I’m back on lithium again. I can’t seem to manage the SI without it. I hope to build up more effective coping skills so I can quit again as it’s taken my kidney function down before. I’ve started again and feel much better.

I go to meet my daughter halfway this weekend to talk about the wedding. I’m excited about that.

My anxiety is ratcheted up really high right now. I have a few cognitive distortions that lead me to panic, anxiety and stress. One is catastrophic thinking. Another is black and white thinking. I’m working on toning those down.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.
