Update 'I'm Progressing' says my therapist |
Jun 15 2012 |
Since my Lithium dosage has been decreased from 900 to 600 i have more energy and my thinking is clearer. Today I feel fantastic i'm a '6' been feeling great this is day 5 now of this wonderfulstate of mind i'm in...i hope this lasts. Two weeks ago i was lacking energy & motivation i was having trouble with my kids they were misbehaving and I was trying hard to discipline them and i was stressing out at the same time, i ended up shutting down, isolating and withdrawing from everyone and would do this for days at times sometimes it was mild so i was still functioning ok the difference now is when i'm in that bad frame of mind i'm more accepting about how i'm feeling, this has been a real bonus, for so long i'd fight it and stuffed my feelings now i'm allowing these feelings to surface and this is not so scary anymore...been seeing my therapist for a yr every 2ks and now its going to be 3wks and he said i'm progressing and maybe now is the time to go back into my childhood and/or past memories i may be carrying around baggage i want to get rid of...i agree so my next therapy apt. we will focus on this.
I'm still doing my EMDR stress management/relaxation CD daily and i go into a meditative state i need to meditate daily it puts me in the right 'frame of mind' in order to do well emotionally for the day, its such a soothing peaceful experience, been doing this for a yr now.

Keep letting out your feelings and doing what you need to. I guess you knew better then your Doc too when it came to lowering your dosages
