I'm waiting for my blood test this morning. Then off to Church to help out. The noise from the traffic seemed a bit much this morning. I had wear ear defenders as I walked past it all.

Done evening prayers 🙏 from the daily prayer app.
Now in bed with Snoopy watching The Expanse. I feel most safest in bed with Snoopy ☺️.

Well I feel more rested these past few days. Keeping on top of some disordered thinking. I have a bit of an obsessive stim of saying "Allahu Akbar" to myself lately. It's a very stimmie phrase. Though has no real meaning or use for me.

I've been for my morning walk. The walk helps my groggyness. I saw 4 Dogs 🐕. There was a dog a bit ahead of me on a lead who was grumpy growling at the other dogs. Plan to have a shave and do my laundry soon. I also need to put the bins out later.

Done my evening prayers. I hope God was able to listen to me tonight. I try to be a good follower of Christ 🙏.
I'm now under my duvet in bed with Snoopy next to me watching The Expanse.

I've been thinking about my psychiatrist appointment next week. I will think about it further. I do sometimes wonder if dropping my Paliperidone dose would be helpful but I may cope less well. I want to see what the GP says first really. To confirm if it is POTS or not.

I had a shower early and got into my PJs. I do pretty well with my self care really. Many people with my condition don't. Having a early dinner too as have microwave roast beef dinner. I have a lot of plastic to wash up and clean after for my recycling bin.

The amount of times I think of suicide on some days like today is crazy really. Not planning to but my mind seems to suggest it quite a lot. I just try to be kind to myself. Low stress helps. I'm relieved I have nothing on today.

I've been for a walk this morning. Sadly I saw no dogs 🐕. I went to bed at 9pm last night and didn't take long to sleep. I managed to get up before 9am this morning which was good. I often find I'm more lethargic Mondays but not too bad today.

I'm so fortunate to have my Church. It is a real blessing. I'm so thankful 🙂.

Church was good. Glad I went again. Sermon was about Matthew 6:25-34 where Jesus tells us not to worry about your life. That was rather affirming as I'm a terrible worrier. I actually have that printed on my wall next to my bed.

I had breaded chicken, chips and coleslaw for dinner which was nice again. I've got Gladiators on as it's an easy watch. I will probably watch another Expanse episode before bed. I'm feeling ok just trying not to think too much about the future.

Bit early this evening. I have already had a shower and done my evening prayers from the daily prayer app. There was a lot of singing in that one which was nice.
BBC iPlayer seems to have some older episodes of Pilgrimage on so I've got that on at the moment.

My supermarket shopping 🛒 came 20 minutes before my slot. I literally had just got dressed so couldn't have timed it better. I felt dizzy bending down packing all my shopping again so I guess its POTS. After a short rest I went for a walk and initially didn't see any Dogs.

Well I've survived another week. I found this week difficult but coped better than usual. Time for my Friday burger and chips.

I updated the order for my supermarket shopping for tomorrow and watched an episode of The Expanse. I've collected my prescription medication from pharmacy - they are so reliable. Feeling better today than earlier this week.

I've been out for my walk this morning. I didn't see any Dogs sadly but it is drizzly and I was out a bit late this morning. I didn't sleep too well. I kept waking up. Got to go and get my prescription from the pharmacy later.

I'm really enjoying watching 'The Expanse'. It's been something that has helped me cope the last 2 weeks. I haven't seen TV as good as this in a long time.
