Head miles...

Got in to see the doctor on monday after work for my fortnightly shot of resperidone conte. I was pleased that I didn't have to wait very long and am appreciative of having a hardworking and flexible doctor available in this small town. I have had more success with medications since seeing this physician.

I have seen dozens of doctors, psychiatrists and associated mental health workers for my schizophrenia over the years, but none have been as successful at treating my illness as this man. I love the resperidone conte and am so glad of ending the daily pill regime that for years I needed to keep any form of stability in my life.

Work is tolerable now and this has not always been the case. I seem able to avoid what I describe as "head miles", times I spent endlessly conversing with a myriad of thoughts,"voices", paranoia's and phobias. I used to feel as if I was doing miles and miles in my own mind. It was thoroughly exhausting. I am happy to say that with the help of this medication that at the end of a hard day's work I am simply physically tired, and not physically tired and mentally exhausted. I thank resperidone conte and my doctor for this.

I have missed posting here since saturday night. I arrived home from day shift today and still had the mental capacity to log on and catch up on some of the regular blogs that I read. I will finish this post and catch up on a few more before settling down for a meal, a little television and a good nights sleep...
