*Cheer* Coming off meds!! *Cheer*
I am coming off seroquel. I am coming off pimozide. I am coming off my meds! I actually have no idea what the date is today because I never keep track of the date but today is a turning point in my life. Well, it will be if I don’t end up back on meds. If I last a month without any issues, I will be deemed as no longer suffering from schizophrenia. So please keep your fingers crossed for me! I am just hoping this will be the end of it! I am excited in a lot of ways. To finally be better is remarkable. My psychiatrist wasn’t too sure about me coming off them but she thinks I have made a complete personality change recently that she has called ‘extremely healthy and determined’. Well, it is nice to be categorized as what society calls ‘normal’ I suppose! Ha! It will take a while for me to be taken of the meds because we have planned to do it gradually but I still am coming off them. Time to celebrate, I suppose!
I have decided that I am throwing away any beliefs about strength or weakness or good or evil out of the window now and I am just going to live. And live as well as I can. That’s a good thing, isn’t it? A good thing to just get on with life. It is a smart and logical thing. To not let these stupid ideas and worries and emotions hold you back. Well I am on the road to recovery :).
Sorry for the short post but this is my update…and it is a big one; a big event in my life!! :)
