Beyond excited today!

What a day!!

I am in an in-patient unit. You knew that already, right!?

How amazing are they!

Maybe I should start from the middle and work out.

We did a writing group.

It is just so nice to be away from the world, in this social, but supportive place.

I told the psychiatric registrar that I was interested in coming off ozempic, and I also told them about my wish to wean off mirtazapine.

The first psychiatrist I saw when I was first admitted said ‘we can do that’. At the time I thought she was going cut 15 mg out in one hit, and I told her it was a ‘hard no’, but imagine if I could reduce according to Rob’s plan at a faster rate, with support and PRN medication? I could save years of my life!!

Later, a nurse suggested we go into the garden and reminded me of my plan to study the ACT for Trauma course. And I think it is such a good idea. It feels bittersweet in a way. It would certainly be professional development, since if this isn’t my career path, then I don’t know what is. This is where I feel confident, and this is where I feel like I am effective. Yay!

The rest is too difficult to say out loud. So, I will let that soak through my being for a few.
