Thanks for checking on me Christina. I appreciate you!
I'm doing well. I had a month or so of very intense and sometimes disturbing dreams, but that seems to be back to normal. I also went through a period where certain music was triggering memories of the thoughts I was having during psychosis. I was able to process them in therapy and I've decided to stick to less activating music for a while. Luckily I was able to instantly recognize those thoughts as delusions. It basically felt like my brain was having a knee jerk reaction to the music and I need to train it to instinctively think differently by creating new experiences.
I haven't had any mood shifts that seem out of the ordinary everyday highs and lows. I've also had a couple of emotional challenges come up and I've been able to overcome them in healthy ways.
I'm still seeing my therapist every two weeks for a while longer. I'll probably go back to once a month in January. My pdoc scheduled me for one more visit in December and said I would only need to come back again if my symptoms return.
I'm still avoiding triggers and trying to stay focused on holistic health. I've been exercising and eating good foods for the most part. All in all, things are well and I feel blessed.
