My Past Few Months

 
I haven't been typing in my journal for a while now because I was so busy with my family and my dog (Beethoven). My moods had been up and down for the past few months. Earlier this month, I was worry about Beethoven because two large dogs bit him. I'm glad his shots are up to date. Now he is better. Thank God! I was so stressed this month that I forgot to take care of myself. Now I am taking care of myself by having a quiet time to myself everyday.
 
My friend Sheiquita was stressing me out too because of her relationship with her boyfriend.  The next time she talked about her boyfriend, I'm going to give her a time limit because my mind can't take all of that. I'm glad she doesn't call me everyday.
 
My nurse practitioner had put me on Risperdal because I won't be able to get Geodon ( my original medication) next year.  Risperdal made me crazy. I was having a manic episode. I was taking 0.5 mg of Risperdal. Maybe it was a low dose. I had to stop taking it and get back on Geodon. I wasn't getting any sleep with Risperdal.
I'm still taking Pristiq and Trazodone. I'm taking 180 mg of Geodon. I will ask my pdoc can I lower my dosages on Geodon because I still be sleepy in the morning.
 
So far I am doing well mentally. I'm not depressed and not manic. I just need to work on my anxiety. It is not too bad. Well I'm off.
