I haven't been doing well lately.

im doing amazing!!! a little bit manic tho hahahahaha❤️

Hey y'all! Another week, another story. I'm still struggling a bit, but trudging on the best I can. Had a meeting with my husband's caseworker, wherein I cried because he said some hurtful things about me. I was telling his caseworker he needed to focus on his mental health and he got defensive and started spewing vitriol. I already go to therapy, but I feel like he needs to go as well. We made up afterwards, but I'm still smarting from his comments. On a good note: PT is going well and I feel a lot better than I did a month ago. I also went to the park with my mom so we could enjoy the cool weather. In even better news: I finally found a job!! Even though it's only seasonal, I'm grateful that it's remote and part-time. Training starts next month, so I'm trying not to let my anxiety get to me. Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!! The only way to move is forward, because you don't want to go backwards.

P.S. - bonus pic of my kitty demanding attention the other day 😸

I hope everyone's hanging in there!

13 years of an altered religious delusional reality it’s so great to be back in the Church family after so long of stepping away!!!

And chalk drawing I did

My first selfie Sunday! Tried some cool makeup today

I love my jewelry 😅

These past few months I had a huge burst of energy to start doing comedy again thinking all my jokes were just great, started getting ready to start a feeder roach business for reptiles, believed I would become a famous musician and wrote music and played guitar obsessively, thought I might do nature tour guides (I would definitely be good at this one for sure tho), and was irritable and paranoid and demonstrated a severe lack of follow through on anything and everything, including hygiene, barely eating anything. I also had another get rich quick scheme I can't disclose. Similarly, I also did another thing that might be something not to disclose involving medications. I didn't sleep a lot either.

As soon as the weather changed these past few days, I feel as tho my mood has levelled out. However, now I'm too paranoid to leave my room. Sometimes I don't leave my room for days, too scared to even eat bc I might run into my roommate. She doesn't like me tho, to be fair to my assessment of myself. She has BPD, diagnosed. I think she split on me or something idk. This paranoia of locking myself in my room for nearly all hours for days without a lot of mood symptoms has definitely lasted at least 2 weeks before, I remember. I can't sleep now hardly at all but am so exhausted. I'm showing about 6 symptoms of what I believe to be catatonia, mostly agitated catatonia. I'm twitchy, feel more comfortable holding my arms in a weird angle (think family guy death pose), my ankles too, often to where it hurts, and can't stop restless back and forth movements.

I'm on abilify. I'm also autistic, tho, which could explain a lot of this. My echolalia also increased substantially these past few days.

Does this sound like schizoaffective bipolar type? Let me know

unfortunately the company i work for cancelled their contract and i will be out of a job, but have some money saved up gonna start a passion of mine that i haven't done for 8 years.!

Going to dinner with my gf. Got a quiz tonight. Wish me luck.

This is for my book I'm working on
I took the middle spot even though I was born with one between my eyes

First time post8ng. I am fairly new to this subreddit. I am glad to get to know others that are dealing with schizoaffective disorder. I have been dealing with it for 22 years.

Been on abilify for 3 weeks now and it's going really well. My pysch np agreed with not doing the injection as long as I stay compliant.

Did some Halloween art journaling with my Mom and sister. Not that artistic but I like putting things together.

Happy Sunday. Take your meds 💊.

WTF am I taking them for then? I already have that as it is. I’d rather not up the chance of it happening more frequently. Gah!
