Be careful want you ask for you, just might get it. I've been asking for more patience. I mean I have alot, but felt I needed more. Well asking is easy. In order to get it I have to be tested. Lord knows I've had alot of tests these last few days. Things are popping up all over. Mostly from my #1 problem..the family. I've handled these situations well. My patience is growing. Or is it tolerance? I dunno. These problems are making me stronger. I'm learning that I can change the way I react to the family. Picking my battles maybe?

Voice update. 15 minutes of em today!  WOOHOO! I told my pdoc about how the voices are going away and the way I'm doing it, his response was "The meds are working." Bull crap I thought. I know it isn't the meds. I've been on this cocktail of meds for sometime now and still heard voices. I know it takes time for meds to work. It wasn't until I started pushing that the voices got less. I've been on several different meds for 28 years and I tell ya not one stopped the voices. Covered em up real good, but they were always there. I will always be on meds for the psychosis and mood swings, but I'm armed with a better way of stopping the voices. It's working. I heard voices continually all day. Now I hear em for 15 minutes.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for supporting me. Thanks for being patient with me.

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,

David
