Words-of-Mine

Since the transition to different medicines I have developed tremors over my whole body. From my head down to my calves up to my arms, shoulders, neck, my jaws, and my hands.

I have to give a deep breath and just let go and for a moment the tremors stop.

Today was especially stressful because:

1. I was meeting with a friend whom we had a dust up. I had to take time to ponder the situation and look at my reaction, which I did, and now I felt ready to talk about it. I kept to "I" statements and we worked things out and now everything is okay. I notice when I'm stressed, my tremors are worse.

2. I had to leave the house with Michael to run errands. He's a good man in getting me out most days.

3. We've been hunting to a computer for me since mine took a dump. Well we found one but now they are sold out. So now we wait until their order comes in. I was ready to have the deal to be done today.

Now I am so happy to be home and my tremors have calmed down.

Most mornings I wake up with dread. I don't want the day to begin. I stay in my chair as long as I can before I have to start to have to make decisions about the direction of my day.

It's no fun having mental illness as it messes up my days and my life. With the medications, they work for awhile and then stop. Then the cocktail of different medications begins again. I feel like such a guinea pig until the right combination if found.

One of the things I have found, I must find acceptance in all of this. This is my life. I'm doing what I can with what I've got. Then be gentle with myself. No one is tougher on me than myself.

Well enough Of my pity pot and thanks for reading.
