Description: The Joys and Pains of Schizophrenic Living in a Chronically Sane World
Been staying up late most nights lately and usually sleeping until late morning. It seems to help with my depression and anxiety. I generally do better research and writing in the overnight hours when the house and neighborhood are quiet. Of course my mom worries about me keeping such odd hours and sleeping so much during the day. As of right now it’s not effecting my anxiety or even blood pressure. It seems to work for me right now.
I think I’m losing weight again after gaining 20 pounds in the first three months I moved to Oklahoma. I try not to focus on numbers so much as I do how my clothing fits, how many aches and pains I have, and how much I actually eat. Since switching to mostly meats and vegetables, I have found that I eat less often and my hunger is more manageable. I usually eat once if I’m up in the middle of the night.
I’ve been quite stable this August. Normally, August is the toughest time of year for me. Last August when I was in physical rehab was quite tough. I had issues with my roommate and my aches and pains in my feet and knees still hadn’t completely cleared. Summer 2022 was tough. I actually made my peace with the fact that I might not live long enough to move to Oklahoma. Thankfully, that never came to pass.
