Since I have been taking my medication it has really helped level me out to the point where I feel comfortable working in a slow paced environment so I have been actively applying for jobs. Yesterday there was an opening at a local Petsmart so I applied for a groomer/bather position. Today I get...
I sat here for a while thinking of what makes me happy. With my mind being so tangled up in negativity I never really noticed just how many things make me happy. It's refreshing to know that the wind of positivity is blowing away the fog of negativity in my mind.
Some of the many things that...
Happy and sad at the same time. Happy because my psychiatrist said that since I am reacting so well to this medication that he looks forward to seeing me off of it in about 6-9 months and that with continued therapy I should return to "normal" and love being myself again. He's a sweet man and...
