Apart from an ongoing moderate Fibromyalgia flare-up I am doing well. The anxiety is easing, although I do still take high doses of Clonazepam. I was on very high doses when out of my mind with anxiety while IP in December (about 8-10 mg a day). My pdoc wants me to very slowly reduce that dose to avoid rebound anxiety. I had tried reducing faster and suffered for it. My days are filled with organising everything in my life that got put on the back burner while ill with PTSD last year, and resting. My mood is stable, and the PTSD has calmed down. Life is good. I am not used to being mentally well. Last week I told my parents that not having a mood episode for the last 10 months has made a life kind of boring in a way. I am used to constantly experiencing the highest of highs, and/or lowest of lows. Not fun, but certainly eventful. It is just taking time getting used to being stable. I do love it, and do no wish any Bipolar/PTSD symptoms to return. I will enjoy each healthy day I have, and live in hope the darkness never returns.
