Dear readers I made it! A few days ago, Dr. Levy gave the green light to reduce to 2 mg./day Risperdal, my goal for so, so long, after years waiting, Im finally here! Im already starting to feel more clear-headed and thinking about my writing and I just feel so optimistic. I'm excited where I'm headed, after feeling cognitively impaired for such a long time. I had to muster the patience of Job to get to this point. Dr. Levy is so conservative, and I was so frustrated at times but finally here we are. Hooray!
Now, my dream has always been to write a book about having bipolar disorder and being an alcoholic in recovery. I have amassed a whole heck of a lot of wisdom over the past 17 years dealing with this situation. I've been in the nut hut nine times, I've met countless people with bipolar disorder, and i want to craft a story of hope for those struggling with this mental illness. I know it will take a lot of time and effort to get this accomplished, but I'm going to give it a shot.
I just need to move forward slowly and methodically. I will use this blog as practice while I continue to chisel away at this writers block. One step at a time. I got this.
