. It feels like living in a group home in your own apartment because there is always someone there to baby...

    Problems with hoarding

    This hasn't become a problem quite yet but it could become one. There are lots of places in my town where you can get free stuff. Like when I go for my depot injection there is a food pantry there and you can get a bag of groceries every time you go for depot. I don't see that part as a problem...

    Very uncomfortable

    On Wednesdays I have been meeting up with someone who works with autistic folk. I was really happy how the last session went. Thought it was helping me make progress. But lately I haven't been sleeping well after my last appointment. Had weird waking dreams one night followed by voices keeping...

    Some more paintings I did when I was young

    I think I was 12 when I did the last one

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    My doctor prescribed me b12 supplements. B1000 to be exact. It’s giving me mild diarrhea. I stopped taking it for a few days and my diarrhea went away but my tiredness returned. I’ve also been experiencing anxiety and moodiness. Felt great when I was taking the B1000. I know you can get b12 from...

    A year and nothing has changed

    I still fantasize about running away. I still want to give up and live in a group home. I know there would be challenges. Based on how the other tenants are, sleep schedule, shower schedule… that would be hard for me if they wanted me to shower in the morning because that’s when I go number 2. I...

    I did something stupid

    I have schizophrenia and I smoked pot to self medicate. People here warned me not to but I didn't listen. I started hearing voices every night a while back but I could still sleep. Then they started to go away. But I had been feeling numb and depressed for some time so I decided to self medicate...

    I’m going nuts

    Today is a storm day, tomorrow is high winds and snow as well as the next day. I’m worried the power will go off and my food will go bad. It’s been a hard winter. I can’t take it anymore. Been inside too long.

    Still not over this

    It’s been three weeks since I had norovirus. I cleaned my apartment as best I could. It could be still going around. Today I went to Wendy’s and used the washroom. There was water on the floor close to the sink and toilet. Not much mind you but I’m worried I walked into a bathroom that...

    I’m scared

    So I had norovirus in January. It was horrible. I couldn’t eat for days. I’ve been reading a lot about it. It lasts on surfaces for weeks. It lasts in still water for years. Hand sanatizer doesn’t kill it. You are only immune for 6 months. You are not immune to different strains of the virus...

    Why don’t I want to do anything?

    This goes for basic things too like cleaning. I don’t mind cooking so much anymore it’s just I find cleaning so hard. I also don’t like doing activities that stimulate the mind like reading, writing, sketching, cross word puzzles etc. All I like doing is go out to eat then excersize to my music...

    Just getting over norovirus

    I’m still weak. At least I’m eating again. It’s been 6 days since this started. I’m supposed to take risperidone. It makes me constipated. I’ve gone 6 days without restoralax. Feels like I have constipation a little bit but not much. I’ve been having loose watery stools still. I wonder if it’s...

    I am just getting over an ear infection

    I'm not sure what to do. It says you aren't supposed to get water in your ear even after you have an infection for 6 weeks! But the independent living support program I'm under requires you to bathe frequently. I'm just getting over this ear infection but I did something stupid today. I shoved...

    Sometimes I'm not sure how to cope

    I haven't showered since Sunday. I haven't brushed my teeth in 2 days. I feel gross but also burnt out. I don't feel like cleaning myself. Christmas is stressing me out. I wish I didn't have staff for independent living support tomorrow. I might honestly cancel and do other things myself. I'm...

    I'm always hungry

    I guess it's my fault. I exercise for a few hours daily. It burns a lot of calories. I'll eat a big meal before bed and still wake up starving. I had a burger with two patties for lunch. That was at 12 pm. It's almost 4 pm which is too early to eat for me. But I'm starving. But if I eat too...

    Depo appointment tomorrow

    So tomorrow when I get my depo injection I'll see my psychiatrist. I'm going to be very honest with them because I'm at the end of my rope. That I haven't been eating healthy, haven't been showering, just pace back and forth to my music all day. Winter is coming so it will be harder for me to go...

    I need life to be easier

    I'm on a program called independent living support. They are supposed to help with shopping cooking and cleaning dr. appointments etc. I have found the program only good for shopping and doctors appointments. I don't like how my worker does things in the kitchen because I'm afraid of germs. I...

    I think I’m screwed.

    I have been wearing Tena underwear for a few days now. I find it hard to make it to the bathroom on time. When I was wearing them I hadn’t showered for 4 days so I got a yeast infection. I only like to shower twice a week because I find it exhausting. I’m not even sure not showering is what...
