Goals for the week of February 20th -27th

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.  So without any further ado I present to you my goals.

Short term goals for the week of February 20th -27th :

  • Read for at least 30 minutes each day.
  • Increase my exercise routine from 15 minutes a day to 20 minutes a day.
  • More closely watch my diet and record it daily.
  • Read with my son every night.
  • Spend quality time with family


Long Term goals for 2017:

  • Achieve and maintain stability
  • Mend poor relationship with parents
  • Become more educated on my illness
  • Achieve and Maintain a healthy life style

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.
