Something’s not right

How I am going

How I am going

Hey all it's 2.02 and I'm drunk, I know I shouldn't be... but couldn't help myself... my doctor said I have no delusions and hallucinations which I always thought was the case just over thinking, I finally feel on top of myself and the world around me which is good.

@cloudcore sorry wasn't aware of the rules everything is fine, just having an occasional drink just waiting for my assessment to be marked so I thought why not. Everything hasn't been fine but I'm on top of everything now @cloudcore. I will keep this in mind for next time. Thanks for the heads up

Re: Good Morning!

Hi @Former-Member , no worries at all as we understand that the guidelines aren't very clear in this instance.

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling on top of things after a difficult period. Waiting on assessment marks though always leaves me feeling a bit anxious, have you been feeling like that too?

Re: Good Morning!

Sorry if I offended anyone I wasn't aiming for that by a long shot, simply stating what I was upto. @cloudcore I'm on new meds and finally feeling alive after, well since 2007 when I first noticed something wrong with me if you know what I mean... I may have an addiction problem with cigarettes and alcohol, though alcohol I have a control of and cigarettes I've cut down on severely just wanted to know what everyone was up to, by stating what I was up to, trying to see the positive in life... which now I know isn't from a high of drinking, still working on my self, but I feel I am better than I was

Re: Good Morning!

@Former-Member , I'm happy to hear that you were able to work with your doctor to find the right medication for you, it must be a relief to feel alive again (or at least that's how I felt when I started the right one)

You mentioned that you may have an addiction problem, I'm wondering if you have any supports around that at the moment?

Here with you

Re: Good Morning!

My friends ignore me since I told them about my diagnosis, only one talks to me but he's a narcissist - plus they like pictures on my Facebook that they have no business liking - online harrsment as I see it, better to have no friends than friends like that anyway. Got a good support system at home though will stick to that now....anyways hopefully I can make some friends when I start working, only having interviews these days. Maybe I'm rushing things when they don't work out, from what I remember I don't remember being treated like this anyway... @MDT @cloudcore @pinklollipop15 what do you guys think?

Re: How I am going

Hey @Former-Member
I think youbare reasonably close to me in age aren't you?

I have found Facebook to one of the most toxic things of the last couple of years. I think it conditions us into thinking about things that don't necessarily matter.
I think its online harassment yes. It sucks that people didn't accept your diagnosis and I'm sorry to hear that.

I have found that I need to balance myself between old friends and new ones because my life is at a weird stage.

The employment prospects and competition nature of finding jobs exhausts me. I accept that it's just part of how things are. But then I am finding myself wondering if I want to even stay in a place where this is how competitive it can be.

I'm struggling with work ideas as well my friend. You're not alone in that.

Its easier to make new friend when you have direction and purpose and I think it can be hard to have that when you are feeling at odds with yourself. These days I am at odds with myself. Much too much.
So half my time is spent between trying to implement better self image and better self talk and the other half is finding direction and meaningful work
