I'm doing OK..... Not great but OK. I stilll think I'm doing better than when I was taking psych drugs buuuuuuuut, and this is a big but.....I still struggle greatly at times.
My GP prescribed Lyrica to help me with my muscle spasms but I think I've noticed that it is affecting me psychologically. I get overly angry at times and I have been visited by a very dark mood recently.
It isn't all the time so I'll take the good with the bad. I had my GP laughing because I was explaining my dark moods and irritability to her and she was asking what was worse... ie: the dark moods and irritability or the muscle spasms.
She still think psychiatry may help me but I'm not quite ready to get back on that merry-go-round. I'm hoping to get my dark moods and muscle spasms to a manageable level. Then, maybe consider psych drugs.I just don't get it. I never got much out of psychiatric chemicals so I'm staying away for now.
I would like to be as motivated as you, Phillipa! Your tenacity is admirable. I can barely drag myself out the door. My doctor has run some tests to see if testosterone or thyroid are what may be causing me to be so lethargic. We'll find out soon so, hopefully I can get motivated more.
S.O.S just a different day.
