Day 56 "Had A Good Day"

Today was an overall good day for me.  I wasn't in the best mood and jumping around in circles but I was content and functioned ok even with the Bell's Palsy I have.  From looking at my mood tracker, since starting the Seroquel 300mg XR I have noticed that I'm not experiencing as much hypomania as I was and my depression is getting better.  I'm seeing a pattern of being more on the low side of stable but maybe that's what stable for me is.  I expect that I will still have some medication changes or dosage tweaks especially since I have still not seen the seen the doctor about my thyroid being high.  I just keep reminding myself that I'm taking back control of my life and that's what's most important to me

About the Bell's Palsy, I have been following the doctor's orders and keeping my eye covered, putting artificial tear drops in it several times a day, and taking all my pills as scheduled.  I have been taking Prednisone and everybody says that's what is giving me this energy I'm having.  I'm not going to lie and tell you that I won't be disappointed if I go back to feeling like crap when I'm done with that drug.  Even though I'm drooling, have really slurred speech, and can't close my right eye I feel really good.

Today I went to my cousins house to spend the day and of course to see her little cat Daisy who I just adore.  This little cat latched herself on to me when she was a kitten and I just love her to death.  When I lay down she crawls on top of me and sleeps wherever she pleases.  I don't mind.  Animal or not she accepts me for who I am and gives me total unconditional.  Spending time with her today was the best medicine a guy could ask for.  I hope tomorrow is as good as today was.
