wow over a month since the last blog post…
Pretty much a case of “no news is good news” I suppose. No real changes to my existence, life goes on in a remarkably unspectacular way to be truthful.
Did a double shift on the SOS bus this weekend, both the Friday and Saturday nights, really love doing the bus, great bunch of people who I work with and we always have a laugh on shift as well as doing some good and helping people.
Been a bit slack with my Night Shelter work, but attended a trustee/management committee meeting last week and will be getting back in the groove on that front over the coming weeks.
As far as personal health goes, things are stable, the reduction in medication dosage has been tough and I can honestly notice a difference in my mindset, seem to be having a few more “negative mind” moments than previously but am fighting through it. If I am honest then I would have to say that dealing with a few bad days is a decent trade-off for getting off the medication eventually (that is still my major goal)
Will try to keep the blog more up to date going forward, I had a good read back through it last night and it definitely helped me put a few things in perspective when I was able to see how far I had actually come on my journey.
“If I am honest then I would have to say that dealing with a few bad days is a decent trade-off for getting off the medication eventually”
very much this kev. I’ve been off regular meds for a couple of years now and I know that managing without mood stabilisers means I’m going to have bad days and lapses. When it happens, I get a bit annoyed with myself because I know I piss other people off during the mood swings but, ultimately, I’ll take those odd difficult periods over being reliant on medication for the rest of my life. The people that mind don’t matter, and the people that matter don’t mind. glgl xx
