Feeling pretty good

Jul 14 2009

I am feeling pretty good these days.  I believe my bipolar is under control, at last at last and my hypothyroidism is under control too. 

I am still having trouble with sleeping butam working on it.  I started seroquel but man that stuff kicks my ass.  I started at 400mgs and am down to 25 and still feel like a drunk when I wake up.  Not sure if I will be sticking with it or not.  I still have trouble falling asleep even with it.  I think we might go to a stronger anti-anxiety med next.  I have racing thoughts that don't quit and think something stronger might help.  In spite of this stuff I still feel better than I have in ages.

 I recently had my thyroid checked again since I am no longer on lithium.  Not sure how much it will tell since I am on levo anyway.  Seems like that might cause a false reading.

 I am sorry again to everyone I have ignored in the hypo forum.  I know I have apologized before but I think if any of you read this you will know how sorry I am for ignoring my duties as group leader.

Now for my weight.  I have lost all but two pounds.  I feel great!  Going from 194.6 down to 160 has done me a world of good and my therapist thinks it helps my mood too.  Everyone says  I look great.  It feels so good to hear that.

 Right now I have fivce of my grandchildren here with me and they are driving me crazy.  Either kids are brattier than they used to be or I have less patience.  I never thought I'd be saying this but I can't wait til they go home.

I remember when i first met you you were not doing very well. I gave you some advice help your self to feel great. It seams like it was good advice from what i hear. I aways knew you could do it. Hearing people tell you how good you look is a great motivator. You look great and sound great and seem very happy.
