 So... this week i am supposed to go for blood work before starting my new medication. I'm somewhat worried about the new medication because it could literally kill me in so many ways. I'd hate for my life to end simply because i couldn't go to the bathroom but that is one of the potential risks of the medication. Also... Another potential risk of the medication is that i get a cold and that kills me. It's going to require weekly blood work for the next six months... as well as weekly doctors visits to get a gauge of whether or not the medication is working. On the flip side... I've heard wonderful things in terms of Schizoaffective Disorder and the Keto diet. There's a youtuber who indicated that after three months on the Keto diet... symptoms dropped dramatically. So I'm debating on changing my diet and see if it's helpful... Or... going on the new medication. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday at 9am where i am going to make the final decisio...

 Today is a good day. I am waiting for Katie to go to work so i can head down to my parents and bring my sister and her husband up to Logan. Katie leaves in about an hour so i have some time to kill. This past weekend was good. Overall, it was nice to have my sister in town. We hung out 2 out off the 3 days she was here. It's interesting being a DD. Generally when i go out... I go out alone so I'm the only one in charge of me. With that said, Having someone to hang out with instead of going out alone adds an interesting Dynamic to everything. While the paranoid thoughts associated with going out didn't diminish, they actually seemed somewhat amplified by the fact that i was now in charge of two other people's safety. Overall... it was a good time though. I got my first unemployment check. Considering its an income source (small... but still an income). What it does is reinforce the fact that I have to start driving for Uber as soon as i get my car back from the Auto Bod...
