Hope You’re Feeling Better

After the darkness of the past couple of weeks the darkness seems to be lifting, I’m not sure if it’s due to the fact that my dose of Aripiprozole has been reduced or that I’ve followed the advice given to me to just try to keep myself busy and to do simple things that I find pleasurable. The onion sets have now been planted, various seeds have been sown, lawns mowed and some weeds eradicated although I’m still having problems with twitch – that’s the grass variety rather than the ticcy variety, I wonder if you can get HRT for twitch? I’ve also made an owl, I haven’t quite tackled the specicial educational needs green paper yet, maybe later? I am still very much taking each day as it comes. I have also managed to get an earlier appointment to see my psychiatrist next week as well as going to London to attend a Neurological Alliance meeting neural.org.uk/ , gatecrash the London Tourettes Action support group and bake a load of cakes ready for our own support group meeting in Birmingham on Saturday. I still feel somewhat depressed but not suicidal and not as tearful I was last week, I’m still not sleeping very well, to be honest a bit worse as over the last couple of days as well as waking up at 2-3am and 5-6am , I’ve also found it difficult to get to sleep. So at this moment I do feel quite tired and I hope I have enough energy to get my through my day in London on Tuesday.
