Depression seems to be easing a bit. On Saturday I went strawberry picking with my sister and nieces and nephews. I actually felt joy at times playing with the kids. In the mornings I wake up exhausted still but not in deep depression, just very flat. During the middle of the days I seem more normal in mood and then I dip down again in the evenings.

Today is my fourth day of reducing Latuda from 40mg to 20mg. Not sure if that has affected my mood but it is since then that I have begun to feel better. Coincidence maybe? The only side effects of reducing that I have felt are a bit if insomnia and feeling more emotional, a bit volatile. Still, I am doing well over all. Keeping up with study and work. Might even go for a long, brisk walk today to burn of the anxiety and depression. It has been so hard to motivate myself in this depression to exercise.
