> LinkadgeHey! Thanks for asking about me!! I am doing okay. I am eager to see my pdoc next week. I want to change the antidepressant part of my regimen.
I am still trying to find the courage and focus to work on my incompletes from school, so i can return sometime. Fortunately, I've continued to abstain from drugs and booze, and my compliance with my psych meds has been 98-99%.
Unfortunately, I still have some abnormal paranoid emotions {much more so than thoughts} that emanated from the drug abuse, and I isolate too much still.
Otherwise, I feel like I am spiritually journeying {i'm not sure if I am advancing or regressing always or if those words adequately describe my changing awareness}, but it surely isn't a joyous path at all times. I've found that I am attracted and interested in an unforced manner with Carl Jung and psychoanalytic theory/myth. It really has shed some light on my compulsivity and has done a lot more to help me get over my extended psychotic/manic break {9 months} that was subsequent to the very last time I used methamphetamine. I'm so lucky that was largely drug-induced, but there was tremendous moral and inner conflict {not that there isn't any still} that needed to go through a particular process.
I'm still in process, but I keep on keeping on. I'm hoping that my life balances out healthily so the "doing" and the "receiving" are in a better proportion. I'd like to function normally again someday. It's nice to have some insight, but insight for the sake of producing more insight is not the point at all.
How are you, linkadge?
