Feeling better, making changes

Now that I am full-blown on my meds and they're working, my life is much better. I'm sleeping better and doing more. I'm even really making an effort to lose weight. I feel energized and alive - FINALLY! Here are a few things that keep me going:

• Taking a walk and getting a breath of fresh air
• Taking a short nap (20-30 minutes)
• Exercise of any kind (I like my punching bag and riding my bike)
• Listening to music (This really keeps me going)

Life is looking up

Well, I'm happy to say I got a job! And it's even a job I really want! I'm so excited about this new adventure! I'll be working with adolescents as a mental health worker while I pursue my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I can't wait to start! Things are getting better gradually. My meds are finally beginning to regulate themselves and I'm getting more productive and happier daily. A few things I did to help to me get through my rough times this past month:

• Read a book - I just finished Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I love having my brain stimulated and it's a great book! Just in time for the summer blockbuster too!
  
• Write - I am authoring a book of my own and have been able to spend a lot of time working on it while not having a job.
• Play games - I recently bought the game Monopoly Deal, it's the new card game. And it's so much fun! And so much more productive than watching TV and the like.
• Cleaned the house - It took my mind off other things, besides, now my house is sparkly!
• Rode my bike - I got a new bike for the warm summer days ahead! I love riding through downtown and enjoying the wind through my hair and fresh air in my lungs.

So, those are my suggestions for a feel-better you! They worked for me.
