[Bipolar Betty]
My life as a bipolar twenty somthing.Mental health star of honor.
2007-10-15
I went to see my psychiatrist today. Unfortunately a rain of Biblical proportion was beating down on me. His office is about twenty miles away from where I live. I had not seen him in over a month so I was interested in seeing what he had to say. I told him about the port incident yesterday and he just laughed at me, he said it is okay for me to drink again. Not that I want to go get hammered and dance on a table or anything, just a beer with frito chili pie would be nice now that things are cooling off.
Anyways. He seems to think that my meds have evened me out and that I should be experiencing a time of relative calm. Good news. He told me that he was proud of me and gave me a gold star sticker and told me to come back in six months. It is such a change from April, I feel like a new person. I'm down from nine psychotropic meds a day to only four. It makes such a huge change to not be drugged out of my mind.
I even dropped by the psychiatric ward to say hi, every one knows me there because I practically lived there for six months. All the aides said how good I looked and that they were happy to not have seen me in a while. I stoped by the ER too. Turns out that they are in need of a med tech to work night shift. My nursing experience makes me a really good candidate, they are suppose to get in touch with me later this week. I have not worked for a while, since before I got married. My last job was as a med tech in the ICU. Things are looking up.
Fun Facts From Betty's almanac: When you burn the roof of your mouth on hot coffee the coffee cools at a rate so fast that by the time you are able to take another sip, it is already cold.
