It does make me stable but it also makes me numb. I feel like there is entire months of my life missed due to zyprexa. Hope you have a better experience than I did~!
I'm learning to perceive my emotions differently, which is helping a lot. They feel more like status update blips than like powerful forces. I can still feel sad, angry, anxious, etc, but rather than it being an overwhelming experience, they are more like blips alerting me to the fact that something about a situation is wrong, and that I need to address it. I still 'feel' them, but they are mild, just enough to alert me but not enough to throw me off. They are basically serving me, rather than controlling me, which for me is a wonderful thing.
