>Hi Mark:
Glad you are getting to go home finally. I'm sure everything will feel much better in your familiar surroundings.
I know what you mean about the exercise thing. i hate it too but I really feel it when I don't do it. I've really been on an exercise binge lately and I'm getting very tired. Oh well, gotta get in shape. It's time..
I wish you the best of luck on your job interview of course. I would take a pay cut in exchange for peace of mind too. I think if that's what you need to do, you should do it. Working for the country sounds like it has a lot of security too. I hope you get it. I'll be thinking of ya.
I'm off the lithium now. My new psych says she doesn't know why I was taking it in the first place so I give it up willingly. It was making me nauseous and giving me headaches anyway. Still on the AD's and Benzo and doing very well. I am on a high right now. I keep wondering when the other shoe is going to drop. This good feeling can't possibly last right?? A girl can hope though right?I have to say I laughed when you mentioned hanging out at a mental hospital talking to the patients. I don't know if you meant it to be funny but i did laugh. i hope you don't have a need to return to taht environment anytime soon.
I wish you a smooth flight and a safe trip home.
Thanks for keeping in touch.
Hugs
Tina
