Me, my Self and I !?
First let me say I'm still on the program.
Everything is going great.
I eat more then I ate before.
But will wait till Sunday for the weigh in.
After the dentist on Tuesday, I realized that all the anxiety I felt through out the day was all my doing. I got home and felt more relaxed with myself.
The numbness in my jaw left and I didn't feel any pain.
Sure it was sensitive to hot or cold, but it was not hurting.
Still today, no pain.
Yesterday I ran a few errands.
Checked the camera store to rent a zoom.
The Out Games will be here at the end of July.
Wanna take lots of pics at the opening.
Got cat food. Found some cute 3D puzzles.
Then I decided to see if my finances would allow me to buy...
...a bike.
I've wanted a bike for the last 5 years.
I want to use it to get around and go to work.
By subway it's only 20 minutes.
By car, forget it. Parking down town is so expensive.
So after checking, I was a bit tight.
Then I realized, if I take a cab to and from one doctor,
about $20.00. The other, about $36.00.
So it's already $56 towards my new bike.
So I went for it. Got my bike.
It's a Schwinn, hybrid, yellow and white.
I'll post a pic of it soon.
So after buying the bike, I rode for about 20 min.
Once home I just couldn't sit still.
So I went for another hour of cycling.
The roommate, his name is Pascal BTW, was surprised and liked it.
Then when I told him how long I had been gone for
he said "don't you think you're over doing it?"
Folks, all day yesterday and today,
no signs of anxiety, no panic, nothing.
I almost feel normal.
After chatting a bit with Pascal, I weeded the front yard.
Again he warned me, "Pascal, I've been hiding in the house for the last 3 months. When it was sunny, where was I? Inside.
Now I feel great. I wanna be outside."
Pascal: And now it's raining!
Me: So, it's raining. It feels great.
So you see guys, I've been almost ok for 2 days.
Today I rode for over 3 hours.
I love my bike.
My first appointment was with my regular doctor.
He read what the psychiatrist told me, to wait and see if the higher dosage would work, wait 3 weeks. If not up the dosage once and twice if necessary.
If sleeping disorder persist, sleeping pills.
I asked him if we could wait on those cause I just started exercising.
He gave it to me anyway and said to use it IF I feel the need.
I'll give it another week.
Some of you know I chat with you till very late, you turn in.
I stay up. Then in the morning, we chat again.
That was my sleep. Not much. Maybe 4 hours.
No nap during the day.
I would like to sleep during the day but after half an hour of trying, forget it.
The antidepressants are weakening me.
Even if I ride my bike, I don't go to fast.
My second appointment was with the anxiety specialist.
He was surprise to see me on my bike.
For the second time, so 2 X $85.00 all we did was go through my history.
We stopped today I was 26.
So I guess another $85.00 to have me talk again.
Thank god I'm not older. lol
But all in all guys I think I'm back.
And last but not least, it's only been 4 days, but I'm still alcohol free!

Congrats on your new bike. I'm chatting with you and reading this at the same time!! Hehe!! I've got you in stereo!!
Stay focused! keep up the exercise, its good for both the body and mind!
Good for you!!! Keep it up and ENJOY!!!!
you can do it bud! Enjoy that camera too, I think it will bring you much fun, and lots of pictures for the blog too.
You got me missing my bike, I sold it when I moved from the beach last year. I've really missed it.
About a year and a half ago I crashed. I had been heading toward it for five or six years. On the way up and out of that I came to some marvellous things. I know you will,too. I tossed aside a lot of the crap that I had been told all my love, and found out that I can accept and honor my creation. It was so worth it. But damn it that i had to go through it!
oops, that should be life, and not love. Or maybe not, because it was about love.
Damn! Your sleeping hours sounds like mine with one exception. I *can* sleep in the daytime. Why? Because the pills I take don't kick-in when they're supposed to. So... whenever I lay down in the daytime, I'm out.
