This is my first time being a home owner. Just recently, I felt really down, but I was thinking that this might be a change that is needed in order to give me more of a sense of purpose. I have been in a rut, but I look forward to having something I can call my own. There's so much stress though. I need to keep up with my job, while getting in more documents, having the place inspected, closing, etc. Luckily, I have someone to guide me though, so I am so thankful for that.
One downside: my new health insurance does not cover my Psychiatrist. Now, I am going to be tight on cash, and she is pretty expensive, but I'll make it work. She's the one doctor I trust, who has helped me through so much. I am going to try to see her less often (if I am able to do so) and get refills on my meds to avoid spending so much money. I think adding on Latuda might have helped me, although I still get some highs and lows. I am hoping I am actually well and not becoming hypo. So far, I think I'm functioning a bit better, although my anxiety is still high. Clonazepam is providing some relief though.
Hugs to all.

That is so exciting, xRavenx!! Nothing like a fresh space...

And of your very own!
I'm sorry your insurance doesn't cover your pdoc.
I'm hoping you're well too. It's natural to get excited with something new. I kind of thought similarly when I got done with my exBF and moved into my own space. (A no drama space!), but my T and pdoc both agreed that it was natural to feel a bit "high" in such a situation, and not indicative of hypo. It is SUCH a better situation and has really helped my stability immensely. So I hope the same for you.
