Thanks for checking on me! It is going great so far. I'm still stable and I take my last dose on Saturday. I've been spacing them three days apart and I've only noticed that my dreams are frequent and vivid. I was worried about how I'd do when my cycle rolled around since my episode happened at that time and my doctor suggested the hormone shifts could have contributed to it. I'm doing fine even through that, so I am relieved.

Both of my children have been sick this week and it gets a little stressful when one or both of them needs something from me every second of the day and a lot of the night. I've been able to handle that fine as well. Yay! No racing thoughts. No anxiety or depression. No changes in energy. I feel like I've been blessed with a smooth ride.

The one year anniversary of my breakdown is coming up early next month. It being so close has me thinking about everything that happened more than usual. I feel that is probably healthy though and just part of the process. I am talking it through with friends and family and I'm seeing my therapist every two weeks for now until I am proven stable off the Geodon. I plan to just keep working my plan to stay healthy and hold faith that I can thrive without the meds.

I wish you were feeling better. I am hoping you get some time to recuperate before you need to travel again in December. You've had so much going on and you deserve to relax a little. Sending thoughts of healing and wellness to you! Thanks again for thinking of me. It is greatly appreciated!
