Understanding What is Not Real

Just got back from the coffee shop where I spent some time with friends and spent some time reading one of the 6 books I’m currently reading. I tend to do that; get mixed up in too many books at once. The night was relatively symptom free, with only a few instances of auditory hallucinations. It’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Life is Good

You know what? Life is good. I’m sitting here and thinking and I just can’t get around the fact that despite all the crap that happens, life is good. Life is interesting and fun. There’s always something new to learn, always someone interesting to watch (not in a stalker sense, thank you very much)... Sign in to see full entry.

Good News and Bad News

I got back from my appointment with my therapist, and I got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that the symptoms I’ve been having where I can’t seem to get a sentence out or put words together is an early form of incoherence, and could lead to my complete inability to talk or make...

Tough Morning

A tough morning has already presented itself, and I don’t think it’ll get any easier. I came in late to work as I was hallucinating at home and didn’t think I should be driving. When I finally got in the car, about halfway to work I realized I had forgotten my medication, so I turned back and took... Sign in to see full entry.

To Tell Stories

Lonely and alone would be a good way to describe me right now. I know I know, poor me, boo hoo. But you know what? When you’ve been hallucinating all night, and you’ve got this feeling that your roommates are ignoring you so that you'll go crazy, lonely and alone is a pretty good way to sum things...

Unable to Think

Work ended on a not so good note today. I didn’t manage to get the problem fixed before I left, so that will still be weighing on me in the morning. I can’t really focus right now; my thoughts are a little too chaotic. Stringing a few words together is proving to be problematic for me at this point... Sign in to see full entry.

Stressing Myself Out

My stomach has twisted itself into knots again. The machine I use to test our program isn’t turning on and I bet the power supply is fried. Doesn’t that just make life super interesting for me? I know that this shouldn’t really bother me much, but things are stressing me out so much more lately.... Sign in to see full entry.

Changes Coming?

In a couple of weeks we’ll decide whether or not to change my medication all together. I’m going back in to see the psychiatrist on Tuesday, at which point she’ll probably increase my dosage one more time. If there isn’t a noticeable drop in symptoms I’ll more than likely be switched over to a... Sign in to see full entry.

Becoming Socially Inept

I went to the local used bookstore tonight and had a very very good time. The lady working there let me sit and write in the store, which is totally cool. I wasn’t feeling my best so I avoided talking to her so that I didn’t get in to any embarrassing situations. I’ve noticed over the past year that... Sign in to see full entry.

Sympathy and Pity

I was thinking more about what I was saying regarding people misunderstanding what psychosis really is, and I wanted to share with you an experience I had recently at the local bookstore. I was looking at their leather journals (I keep one for each story I’m writing, so I have quite a few) and... Sign in to see full entry.
