@Blue_Bird - Med changes can be scary but I hope the increased dose of Lamictal helps you. Sorry you have been dissociating lately; I have too unfortunately (sigh). IYour rock painting class sounds fun! I hope you post some pics of the painted rocks @Scooter9 - Glad you have been getting some sleep lately. Sleep is so important to your mental health. @HALLIEBETH87 - Yikes! That is quite a cost for therapy! But I definitely do understand not wanting to start over with someone else, rehashing all that history and trying to make a connection with a new T. @Brentus - Nice pics! It's great that you have fun with tweaking them. And so cool that you are having a good time with studying that era in history & literature.

I'm doing well today, slept around 7.5 hr. My body & muscles were tired from jogging several days in a row, so I did a gentle pilates video. It's always a victory when I listen to my body and do what I need in the way of exercise (eating too) and don't force myself to do more than I should.

I read with the SAD lamp and got so hot even though the AC was on, and it was 74F as we usually keep the house temp. I don't know if it's hot flashes or what. I sweated so much I had to change my shirt. Anyway, my book was good; I really am enjoying being able to read so much.

Art today was just sketching which I had neglected lately in favor of painting. Though to be honest, painting involves first sketching a picture you are satisfied with before painting it, so you are drawing too.

I plan to have a laid-back day, playing on my iPad, reading, maybe even a nap.
