My poor back is ow-ing from the sofa bed and the long drive. Getting away for a quick visit was nice, even though I'm still in a Remeron-fog. Went up to 30mg last week and I want to sleep!! Didn't mesh well with the early rising in-laws. By this morning I had started to feel a teeny bit better - oops! Time to go home - waddaya know.
I like my new pdoc and am doing a daily mood chart to determine whether I need to take a stabilizer. Novel idea, that one. Interesting that I got my bipolar dx over 3 years ago and this is the first time a doctor has suggested I actually keep track of anything like how I feel from day to day. What a concept! I hope, I hope, I hope the right decision will be to not take a mood stabilizer, because I really think that, I take altogether too many pills on a daily basis already. Migraines, blood pressure, hormones, depression, anxiety - there's a pill for everything in my cabinet. I'd rather take a walk every day, and have my doctor tell me that's the prescription (which I fully expect him to do). Thank goodness I am lucky enough to have a beautiful beach down the road to take that walk on.
I think that I have a lot of writing to do this week. Lots to think about first.
