What's frustrating to me is that I have experienced several brief remissions due to meds and during those I felt "normal". Meaning I felt like the old me. So I wait for that to miraculously happen again, with out my having to do anything other than take a pill or two. Or three.
I've always sorta smirked at the idea that these seemingly impotent methods (journaling, yoga etc) were an effective way to get to wellness. However, if I'm not actively turning over every stone how am I deserving of wellness (that's not quite right...I am always deserving).Anyway my new therapist is talking to me about creating pathways in the brain with repeated positive behaviors. I'm listening. And I'm realizing how lazy I've been.
