Feeling great, and praying it stays like this forever!

Jan 20 2008

I know it is a long shot thinking I am going to be feeling like this forever, but I am going to keep believing I will. My pdoc took me off effexor and trileptol because of side effects: high blood pressure, severe!!!! headaches, fluid retention, awful mood swings, and hot/cold flashes, and severe stomach spasms and cramping. I am now taking Cymbalta, I love it, never felt this good, and then 40mg Geodon to help me sleep, and boy does it work. So between how good Cymbalta makes me feel and sleeping awesome, I feel like a new person.

I also know having Christ in my life is very very important. When I push him away my life falls apart. When I keep him right next to me, my life stays on track. I have kept my job with Best Buy for 3 months, I have quit smoking, I am losing weight(alot of weight), eating like I should, and sleeping great. My kids have noticed and so have my friends and my love, my soulmate who has also made a huge difference by supporting me and loving me more then he ever has. My life is so good right now, and I REFUSE, do you hear me! I REFUSE!!! to let it go back to the way it was. If it does go back it will be MY fault for letting it.

So diary as you can see and hear, I am doiing great right now. I will check in again in a month or so and let you know it is still going GREAT!

It has been a long time since I wrote in my diary and things can't be better. I feel great and haven't had any episodes in a very long time. I can feel when I am beginning to become manic and I tell Terry my fiance and he watches me closely and supports me through the hardest part of the episodes and we get through it with no problems. I'm still on cymbalta and geodon and they work great for me!
