Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
I'm making cabbage & ham, built a new cat tree and redid the front porch for Fall.
Housecleaning now! Fun, fun. Lol
I've stopped taking my Ativan and that seems to be working okay. Just taking the antipsychotic now.
Lots to do but chipping away.
GT, congrats on breaking from the Ativan! I had the experience of having a few hard days but it balanced out soon enough alongside remaining meds.
I like that we have a “space” where we can connect on things that we can’t normally chat about in everyday life. It’s important!
I recently went through a big project where I was attuned to past manias playing a role. I did it! Without falling apart AND actually completing what I intended to achieve! I managed my sleep, my anxiety, and stayed focus on the work even with hundreds of external factors present all around. I had meaningful bonds closeby that I think really really helped.
Just bringing it up bc I think it’s important to know that there is growth in managing mental illness and a LOT is possible.
