I am almost done with my makeup and I am starting to feel weird. My stomach is acting up again and I am feeling tired but also sort of ADHD.

I only have 30 minutes until my mom gets here so I need to finish my makeup. I am taking small breaks to write down the make up I need to buy on my online shopping list.

Last night was weird too. On top of having a hard time going to bed, I had this weird feeling in my throat, like a piece of food was refusing to go down or something. It could have been a hair or dust too but I have no idea, no matter how much I coughed or scraped my tongue, it didn't change. I finally mouthwash'd and it kind of helped but didn't go away. It is back again.

My mom called and she said she'd get me something to eat but I went ahead and made some noodles for breakfast. The tickle in my throat sort of went away since the noodles were spicy so I am glad about that but, spicy food with coffee is a disaster waiting to happen.

I guess I need to close the windows and such to before my mom gets here. Lock everything up and whatnot.

I finally got home from school and my neighbor was outside their house. We chatted a bit and she talked about her and her son's plans for Halloween trick or treating.

After getting my hair cut and having dinner at my mom's I came back home at 7pm and still need to do homework. I guess I should be grateful I don't have to worry about food at least.

After seeing the Japanese syllabus and modules ( supplementary online learning lessons ) I am pretty sure I am not going to have any problems this term. The only thing would be is if she wanted us to write the Kanji by hand, I would have to practice that more as I don't really write Kanji with a pencil/pen as much anymore.

I don't know if that knowledge triggered a manic episode in me or the caffeine earlier but I feel very hyper now. I am a bit worried but, I chose to not take my abilify and do weed so I have to accept the consequences and learn how to deal with it on my own. I figure if I have energy like this, it means I need to use it so I just stick to my Todo list more fiercely and hope it keeps me in line.

I am finally working on the Power point presentation properly but there is a bit of a learning curve here with the program.

Afte about an hour, I figured out some of the things I wanted to do with the slide and sent it to the teacher. Yay, all done. Now I have to do math but since it is 11:30pm I am going to wait until tomorrow to do it or work on other things to prepare for tomorrow.

You know what? I am tired of feeling ashamed of being high energy right now. I am going to dance around to this Kpop music if I want. I am happy and alive, I don't need to apologize to anyone for that.

I looked up some side effects of going off of abilify though since I have been having some stomach issues and my tongue hurts.

Stopping Abilify can cause withdrawal symptoms, which vary in type and severity, and can include insomnia, anxiety, nausea, headaches, dizziness, tremors, and mood changes. Other less common but possible symptoms are sweating, flu-like symptoms, and movement disorders. You may also experience a return of the original mental health symptoms you were treating, or other effects like restlessness and agitation.
