Goals for February 27th to March 6th

 On Sunday night I like to sit down and come up with a brief list of goals. These items are unrelated to cleaning and usually involve minor things that I seek to achieve. I thought that it would be fun to share these goals with my readers. Over time you will see that some of these goals repeat themselves. That is not because I did not reach them but because they are ones that I feel the need to be constant. 

On Mondays I will be posting short term goals for the week along with items that are on my long term list. Those on my long term goal list will more than likely change as I either complete one task or add newer one. Then on Sunday nights I will post which goals I achieved. If I did not achieve all my goals I will include the reasons why.

I forgot to post last night so I am going to start with the goals that I didn't meet from last week.

*I slipped a few times with my diet and exercise. It was difficult meeting this one due to the vending machine at work. Thankfully I only gained two pounds because of this. I am small to begin with so some weight gain is okay. I am just trying to stop the massive amounts that are associated with Zyprexa.

*Between homework, housework and appointments I didn't get to read to my son every single night.


Goals for the week of February 27th to March 6th

* To be less irritable. This past week my irritability really came back.
* Work more on this blog to reach a wider audience. I know that this goal is not illness related but since my blog is about my illness I thought that I would include this.
*Work on relaxing more. I need some time to just unwind some more to help with stress level.

Sex and Mental Illness

Mental health issues can have a great impact on sexual health. Sex is sometimes considered a taboo subject for people and getting them to talk about it can be difficult. The effects of mental health on ones sex life can also be an embarrassment, from behaviors that lead to risky sexual practices to loss of libido from depression or the medications used to treat mental illness. These impacts can greatly distress a person and even sometimes cause rifts in relationships.

Impact of schizoaffective disorder :Part One

How schizoaffective disorder impacted the relationship with my family is both complex and in some way difficult to explain. The paranoia that I have often manifests in feelings and thoughts that people are out to hold me back or destroy me. Couple this with the fact that illness also can make me think that people can read my mind and that they are judging me based upon my thoughts and it quickly becomes a shit storm.

Impact of Schizoaffective Disorder : Part two

Besides family issues having schizoaffective disorder presents challenges when it comes to working. I currently hold a part time low skill job. This job is both beneath my intellectual capacity and skill set. I work this job because it allows me to work in a relatively low stress environment. It also helps that it is close to where I live since I do not drive. I don't drive because I have a paranoid belief that I am going to be involved in an accident. As a passenger I am able(or at least I try to) to meditate and distract my mind of these thoughts. For years I held the belief that this might be the result of some underlying anxiety disorder. When I was diagnosed as having schizoaffective disorder it became pretty clear that is yet another falsely held paranoid belief. Also being easily distracted by stimuli in the environment means that I would be a distracted driver, something that does not lend itself to safe driving skills.
