Schizoaffective Disorder

So apparently my BP and HR were very high and my nurse has been tracking it. She wants to get an updated list of my meds. Luckily Pauley has a spreadsheet of my meds, doctors, and procedures. I'll have her email my nurse.
The invega trinza injection hurts like hell and she kept apologizing. For the price of having 3 months with no symptoms I'm happy. I haven't heard voices in over 7 months. And I haven't wanted to kill myself in over 6 years.
If I had a car I'd try to become a peer support specialist. I've been told by many healthcare professionals that I would really do good work and I'm really good at listening and helping talk out solutions.
The one thing that she mentioned is coffee raises BP and HR which I knew. I probably drink maybe 30-40 oz per day. But I haven't had any coffee yet today.
I didn't bring my walker to my appointment. I was out of breath and gasping by the time I got up the stairs to the 2nd floor where I live. It's just 17 steps but I have so much going on with my health. It might as well been a mile.
I am craving fried green tomatoes and fried okra and fried cabbage with bacon and OMG fried smashed plantains! Southern/Jamaican food makes my soul happy.
My arm is gonna be achy for a few days. Nowhere near the pain I get in my hips.

My son is 35 and was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder ~8 years ago. He’s had a handful of major psychotic episodes, two that ended in short hospital stays. The last one was severe, it terrified him so much that he lost his sight for months. He worked really hard with us (his parents) and his medical providers to regain his vision. Right after, he started taking his meds without being reminded, he decided to go back to school, found a part-time job, and talked openly of his future. I went out of town for 5 days a couple of months ago to babysit my grandsons while my daughter had surgery. When I got home I noticed almost immediately that he was having mild symptoms. He admitted he might have missed a day or two of his meds. Since then, he quit school, quit work, and has grown increasingly more irritable with me. He won’t voluntarily take his meds, and resents the fact that I insist he take them. He often plays a game where he’ll throw a pillow at me on the sofa or pretend to put it over my face. I’ll laugh it off and say “Don’t smother the mother”. But tonight he put it over my face and actually applied a bit of pressure. I’m not afraid of my son, but should I be concerned?

I have schizo-affective disorder, PTSD, Anxiety, T1D, and addiction. Has anyone had a bad reaction to pot? I have been sober for 1,560 days over four years from hard drugs, but I rationalize the usage of pot because it is not a hard drug and it is better than my old drug of choice which was speed yet pot and I don't mix well, yet I can't seem to quit and it is increasing my mental health symptoms...any thoughts on this?

So, I live with schizoaffective disorder and OCD, and my baseline is depressed honestly. But I spent a year writing a book, and it's like my pain turned into something beautiful when I published it on Amazon. Beauty for ashes as they say. I'm beyond excited. My author copies arrive tomorrow in the mail. I'm not gonna post a link cause I'm not trying to sell it on here. I'm just happy that my pain turned out to mean something and I wanted to post a little blurb about my happiness. #Depression #MentalHealth #SchizoaffectiveDisorder
