I have some Hello Kitty items including a Hello Kitty shaped chocolate donut squishy, for some reason. I wore a Hello Kitty shirt out and people thought I was a fan. I'm not sure I can call myself a big fan of Hello Kitty specfiically, I just like cute things. This post puts a smile on my face thank you professer^^ I have a Halloween party tonight so fun! Also, my friend Sara, that I hang out with on sundays, is now in my group, and today is her second day in it^^ I am so excited to do an art project with her!😀 My costume is gonna be a dog and it’s gonna be very cute :3 i wonder if they will have candy at the party? XD Also I might relax myself this morning looking at images of flowers :3 flowers remind me to love and respect myself. And I know self love will help me have fewer meltdowns. Might also listen to some metal this morning, too. It’s good for lowering my anxiety, cos a lot of stuff can get me if it’s not “perfect”. Generally, cos of my ptsd…heavy metal is healing for me….

Hi, everyone! I had a nice day today. The person who helps me came over, and we went to a pharmacy to dispose of some old meds, which was nice because those old packs were cluttering my cabinets for a while. Later I got to see Dennis, and we went to the tea shop, where I got a rose tea latte. :3 And I also bought some loose leaf tea while I was there (rose, pumpkin rooibos, and cinnamon rooibos). After that I went to Walmart with Renton and we got some stuff we needed. I got two new boxes of tea from there too, both holiday-themed flavors. Also, on Monday, Renton and I went to see Five Nights at Freddy's. xD It was a really good movie, and the popcorn was great.

I have been very into Taylor swift lately, and I hope I get to see eras sometime :3
I had yummy strawberry cereal that’s not too sugary for breakfast a short while ago^^
I am not sure I slept enough, but I guess, due to my anxiety, sleeping in is just hard for me…..haha.
Your new avatar is so cute melanie :3

Hi, Jirachu MilleniumPika! I had a good day yesterday. The person who helps me came over, and we got a good amount of cleaning done. I did a load of dishes and cleaned the kitchen, and she helped me hang up two pieces of art we wanted to display (Bold and Brash from Spongebob, and a Pokémon one). After that, Renton and I got food from Culver's and we watched Bluey. Then I had an appointment at my apartment with my case manager, and I answered some questions. Then I went to my mom's house to spend the night, and I got to go to the tea place again, where I got a cinnamon rooibos latte. :3 I also got new loose leaf tea (candy green apple, honeybush peach, and lemon chiffon rooibos). We stopped at Meijer and I got some stuff, including a Bluey sticker book and a seaweed snack. xD Renton came over to my mom's house later and we ordered pizza from a local place. It was great.

I spent a lot of time at my mom's today. I like being there because it's easier to pace while listening to music (no downstairs neighbors). xD I also had an appointment with my case manager, and I'm seeing her again later this month. Not much else to say, I guess, except that I've been reading a lot. ^^ I'm reading two mental health memoirs and two fiction books at the moment.

I have been just really hyper focusing a lot on Taylor swift stuff it is kinda addictive lol Also I visited Sophie a few times today some stuff that came up today really increased my anxiety (won’t think about it) so petting a dog was kinda my only comfort a few times. I am truly grateful for that sweet animal

Today I went to the library. I checked out a sequel to a book I'm reading, two mental health fiction books I want to re-read, and a writing instruction book. I also renewed the two books I checked out last time. Reading is my hyperfocus right now. Though I want to get back into Animal Crossing too.

Today I discovered posting on forums to Taylor swift music makes me feel happy, and some of the songs even remind me of 2004 a little (like her trouble song xD which makes this forum feel like tes a little haha) I think this is a good way for me to focus on happier forum memories, and push past the not so happy ones😊👍

I spent the night at my mom's last night. That was fun. Just now I got back from shopping with Renton, and I should put away the groceries soon. Not much else to say, other than my case manager had to cancel today, and tomorrow I have an appointment with the person who helps me. I'm guessing we'll work on cleaning the apartment.

I had an alright day today. I got to go for a car ride and ate at a restaurant for lunch, which was nice. Renton and I had an argument later on, but it's settled now. I still haven't had dinner because I ate a lot for lunch. xD; Vegetables especially. I'm probably going to make tea soon. Maybe something with cinnamon.

I had a great day today! So I will post about it on my forum xD I shopped till I dropped at barns and noble with a best friend today, and I got a princess colouring and activity set (it’s soooo fancy xD), a fun unicorn sticker book, and a book collection book with Barbie movie stories in it then I had lunch with some other friends at my day program too and when I got worried I looked at my happy stuff and it cheered me up. I also saw my Buddy Janet at the store, too, and I saw her again in the afternoon we went to dollar tree, we walked, and then had Thai dinner! And I stayed so upbeat and happy all day I should totally play the unbeatable song <3 even at times when I was anxious, my default mood was happy, and I found positive answers to a lot of stuff (like drinking lots of water with a headache instead of getting headache medicine right away). Omg, there’s a lot more to say about today, but some stuff I might draft into this in a private texting app. Please don’t think my life is perfect though. It isn’t, cos I do have major anxiety disorder, and, even with happy days, I have extreme fears that haunt me in the back of my mind. My life is good, and I focus on being optimistic, but I also have my own challenges no matter what. That said, happy as this day was, I could have a nightmare tonight about some of my….anxieties. Or not. But either way, I am just glad I enjoyed myself and I am positive dispite my anxiety and challanges, life can only get better. I feel happy where I am now and grateful for every blessing happy November everyone and a great thanksgiving up ahead x3

I've actually been struggling a lot with my mental health lately, which is weird, because the medications were keeping my mood episodes either under control or mild for a long time. In late October (I think?) I was down for a bit, I think, and definitely acting different. Then I had a mild hypomanic episode, during which I spent almost all of my money in less than a week, had a super elevated mood, and hyperfocused more than usual. Then I went into a mixed episode, which seems to be where I am now. I had a lot of lingering hypomanic symptoms for a while -- plenty of energy, still writing, intense hyperfocuses -- and then started switching between feeling like garbage and feeling mostly okay but not great.
I'm going to try to contact my case manager tomorrow, because I might need a med change. I'm on a relatively mild mood stabilizer, so maybe it should be increased or changed, but I'll leave that decision to my psychiatrist.
Today was a mixed bag. I woke up early and played a Pokémon game, which was good, and then felt really down for hours, then okay again. It's weird. Mental illness is weird. I did get to go to the tea café and a library, which was nice.
