Another Fine Morning…

Ah, coherency! Where have you been all my life?

I said I was going to get myself together and clean out all these mental illness blog droppings that have accumulated on the blog. A strange fact from yesterday was that I totally don’t remember it. I can’t remember one lick of it except when Maggie started to alert me that dad was coming over when she heard a Honda CR-V a few blocks over. I do remember cleansing my house with a God like fury.  My house is spic and span now.  Dad said that I couldn't have ever given him a better present.

"No more talk of this work thing anymore dad told me last night.  You are on disability for a reason!"

Dad says we are heading to his lawyer tomorrow and make sure I am fine about my disability almost being up. Dad said I had really pushed it close there for a few weeks.

Dad was astonished yesterday morning when he found out how much I have saved last winter. Dad and I had both been busy piling up money for a rainy day.

It might have been the work schedule itself (night time work, day time sleep) rather than the work itself that messed things up. Just a thought.

I've had a few blackouts in that state too. I once sat down at a bus bench in south Minneapolis in the middle of the night. A second later, I was 4 miles away in downtown and it was early morning.

Going off Risperdal probably had more to do with the mental illness returning than the working. BUT SSDI is there for a reason so don't feel bad about using it.

Glad that you're feeling a little better. Don't get discouraged about working, you still have your lawn business and can make your own hours. Hang in there!

Sir:

Just a few points to ponder:

1. Have you destroyed *all* of your older posts?!? If so, that is very sad, for even if you do not want them now, you would value them sometime in the future and their loss is significant.

2. Have you by any chance been taking any medications in the last week or two that your father has given you that *is not* prescribed by your mental health doctor?

3. What is happening with George and his job? Is he able to get to work ok? Has he been able to help you or give you advice during the last two weeks or so?

4. In case you have not looked back at your posts the last several days.... other than the post I am replying to right now... many of them seem to suggest you are experiencing some sort of problem/issue. The abruptness of this change has me worry that perhaps it may be related to a medication change (addition or deletion) that occurred perhaps two to three weeks ago.

Wishing you well, my friend,
