Schizoaffective Disorder

I've posted before about how changing your phone's wallpapers us a good thing to do. Keeps things fresh, beautiful, inspirational, or whatever type wallpaper you choose. These are 2 paintings I got off Pinterest. I love the one on my left for Lock Screen, and the other for Home Screen. I find it lifts my mood. #Schizophrenia , #Bipolar2 , #Depression #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #MentalHealth

Widgets from your phone calendar app can help alot. If not, download one that does. (I like "Good Calendar" app) & I also like to have a "physical" planner (which are on sale this time of year) I easily get feeling #overwhelmed into a state of stagnation & procrastination. Then things don't get done & just keep building up. Increasing the anxiety & stress, turning "overwhelmed" into #confused & #disoriented . which can spin,spiral, & snowball out of control. Which left unmanaged, can lead to #Psychosis &/or take my #SuicidalIdeation to a dangerous point . #SuicidePrevention #Suicide #SuicideAttemptSurvivors #Schizophrenia #Depression #SchizoaffectiveDisorder

For some of us, we have a really hard time opening up and being honest with our friends or partners when something is really bothering us.
We tend to feel nervous that they will react poorly, or want to leave us.
But on the flip side, how can they fix it 🔨 if we don't show them what's broken?

Today, think on how you can open up with your friend or partner and let them know what needs to be fixed.

One thing I know for sure is that depression can be incredibly draining. From overthinking and ruminating thoughts to insomnia—and the isolating cycles I often find myself in—it can feel never-ending. What helps me the most is sticking to a schedule and giving myself permission to move slowly throughout the day. I make it a point to be kind to myself and manage my expectations.

What helps you get through your day?

Today, I wanted to share this question and ask- If you saw this posted on a bulletin board somewhere, which tab would you "tear off?"

I'm gonna place my order for groceries tomorrow for delivery on Monday. It's supposed to snow all day tomorrow. It snowed just enough today to be a nuisance and force me to have to cancel my date. I'm gonna get some fancy fish and other really yummy treats.

I gotta try to spend my food stamps wisely. I'm trying to find food that pauley and I can both eat together. She actually encouraged me to get things for myself so I ordered a few little things. One thing I ordered for myself is a frozen family size Stouffer's meatloaf. I've been craving it for a while. I enjoy using it for sandwiches. I figured it would last a long time so I don't need much for lunch food.

I'm also getting a jar of peach mango salsa. Pauley has never had salsa and she hates tomato... But when I told her about the salsa, she said she'd be interested in trying it cuz it sounds really good. I really love it. I only get it maybe once each year. It's a special treat. I'm also getting single serve cups of guacamole cuz I'm getting pork carnitas again. I'm gonna make epic pork burritos next week. I'm actually really excited about it. I know it's silly.

Tomorrow @pauleyholm and I are gonna try to have a romantic at home date. We're gonna have a tea party. I'm gonna make her some cinnamon tea and for myself I'll make some roasted pumpkin caramel rooibos tea. I was gonna make sandwiches but I just thought of doing French toast instead and she said she likes that idea better.

We had a good deep heart to heart about how much I need to get out even just once per month. I want to go to a coffee shop called Biggby. They make some amazing coffee and their bagel sandwich is superb. I would love to bring my sketchbook or a journal and my pens and my headphones and just drink coffee and be happy. It's what I need to recharge.

My mental health has been kinda poor for a few months. I've been gaining weight. I'm almost at 240 now. I need to be more active. I think maybe I should find a local mall and do some walking. I can treat myself with coffee. That's a good idea.
