Monkey's Magical Treehouse of Awesomeness

[galled]

Going with the flow is great EXCEPT when you see something wrong with the flow. If that happens I find that I'll try and find away around the flow. Barring that, I'll fight the flow. My problem is once I reach that point, I obsess until I either change things or find I can't take it any further.

Regarding decision making, I think the trick is learn to identify which decisions are worth more consideration and which are not. The rule of thumb is gauging the downside of a bad decision. If the decision's worse case scenario isn't life altering and can't be taken back, then I feel I can go with more of a gut instinct decision rather than stressing over it for a long time. I guess I've learned to do are quick upside/downside evaluations of types of decisions. All you need to know is if you can't come up with really bad downside almost immediately, it usually sticks the amount of consideration way down the scale.

I suppose that's true, but it'll be hard to put it into practice.

[galled]

Of course like everything, everyone gets better with practice!

[npixelz]

True, true. Though I'll probably forget to practice. ^^

Eh, it's been rocky, but I'll manage. I'm getting so stressed out that i end up sleeping all day andplayinganewrouteonmysticmessenger

That's why I haven't been so active. I've just been stressed and anxious.

[galled]

Sorry to hear that. Meds making things better or worse?

[npixelz]

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that! ><

[MonkeyGirl18]

I'm not really sure if it's the meds, even though it might as well be.

It had affected me to an extent. I don't go into a panic quite as easily or quite as bad, but I still panic sometimes.

Once I run out of the meds and make a follow-up appt, I'm going to tell them everything that I've experienced of course and maybe it might lead to changing meds altogether.

Definitely let them know how you have been doing on the meds, I would write it down and bring a list with you because if you are like me, you tend to forget what you wanted to say when you are there and remember after you have left!

[npixelz]

In the past, when my anger issues were worse, the psychiatrist kept upping my meds. It turned out later on, that he was upping them way too much, and that just made me angrier. It's worth noting.

I played doki doki literature club and I didn't think it would make my anxiety get bad.... I shoulda listened to the warnings.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

yay! Monk! I've sent you and your sister gift boxes ( let Bassy know) so that you don't miss out.

[MonkeyGirl18]

Yeah, things just been busy, trying to get used to my new job....


Oh, did I mention I quit McDonalds and got a new job? Well, I did. Was only out of a job for 1 day, thank God!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Holy moley ! No I didn't see you post that! Congratulations!! Having a work resume certainly helps in getting the next job I bet.

How is the new job going? Are you getting more hours? More pay?

[MonkeyGirl18]

Def getting my 40 hours a week at this job and it pays $10 an hour.
