This thread is a great idea. It makes you stop and really think about how you feel. Well....

...I haven't felt this good in ages. That so called treatment, Olanzapine, seems to be finally out of my system. I'm not getting great sleep yet but crucially I'm not getting angry about it. Yesterday I broke my routine. For the first time in two years, instead of going straight home from work, popping pills, opening a bottle of wine (or two) and switching on the TV, I went to the golf driving range. I used to be a reasonable player but I can't afford it any more. It poured with rain and I was soaked through but it was exhilarating. I also discovered that I've completely forgotten how to hit the ball but it made a welcome change to be doing something different, even for just a couple of hours. It seems to me that is what it's all about, breaking my bad habits, for me at least. I just hope it's not the beginning of another manic phase, else I'll be shortly doing this again...
