Hi, its been a long time since I last wrote. Theres a lot to catch up. I am visiting my parents again for a few days with my husband, and its been a nice day so far. My internet has been giving me trouble so I haven’t come on a long time, so I thought I’d write here on my mom’s computer to you. I have been fairly stable, saw the pdoc a few weeks ago and he’s still happy with me. However the doctors at the outpatients unit at the hospital I go to seem to want to palm me off onto a day hospital because I am so stable and theres a lot of other patients more in need of them than me. I dont want to go to a day hospital because they are horribly overcrowded and you spend a whole day there waiting for meds. So I’m facing a future going off meds again to try and cope with out them. I lowered my dose of amisulpride from 600mg to 400mg to 300mg, and still take 5mg of olanzapine. So far I havent had any problems. I weighed myself today out of curiosity and I couldn’t believe I picked up 5 kgs so now I am 70kgs! I’ve never been so heavy! Its probably the olanzapine!

So that’s about my news. If you don’t see or hear from me on here its most likely because my internet is still giving me problems. I miss you all!

**Hi @Hadeda!
Glad to hear from you!
Please stay on your meds! I know it is a hassle these days to get the services you need—the whole system is annoying to say the least. Maybe if you plan for those days you have to go, it would not seem so bad. Take a book or a snack and drink with you.
Do you knit? That is a great thing to do when there is time on your hands.
Come back soon! :wave: *
