I hope no one takes offense to this picture, but I found it so funny and so true! What would I do without my med's? Actually I don't have to search to hard to know, I have gone without medication before and it seems to start off fine and dwindle into a hot mess. And I mean me crying, me being super irritable, me thinking no one loves me, me questioning why I am even here...etc... Real Hot Mess!! I honestly am so thankful for medication. It keeps me feeling "normal". It keeps my mind from racing and my thoughts from going wacko. I think that has to be one of the most important reasons I continue to take it every day. My sanity! Second reason...the sanity of my family! It is funny I say this though, as when I have not taken my medication for a while, like weeks, and someone close to me mentions it I freak out and start going on and on about how I don't need them...when I really do! I just want to be right and not admit they make me a better person! Lord, our minds are a crazy place to reside sometimes.
I do other things to combat my illness too. I love writing this blog. I love walking my dogs, shopping at thrift stores, getting coffee at a fun coffee shop. These things all bring me some amount of peace, if only for a short while. What else do you do to keep stable and keep feeling good?
Shannon, my meds have helped me tremendously, too!
ReplyDeleteI write, read, spend time with my kitties and husband, draw, do needlework, get out in nature--these all give me peace.
That picture is great! I wouldn't even think of going without my AD, nor my estrogen! My kitties are also a big help to me, as is my boyfriend, mindful meditation, and writing.
