Doing ok. A bit on the low side.

My Seroquel (immediate release) was increased by 12.5mg (half a tablet) per day and my weight has gone up by 2kg/4lbs. Discouraged. Too bad it works so well in managing my bipolar and somewhat against my anxiety. My anxiety is bad but even worse without the immediate release Seroquel. I’m considering the option of a gastric sleeve. I’m only 5 foot 2 and just can’t get any fatter.

I’ve decided to give therapy one last final shot. I made an appointment with a new psychologist for 30th July. My last therapist got bogged down in my ‘anxious childhood’ and gave me no tools for managing my anxiety in the present. I ended up more anxious than ever and stopped seeing her. The one prior to that ‘fired’ me because I was ‘too well’. I really hope this new psychologist works out. Surely that’s not too much to ask for?? I don’t think I could handle another dud.

Sorry Christina to read that Steve isn’t well. Thinking of you.

Hugs to those who need them.
