Mental Illness Day 9-12

I know that I really do feel more impulsive when I don't take anything at all.  I try to limit those to weekends.  Well, this weekend, I took at least 5 everyday.  There was always something going on that I felt I would need to concentrate on.

Thursday,

I was incredibly weak and tired from donating blood the day before.  I took a normal dose as this was a normal working day.

Friday,

I took half a dose as I had blood drawn that day.  I didn't want to levels to not sure I wasn't taking the medication.

Saturday,

I was supposed to be going to the museum, so I took a dose.  I love museums but I feared all the stimulation would make me a little crazy and I wouldn't be able to concentrate long enough to learn anything.  We ended up not going- or couldn't go because of the ticket sales being too late.  We had fun outside anyway

Sunday,

I usually take half a dose for church to concentrate through the meetings.  It honestly makes a huge difference, sadly.



In general, I feel better on the medication.  I can definitely feel when I'm not on it.  I think my behavior/thoughts/feelings are exacerbated in the first day or so when I'm not on the medication which is frustrating but I really don't want to get dependent and tolerant to this.
