Sunday Funday

Overall it's been a good weekend. I don't really have any complaints to speak of. While our financial situation could be better, I'm finding that working on the less is more principle is actually pretty good. I have paying work today. Outside of the day job and Uber. Also I started with Stickr.co so that should bring in a couple of extra dollars a month. Passive income is what they call it. And when I've been seeing articles about people making 10,000 a month in passive income... $100 is 1% of the way there. I do plan on publishing my book about my psychotic episodes. I figure that a first had account on the topic is better than what people have read in the news and media. Aside from A Beatiful Mind... schizophrenic people are often looked at negatively. More so a Tyler Durdan type than a "Here's Johnny" myself. I feel my first hand account of what took place can show what it's like living with the disorder... and what dangers an episode actually consists of. I'll be working on that this week. And I'll hopefully have an update on Friday with the details.

As for the rest of the coming week... I'll be working, and hopefully exercising at night after I eat and feed the cats. Katie's schedule varies.. so it makes sense that I'll be holding my own for a few nights this week. I just need to fight off the sadness as best as I can. Because life really isn't all that great. But it could be alot worse.

That's all for now

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 ...
