feeling better

On 20mg of zyprexa morning and night and 50mg of lamictal morning and I do feel better and am sleeping some. I moved to the living room to sleep and since there is no snoring I can get some sleep. I stopped crafts for a while and have been coloring for the past few days. It helps but going back to crafting. I had a problem of a complaint about noise and stopped crafting but she is crazy and I cannot let the B**ch win this time I am only hurting myself stopping crafts so I will just be quiet. Other than that I feel good the lamictal has to be raised but it is doing something. Feeling more motivated and energetic More active and generally in a good mood

I’m an artist and I want to encourage you to pursue crafts if that’s what you’re inclined to. Especially for people like myself with mental disorders, art/crafts is a very soothing and rewarding past time and truly helps balance out our moods.

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
