I just wanted to give an update, I don't have a lot of time. I have like 10 minutes to do this haha
I got to recovery ways last Monday. I should be here about 30 days. We are changing my meds. The plan is to get off of lithium and be completely on abilify so that I can take a shot once a month instead of taking my pills every day. That should help with the med compliance. I just have to tolerate the higher dose of medication first, and about 75% of people who go off lithium and onto abilify completely are fine and 25% are not and will need to supplement with lithium. But it's worth a shot.
It's very structured here so at first I was very overwhelmed but I'm used to it now. It's juist a lot haha.
I've been able to run a bit while I am here, they have a treadmill. But I've also been doing other workouts. I did a workout this morning with a couple girls.
Things are good. I feel like this is helping me. I'm just sad about losing my job as a result of needing so much help and losing those work relationships with clients and coworkers and my boss.
