Experiencing My Freedom

It feels so good.

I will be leaving CBH soon, probably for the open road!

Love,
Geronimo

P.S. I am the master of all I survey.

I'm A Dreamer

With a Mean Streak that has a purpose. Search and Destroy!

I love 3 things most in this life: F#cking, Fighting, and Fathering (in reverse order).

If you love me PUT ME TO WORK!

Rocking my way through CBH.

Love,
Geronimo

P.S. The weight of my mistakes depends on how we feel. Reality is CONSENSUAL.

Baltimore Bound?

Feeling better on a reduced dose of Abilify: 15mg/night down from 20mg/night. I took my first 15mg dose last night, and I've been feeling better all day.

I may be moving to Baltimore to live in a group home for a while. From there, I'd like to get a p/t job, see about marketing Thunder Road, and continue to work on my meds. Save up some money, get my own place in Bmore or back in the Takoma Park area. Keep on Truckin'!

Dad shared about this article with me over the phone this evening:
"The Way We Diagnose Mental Illness Might Be A 'Mistake'"

Drug Check

I've been taking 20mg/day of Abilify for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and I am quite thoroughly dried up, creatively speaking.

So much for immunity!

I am looking for a good opportunity to change something -- probably either reducing my dose of Abilify or going back to Risperdal.

Moving Farther On

I've been going through some problematic, lethargic, digestive YUCK here at CBH Health, but that seems to be on its way out. For a while I didn't feel like doing much of anything, but I did read Pete Townshend's memoirs.

I've been taking oral Abilify for about 2 1/2 weeks.

Now I'm getting geared up to see what I can do for marketing Thunder Road some more.

Here are some examples of possible outcomes of my participating in the study here at CBH:

1) I like the way I feel and can operate while taking Abilify and decide to stay on it indefinitely.

2) I like the way I feel and can operate while taking Abilify and decide to see how little I need in order to function well.

3) I do not like the way I feel and can operate while taking Abilify and decide to go back to Risperdal (the medicine I was taking before I got into this clinical study).

4) I do not like the way I feel and can operate while taking Abilify and decide to decrease the dose slowly to see if that improves things.

All of this is under the supervision of at least one psychiatrist.
