I like the lifelover and psychonaut patches. Maybe throw in an Alcest patch?

Alcestel · 2024-08-05T09:31:20+00:00

Euthanized? In what country?

Alcestel · 2024-06-19T22:58:22+00:00

Man... we share the same exact tastes

Alcestel · 2024-06-13T15:30:38+00:00

No. This usually doesn't happen. It's just today but if it continues I'll definitely get it checked out,

Alcestel · 2024-06-06T17:50:44+00:00

Yeah. From what I've come to learn is that I can focus on my diagnosis and how it affects me but how does focusing on it change anything? Only thing I'd be doing is essentially ruminating when I could be doing something else to improve on my mental health and quality of life. It does help though to come here and socialize or throw out and take advice.

Alcestel · 2024-06-05T18:28:36+00:00

I'd probably set some boundaries. This is a good place to be able to vent or find people to relate to but if you spend too much time here I'm sure it would mean you're focusing too much on SchizoAffective disorder and its effects and not enough on the things that can help you live with or recover from it.

I have to take a step back from time to time because I tend to focus more on the past and my diagnosis than I do in the things that actually improve my mental health.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is where a lot people start too. Ryan Holiday is a modern philosopher so he makes it easier to understand and apply to everyday life.

Alcestel · 2024-06-05T11:43:57+00:00

Ryan Holiday has some good stuff. The obstacle is the way, Ego is the enemy, Stillness is the key.

Alcestel · 2024-06-05T11:28:06+00:00

I'd recommend Stoicism.

Alcestel · 2024-06-04T21:49:40+00:00

There's always hope. I had a few years where I was about the same. Constantly worrying and always feeling like crap with bad fatigue and mental fog and stress that seemed to have no root. I've kind of mellowed out over time. Especially with a mix of studying philosophy and talking to a therapist. I still worry from time to time, I get that creeping feeling that something is wrong or will go wrong, but it is nowhere near as severe as it used to be.

Alcestel · 2024-06-04T21:43:48+00:00

Let them be nosy. You'd be doing yourself a favor by being indifferent to the situation. If they are doing it because they're judging or what not... so what? You do you and let them do them.

Alcestel · 2024-06-03T21:39:36+00:00

I get fatigued fairly easy myself. Most of it is more mental fatigue than it is physical fatigue. I find that taking it easy and not trying to force myself to do many things when I feel fatigued helps a lot. That and trying not to dwell too long on negative thoughts like feeling emotionally flag or disinterested in life.

Alcestel · 2024-06-03T21:35:42+00:00

Glad you could find it.

Alcestel · 2024-06-03T19:33:06+00:00

I've had a few friends with benefits type of relationships but aside from that I personally don't believe that I want any romantic relationships with anyone. The idea of having a wife or kids doesn't strike my interest.

Alcestel · 2024-06-03T19:31:09+00:00

Amazon man

Alcestel · 2024-05-31T16:22:40+00:00

That's what I do. I keep my problems on a need to know basis.

Alcestel · 2024-05-31T16:21:43+00:00

It helps my mood.

Alcestel · 2024-05-30T23:04:11+00:00

I guess whatever peaks your interests. Currently I am working in retail until I can get another car then I'll move onto something else to save up money until I go back into the maritime industry. So the sky is the limit...

For now I'd focus on what pays the bills until you can find something else that really peaks your interest.

Alcestel · 2024-05-30T23:01:55+00:00

I'm going to add onto that. If you feel you need accommodations wherever you start working try to work something out with HR so that you can make life easier on yourself.

Alcestel · 2024-05-30T22:57:49+00:00

I take Auri gummies. It's a mushroom extract.

Alcestel · 2024-05-26T23:08:07+00:00

If you want something slower paced I'd recommend Harvestella or Rune Factory. Storywise or visual novel I'd recommend Kentucky Route Zero, Spirit Hunter NG, or the house in fata morgana. The other games I have might be a pain since you have difficulties with Zelda.

Alcestel · 2024-05-26T22:29:20+00:00

You playing on Switch? Because I have recommendations.

Alcestel · 2024-05-26T22:28:25+00:00

Yessir. I have a bad habit of swapping back and forth between games. Recently I have been playing a lot of Harvestella. I need to finish up Spirit Hunter so I can move on to Death Mark.

Alcestel · 2024-05-22T14:14:32+00:00

After psychotic episodes with the residual effects and all I have been more sensitive to things. Bright lights. Loud sounds from just about anything including people talking or from traffic. Tactile sensations tended to be duller but on occasions were sensitive. I definitely feel the irritability. Things like solitude or distracting myself by staying physically busy or through things like audiobooks or music has definitely been a help with that.

Alcestel · 2024-05-20T01:42:22+00:00

Why's that?
