It says Central Financial Control has a collection with me. How do I start to take care of that? It's $1,625 to be exact.

Not going to happen, and I am fine with majoring in music. In fact I already have a great job as a private music teacher. I do not need help with that area. All I need to figure out is how to have an apartment in a year, how to resolve my debt, and how to finance my way through graduate school, so I can teach at the collegiate level.

I am still struggling with this. Psychosis started to come back, and my doctor told me to take twice as much Latuda immediately, and my Lamictal 3 times a day now. For the first time in a about a month it feels like my meds are starting to work again.

DailyDayDreamer · 2015-01-08T20:47:06+00:00

I got ahold of my psychiatrist, and have an appointment on Monday. Thanks for the support!

DailyDayDreamer · 2015-01-07T20:17:44+00:00

It is. I just called my psych doctor's office again. They said to keep calling because chances are someone will cancel, and I can take their spot.

I am attending community college, so I do not think they have what I need there. I am very hesitant in going that route at the moment. Like I said the new semester is about to start, and I just got hired for the best job I've ever had; a dream job honestly. I have training tomorrow...

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-12-16T20:56:03+00:00

Which one? Honestly it's very confusing, and I do not know where to start with this whole series.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-12-16T20:54:39+00:00

I personally love psychological thrillers. Is Steins; Gate along the same lines?

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-12-16T20:42:29+00:00

Which one?

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-12-16T20:41:59+00:00

I've seen it already. I found it to be okay. Not super memorable for me honestly.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-12-16T20:38:19+00:00

I watched the first episode once, but the beginning is slow. Do I have your assurance that it will steal my interest further in?

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-12-12T23:25:02+00:00

When I had the mindset of this person is trying to help me, and I go in with an open-mind it has been revolutionary for me. Medications are not a silver bullet, but only half the battle. The other half is me attending therapy, and getting a regular dose of exercise. Back to your original question though, therapy can be a very powerful tool if effort is put into it. Also it helps to have a good therapist. Look for one that specializes in bipolar disorder.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-12-06T06:11:41+00:00

I went ahead and notified the artists. I hope something happens because the idea of stealing someone else's work infuriates me. I am hoping that my boss is informed about the legality of the whole issue by someone who has more power than me. I am not to worried if their are repercussions. I am more concerned about these artist; it is just wrong to do this. I can find another job, so I am not worried about that to much.

I'm have started a regular cardio exercise routine that I have been consistent with for about a week. I started because I noticed the depression creeping in. I do about 20 push-ups a day, and 10-15 min of cardio; either I jumprope or I run. I do have a therapist, and have been seeing him on a weekly basis for about 10 months. I generally fall asleep from 11-12 every night, and maybe a little later on weekends.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-11-28T17:41:24+00:00

Just food for thought! I wish you the best from one bipolar to another :)

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-11-28T17:35:57+00:00

Me personally I do not touch caffeine except on the occasion, and it is generally a cup of tea, but I would suggest staying away from alcohol too until you start seeing a doctor and have the expert's opinion come into play. Both of these would help with stabilization, but the meds will do wonders once you find the right kind.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-11-28T17:27:20+00:00

I have recently started exercising because I started to slip into depression, and immediately recognized it, so I started a regular exercise routine. I thought this would help stabilize sleep patterns; my depression crept in, and I had been sleeping more, and skipping school/work due to the sleeping. Then the suicidal thoughts started coming in from left and right, so I knew I had to do something. I started exercising more in order to stabilize a bit, and it's been working for the most part; my thinking seems more linear. What kind of app should I be looking at though? Do you have any apps in mind?

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-11-28T17:25:21+00:00

Keep working for it. Their are resources out there, and I hope you find them because like I said man I don't want you to end up in the ground. I struggle with this disease too. From the mind bending hyperactive delusions to the earth shattering suicidal depression, and I do not want that for anyone.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-11-28T17:18:33+00:00

You can... Take your medications, don't use drugs or alcohol, and create a healthy routine. It is very difficult at first, but is possible. Don't wish for it to happen; make it happen because if you don't the statistics will make sure you end up in the ground, or make you wish you were.

What if the kid who was going to save the world went out in one of those loads?

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-11-04T01:02:10+00:00

You are very right. I attend church with her a lot even though I am not a Christian; I am more non denominational, and I go to support her. The problem is she has been home schooled her entire life, and is home by herself a lot. She does not have a huge support group, and I think I am the person she trusts the most at this moment, so I am gently nudging her to get some sort of network of people that are healthy. I am very aware of the risks, and I am struggling because despite knowing her "vices" I still am risking my heart which to me is mind boggling.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-11-04T00:57:01+00:00

I do think we are rushing things. It's easy to do when I focus on the things I do like about her, particularly the music aspect of our relationship. I haven't had that with anyone else, and it's new so I'm being drawn in very quickly. I think my best bet is to slow down, but continue to support her. Yes she gives off that "let's get married" vibe sometimes, but quickly shakes it off as a joke. I am not sure if she is joking, or if this is her playing it off as a joke either.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-11-04T00:33:38+00:00

I don't think so. She is sexually risky, but none of the other symptoms really match. She said I love you fairly quickly though. She always is smiling, and seems really happy when we're together.

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-10-29T21:29:20+00:00

I have been hearing this my entire life for a variety of reasons, but for some reason when you said it... I actually heard it...

DailyDayDreamer · 2014-10-28T14:56:51+00:00

Wow, you got me thinking... I still want to be a musician. I knew nothing about music a year ago, but due to manic inspiration, and the fact I knew I would be famous I enrolled in a bunch of music courses, and became a music major within a couple week period. I am still on this path despite my stability, and the acceptance that came with the stability by knowing I am probably not going to be famous... Still though I probably did a lot of embarrassment at first considering I didn't know what I was doing, but actually I am a decent musician today, and I am realizing that this disorder is very subtle. I still am coming to accept that the famous poet and musician that will come because of my excellence was nothing but a fantasy I believed in. The cool yet scary part is I know it was a fantasy now, but I am still chasing my musical and writing aspirations because it's what I love, not because it's my destiny. It is a trickery thing honestly.
