I'm continuing to do quite well. My plan is to try and develop better habits while I am in a good state of mind. Then, when I have a tailspin, the habits might keep me on track, so that everything doesn't get chaotic, which makes me way worse.
I'm trying to be more scrupulous about picking up after myself, as I go through the day . . . like doing the dishes after each meal, and straightening out any area of the house that starts to get messy looking. I notice that just keeping things orderly is going a long way toward making me be able to keep my good spirits going.
Also, I am taking Amitriptyline 75 mg each eve. (Was on 50 mg for a long time.) That's helping too, but it causes my gut to slow down, which has me feeling queasy at times.
I have to find somewhere to go for physical exercise. I believe that is the main thing missing.
