Thanksgiving went quite well! Everything came together nicely, all the food was done by 4pm on the dot. It was a thing of beauty, truly! It was a little stressful but much less so than last year. I think last year I was already slipping into a mixed episode if I recall correctly. My mom came over and we had a nice little dinner, me my boys and her.

My new psych nurse is just amazing. She’s so so nice and she actually listened when I expressed concern about the weight gain. So many drs don’t care! So I am weaning off the haldol very slowly to minimize any withdrawal effects and then I’m going to start abilify. I really can’t remember if I’ve ever been on it, it’s possible I was supposed to be but it was too expensive. Or I was on it and it made me worse. I guess we’ll find out.

Oh, I have a movie recommendation for everyone if you have the time or access to Amazon prime. It’s called words on bathroom walls and it’s about a high school student who finds out he has schizophrenia And tries to find out how to live with the illness without being defined by it. It’s very good. Can be triggering if you e ever had psychosis, the depictions of audio/visual hallucinations are very real.
