| Couldn't sleep last night. Went to bed at 5 in the morning and woke up at 10. I'm feeling like I'm not going to sleep again. I was really scared last night. |

I have to stim a lot. I used to get made fun of for flapping my hands. I don't do it anymore. In public I just rub my fingers together or move them.
At home I like to spin in circles, rock, or pace. Sometimes I want to do those things in public but don't want a strange reaction. |

| I've had people laugh at me or just visibly judge me. Sometimes I go to a restaurant and I'm not always looking my best. I think I once heard one of the employees say I was "crazy". Sometimes I get that on the bus too. I think I even hallucinated in public and I'm embarrassed about it. I t... |

| I think that's ok. I used to feel ashamed about it. But I think part of maturing for me is accepting things, Being able to be reasonable about my support needs, and not being so ashamed. I do need help with my hygeine, cleaning, laundry etc. I can do them on my own but I need a lot of reminders. I n... |

| I sometimes can't sleep when I'm depressed. The sadness hurts. I also get restless and agitated. I feel energy but negatively. I sometimes just feel so bad I cannot feel comfortable. I just cry for hours and feel shaky. I want to know how to sleep when I feel this way. |

| I can sort of tell if I'm about to enter a state of unreality. I just can't during it. I've noticed I get a feeling of distortion. Like flashes of light, objects appearing, or start doubting my medication . I can predict certain feelings. I'll get a weird feeling in my body, and start having random ... |

| I haven't felt really ok since I was 16. Although I had a rough time when I was 14. However I'm just not like I was. Even though I was sad at 14, I had more hope and was better mentally. My baseline was way better. Now my baseline seems to be paranoid thoughts I can dismiss and feeling very on edge.... |

I've been having minor hallucinations(objects, sometimes just a person standing there, or flashes). Honestly it's... |

| They've all caused intolerable side effects. Restlessness, dizziness, puking, not being able to sleep. I'm on a mood stabilizer/antipsychotic and an anti anxiety. They're the only ones I haven't had bad side effects from. Abilify seems to be the only one that's never caused side effects. Other peopl... |

Like painting rainbows and random shapes. I like to write poetry and letters that are poems. They're letters to rando... |
