Ramblings of a Schizo

While I've written plenty over my 30 years behind a keyboard, I'm most proud of my book. The Ramblings of a Schizo written by T.A. Michaels which i had self published through Amazon Earlier this year.  The book follows my early adulthood and the mental distress caused by bad doctors and symptom relapse of Schizo-affective disorder. While nothing can take back what has happened to me, After being through the ringer this year mentally... i can say that things would be much worse if i stopped taking my medication. Am I on the right medication? I can't say for certain. I know that being in public is a non-stop assault from strangers calling me things from pervert to crazy person and the only thing i can think of in that regard is the fact that my Risperdal caused me to gain 60 pounds since going back on the medication in 2017.... And ever since Marjory Taylor Greene Infamously called every fat guy a creep, I've felt like I've been judged more for my weight than i have for my mind. Which in all reality is sad considering I'm only 40.... what does the general population expect me to do? Just shut up and take it for the next 40 years till I'm dead? These things would force most people to hide in their house forever.... until they one day wake up at 70 regretting never taking charge sooner. This is why during my next Medication Assessment (end of December), i am going to ask about going on Covenfy which i have heard is an alternative treatment for Schizophrenia which produces no additional weight gain. Had i known about the medication years ago i would have looked into it, but it wasn't until watching T.V. with my wife that i found out the medication even exists. I'm not hoping its a cure all... but damn, i would love to walk in a room somewhere out in public a year from now without men and women judging the fact that 10 years of prolonged exposure to Risperdal (which increases your pro-estrogen level) caused me to grow what looks like female tits. Talk about putting a complex on an already difficult situation. Not only do people assume that I'm Transsexual (Which I'm not), Getting constant shit from Men who are either turned on by them unnaturally or just men that want to bust on a guy for having tits. Or angry old christian women thinking I'm Lucifer which is even more of a complex. Despite having dealt with this for the better part of my adult life... i haven't killed myself. I guess the 1950's solution to schizophrenia was to turn aggressive men into females. This is why I'm going to be exploring alternative solutions for my Schizophrenia. At least my wife understands. And if i can get on medication that is going to treat the symptoms and and cause me to lose weight, then it's whats best for me at this point in my life.

A couple of weeks to reset.

Recently, I got a new job. When i went to put in my two weeks at my existing job management indicated that I didn't have to come in and could be discharged early if i wanted. So i said ok. I've had about 2 weeks off by this point and I start my new job on Monday the 28th. I'm looking forward to it.  While I've been off, I've been tending to things around the house and becoming more active. I've been able to go to the gym virtually any time i want... and the wife and I even took up Basketball today. I'm hoping that i can spend this fall / winter / spring getting my physical health in order while at the same time advancing my career. I am also working on Quitting smoking. Today is day 3 of 56 in the program. I'm expecting my sense of smell to improve sometime in the next 24 hours. Usually it kicks in between day 3 and day 5. It usually comes on suddenly and without warning. All of a sudden the smells of the room I'm in are overly amplified. Which can h...

Please support a career change

  It's time for a career change. I have been in the IT industry since 2003 and really don't have much to show for it except a mental condition. I recently started a new job and while it's a great company with great coworkers, I feel I need time out of the IT industry to reset and recharge. Now, I know what you're thinking. This guy just wants to sit on his ass all day and play video games, but it's not true. I've been a registered UBER driver for 10 years now. I've done it on and off when expenses were tight over the years, but I want to do it full time. Why drive, you ask? Well, by nature I'm extroverted, so I enjoy talking to people. UBER gives me the chance to socialize with people I might not normally interact with, and that can be a fun experience. I once met a boat worker that I spent 1 1/2 hours driving to a marina so he could grab a ferry home. It was a long car ride, but it was interesting to learn about his profession. With IT, I've become ...

It's an interesting start to February.

I was outside early today admiring an old birds nest in my neighbors tree. I thought it was interesting because when a bird's nest is left alone all winter, any bird can come back to it in the spring and have their babies there rather than just that one specific bird that first set it up. The nest, looking undisturbed... could have been there for a few years now, and this is the first time I'm noticing it. The part that took my attention the most, wasn't the birds nest, but rather the fact that the tree already had buds on it. It's February 4th... The trees in New England shouldn't have buds on them already. It's too damn cold and the temps shift wildly it'll kill the damn buds and therefore the trees themselves. My book is published and out on amazon. Link below https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTBTKJ1J
