getting there...
Today was a better day than yesterday. I took a walk and it felt great. I felt like I could have gone 2 miles, but I haven't done that in a while so I just went for 1.5 miles. If I'm feeling up to it, tomorrow I will do the 2 miles. I just didn't want to go from 1.2 miles to 2 miles in a day. But the weather was nice and I just wanted to keep on going. It was cloudy and a bit of cool wind.
I see my old psych tomorrow... I want her opinion on my meds. I haven't seen her in years, but she always took good care of me. I hope she remembers me. I don't know if she will without Geo... Everyone remembers Geo because of his size (6 foot 7, over 500 pounds) so I get remembered when I'm with him. My psych is nice, too. When I didn't have money for pills, she gave me samples to last the month. I have insurance now, so I don't have to get samples I can get it on my own. I want to go back on Seroquel since I had good luck with that until I wore it out. It's been a few years, so I think if I re-start it I will have benefits from it again. It also helped me sleep which is something I desperately need.
Speaking of sleep, last night I slept well. I talked on the phone to a friend, and I fell asleep without pills around 11:30. It was a good night. I did have diarrhea when I woke up, though. I keep getting it and I don't know why. I have my doctor's appointment on Friday so I'm going to ask him then. It could be from the Depakote withdrawals or something else. I will also tell my psych to let her know too. The headaches and body aches I've been getting lately are part of it too. I just have to take it slow.
So I'm getting there... almost good, but not quite there yet. After my walk today I felt great, but it didn't last too long. My shins ache and the balls of my feet hurt too. I can't wait until the 3rd when I get paid and can get new workout clothes. My weight is back up into the 230's again (231.0) but I think it's because I haven't been drinking enough water so I'm retaining. I hope my walk today helps, and I'm back into the 220's tomorrow.

you are doing great on your goal of journaling every day. yeah on a good nights sleep, but not good about the diarehha, how long has this been going on? glad you are seeing your old doctor, what does seroqual do? I know what you mean by wanting to keep walking, I have done that and regret it later, my knee and hip hurt like heck. you listened to your mind and it was a good thing. I hope all these withdrawals symptoms end soon. hugsss
