I'm coming down from mania. I'm still a bit hypomanic I think.

I had "recovered" from my ED around 20 years ago with a few blips here and there though I have body dsymorphic disorder. I don't know if I'll ever be happy with my body image. Anyway, I have been hanging on to my huge collection of ED books since then and even bought more. They are all very triggering. Yesterday, I impulsively cleaned out nearly all my ED books and bagged them into tote bags (I didn't have any boxes. and I don't have any more tote bags I will have to deal with the rest of the ED books once I have my empty totes back.) I plan to either donate them to the library or try to sell them back to Half Price Books. Maybe I could net $50, $75 dollars at Half Price. I still don't have my car keys though However, today H is driving us to a library about 10 minutes away from Half Price Books because my daughter and I are getting passports at the library today. I hope I can persuade H to go to Half Price. I want to look at mystery books anyway, but I will try to do that at the Friends of the Library bookstore because at the library they sell books $1, $2 a piece which is much cheaper than Half Price Books. This is a much bigger library than our local branch and they have way more books in the library we're going to today.

This morning I did couch to 5 K though I like the couching on the couch to 10 K program I have better. It was around 25 min. with 6 intervals of 1 min. jogs and the rest walking. That was around 2.5 miles, but I walked 3 miles because I accidently took a street I didn't recognize (well, I recognized the street name but not where the street came out). I recognized all the cross-street names but they turned out to not get me home! Thank God there is a school near my house because when I finally started seeing the school warning signs I knew the way home.

I am not dizzy this morning from my meds, thank goodness. My pdoc told me yesterday to cut my oxycarbazepine (a med the neurologist prescribed) doses in half (2 doses of the oxycarbazine). I also took the morning meds when I got up at 5 AM and the oxycarb. at 8 AM. I took them separately because pdoc said oxycarb. reacts with lamotrigine, which I take first thing in the morning.

Sorry for a long post again. Still have pressured writing (obviously).
