I haven't actually been on any meds for at least a year. Since I was super paranoid and dumped them, TBH... I probably should have been on meds and some might argue I should still be, but I'm coping. Only little bits here and there.

I find that forcing myself to socialize, having hobbies, and the structure of a workout routine is really working on keeping me focused.

My weight loss unfortunately started due to a relapse of crazy disordered eating. I pretty much starved myself for almost a month with some paranoia and delusions (mirror people stealing my image, skulls in traffic lights, thought control via nail polish and hair dye) before I started down this right path.

So I'm feeling really good and really positive. Busy, but a healthy amount of stress.

I know some people think that I should at least be in touch with a doctor - if not maybe still medicated. Personally I don't really like being so medicated. I used to think for myself that psych meds would solve all my issues but going through quite a few and now being without I prefer how I am doing things for my own self.

I got an email this morning from Tapatalk pretty much reminding me how I hadn't looked at anything lately and it made me thought to check in and see how it's going.
