Early Monday Morning.

 It's about 4:00 AM. It's early to say the least. Saturday night I had to cover a shift for a coworker so I ended up sleeping almost 12 Hours yesterday afternoon into this morning. So far it's been productive. I woke up, took a shower, Went and Got a coffee, Picked up deodorant from Walgreens. Came home, Brush my teeth, and wrote out a plan for My Morning / Evening routines going forward. One thing I'm finding is that with the additional of the new medication is just how much it effects me. When I first took it Sunday morning...my mind felt like it had a complete melt down for an incident which took place around 10am. Granted... I had been up all night so I'm sure that had an impact... but never the less, I wasn't able to function correctly for my job. It's just something that I need to be aware of going forward because if i am going to be picking up on-call engagements.... I have to be hyper aware of the side effects. The other thing I noticed about the new medication is just how Aware I felt. When I was inside the gas station getting gas... I felt like I had already drank a couple of coffees even though the one I was purchasing was the first one of the day. Also... my mind is "somewhat" more focused. I wasn't expecting the medication to have an instant effect... and I'm sure what I'm experiencing now is probably just the placebo effect. But once i build it up within my system, I am interested to see what impact it has on my cognitive function. 

I'm surprised by how much energy I have this morning. It could be the over abundance of sleep... Or it could be something else entirely. I have to get a new battery for this laptop. That and a power cord. I've been using a generic USB C charger and unfortunately the battery wont hold a charge anymore. I'm sure I could probably get both from Amazon fairly Cheap... So I'll probably end this now and start looking for one.

I'll write more later if anything interesting happens.

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 ...
