Hello
well today wasnt too bad. I had a visit with my councilor. She had alot of good advice and she made good sence today. I am feeling better but I still cant bring myself to relax and feel at peace inside. Im starting to think Ill never relax again. For someone whos mind is constantly going and racing, I have very little to say. Im loosing all my conversation skills. I even have trouble thinking of what to talk about to my husband. I worry im getting too boreing and no one will want to be around me. Does anyone ever miss how the were before they were diagnosed? I do I feel I used to be a fun person and I think years of meds and not being able to work have changed me. At times Id like to stop taking my meds { I wont }but I think it would be interesting to feel the fun again. Have meds changed anyone else? I dont have high times anymore. I dont drink or do drugs so I have no social lubrication. what do some of you do to give you a upward boost?

Cooking people food helps.
Tough if you don't drink and you are around others drinking to fit in, I know this too well.
Inviting people to do stuff with you is tough but you have a lot to offer. My Pdoc told me I had a great smile and people like to be around people who smile.
