It's just not safe, which is a shame, because it does work for me. So, Seroquel it is.
Yeah, Fern, IOP is a good idea. Just not sure about the payment part. I will call St. V's, wher it takes place, and see what the deal is. I did IOP there after my car accident and suicide attempt in 2007 and it was great. So, we'll see.
Sometimes psychotic, I don't know for sure that it is EPS. But my hand are just moving all the time. It's not exactly just a tremor. I don't really know what it is. Will look into your suggestions. Thank you.
Thank you, WC, for your positiviity and prayers. I am into prayer. That's perfect for me.
Just very brief period of voices yesterday, totally doable. Not seeing things. No spirits or whatever sliding under my door. No microphones or CIA people in the hall. So, better. Very grateful. I might be able to manage this.
What I am supposed to make of all this, I don't really know. I have a very serious mental illness and it can flare. Have to be vigilant, I guess. I do tend to crash to the down pole after a big mania, but this time, truthfully, it was more psychosis than mania. So, we'll just have to wait and see.
Again, so very grateful for all the support here. I am honestly not sure if I would still be alive if it were not for all of you. So, thanks. Forever indebted.
Got the green light to get outside. Going to go exercise and see how it feels. Hopefully, it will be a good start to a good day.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad things are continuing to move in a positive direction. It seems like you have a number of potentially very helpful things to try.
I'm happy to hear you are open to prayer. You will now be in my prayers in addition to my thoughts. I wanted to share that after I got sick my brother pointed me to a series of sermons that focused on renewal and health. They spoke about a daily renewal of the mind, heart, body and spirit. I now pray for this every day. It helps me to set a good intention that I can continually align with. This comes from Romans 12: 'Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.' Our minds are resilient and you will get through this.
Enjoy your time outside. I find it helps with the renewal process. Much love to you!
