Hey guys,
Told my CPN everything was very hard but I managed it. He thinks I was delusional when I thought people were tampering with my meds. He has said I must take my meds... which I know but well I just don't like to take them. I have started taking them again as of yesterday. He wrote everything down I said and said he would give a copy to my Psychiatrist when he comes back off his holiday in 2 weeks time. I see Psych 30th September anyways. We spoke about why I don't want to take my meds and some of my fears are I do not believe I am Bipolar... he smiled when I said that and he nodded and said "well you know the answer is simple you are not Bipolar... you have Bipolar there is a difference". I told him I am still in denial I think. He said I need to majorly get into a routine/schedule and to maintain it. He says I keep doing self-destructive stuff and I am drawn into talking to guys online. When I spoke to him this time... I felt relieved as its been nigging at me constantly. Today I feel lower but fine. Thanks guys for all the help and support. I truely mean it! |

Thanks guys,
I am definately gonna need to get myself into a routine. I am working on drawing up a schedule for myself which will included morning straight through to evening and what I do on the days I am at my day service and what I can do if I am not there. Then I will have to make sure I am going to bed at decent hour and getting up at a decent hour. I am really gonna need to think about this and get myself sorted. Its just implementing a schedule which I know I willl break as I hate rules etc... But I am gonna have to do it if I want to stay well so I must do it!!  Thanks guys means alot to me that I have you guys supporting me |

  You are not the only one who has difficulty sticking to a schedule. What I have found helpful is to schedule free time and to forgive myself if I miss a day or a week and just try to schedule from there rather than giving up completely.

Thanks Merlin,
I am gonna start as of Monday on a schedule where I must stick to it. If I stick to it all by the end of the week I am gonna give myself a reward. If I don't stick to it I won't receive a reward. Feel like a kid again but I think I need it as being an adult hasn't helped me at all!! |

Rewards work well. What are you going to give to yourself? If I do the cleaning and course work I need to do in the next 3 days, I am going to take myself out to buy fall clothing.
