The Latuda gives me Lucid dreams, which have been nightmares, but this morning I had two amazing dreams in which I was with old friends. I went back to sleep just to have another dream, and had an amazing one. Paul, the man with dementia I'm taking care of on a 24 hour schedule is much better than yesterday. He is upbeat and chipper today, whereas yesterday he was yelling profanities at me. I think the Latuda is kicking in somewhat after a week. I am less stressed today, and today is also my quit smoking day, so I feel good about that. I have the patch on. It's all about patience. Some days are bad, but it will always turn around. I've learned this from the 7 years I've had bipolar so far. Aahhhh...what a relief. Just always remember things will turn around for the better, even when it feels like the dark night of the soul.
