     I have been out of work since April 4, and it is now May 16.  Oh my Lord, why is this recovery so slow?  When will I be back in remission again?
     I have a few things to write about, but my mind is still not quite right.  In other words, it takes me a lot longer to collect and organize my thoughts.  It feels like a huge effort to do anything.  Even though, I love to write, my desire to do so is almost non-existent, at this time.
     At this time, I'm going to give you an update, about how I am feeling at this point.  Basically, I am still not doing so well.  I am taking my medications, attending psychotherapy appointments, going to support groups, and trying to do little things that would normally bring joy to me.  My personality, however, has changed a bit, it seems.
     Less then 2 months ago, I felt a good amount of joy, for a fairly long stretch of time.  Now, I am overly serious, I don't smile as much, I don't laugh much, and every little thing pisses me off.
     At this current time, I am prescribed Effexor, Trillifon, Neurontin, BusPar, & Seroquel for psychiatric medications.  I was taken off of Abilify, while I was in the hospital, and now I'm wondering if I need to start taking it again.
