Happy Thansgiving

By FOTL Thursday, November 26, 2009

Hello everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I know that I for one have much to be thankful for. I'm thankful that I'm not in the hospital. Last year, I spent thanksgiving in Bellvue (after spending my birthday in prison). My whole family was affected, and they didn't celebrate. This year, we have about 8 people coming over to my aunt's house. Preparations are already underway. The turkey is stuffed and in the oven, and the fridge is stocked with Boston Market's best :).

 

I'm thankful that I've finally found medications that work for me. I feel really good about both abilify and geodon. I'm thankful that my doctors let me switch from respirol and zyprexa. I hope that my new insurance doesn't want me to switch medications.

 

I'm thankful that my photography is going so well. I have another participant booked for my mental illness photography project for this upcoming Sunday. I need a name for the project, but outside of being nameless, it is progressing well. I still need a better way to get more participants. I contacted NAMI and the people involved have been helpful, but I only got one other participant though them. 

 

Anyhow, this is going to be a short entry, because I need to help my aunt out.

 

Again, Happy Thanksgiving and I wish you guys nothing but the best!

 

Mike

Hi Michael,

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I too am on Geodon and that has been like a miracle drug so I understand what you're saying about the effects of this medication.

 

We'll be going to my cousin's house for turkey later.  It will take two hours to drive there if we are lucky.  I'm waiting right now for my parents to pick me up.

 

Enjoy your day.

 

Regards,

Christina
