When I go to write my blog, I realise that not just one thing is on my mind at a time. There are many many things I could write about actually. most importantly, for the first time in over a year I will see a doctor about my treatment options here in Japan. Abillify works for me but I also think it is about time I changed.... but i will wait to make a decision about it. Geodon is the only other one without weight gain apparently, but it seems like a dangerous one with severe side effects. I wish I could go without any meds, but I remember what it was like without... what a mess, so I hope there is a better solution out there. Weight gain is the main reason why I want to change/ or alternatively try a weight loss med.
Since about 2005 I have gained about 20 kgs. By looking at me you can't really tell the severity of this, but actually, it is starting to get worse.
I went snowboarding last weekend, I was like a beached whale half the time, so unlike me , usually fit and slim. Unlike me to give up on such an activity, but the muscle soreness got the better of me..... All I can think is "boy, I am so unfit". Anyway, despite the difficulty level, I recommend snowboarding to anyone who wants to have fun/ challenge/ get fit/take your mind off things. Actually I really think a challenge is important in life, not just something that can take your mind off things. Yes, failure is always a possibility, but hey failure is just part of the greater learning process. Many successful entrepreneurs failed many times before finally succeeding. I try to keep this in mind, despite the 'ADD' sometimes kicking in and telling me to change my focus. Anyway.... Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning.
