how exciting! I'm happy for you.
sorry to delay in responding...things have been a bit hectic in my part of the world (not overwhelming, just...a bit much...).
these days, I don't get to play with pharmaceuticals, LOL. Abilify is the main player, with Lamictal there to pick up the slack (I guess?). The vitamin thing (Orthomolecular) is ongoing, but I've trimmed the line up a good bit, without losing anything.
Its a funny thing, "severe mental illness." Because I have the labels and the disability, I'm not really a member of this community (probably better off here than anywhere else). Because I have a "good family" solidly behind me, I get a bit more leeway than many (most?) "mental patients" 'round here. And...
because I've now "recovered," both from the madness and the "treatment" and...life, lol...
well, I "rub people the wrong way," etc. So, there's the whole social component to "severe mental illness." My family is supportive and doing quite well. I'm trying to move forward, as best I can.
"Recovery." Its...the new buzz word in Mental Health, Inc. Not that its wrong or even inaccurate, its just...missing the point. I think of my "recovery" more as an ongoing story of redemption and growth.
OK. :-) Hope things go OK for you from here on out.
