| The fact I need a new Dr. I'm scared of going to new doctors. I'm not much into change. Also not all Drs understand my needs. I may not always communicate my stuff very well. |

I got lectured because I didn't tell them for a year. I have hallucinations a lot and i feel I dont need to tell people about every single... |

| I like to paint sometimes. I'm not amazing but I find it therapeutic. I like to paint landscapes like the ocean, the desert, or trees or the night sky. I sometimes like abstract too. Like painting rainbows and random shapes. I like to write poetry and letters that are poems. They're letters to rando... |

| I feel separate from my emotions. I cannot explain them. I cannot express them. I can experience happiness and all of the emotions. I just feel so disconnected. I can know what I am feeling. I just cannot understand or tell people if I need to. Something's separate in my mind and body. Honestly some... |

| 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. |

| 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 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 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 need help with washing my hair. I feel embarrassed sometimes. I can't go out drinking because I am more vulnerable and my... |
