I have been feeling unwell for a number of days, physically and mentally, but I'm a little better today. I'm going to do some things, but not overdo anything.

I doubt it's related, but I stopped my mini dose of Ativan a few days back. I had only been taking 0.13 mg for a while (1/4 of a 0.5 mg pill, which is the smallest). I doubt that has anything to do with this, but I'm obviously wondering a little. I confess my psychiatrist did not tell me I could stop. In fact, he raised my Seroquel XR a little last week, which I have been taking as he directed. The day before yesterday, I felt so anxious at one point that I took 1 full milligram of Ativan as an "as needed", but none since.

I have yet to reschedule my private French lesson I missed last week. I definitely will return. What gets me is that I asked for possible alternative days in my last week's cancellation email, but the teacher ignored that and only wished me improved health. It's so common that you ask questions and responders only answer one or just a couple of all you posed. That's fine in some cases, but not others. Now I have to ask a second time. I am procrastinating doing that.

Update: This may seem odd given above, but I just signed up for a one evening seminar about recovering from set backs in life and using them to your advantage. It's presented by a therapist/life coach. It's later this week. Tomorrow I have the third lecture of a six-part lecture series on modern China topics. I really do plan to go, unless I've very sick. The topic is interesting. As told in a story last week, my old psychiatrist (15 years ago) and current psychiatrist may be there, not that I will approach them, unless I go nuts. It's just coincidence that they signed up for the lecture series.
