I haven't been on in awhile, so I thought I'd stop by today. I've been doing pretty well mood-wise. Last night I had some perceptual abnormalities; kept seeing moving shadows and hearing footsteps. And then I forgot to take my meds, so I was running a bit hypomanic today. My brother actually asked me why I was "smiling like an idiot for no reason". lol

But mostly, I've been doing well. I just took my last final today (even though I had to leave Rome early, I still had to complete my courses from a distance). The exam I took today seemed very easy, so I think I did well and I am quite happy.

I will take the MCAT in-12!-days. I'm very scared, but excited at the same time. I've decided that I am applying to med school. Maybe I won't get in, maybe I will get in and the stress will cause me to breakdown, but maybe the universe will be kind to me, and things will go well. Regardless of what I do, I am going to live with regrets. I might as well at least live with the knowledge that I tried to pursue my dreams.

Lastly, I'm seeing my pdoc on Thurs. I will be going off the Zyprexa and trying a new, weight-neutral AP, Latuda, Saphris, Geodon, or Invega, but probably Geodon. I'm excited to get my pre-zyprexa body back!

You're going to do great! I'm really proud of you!

It's not easy to take classes remotely even under the best circumstances, so that's a huge accomplishment. You'll do great on the MCAT. Don't be scared!
