I've been mentally well now for more than a month and a half. No mood symptoms and no psychosis. My affect is reactive again. I met my pdoc last week and she said I was "glowing."

I really hope this means my meds are finally working, rather than this being just a blip of normality in what is otherwise usually insanity.

And for those who have followed my story a bit here, I'm still in Cairo and am really enjoying it for a change. I spend a lot of time working at coffee shops and hanging out with new friends. Life is good!

Great!! I hope I could return to being stable too. I hear voices occasionally now and am grateful they are dying slowly but surely.

It's gorgeous! Upper seventies with a gentle wind. Sunny with a 70% chance of feral dogs blocking the road on the way to the coffee shop lol.

Glad to hear that you're doing better and you're enjoying Cairo.

I was there many years ago, but for different reasons. It was still fun though.
