Good morning. It’s day 4 on the 200 mg of Lamictal. No problems so far. Yesterday I started dissociating a bit and was panicky but used coping skills and managed to stop it and enjoy the rest of my day, without taking a klonopin. That’s twice now I’ve managed to stop it in its tracks. Normally it just goes on and on. But I’m really insistent on not relying heavily on klonopin. So I avoid taking it as much as possible. A bottle of klonopin can last me anywhere from 3-6 months sometimes longer. Recently I had been taking it more often. Once or twice a week. But I’ve managed to stop panic attacks and dissociation without it the past several days so I’m glad I haven’t used it. I really just try to keep it as a last resort med, if all coping skills fail.

Today I’m paying my internet bill and another bill. And tomorrow will pay my rent and some other bills, phone etc. I have to go to Walmart tomorrow to get a money order for my rent.

I feel pretty good today. It’s gonna be a busy week. I ended up cancelling tonight’s volunteer shift mainly cause I didn’t want to overwhelm myself since I have a lot going on this week. My volunteer coordinator said it’s okay and she would cover for me tonight.

Anyway, doing well. Enjoying the day
