I have been out of work since April 4, and it is now May 16.  Oh my Lord, why is this recovery so slow?  When will I be back in remission again?
     I have a few things to write about, but my mind is still not quite right.  In other words, it takes me a lot longer to collect and organize my thoughts.  It feels like a huge effort to do anything.  Even though, I love to write, my desire to do so is almost non-existent, at this time.
     At this time, I’m going to give you an update, about how I am feeling at this point.  Basically, I am still not doing so well.  I am taking my medications, attending psychotherapy appointments, going to support groups, and trying to do little things that would normally bring joy to me.  My personality, however, has changed a bit, it seems.
     Less then 2 months ago, I felt a good amount of joy, for a fairly long stretch of time.  Now, I am overly serious, I don’t smile as much, I don’t laugh much, and every little thing pisses me off.
     At this current time, I am prescribed Effexor, Trillifon, Neurontin, BusPar, & Seroquel for psychiatric medications.  I was taken off of Abilify, while I was in the hospital, and now I’m wondering if I need to start taking it again.

    I pray that things turn around soon. Concerning one of your medications, specifically Seroquel, I had a friend that had complications with it and perhaps you may want to speak to your doctor about it.

I’m Christine

My name is Christine and I am almost 45 years old. This is my very first blog. I am writing because I feel like I am living in a closet. But I am not gay, I am mentally ill, I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not many people know this about me. I have been fearful of “coming out”, because, frankly, the human population has not always been kind to people with mental illness. But isn’t it time that we come to accept all of our bothers & sisters, regardless of their differences?
