Update
I came back last evening so that I could change out clothes and sleep in my own bed. It's not that Dmitri's bed isn't comfortable! Being there with him is comforting, I just like my own bed, too. The familiar, ya know?
School starts on Tuesday. We would start on Monday but that's Labor Day. I'm ready for it to be underway. It may be a long weekend in Meyerland. I'm not sure yet. I kinda reverted to my hermit-mode when I was away from Dmitri so I'm trying to get used to being around someone again. I like being social but there's also something in me that uncoils when I'm around people for too long that wraps around my neck and only relents when I'm alone in my room. Social phobia of some sort? Anti-social behavior? I could go on but it's really not necessary.
There's a 23-24 year old Brit named John (I know the name is dangerous) who is Schizoaffective, like me. His is Schizophrenia and Depression whereas mine is Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder. So close enough. I understand the crippling depression. I think he had something close to a Manic episode when he had his nervous breakdown a few years back. He's started the I'm Just Human Project on YouTube. I made a video last night and followed his instructions to be included on the project's page. Haven't heard back from him yet and I'm not up on the page yet so I'm just waiting for conformation. This is all assuming he's still alive. I know, that's morbid, but it's a possibility. Should you feel the need to hear what I had to say on the subject or are just curious as to what I look and sound like, my video's link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWSkW6Paj9A. It should also give you a better understanding of the tone of my posts and how they flow from me. My mannerisms and my facial expressions, etc. I'm toying with starting a weekly vlog about my life with a mental illness. I don't expect a bunch of followers but if it gives one person some measure of hope, then it's worth it.
