| Friend is getting on my nerves lately. Just only ever wants to talk about themselves. Never listens. Never cares. Has no awareness and even when I tell them to maybe ask me stuff they say they don't know what to ask. They do ask questions but only so they can talk about something related. |

| Found a playlist on Spotify I really like. I've been adding every song to one of my playlists so far. Exploring Spotify gives me so much joy. |

| 10. Feeling really good, and listening to music. Curating a playlist. Quite a large playlist. I'm making it to influence my Spotify algorithm. It's a modern country/ Americana playlist. I want to get more hidden gems in my suggested. I was tired of all the same stuff showing up. It's a non skip play... |

| I don't know what to do. It's difficult for me to navigate these things. I think I need them. Especially with checkups for my medications and overall well being. I know I don't like going to appointments, however I still need them I think. My communication struggles while not very obvious can make i... |

| I have feelings of anxiety that's worsened lately. I'm on an anti anxiety medication. Yet I don't know if it's helpful. Abilify is helpful though with other things. Mornings are the worst. I feel a spinning sensation and feel baffled that I even manage to get out of bed and dressed. I throw up from ... |

| Like I'm scared my pills were mixed up. I'll go on pill identification websites. I'm worried it could be narcotics. I'll think I've been given Xanax, or even oxycontin by accident. I'll even "feel" the "effects" if I'm convinced. I've even brought it up to people and they get con... |

| I've been told not to drink so much coffee. I drink about 4-6 cups a day. I love it. I find it gives me energy. I don't have a lot of energy usually. Also it's nice to relax with a cup of coffee. However if I drink too much I can feel very agitated. Sometimes it makes me sleepy afterwards. Also some... |

| I realized I've been feeling this way. It's a good thing I've become aware. Yet it still sucks. I thought my neighbours were watching me and moved in just to do that. I thought my other neighbours were watching me in the shower. I'm sometimes convinced that I have multiple stalkers. Sometimes I hear... |

It's good that you have these insights Crystal and it's double good that you are being able to sort it all out and talk about it
It's not silly or stupid what you are experiencing btw
Thanks. It's difficult sometimes because people can be not very understanding. |

| I honestly feel more like a teenager. I haven't seemed to move past that. I don't relate to most people my age. I have meltdowns still. I slam doors. I forget to eat sometimes. I need help with washing my hair. I feel embarrassed sometimes. I can't go out drinking because I am more vulnerable and my... |

I struggle with conversations. I sometimes don't even know what to say in response. It baffled me because I... |
