Hello, I slept good, 8 hours. Also took a nap today . I might have to talk to my psychiatrist about reducing one of my meds or changing something cause I’m tired all the time and even though I sleep well most nights I’m still taking naps in the daytime most days. I’m trying to see what I can do on my own to reduce my tiredness before that though. I don’t drink caffeinated coffee anymore cause I always over do it and it’d give me anxiety. Maybe a shower in the mornings would help along with turning the water to cold for the last 15 seconds of the shower. Cold exposure like that is supposed to be good for you for like mental clarity and whatnot too so maybe I’ll try that. I’d like to avoid doing anything to my meds because I am doing really well. So I’ll see what I can do first to reduce my tiredness and if that doesn’t work then talk to my psychiatrist. I know getting outside in the daylight first thing in the morning helps as well.
Anyway, as I said, I’m doing well. Minimal anxiety. Way less frequent dissociation and when it happens I’m usually able to stop it in its tracks now with some DBT skills. I’m sleeping well, taking my meds consistently. My mood is good. I’m a not agitated and angry and paranoid like I was for quite awhile. In general I feel really well. I’m enjoying life.
In other news I got a super high quality Yamaha keyboard (piano) from my sister. It’s gorgeous and has weighted keys. It’s a $500 keyboard, basically new, so is leagues above the really old Casio I had got for free from someone a few years ago which didn’t have weighted keys and was also super old and not great quality.
Anyway I’m excited to start using it. She couldn’t find the power cord so I found a replacement on amazon and am gonna order that next week. It also has a stand as you can see
