Just saw my pdoc

I told her about my manic episode on Monday and I told her about my increased intrusive thoughts and increased paranoia, so she decided to raise my risperidone dose from 3mg to 4mg.
Not really looking forward to taking more risperidone but she thinks that it’s a precautionary move.

My wonderful case manager took me.

We discussed the fact that I’m under more stress.

Hopefully I’ll feel less stressed out.

I get symptomatic when stressed, I can really identify with you. Do as much as you can to try to de-stress. Take time for yourself and relax as much as you can. Good luck!

Thanks @John_Raven @GoldenRex and @anon4362788!

I’ll try to destress but it’s going to be difficult.

Yes, they are burning me out!
I sympathize with you @GoldenRex.

My dads health has been deteriorating lately.
Psychologically it’s also taking a toll on me.

I explained everything to my pdoc and she said that I should take plenty of breaks for myself but it’s very hard.

Just yesterday we put my mother in law in an assisted living/rehab facility,

Have you guys ever talked about such an arrangement?

Unfortunately we don’t qualify for Medicaid and we can’t afford assisted living facilities out of pocket.
They are very expensive.
But we may hire more help in the house soon.

I’m glad you saw your doctor today @Wave and she listened to you. Being honest with your doctor is so helpful. Here’s hoping it lowers your stress level. I saw my doctor today, too. It was very helpful.
