Not often do I write that I am in an elevated mood... been a few days now... surprise... I am reluctant to say this is a recovery... but at the same time I am feeling quite chirpy... it is a bit strange ... I have some extra energy ... i can focus a bit better... my thinking is at times clear... I still have times during the day when my thinking is confused to me... but on the whole I am clear... also I do refuse to think about the issues like my accommodation and my weight...
My psychologist and counsellor and me had a meeting yesterday... and it was decided that i should be phased out of counselling... because while there are huge changes in me over a long period of time ... there are few changes that can be quantified... and it is important for the funding bodies to see the numbers and measurable differences... i am not measurable... and also because i see my health professionals as extended family and their visits populate my time... there is a risk of crossing the professional/client divide which is unprofessional... they are not my family... so they discussed weaning me off the counselling... not so regular to gradually over a year or more ....
So while i am brighter... i am also off a/d for 6 weeks now... still on mood stabilisers and sedation...
Pdoc is on holidays again... back next week...
that is all...
