Today is just one of those days...

 I had a good time this past weekend. Nothing really major to report symptom wise. I saw my parents for Easter.. and overall i have been in a good mood for the past few days. On Friday I met with my med manager who said we should lower the Risperidone due to the uncomfortable mouth movements that i have been experiencing. The drop in medication initially made me anxious which spiked my symptoms but right now it hasn't been that bad. With that said i've been working from home for the last two days so that probably is helping with the transition. Tomorrow its back in the office but i have a 10am start time instead of 7am.  I am helping with coverage of someones shift so that's why im starting that late in the day. While I havent been able to adjust in such a short amount of time, i am hoping that tomorrow morning i get up early and have enough energy to Shower, make breakfast, and maybe catch the news before i head off to work. I need to get out of the habit of staying in bed until the last possible moment. While i enjoy sleep... its not healthy. Its a very bad habit that i've fallen into and i need to figure out a way around it. It should just be as simple as telling myself before bed that im not going to do it anymore. But any time i do that i end up in a worse off morning that i would normally have.

I looked into monitizing my Blog with google ad sense... but apparently my content isnt good enough for that.  I may look into some of my interests and determine if it would be possible to create a second blog relating to that so that i can start to make some money off of writing.  Writing is something i enjoy and im thinking if i can earn some scratch from it its worth while. 

My Dad's 70th birthday is Sunday... You can tell he's progressing with his parkinsons. His mind is there but his speech is starting to fail him

A lot of planning...

 So, seeing as I'm now out of work again I figure my current system isn't working. If i want to be successful in business and in life, then i need to get my basics down. Recently, I've started making sheets on excel to track what I'm doing everyday. they range everything from Diet and exercise to mood and symptoms. If i don't start tracking this stuff then I'm never going to make progress. While it's easy to put these items into practice using 1000s of apps... i found that just writing it all down on a few excel spreadsheets and tracking it by hand several times a day is a lot easier to remember. And it gets me off my phone. Lately I've be "Doom Scrolling" without any real purpose and what ends up happening is eventually the AI algorithm starts showing me videos of people dying in car crashes. Not exactly what makes me happy ya know. So I've got my lists and that's what I'll be working on for the foreseeable future while i attempt t...

A Bit of Hope on a Cloudy Afternoon.

Tonight we are heading over our friends' house to have dinner and hang out for a while. December 10th isn't really a memorable date. But every year around this time of year things start to happen that give tiny moments like these a real feeling of warming. Today even, it was nearly 60 degrees at one point today and it made this brutal cold seem bearable. It's not safe to be outside during the darkest of winter. Cold brings out the worst in people, and overall it's hard to handle because it also brings out the despair in people. Merge the two together and you could be looking at a cold dark society which emerges in the spring jaded working every year to bring happiness into ones life only to suffer the cold dark winter the following year. Today i have hope though. Recently i was inspired after talking with people that care about me. The best part is... a renewed sense of hope can alter the mind in such a way... it's better than any drug or substance that you can use ...

No Sooner Did I Say....

 No sooner did i mention that I have a new job, was i laid off for excessive days off. It's really for the birds. Here i am a disabled person who wants to work... and I've had an incredibly hard time hold down a job this year. Whether it be manic episodes due to the medication my doctor put me on, or the company pulling a bait and switch and finding due to that I'm not qualified for the position, to being out sick a couple of days and getting let go... this year has been terrible. While I've had frequent thoughts of a permanent "Out" for myself from this life... it would seem like a waste to get from an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 2008 to giving it another go 17 years later. I feel like if i survived the first attempt... then i must be here on this planet for some reason so i need to make the best of my time. Even in poor health, an optimistic attitude can make the difference between healing or not.   I don't know what my plan is now. But, i know that ...
