After four inpatient hospitalizations and two outpatient sessions, I realized that this was not how I wanted to spend the rest of my life! Although I will never to ever be able to be off medications completely, this is the plan I am going to put into affect:
1. Prayer, prayer and more prayer! God can fix anyone.
2. I hope to keep them medications to a minimum!
3. I try to pace myself.
4. I try to lessen racing thoughts.
5. I try to avoid anxiety and obsessive compulsive behavior disorder.
6. I I utilize music therapy and cognitive behavior (which minimizes self-defeating thoughts).
7. I find humor in the small things, especially being able to laugh at myself! [Until my second marriage, never really knew what humor was! I grew up in a home that had no sense of humor at all. Boring!]
It isn't easy. However, I must keep working at it!
