My anxiety has many sources, from having untreated mental illness that wasn’t treated, to having a hernia, and more. Anxiety can just be a mental health problem that increases when I do not get enough sleep, although that is not the case this morning. Anxiety is merely a feeling of uneasiness, a feeling of something not being quite right, and you are not alone in this because anxiety is a common mental illness that is found all over the planet. Anxiety is a feeling while anxiety disorder is a mental health problem.
Anxiety does keep us safe by telling us we are in an unsafe scenario or situation, while worrying is also a symptom of the illness, which can cause a lack of feeling safe. I used to have really bad panic attacks/panic disorder, because I drank too much coffee, since coffee is a very toxic substance for me. I have conquered all my phobias by now, although my agoraphobia is sky high from the virus, and imagining the virus lurking on every street corner. Surviving this pandemic is simple, stay away from people, wear a mask, and I really don’t get those who won’t wear one. I will. My anxiety is really bad right now anyway.

Writer’s block comes from having a former “friend” I blocked on Facebook, was making fun of a book cover. My writing supposedly had grammatical errors in it. I felt a block in fiction writing come up as soon as I wrote my first book under my name. I’m a touch embarrassed about the book content, so I’m tempted to republish under a pen name. I’m also trying to figure out other ways of using my BA in creative writing, a degree, which says I can handle criticism. But anyway, yes, the book is out there, and I have writer’s block in fiction, because I’m wary of staying up the whole night reading fiction in one shot. I have to take breaks, and make sure I do not stay up the whole night. I’m the sort of person who reads more than one book.
I was a young, impressionable 18 years old who was introduced to drinking, and of my own free will I became an alcoholic in a few short months. Someone with diabetes, low blood platelets, and hypothyroidism should not be drinking but the hypothyroid was not treated properly until I got stable in 2003. Yes, my family did interfere, and somehow often sabotaged my attempts to get a psychiatrist. I wound up going to one who was not a schizoaffective believe. Then I was stuck seeing internists for most of my college career, studying creative writing and little else. I was bound to go to school, even when I managed to live in the City for a while. Yes, I was kept in the dark about a lot of my health problems, and I didn’t know how to tackle the 22q in general until this year, since I found out I have autoimmune thrombocytopenia, which could turn serious, even if I don’t “look,” sick.
Workaholism is all about trying to get a lot of work done in anything the addict needs to do this with. I was a caffeine addict in college, trying to survive my chronic fatigue syndrome, while living at home, taking the bus to school, which would more often than not, wind up making me sick with pneumonia or bronchitis. Mr. Hernia does leave ample opportunities for me to get these illnesses. But anyway, caffeine addiction was a thing–I had no idea about in my 20s, although I was also a sugar addict. You see, my illnesses were kept from me, since I didn’t know much about schizoaffective until I took Psych 1 for general ed, and got the idea that I wanted to study psychology, but I did creative writing instead as less of a strain on my mind.
Back then, sugar made me break out in bright red acne pimples. I asked for Proactiv to fix it, and fix it did. But what I needed was a proper mental health diagnosis and proper medication. I guess schizoaffective scared my family. I didn’t know that OCD was something I was also dealing with also. I didn’t know jack because I didn’t have access to the self-help books I have now, or the knowledge from seeing a proper psychiatrist in 2012.
Telepathy – The ability to read/hear people’s thoughts, also known as extrasensory perception or at least the direct mind-to-mind form of communication that is considered telepathy. I have this skill. In polite circles, we call ourselves “psychic” but a psychic to me is someone who reads for people as a way to make a living. It is a flexible schedule that requires certifications to be earned about multiple different topics. I have decided that all my talents are real, regardless of what skeptics say, regardless of my own skepticism. I’ve run into other telepaths in my day, online and in the real world.
Workaholism is marked by specific symptoms, which can be aggravated by a specific kind of lifestyle or workplace culture. Workaholics have less of a social life, hobby, and generally lack time for much except their work or so they perceive. Workaholism could be considered an addiction-based illness only because a workaholic does not do much aside from work. Workaholics talk about work a lot to the point of not being able to do much other than work. Workaholics get physical pain like headaches, fatigue and indigestion, and bipolar workaholics are prone to mood swings, even as they forget things, like hobbies or their relationships, which balances their personal life. Workaholics are distant from people they are close to. Workaholics get insomnia, a lot from not being able to let go of their work. Workaholics like any addiction, need support from their friends in order to break their addiction.

Summertime is a time of wiggy for me because of the light in the air. What causes sleeplessness in the summer is actually the fact that it gets light earlier, and darker later. If spring can make someone wired and tired, then summer can make these mental health symptoms worse. I’m able to sleep while it is light outside, by now, and I’m doing way better this summer than I have during any other summers. Mental health symptoms are cyclical in nature for everybody dealing with schizoaffective disorder. Eventually my symptoms improve in August, September and October if my symptoms are not that bad, but I can have another flare in October if I don’t get enough sleep, from Indian summer which should not get that hot this year.
My ideas list is headed somewhere- as in putting together every article I have on that list. Not every article will sell, granted, along with not every story selling, but it is a long list. I have a list choc full of ideas ready to go. I’m going to utilize this list in the coming years to make sure I can make money. Bitch Media is a powerful magazine that truly pays a writer what they are worth; my list is thus valuable only because it is designed this way. I’m doing my very best to be productive here, so I’m trying my darndest to get stuff done, and Hub pages is another Internet site that can publish my work on it, in an automatic way but today I’m doing Vocal Media again, since I need to get my readership up higher for that website.
When you trigger narcissistic injury, look out, first, because you will get a classic narcissist out-of-control response. Triggering them is very easy; all you have to do is tell the truth. They try to gaslight you but you respond with what the truth is. The truth is too complicated for them to stomach. They can’t stand it. They want the people around you to believe their slander and lies. This is why no contact works well. The narcissist wants you to believe a certain thing they say, like the lines at the store are long right now, but then again they aren’t necessarily that long. I can get said person to admit that the lines aren’t really very long and apologize. That was gaslighting me to make me feel guilty for asking for help.
